View Full Version : Annoying error messages

Getting a persistent and very, very annoying error message popping up when I'm on this site on one of three PCs here at work.
Firstly, it's really only this site. On very rare occasions it pops up elsewhere, but it almost always occurs on foot.ie, and foot.ie only.
Secondly, it's always on this PC. There's three here that are connected to each other, and the three then further connected to a bigger network, but it happens on the one machine only. Something with the way this one is set up maybe?

The error message is below. The line number varies. The _gat is always the same.

It's annoying because it pops up after almost every move, and you have to kill it (both yes and no gets rid) each time, sometimes twice, to be able to do anything else.

EDIT - Right, have noticed one or two things that might help. The line numbers that pop up seem to relate to where on the site you are. So each time you go back to the main forum list it's line 1551. The Wexford Youths forum always gives line 1519, Music subforum always gives 2331, Technology is 1827 etc...
Individual threads within each subforum seem not to cause an error, only when you go back out onto the forum list, but on editting this post I got line numbers 1109 and 1111 at different times.
Also, on the occasions when there's two error pop-ups to kill, the first seems to always have the Error: Expected '}'

Message is usually like this:

A runtime error has occured.
Do you wish to debug?
Line: 1714
Error: '_gat' is undefined


Any help would be greatly appreciated 'cos it's doing my bean in! :D

Is this in internet explorer? Try firefox, or opera instead

Yeah, bet its IE ... empty temp files etc. and close all browsers and try again.

It is in IE, but it's at work. Changing browsers or versions of this browser is not an option.
The point is though that 2 similar machines here, both running the same IE do not produce the same error messages.

Edit - just seen Face's suggestion, will try that now. It is the machine that's most used for the internet so that could be the cause.

Also if that doesn't work, and last resort is Tools -> Options -> Advanced Tab -> Restore Defaults.
