IE8 – Subscriptions options change does not update until page is refreshed

Hello there

I am running WordPress 3.7 and Buddypress 1.8.1 on a website for users with IE8. When the user updates her subscription options and the dropdown closes, the options are not updated until the page is refreshed.

There seems to be a problem for IE8 in rendering this line on “bp-activity-subscription-js.js”:

j( ‘#gsubstat-‘+group_id ).html( status );

When I alert status like this:

alert (status);

on other browsers the alert comes up with the option selected but on IE8 it is blank. Not sure why IE8 does not read status.

But once the page is refreshed the subscriptions options are updated.

Any help much appreciated.
