forum bug in ie8

[briane]

I am unable to read forum posts in ie8. It appears to be a javascript issue. Here is the error message.

I did a quick search and found this site that might explain it: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=259602.

I'm unable to make it a link because when I click on the link icon I get a 404 error for '/clientscript/ieprompt.html'.

I believe that I have solved the IE8 problem. The issue was caused when I attempted to include the SHOWTHREAD dropdown arrows inside the corresponding buttons (reply, thread tools, search this thread).

I will continue to search for issues IE7 & IE8 issues and if you come across anymore please let me know here in this thread.

Hey guys, i'm using jay cooke 8.05 open source VM and i'm having issues with CSS customization in ie8.

I've removed the left navigation links, page bar values and site nav headers for people that are not logged in to the wiki/site. When I view the modification in Safari, IE7 and firefox the desired effect occurs. However when I view the site in IE8 all of the css modifications are ignored?

Can you help shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Deeboh
