Fixed Lascaux Sketch's language support. (Setting worked and saved, but didn't actually do anything.)
Fixed a bug where switching an image to finished in the comment submission after revising an image didn't update the image as it does when you do it in edit.
Fixed a bug related to pinned entries being pinned on the 'latest' board.
Added possible fix to applet being extremely thin. Same fix should now restrict the width of the applet from being no narrower than the "ideal" width.
Fixed asciiart allowing HTML codes (and screwing up < and > characters legitimately used for the ascii).

concern with the tutorials though. When not being able to draw on the board because lack of java a notice came up to go look at some tutorial. well three hours of searching for the darn thing and it was never found. Add links to error pages for heaven's sake!

i sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo agree

fairy uni, are you having current problems with this issue?

This thread was posted close to 5 years ago and the last post was over 4 years ago, so unless you're having that same problem right now it's really not necessary to bump this thread...

(this is the email i sent to my computer repairman, a new guy, who was SURE he could fix my java security-block-problem on art sites.I did everything he said, he "fixed" my java, cleaned the machine, and I tried to draw here AGAIN. this is the result; it is still blocking me from drawing here. the nerds can''t even fix this:)

(UPDATE: I finally got my java 8 problem fixed; the computer repair guy, older one, replaced it with java 7, take all java 8 off. IT WORKS. JAVA 8 DOES NOT WORK, all over the web, on everything; everyone went back to java 7.)

".HI, UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER I LAUNCHED ALL YOUR JAVA programs, i am having the same problem with "2draw.net" which i got security blocks from java 8, so it won't run, nothing has changed; it still has a security block on, which has"security block!!" java will not run,not good certificate!!!here is the exact link, where it once again was blocked;

(I was logged in, you can see that when you go to the page. I am dorothyblueeyes on there.) I am afraid you have not fixed the problem of java 8 on the art sites. 2draw.net, will not accept java again. you gave me these new java programs,. i installed them, and they still blocked me from making the java work. i am glad you cleaned the computer, but i wanted you to fix the java 8 so it works, MY FRIEND SAID..."JAVA PROBABLY DOES NOT WORK ON CHROME . TRY INTERNET EXPLORER AND OPERA BROWSER."Is that true? DOES JAVA ONLY WORK ON INTERNET EXPLORER??Yow!! my friend said, java only works with internet explorer or try Opera browser.

I hate to bother you, you did a great cleaning job; but the chrome browser and my java still does not work.. Have you fixed other situations like this?? This java edition has given me problems. i'll try to get internet explorer and opera, and try them. . Anyhow, sorry to bother you with the same java security block problem again. I did follow all your instructions under "N". thank you, Dorothy (name) "

(this is the 2nd computer wizard who still cannot enable java 8 on my computer, to run applets on this site,And I paid him, too. next time, if they don't fix java, i don't pay them. They repair corporation computers for a living, this one does.But he still can't fix it. so if any of you guys can solve me "security-block-java" problem, on 2draw, i should pay one of you. the experts can't do it. hah.)

only thing I can think of to try is to click on"studio:" and when that opens up top there may be a message about "unsubmitted drawings" click on that to go to the submission page? Hope it works

everytime i go to revise my image it shows up as blank???? help plz!

i cant send my java drawing to oekaki it says JAVA crashes

Oh ignore that, it's just kidding.

I get the JAVA crash screen, too and I did what Axil says and just ignored it and everything was ok.

I dunno, I seem to think the newest version of java has probs.

i never used this but i can't see anything and it shuts off my browser-- -something to do with a plulgin???? using chrome and firefox - same result

can't we do something about all the spam??

I don't think that spamming the word SPAM as a reply to every spam is the best way to handle it.. it was funny though ;D

no but then i dont have to keep seein the ads when i look at the firsat page.

Dear Marcello,

Please do something about this spam. It is seriously sucking all the fun out of 2draw and moderating it.
Kids who think they are the next Rembrandt, I can handle, but this just sucks.

Thanks!

I agree. But do what you wish Marcello.

