I get this error to. (The yellow exclamation mark in the left hand side of the status bar in IE).

It is a java error that displays on the main form page as well as any page within the form. It says:

Line 17
Char 5
Error "length is not null or not an object"

When I use Mozilla Firefox the error doesnt appear.

Oh, it's a javascript error? Then it's an issue with #291084: Collapsible forum containers

Yea, I opened up advanced_forum.module and commented out all the COLLAPSABLE CONTAINERS section and it seems to work without the java error.

Hacking the module file is not needed. Just copy the template file to your theme and remove the js calls.

Dear Michelle,

How can I do that?

Thank you for the tip, Michelle, but I need more information (I am also having this problem, using alpha12). I looked through all the template files that come with the module, and through all the copies of them in my theme, and I cannot find any js calls. Which template file is it in, and what js call needs to be removed? Thanks!

Just use the dev. And, in general, it's not a good idea to keep commenting on issues that have been marked duplicate. It's hit or miss whether they'll get answered.
