i THOUGHT I HAD TO DO THAT, BUT I JUST GOT AN OLD VERSION JAVA, IT CHANGED EVERYTHING.---amazing, i guess other art sites don't like new java either.now i have to keep "ignoring update" forever.software has all gone to Hell, thank you, Bill Gates!!!---dorothyblueeyes

I've not allowed any kind of updates and mine keeps working

no, now that I am forced to download internet explorer, it locked me out of all my web mail altho I know all the info.i am sick to death of f-- computers and f--- Java, and I am going back to chicken-smoothie, they have their own paint software, and it runs on their site;they know how java was fixed. they download the new java, and then just use "chicken-paint."--their own on-site drawing-paint program. your websites have to do that cause if you rely on Oracle and Java to run the applets, they will never work, all of us get locked out.--the way I am now, I can't do a bloody thing here,or draw and paint---I've been locked out forever. --so long I forgot any passwords or user nam,es---and this f--- java here NEVER WORKS!!!NEVER WORKS, OWNER!!WHO EVER YOU ARE NOW.

oh gee is this too hard?

Yet... quite a few have found a way to make the current java work here.. go figure...
