False lead. My header and footer are identical between the customized style and the default style and I still get the error in the customized style.

First step, run the affected page through The W3C Markup Validation Service. It will find any mismatched tags, improper usage, etc. All of which could affect proper display.

Many of the errors it will return might be for strict sake, but it will find actual table/layout/etc errors as well. For example:

Those are just a few of the more pressing ones I'd focus on first. Ideally, you'd like to pass the validator and be W3C XHTML Compliant.

My money, however, is on this one:

Hrm, I can't get line 607 to correlate to the </script> on my side.

When validating your page, select the "Show Source" button. It will display your page source, with line numbers.

Ah. Looks like it's in my navbar, I'll take a look in a couple hours -- I have to leave work (LOL been troubleshooting this all day..) and go to class.

Alright well I removed the </script> and alas the same error is still present. It definitely seems like it's only in IE7, as the people that did not heed the thread's warning title all said they use FireFox, not IE7, and they said the maps load fine for them. I myself can view it fine in FF, and then as soon as I switch over to IE7 it errors me out.

It definitely seems to fail with the Customized style that I use. If I switch over to the Default style, it loads perfectly fine with no problems. What it's not compatible with, I'm not sure. I've copied over the custom style's header, headinclude, and footer so all of that would be the same. So now the difference lies with mods that are applying to the custom style and not the default, or template changes applying to custom and not default. :shrug: I'll try and trouble shoot this more tonight and tomorrow.

Just an update, I was UNABLE to replicate the Operation Aborted message on my girlfriend's laptop which runs WinXP IE6. This happens on my computer at my office, WinXP IE7 and on my laptop Windows Vista Business with IE7.

Edit: My dad was able to load the site on his WinXP computer with IE7. So it seems the issue is with my computer. I closed my browser, went into the Internet Options and cleared my cache, cookies, and browsing history for IE. Started IE and TA-EFFIN-DA the thread loads with no error messages!!!! Whether this fixes the error on all threads from now on or not, not sure... but in any case, it's now fully functional for my site on IE7, IE6, and FF2 as far as I can tell.

Magnus and Doctor Death, can you clear your cache with IE closed, then reopen IE and try the thread link to see if it works for you now too?

Just came back to post here, as I've asked my forum members to explicitly test this plugin with MSIE 7 and all of my forum's skins... and they had no problems whatsoever.

So the issue being troubleshot above is specific to meissenation's forum, and/or it's skin, and/or MSIE 7 on his computer.

From the sounds of it, seems like just need to clear cache.

At work clearing my cache didn't fix it, so I cleared my cache, browsing history, and cookies and THEN it worked again.
