Oekaki/Java problems & solutions

[Simon]

Whenever I press the pen down for more than a slight second, a circle appears where I was pressing and switches the color to white.
I don't know if this is supposed to happen or..? It doesn't do this on any other programs, and it does it on both my laptop and my computer. (I'm using firefox and a Huion tablet)

Are you sure you aren't holding down any buttons on your tablet pen? I know on my tablet there is a button that when when pressed makes a circle and picks up the color you are on. That might be the issue.

Ok!
So I'm not sure if this counts as a problem, but I do need help
I have seen some oekaki, that when you edit it, it turns sideways.
I use a mouse so its extremely hard for me to work sideways.
Does anyone know how to make it turn?

Rotate Canvas:
This is used for rotating your canvas freely to different angles so that you can draw at whatever angle you like. This is helpful if you plan on drawing something hanging upside down, in example. To rotate, left-click hold and move your mouse to move the canvas. No matter what angle you draw at, however, all saved oekakis will be posted at the same horizontal position you started at, which is important to remember for when you post. Double-clicking on the Rotate Canvas icon will set your canvas back to its original position.

I just read that Firefox is going to stop supporting Java soon, and that's very concerning to me. What is going to happen with Oekaki? I absolutely cannot use Internet Explorer, not just because it is horrifically slow and obnoxious, but because I am using Windows 10, and I only have access to Microsoft Edge (Which is slower than FireFox, but... I may use it if I really need to.)

In this case, what should I do, and what will happen with Oekaki?

Microsoft Edge

I couldn't use Oekaki on Microsoft Edge, I had to install Firefox.


-----------------
I am able to draw on the Oekaki, it is letting me save, but it is not letting me post it. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or not. DX

What happens when you try to post it?

Just a quick note:

Simon will now be running this thread. My admin assistant duties take up a lot of my time and I feel that Simon is much more of a help than I have been this past year.

You can still continue to post on this thread or send in help tickets, nothing has changed about that. (:

I've heard this too but I think it would be best to try and deal with that situation if and when that actually happens. There might be some other browsers that we could potentially use.
