I'm so sorry. Do you want to talk about it? :P

I'm not sure. It was kind of traumatic, but on the other hand it's a very old site, so it was obvious that there might be some dead bodies in the basement. Found one, ignored the others.
The IE 7 compatibility code broke the site in modern browsers, or did you really get a visitor on a Windows 98 machine?
It was a bug in an old version of superfish.js which relied on a deprecated jQuery function to detect the browser. $.browser broke in the new(er/est) version of jQuery which is integrated in that site.
