Hi, sorry for the trouble, I found out that the problem happened when I did not use GZip Compression. Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem in the future.
I see no errors, I think it's an IE problem.
Surely this is just a Javascript problem in IE?
Sometimes it causes conflicts but there is no known problems with these errors. When it appears, does it stop you from doing anything?
I think it might be IE problem too, no it doesn't really stop you (just that it looks a bit annoying at the left bottom of page)...
I just opened you're forum on IE7 and there isn't any message :confused:.

Oh...that's because I just fixed it some hours ago.
I enabled some option for GZip compression and the error is gone.

Didn't see that
Glad it's sorted anyways
This is an IE specific error. This is a well known error here, in Israel. The 'Lang' is actually nothing to do with the web site itself, but an internal IE variable. If you go to (in the IE software itself) "tools" -> "Internet Options" -> int the "Appearance" there is a button called "Language" - IE expects that a site will (I think usinge META, but not that sure) use variable that this option creates. This is used by sites (like Microsoft's) to know in what language to show the site.
I did some checking a while ago with site builders, and I was assured that this should not make any difference surfing/using any site that IE prompts this error about.
Ori...
Or, I'd just delete IE and get a proper browser

Like... Chrome?... with no smooth or middle-click scrolling, accessibility problems, broken web dev. tools, dire bookmark management...
I don't see any problems with your site in IE8 - if I remember right, I read somewhere that IE7 has a problem defining charsets, which leads to this problem.
It won't cause any user problems though, so it's safe to use... ish...
