Hi,
For some reason I kept on have problem on my bottom page Navi drop down list where it just doesn't link to other page, and my emotion icons view more link. I fixed it couple time with the files I had for backup and it fixed it, but later on the problem came back again. I didn't do any setting change or anything.

I just upgrade from 7.01 to 7.8 yesterday.

I tried to view the error, the Page drop down Shows

Looks like a corrupted file, or something prevent the javascript to open a new window from executing.

Try reuploading files again.

If this doesn't solve the problem, use Mozilla Firebird from http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ as it has a much better JavaScript debugging tool that can help track down the error better.

Actually I upgraded from 7.01 to 7.8 recently.
This is how I did it

-I created another forum on the same site under mysite.com/forum/
-I modify & upgrade it the way I want it to be
-I replace all the upgraded and modified files except database to my original site mysite.com/bb/
-everything would see to look fine and work at the very beginning, but 5-10 min later the links are broken(showing java error) again.

And, I just found out the links on mysite.com/bb/ only work when I leave the mysite.com/forum/ on my site, and the links show error when I delet the mysite.com/fourm from my site, then it works again when I put mysite.com/forum/ back in the site. I'm wondering is there any connections to it?? I tried to replace the whole /bb/ with v7.8 I just downloaded, but the same problem still exist, so I guess it comes down to leave my testing forum on or not ?!!

Check the path to your database.
Turn off friendly HTTP errors in IE so that you get detailed error messages to findout what the problem is.
Use Mozilla Firebird as this is much better when trying to determine the problem, and it's a better browser than IE.

I assume you mean Firefox when saying Firebird?

have you modified header.asp? if yes, have a look at it and see if you can find this line

<script  language="javascript"
src="includes/default_javascript.js"
 
type="text/javascript"></script>

if you can't find that line, insert it and I think it should work..

Did the same thing myself and it took me days to figure out what was wrong

< ="" src="includes/default_.js" ="text/"> < ="" src="includes/default_.js" ="text/">

Firebird is an older version of firefox.

Yes, I modified my header.asp.
Yes, I did have the line that connect the external js.
No, I didn't have it connect to /bb/ after I replace the files with /forum/.

That explains why links didn't work after I deleted /forum/.

... That was a terrible mistake I overlooked...

Thanks for your help, or I probably wouldn't realize where to go look at.

that's good.. as I said, it took me days to find out what was wrong and I just gave up on the whole thing and went to modify header and footer, and there I saw something was wrong.. I fixed it and everything worked fine
