Thank you Lisa.
I took a look at Lisa's forum and indeed got my IE6 to lockup with a script problem.
However, after investigating, I tracked the error to the displaying of the names and upon further investigation found that there was no fault with this modification, the actual problem was with the html markup being used to colour the names on the forum.
What I found was that she had an opening span tag to set the style colour, but the closing tag did not have the / in it (i.e. <span> instead of </span>). Because of the number of names being displayed by the modification, this resulted in a whole load of opening <span> tags with no corresponding closing tag - and for some reason this seems to combine with the latest vb366/367 javascripts to totally upset certain browsers (like IE6).
So, I'm currently satisfied that this problem is a combination of the latest vb clientscripts and faulty usergroup markup html (tags not being closed properly). This is why it only happens in a handful of cases. While Jelsoft might want to look at why their latest code dies in some browsers with tag mismatches, the fix seems to be to make sure your markup html is correct.
