Javascript error on forum index

Reupload all the .js files in the clientscript directory. Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

After this you may need to do a hard refresh to clear your cache: CTRL-F5

I also notice that your site is using some sort of popup code. Try this. Create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Then change to this style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

Yes, it appears to be a conflict with the Fastclick pop-under code. Fastclick does not allow modification of their code, but for reference, this is what it looks like:

HTML Code:

<!-- FASTCLICK.COM POP-UNDER CODE v1.8 for bigblueball.com (12 hour) --> 
<script language="javascript"><!--								 
var dc=document; var date_ob=new Date();
dc.cookie='h2=o; path=/;';var bust=date_ob.getSeconds();
if(dc.cookie.indexOf('e=llo') <= 0 && dc.cookie.indexOf('2=o') > 0){
dc.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript" src="http://media.fastclick.net');
dc.write('/w/pop.cgi?sid=7676&m=2&tp=2&v=1.8&c='+bust+'"></scr'+'ipt>');
date_ob.setTime(date_ob.getTime()+43200000);
dc.cookie='he=llo; path=/; expires='+ date_ob.toGMTString();} // -->
</script>														  
<!-- FASTCLICK.COM POP-UNDER CODE v1.8 for bigblueball.com -->

I have used conditionals to insert this code in the <head> for guests only. There is no javascript error if you're logged in. There isn't an error in this code, though, because it works fine on non-forum pages. All I can figure is that there is a conflict somewhere between the Fastclick and vBulletin javascript functions.

Anyone using Fastclick and vBulletin?

Fastclick is a pretty large ad network, and vBulletin is one of the most popular forum systems... it seems like someone will have run across this problem before.

It appears that there is a conflict between the javascript for the Fastclick popunder and some bit of vBulletin code. The error only shows up when the Fastclick invocation code is inserted, and the invocation code works fine on all non-vBulletin pages.
