| Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed |
| Do you have a <base> tag in your code? Might need a conditional closing tag for IE :(

Looking at the page source I do have the following: <base href="http://www.example.com/forums/" /><!--[if IE]></base><![endif]--> Does that look like a problem to you?

I think closing the base tag is only needed for IE6 and below: <!--[if lte IE 6]></base><![endif]--> Judging from the error message, I'd take a good look at the DOM tree and make sure all elements are properly closed. Maybe vBulletin is inserting some spurious tags in addition to the ones defined in your template?

Here are some more ideas: [blogs.msdn.com...] Apparently, doing an appendChild() to an element further down the tree is a sure-fire way to trigger this behavior. Suggestions include deferring the script execution or placing it in the immediate parent element.
