Look at the JavaScript console, it gives an error while trying to load 
the page already

Error: missing ( before formal parameters
Source File: http://www.skisport.ru/forum/view.php?subj=36417
Line: 204, Column: 9
Source Code:
function goto(where) {

So that script block tries to define a function named 'goto' which is a 
reserved word in ECMAScript and that causes an error so that the 
function definition for 'reply' that follows is not processed.

You need to to change the code in that page so that the word 'goto' is 
not used.
