In the last day or so, I noticed that when I go to Recently Active, I get the site headers and then just a fragment of Javascript (when on Firefox) or just the site headers alone (when on IE). When I browse source, the last thing received is this:

<script type="text/javascript"> function toggleMenu(id){ element = document.getElementById(id); element.className = (element.className.toLowerCase() == 'expanded' ? 'collapsed' : 'expanded'); }

The problem didn't occur on IE when I wasn't logged in. Any ideas what's going on?

    It isn't the Norton problem, is it?

      I hadn't thought of that. I tried turning it off, but it didn't help. I also shut off all custom CSS as I'm getting strange javascript errors and that didn't help either.

        I had to completely disable Norton. Everything -- not just one component, or setting up a special exception rule -- but absolutely everything. (Right click, select disable.)

    I don't have this problem using Opera 8.52, Firefox 1.5, or IE 7. I'm wondering what changes could have occurred that would affect both your browsers...

    Nothing has changed on the site, so its probably something local to your set up.

      I'm not so sure. The problem only appeared when I was logged in (both browsers), so it's not a browser/firewall/ad-blocker issue. I shut down all my custom CSS, just in case (based on some extraneous "^M" characters in the source) and that didn't fix it either.

      Finally, clearing my newest nodes flag fixed it. I have no idea why.
