The first image was not appearing in Internet Explorer and was giving me the following error:

jquery "console" is undefined

To resolve this, I added the following line to /js/jquery.galleriffic.js right before console.log(nextIndex); on line 634:

if (!window.console) console = {log: function() {}};

This code was taking from Stack Overflow: 'console' is undefined error for internet explorer. I'm not sure this is the best way to solve this issue, but it worked for me.
