Hi folks,

Update: This is actually a good thing, because in addition to the below, they've finally made it possible for you to properly trust our applet. Details here. (If you read that, you can mostly skip the below.)

The Java police are at it again. If you update to the very latest version of Java, you'll get a very stern warning about running "unsigned" applets (like ours), and it appears that the "I understand the risk and want to run this app" checkbox only works for the duration of one session; if you close your browser and reopen it, the warning comes back.

It also says that they'll be blocking unsigned applets entirely in "a future release." Because apparently users being in control is a bad thing and Oracle (the people who provide Java) should be in control instead.

I'll sign the applet as soon as I can, which will hopefully get rid of these hassles.

Enjoy your games,

Hi,

You can always play your game, using the non-Java option.

Without any information, it's impossible to help you figure out the Java problem on your machine, if this and this don't solve it.

I guess I don't understand. Why not just sign the applet to begin with? Sounds simpler.

Didn't I say I was going to sign the applet? Signing applets is neither simple nor (frankly) free. There's not just hassle, but annual costs.

TJ - I've had that warning box since the last Java update. Each time I log in or wait more than 2-3 minutes between games, the box pops up. I have to accept "risk" then can move. As long as I am active the box doesn't come up again. If I log off or lag, it's back. I much prefer "user control" as opposed to some random entity making my choices for me.

T.J.-
Sounds like a quagmire; of which- has nothing to do with sports, religion, or merely "acceptance" of some silly site's rules- Keep strong in fighting the good fight- and thanks for all you do here. I gave up on "Java" (Oracle) last Autumn- and my games run much cleaner here-

"Just" getting rid of Java requires rewriting a large amount of code. I've done part of it, but my Real Job has to take precedence.

T.J.,I also play at another site. This site has been having this problem with the "Java Police" for over a year now.
I have gotten so disgusted with it. But, just for the sake of playing my games, I just say "I accept the risk", and go on playing. I know it is a real PAIN, but what are you going to do, when you like playing at these sites.

I agree with AM2010... I gave up some time ago, checked "non-Java enabled" in my prefs so I no longer have any probs.
