Fatal error???????? (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

:? I'm starting this thread because here recently every time I click to read a post or thread I keep getting an error code on the script. Has anyone else experienced this other than myself? If so, does anyone know how to fix this problem? I would really appreciate any advice or input. Thanks in advance.

I don't know ... I have the same problem on my iphone but my pc works fine. I always assumed either the add used flash which the iphone doesn't have or that it had something to do with the safari browser.

Just keep refreshing ... eventually works usually

it happens to me some times also. I made a post about it a few weeks ago and no one answered.

I'm sure Shane (VP) will respond shortly. He handles the computer glitches....
I've never had the experience.
He did run a test of some kind earlier this evening he may be working on it.

If you are using IE, it sounds like you may have an option enabled to show you a message for every script error.

1.Use the Tools option from IE's menu bar to select "Internet Options".
2. In the "Internet Options" window, select the "advanced" tab.
3. Find the option "Display a notification about every script error". If it is selected, uncheck the box and restart IE.

A lot of these internet forums use JavaScript that isn't necessarily "perfect" for every browser. You can pretty much blame the browser vendors - yes all of them - (MS, Mozilla Org, Apple, etc...) for making that a difficult proposition.

If you can, use Firefox or Google Chrome and you'll have no problems with this site.

it does this on my palm treo, which this msg is comming from. it happens much more when I hit a link when the current page is not completely loaded. I go back and let that page finish loading, then I try again. that has failed twice. refreshing has fixed it every time the complete load method failed.

The image resize code is the only code I see that's likely to be causing you an issue. There's an unload event that might be firing in your treo browser trying to close something that doesn't exist. I'm not sure if image sizing is configurable, but that's my first guess for what is causing the JavaScript error .

184 rmw_old_onunload = window.onunload;
185 window.onunload = function()
186 {
187 if (rmw_old_onunload)
188 {
189 rmw_old_onunload();
190 rmw_old_onunload = null;
191 }
192 if (!rmw_pop.closed)
193 {
194 rmw_pop.close();
195 }
196 }

I get the error code on my G1 but not on pc

Mobile web browsers are still a tiny percentage of all web traffic. It's likely that this PHP nuke forum software has been through a complete quality analysis against either the browser on the Treo or G1.

I believe it is likely that Apple nailed it with the iPhone. Browsing the web is tough on a tiny screen no matter how fast or good the device may be. You'll notice that the "app store" is full of applications that get you a bit of information that is usually hosted on a website in a device friendly format.

Now, if there was a standard that would allow the apps to run on ALL touch screen smart phones the way websites can run on all PCs, that would be a REALLY getting it right.

I'm not sure what the RSS feed capabilities of our forum are, but that might be a better way for mobile users to interface with the site.

this is what get with my treo all the time



Fatal error: Call to undefined function: viewbanner2() in /home/hostmars/public_html/modules/Forums/viewtopic.php on line 1190

Okay, now we've got something to work with. (not to say I have debugging access to this site, but it would probably help)

That error is a server PHP error, not a client error. If it is only showing up on mobile browsers, that's odd. We certainly have more banner ads on our site now with the banners between message posts. I'm not sure when that was done, but it seems to be following a patter as defined in this post.

Anyway, this thread should probably move to another forum now.

So is there away to remove the error while using our phones?

 

[mpwolken]

I don't know about that last error (which should only be on the server - but might cause the first error).

I'm not sure what options are available on your browsers, but it's likely that none of the options are really user friendly.

Here are the options I'd look for on your devices:

1. (The best option) Disable notices of JavaScript errors. There's no reason a user really needs to know there's a problem with JavaScript running on a site unless they are debugging the site.

2. Disabling JavaScript (probably disables for ALL sites if this is an option and that's not really a great idea).

I don't really know of all the options your different browsers have. If we ever meet at a club meeting or something, maybe you can show me what you're seeing. I know this site is administered by one of our members, but I don't know who. If they aren't software developers, I may be able to help them figure something out.
