Almost certainly a conflict. At least most probable. Most common in the theme but as far as I am aware Suffusion is good so probably a plugin in your case. I don’t enough about most of yours to point a finger I am afraid!

This codex article explains what to look for:

Once the culprit is found and the code is found where scripts are being loaded then it is usually fairly easy to fix up.

I will try and clean those up thanks. We do whenever we find any or get them reported.

But they are just ‘Notices’ and wont have any detrimental effect.

I found out today that I can post using safari and my iPad… Hmmmm. Firefox is still showing greyed out text area though and not allowing posts.

Unusual but not unheard of. Firefox and Webkit browsers do use different js engines.

Do you want to give me a link to your forum page so I can look to see if anything stands out as an issue?

The problem component is something to do with ebay. Maybe a widget of some kind.
It is incorrectly loading jQuery (thus being loaded twice and it is an old version) causing many script errors.
