Why lbccvikings.com Says "JavaScript Is Disabled" — And How to Fix It
Updated
lbccvikings.com shows the message "JavaScript is disabled" because the site uses a bot-verification check that requires JavaScript to run. When your browser has JavaScript turned off (or blocked), that check can't complete, so the page stops you with: "In order to continue, we need to verify that you're not a robot. This requires JavaScript. Enable JavaScript and then reload the page." The fix is to enable JavaScript for the site, then reload. If it still fails, try another browser or device.
What the message actually means
The page you're seeing isn't the real Long Beach City College content — it's a gate. The site's verification system needs to run a script in your browser to confirm you're a real visitor rather than an automated bot. Without JavaScript, that script never runs, so the gate stays closed.
This is a normal security measure, not an error on your end and not a sign the site is down.
How to enable JavaScript
JavaScript is on by default in most browsers, so this usually means it was disabled manually or blocked by an extension. Here's how to turn it back on.
Google Chrome (desktop)
- Open Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → JavaScript.
- Select Sites can use JavaScript.
- Reload lbccvikings.com.
Microsoft Edge (desktop)
- Go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → JavaScript.
- Turn the toggle on (Allowed).
- Reload the page.
Firefox (desktop)
- Type
about:configin the address bar and accept the warning. - Search for
javascript.enabled. - Set it to true.
- Reload the page.
Safari (macOS)
- Open Safari → Settings → Security.
- Check Enable JavaScript.
- Reload the page.
Mobile browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
JavaScript is enabled by default on mobile and generally can't be toggled off in the app settings. If you're seeing this message on a phone, the cause is more likely a content blocker, an aggressive privacy setting, or a browser extension — see the next section.
After enabling JavaScript
Reload the page. In most browsers you can press Ctrl + R (Windows) or Cmd + R (Mac), or tap the reload icon. The verification check should run and the page should load normally.
If the message reappears immediately, the setting didn't take effect — confirm you changed it for the right browser profile, then try again.
If it still doesn't work
Work through these in order:
- Check extensions and content blockers. Ad blockers, privacy extensions, and script blockers (like NoScript) can block JavaScript even when the browser setting is on. Disable them for this site or pause them temporarily.
- Try a private/incognito window. This loads the page without most extensions. If it works there, an extension is the culprit.
- Try a different browser. If Chrome fails, test Edge, Firefox, or Safari. A working browser confirms the problem is browser-specific.
- Try a different device. A phone on cellular data bypasses both your desktop browser and your home network, which helps rule out network-level filtering.
- Check your network. Some school, workplace, or public Wi-Fi networks block scripts or require a login. Switching to another network can resolve it.
- Clear cache and cookies for the site. Stale data can interfere with the verification step.

The short version
The "JavaScript is disabled" message on lbccvikings.com is a bot-verification gate, not a broken site. Enable JavaScript in your browser settings, reload the page, and it should pass. If it doesn't, the cause is almost always an extension, a content blocker, or a restrictive network — and switching browsers, devices, or networks will tell you which.
