The webmaster is not taking mail, but instead asks that we use the
newsgroup.

I get a "Runtime Error" on EVERY SINGLE PAGE of the povray.org site, which
makes it extremely annoying to use.  It tells me, "Line: 1 Error: Invalid
character".

I wonder if it has something to do with the "Flycast Ad" patent-pending
advertising script that's embedded in every page?

What browser are you using?  I used to get this error on an old version
of Netscape for OS/2 that didn't process Javascrit properly.

Probably.

The solution might be to get a bugfix for your web browser.  If no bug fix
is available, the easiest way is to upgrade the browser.  However, I have
had no problem accessing the povray.org page with browser versions as old as
Netscape 2 and Internet Explorer 3 on various platforms.  This crash might
just be a sign of a general problem in your system and the usual path of a
complete reinstall might resolve frequent crashes.
