Can't figure it out...

It's because they seem to have a misplaced </script> tag in their code and Safari just happens to choke on it while other browsers seem to figure it out. The code on the xgenstudios site sucks. Both sites seem to use the same code style. Complain to their web masters.

That is just a standard vBulletin skin code.

Maybe so, but it's still the problem. There's javascript being run outside a script tag.

Hmm, I guess they have modified it then.

just in case the OP doesn't fully realize, but Java and JavaScript are 2 totally different creatures. The script error you're seeing has nothing at all to do with Java. those sites work fine in my Safari 3.0. Make sure you go to Preferences -> Security -> Web Content and have the box for JavaScript checked.

Enabling Javascript in Safari preferences was the first thing I did, and it makes no difference.

Which version of Safari are you using? I tried with 3 beta and it works OK. You can do a search for the beta version.
