Well few questions :

• Which vB version do you use ?
• Do you have YUI files has local or ? (options of the chatbox)
• Do you have mod_security on your server ?

i have vbulletin 3.8.1
it is in remote the yui file
no, i have no mod security...

ps: if i enter in the forum with an other account, the chatbox goes very well

Hey vBDev! How are you doing today?
Since the final upgrade, a lot of my members are experiencing a AJAX/Javascript error.



This is the error. Is this similar to you and do you know how to fix it?
I hope you can spare some minutes to help me out with this.

Thank you kindly in advance.

My chatbox stopped working in every browser except IE. I haven't upgraded/changed anything in our forums.

This is the JS error I'm getting in FF3:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMHTMLTableSectionElement.appendChild]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: ==DOMAIN_REMOVED==/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/yui/element/element-beta-min.js :: anonymous :: line 7"  data: no]

FYI Google Chrome JS error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'TYPE_JSON' of undefined ==DOMAIN_REMOVED==/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/yui/autocomplete/autocomplete-min.js (line 7)
 Uncaught Error: NOT_FOUND_ERR: DOM Exception 8
==DOMAIN_REMOVED==/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/yui/element/element-beta-min.js (line 7)

Oh you are using google chrome ?

yes i tried..and i tried also with other computer..it doesn't work..
if I disconnect the account, it works, if I connect, id dosn't

[VBDev]

IT's just a question of account ?

Do you any error of javascript in the firefox error console ?

[wutthehell]

I have tried everything. The fix in the bug list did not work for me. I am using 3.7.1, I downloaded the latest release of this... and I keep getting the Ajax error: An error has occured. Please report your admin. Then it just sits there in Loading status.

I am using IE7. Has anything come of this or is it just going to be handled in the next release...?
