Oekaki/Java problems & solutions

@broski.
This may be the solution for your problem: c;

“It keeps giving me the "application blocked by security settings" error”

There has recently (15th of January) been an update. Update 7.51. And apparently it's causing some issues.

I suggest to get the update anyway, as older versions have security risks.

http://java.com/en/
- Get the update and install.

Windows 7
- Click on Start
- Go to your Control Panel and search for Java in the search bar.
- Open up the Java Control Panel (it might be listed as Java 32 bit or Configure Java)
- Go to the Security tab
- On the Security tab, you will see a white box that says Exception Site List. Next to it is a button with Edit Site List
- Click on Edit Site List, click on Add, then add http://www.chickensmoothie.com/ to the list.
- It might give you an error message, but seeing as CS is a secure site you can ignore it for now.
- Choose Apply and then OK and refresh your browser
- Try the Oekaki again

- If there is no Exception Site List box, simply turn the slider down to Medium. That should fix it as well.

- Here is a visual guide provided by nova;;

Windows 8
- Go to your control panel (windows key + X, then to your control panel)
- Use the search bar in the top right corner of the window and type in 'Java'
- Open up the Java control panel (it's listed as Configure Java)
- On the Security tab, you will see a white box that says Exception Site List. Next to it is a button with Edit Site List
- Click on Edit Site List, click on Add, then add http://www.chickensmoothie.com/ to the list.
- It may give you an error message, but seeing as CS is a secure site you can ignore it for now.
- Choose Apply and then OK and refresh your browser
- Try the Oekaki again

Mac OS X
- Type in Java in the search bar
- Open up the Java Preferences
- Go to the Security tab
- Put the slider on Medium and save the settings

If you do not see the Exception Site List option, uninstall every version of Java and reinstall the latest version from the website. It's entirely possible that older versions are preventing you from seeing the newer options.

Alright, thank you Draca.

I have windows 7

I've heard of it freezing a lot for Mac, but not for Win 7. Odd.
Could you try to clear the Java cache specifically?

Something I find unusual is that whenever I use Oekaki (I don't have a mac, I have a Windows 7 I believe, but it's old)
It always freezes and I have to refresh the page when the little smoothie is being drained. Sometimes it feels like forever before it finally works. Is this what always happens?

That might be due to connection issues. See if your internet connection is stable, or quickly reboot your router.

First page, 8th answer. It explains how to bypass the error.

Switch to another browser. See if that helps.

It's not really an Oekaki issue. Try to use a cable to connect to the internet rather than wireless. Although if your computer is generally slow, then it might be because of that too. It's not something I can really help you with. :c
