My buddy Jonas noticed that some of my posts where causing a IE script error (nothing in FireFox though). Turns out that it was just happening in my latest posts and it was due to the DZone Plugin v1.0.0.3 which had a bug in it that was causing the script error. I fixed the script code and uploaded...
