do I need jquery.easing?

[investments]

I found this in the wrapper code. What's it for, can safely remove it?

<script type="text/javascript" src="skins/{$skin_name}/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>

its for "easing" animations, you can remove it if you like but its a tiny file with no ill consequences I am aware of.

The reason I became aware of it is because I'm getting this error when I check the site with developers tools:

Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined jquery.easing.1.3.js:1

thanks for that report, we'll make sure this is fixed up

I've removed the script for now but I'll add it back in once fixed if it will help with my site in any way.

Just a headup. That is not in default parabola, nor our bootstrap theme. It was used a long time ago if memory serves right, but not anymore

So i guess you use a really old skin, can that be? or a custom skin?
Either way, if you have that line, this error is either caused by
1) you have the easing file placed before the jquery core file in html ( jquery must be first )
2) that is indeed from an old theme, but you use newer jquery core which might be incompatible with that plugin

But usually it is #1

I've removed it now I do believe you may be correct about it being #1.
