Does anyone know what this message is telling me and how I can fix it?

You can copy/paste (or type) the name of the script into your search engine of choice to find out what it does. Depending on your search results, you can make a decision on whether/not to fix the problem. The fix for the issue will probably also be included in your initial search results. If not, add the word, "fix" to your search.

One thing I see right away are the letters, "js", which would indicate, "javascript". You might want to make sure you have the latest version of java on your computer, but the current recommendation I find online is that java be disabled and deleted from your computer, as there are too many security issues. The choice is yours.

Quickest fix is to tick the "Don't ask me again" box, then select "Stop script".

Im not getting an error message, but on the app everytime time I go to a new page it sends me all the way down to the bottom and I have to scroll up again. Any fixes for that?

Has it always behaved that way for you, or is this recent behavior? (I'm wondering if there's a connection to that newly added, "It looks like you're using an ad blocker" annoyance.)

FWIW, I get the same behavior using my magic mouse and my Mac on this site. For some reason, this is one of only a very few sites where my magic mouse becomes hypersensitive to scrolling (and always downward). Moving my fingers away the mouse stops the scrolling.

You might experiment with being overly conscious of where your fingers are in relation to your touchscreen to see if that makes a difference.

Yes. That bug needs to be fixed. If you wait about 10 - 20 seconds, depending on your phone's connection (wifi, 4G, etc.), you should be able to scroll back up and it won't pull you back down. It does that while trying to load all the banner and block ads. If you don't wait and allow it to finish loading, it will continue to pull you back down to the bottom. Would be great if Rob could address this...

Morosoco,

That is the same message I get on my home computer whenever I log onto this site. The debug script doesn't seem to work either.  I just don't log in to Broadway World from home anymore, as it renders my computer useless.

The error message that I posted originally has started relentlessly popping up again so I did some more research. I'm on Firefox so I downloaded an add-on called YesScript and blacklisted broadwayworld. Now the error message has gone away completely and the site runs 100% smoother for me. I have noticed that since I blacklisted broadwayworld on YesScript I can no longer watch videos... but I'm okay with that. Here's the link for the add-on if you are on Firefox and want to give it a try...

Another nice thing about this add-on... no more messages asking that I turn off my ad blocker!
