January 3, 201016 yr While working on a problem in Opera unrelated to MSFN, I had reason to enable its error logging feature. Here is an example found in the log of something it flags as an error:--- 03 Jan 2010 02:13:50 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php"]http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php[/url]?Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have StacktraceThe thing that pops up over and over is that item Undefined variable: _gat. Means nothing to me, maybe it does to the administrators? I should note that I see entries from other websites mentioning variables as well (e.g., urchinTracker). Also it seems that the log reflects the currently focused webpage. Here are the last few entries right from the log while I have been here at MSFN:--- 03 Jan 2010 02:19:15 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/win9x-tools-realtime-process-monitors-t140830.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/win9x-tools-real...rs-t140830.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:19:25 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/add-reply-f8-t140830.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/add-reply-f8-t140830.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:19:52 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/win9x-tools-realtime-process-monitors-t140830-pid-900998.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/win9x-tools-real...pid-900998.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:20:17 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/add-reply-f8-t137637.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/add-reply-f8-t137637.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:32:36 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php"]http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php[/url]?Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:33:05 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/forum.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/forum.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:51:36 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php"]http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php[/url]?Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:54:15 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/opera-10-t137637-pid-901001.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/opera-10-t137637-pid-901001.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:54:42 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/site-forum-issues-f23.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/site-forum-issues-f23.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have Stacktrace--- 03 Jan 2010 02:55:07 ---[url="http://www.msfn.org/board/create-new-post-in-site-forum-issues-f23.html"]http://www.msfn.org/board/create-new-post-...issues-f23.html[/url]Inline script threadError:name: ReferenceErrormessage: Statement on line 2: Undefined variable: _gatstacktrace: n/a; see opera:config#UserPrefs|Exceptions Have StacktraceI'm pretty sure that last line of each entry is stating that I have Javascript debugging disabled or something. Does anyone enable that? And would it reduce or increase these error entries?Just thought I would bring this to your attention.
January 3, 201016 yr Have you blocked the Google Analytics script by any chance (or set the domain to an invalid IP in your hosts file or something)? That would cause such errors in any browser.Works fine over here (not using Opera though! )

January 3, 201016 yr 127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.comThat's another address it uses. You often have to do a ipconfig /flushdns for these changes to take effect.
