Oekaki/Java problems & solutions

[Desmond]

When you guys are adding CS to the exception list, are you including the http:// bit? I'd imagine just putting http://www.chickensmoothie.com won't really do much. ^^; You need the prefix thing. And try restarting your browser.

If you all are putting it in... well, I'm looking into it as much as I can. ^^;

I posted not to long ago about this and there was no answer for the problem, Every time I attempt to run the Java Plug in, it crashes my entire Foxfire or makes it hang (freeze Up) but I can close it with the X button. This happens on every Browser I have. But it also wil do this when I run anything that runs the Java Applet. I'm getting really frustrated about it, there are so many things on the oekaki I want to do and it seems Java screws things up every time it updates, lol.

Have you tried uninstalling/redownloading/reinstalling Java?
Sounds like the updates are breaking the older versions. It happens.

@Bentley; I included the http:// part when I added it and that didn't change things. ^^;
Thank you for trying to find a solution for us! What do you mean by "breaking older versions"? I installed Java for the first time on a relatively new laptop just two weeks ago and it's having these issues.

I updated java and in the exceptions list put the url

Code: Select all

http://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/painting.php?f=30&mode=post

It now works fine.

Hm, thanks for that! I'll take note that it's not the issue and see if I (or Draca) can come up with something else. :3
Newer versions of Java sometimes interfere with/are interfered by older versions of Java - that is, the stuff that made up Java before it was updated. ^^;

That'll work for posting in the Beginner's Oekaki, yes (the board ID for that area is 30). ^^;

!! Just found this!

If the path ends with a slash (/), for example, https://www.example.com/apps/, RIAs in that directory and any subdirectory are allowed to run. If the path does not end with a slash, for example, http://www.example.com/test/applet.html, only that specific RIA is allowed to run.

Maybe... can someone try adding the slash to the end of the URL, if it's not there?

Yeah, I have tried that Multiple times. Even my parents that are experienced in Computer software and such can't figure it out. They tell me to Reformat it but I dont want to do that if I dont have to.

If someone with the security issue would please try this, it'd be a huge help, because then we'll know if it's just that or not.

Please, guys, we know the security issue's a thing, please help us figure out how to fix it.
