Strange behavior of Recent Activity

I noticed that Recent Activity content is not visible in IE 11 and Opera 12.17, but in Opera 20 everything is fine.
The strange thing is that in Opera 20 it is always works, in Opera 12.17 it works if you exit (log out), but in IE 11 does not work in any case. On my forums.
As I can see here it works in Opera 20 and IE 11, but in Opera 12.17 Recent Activity content is not visible when I logged in, but visible when I logged out. This is the only coincidence.
I also tried FF and Chrome on my forums and in FF I cannot see recent activity, but in Chrome I can.
I cannot find explanation, maybe you can check this somehow.
The cache plugin is not involved, because I disabled it completely.

For Internet Explorer 11, open the Developer Tools menu and make sure the browser is not rendering in Internet Explorer 8 mode. If it is, you need to make sure the following is turned on in vBulletin. Settings > Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Force Latest IE Mode.
If you have a very early version of vBulletin 4, this setting won't exist, but instead there will be one asking about Internet Explorer Compatibility View. You do NOT want Compatibility View turned on.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue for you on Internet Explorer 11. I still need to figure out what is happening in Opera.

Seems that this has no effect in IE11 on my side. I tried different variations of this settings but Recent Activity is still invisible. I have cleaned cache after every change of settings.

My tests are showing that there is an encoding issue in your translation for the phrase 'vw_feed_new_activity'
One of the characters is not parsing correctly and is actually preventing tools from locating any errors on the page. It is possible that this rogue character is causing the entire issue, but I cannot even check for other errors until that is resolved.

Please re-enter the phrase 'vw_feed_new_activity' from a blank state to make sure the problem character is removed.

Fixed in the next release.

While most immediately apparent for the feed's content, this actually occurs for any wiki script that relies on AJAX transmission, because of a race condition between base.js and a dependent class. For some reason this condition only affects some versions of Internet Explorer and Opera.

Anyway, this is fixed by using base.js's built-in init subscriber, which vb3/base.js and xf/base.js weren't subscribing to, as they should have been. This led to the user token used to authenticate POST requests to be empty during some AJAX requests.
