Yes, that was a bug, but unfortunately not anything to do with the flash error. However, you should now see a beautifully underlined link when you hover your mouse over the "read this month's column" link on the home page. Thanks!
"golfmachine" sent me his javascript messages and after briefly looking into the error it may be a browser version thing.
Could one of you mac guys who is having problems tell me what version of firefox you're using?
The string I'm intereted in is retrieved by choosing "help"->"About Mozilla Firefox" on the firefox menu. Please post the last couple lines from the resulting dialog. Mine is as follows:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1. Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5"
If you're not using Firefox 1.5 you may want to try upgrading (http://www.getfirefox.com) to see if your problem goes away.
I checked on a Camino board and received this reply.

It's a JavaScript error related to scriptable Flash. There are some open bugs about issues with Flash/JS on OS X, but it sounds like at least some of them are solved in recent versions of the Flash plugin
I will review and possibly upgrade flash on my machine and post whether this helped or not.
edit:Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22 (latest and greatest) makes no difference

I've been working on this one, guys. About the only thing I can find, though are references to problems with the flash plugin. My guess is that madobemedia (macromedia+adobe ) has introduced some sort of Mac bug into the plugin, but it's hard to say at this point.
I think golfinmachine is right on the money, but we'll keep workin' on it. Again, the only thing this affects is the flash announcements banner, so be sure to check out the LBG academy page regularly for upcoming events.