Marcello, please kane kati me olo ayto to spam sto site..otan vreis hrono kai an einai dynaton!
Eyharistw! :)

MARCELLO DOES NOT COME HERE.

ok

Its outta control....

Marcello has added a thing to more easily delete and ban spammers. So I've been trying to visit every day/every other day. But hadn't in a while. Hopefully we will soon see the end of these bastards.

Thank you, Marcello and Joyce.

Wash your mouth out with soap.

I was sure religious people here owned this repulsive phrase, I had no idea it was worldwide..

That soap washing is a parental thing, not a religious thing :D.

Now, who has to scrub the foodtunnel with some soap?

I think it was you, Joyce..

ohhhh I'm tellllinnnnn, she said a bad word

All you girls around here have a foul mouth...

I just call it the way I see it, and honestly the way it is. Spammers are bastards. :)

Hi everyone.....Okay, it has been sometime since I've drawn in here. Today I drew two drawings and when I hit submit lost them both...they never uploaded to the site. It is very frustrating to spend time drawing and then lose them. Grrrrrr!!! Love all the talent here. Oooh, and why can't I get the float to work? It freezes up everytime I try to use it.

you must be on a mac? apple and java dont get along anymore so if you own a mac you're pretty much fucked. i cant draw on this site anymore because of it. at least for oekaki shi, which i use

Hi Karl, no I am not on a mac, but I appreciate the response. Frustrated....grrrr, each time I try to draw here Java crashes it seems. I have reloaded java, it is enabled and works fine elsewhere exept here. I use Windows and I'm not even using my drawing board so it has nothing to do with tablet. Any suggestions? I believe I tried everything suggested from the java website and all is good. Is there site issues?

ditto

Dot.. that's not very nice. Marcello created this site,, and spent a lot of time and effort maintaining it... and a large expense also!...(they don't host these places for free..)..now he is working at his career job and doesn't have the time to play around here anymore...be glad it still exists...it works for a lot of us...so there must be something your machine has running that's making things not work for you.....

Marcelo doesn't maintain this site at all. He may as well close it down, orban me, I can't use it anymore. The new Java number eight that I am forced by Oracle to use, will not let me use any of the applets here anymore! I am banned from the website! , I don't feel like being a nice person anymore.I'm in too much pain to do anything so I'm banned from the website. None of the Java as will let me come on here and give the damn fucking artwork software. And nobody could fix this son of a bitch I've been all over the web, and I use all the advise everybody gave – – none of it will work okay? I'm banned from the website from using
it!and quite frankly I don't care anymore. So if somebody bombs auricle in the meantime, I'll just applaud them. They managed to shut me down from using any of the artwork online anymore.

Well i dont know why you're forced to use Java 8.... there are numerous sites where you can download an old edition... and delete that.. Obviously many of us can still use this place..and others.. so clearly its an issue in your machine of some kind... dont blame the world... ...If you can't use this place.. then dont come and bitch and say it should be shut down... find someone who can get the shit out of your machine so you can draw someplace.

Go to your control panel double click on Java when it opens click the security tab there is a button that says edit site list click that and add http://2draw.net (also my security setting is on high not very high I dunno if that matters) Go to the general tab and where it says temporary internet files and settings click settings and clear your cache. Hopefully that helps it did for me. I get the frustration but to me this seems a bit overboard. I personally am very happy this site exists, I appreciate what work Marcello did and am happy to be a part of it. I enjoy seeing the wonderful artwork and I enjoy the people. *I forgot to add (and I'm sure you probably know this) that you have to make sure you get any old versions of Java off your computer. There should still be a page on the Java website to download the older versions. What is going on when you are trying to download the older version? Is it not offering that option at all or is it some other problem?

hello, I already did all of that. Every single bit of it! Over and over and over! So what is wrong with it? I have already done that! I have the edit site list, and I have put two draw.net on it, that is it. None of this works. I have done all of it! Every single bit of it and I e-mailed over and over to the people at Oracle and they don't want to respond to me all they do is tell me to download number eight.

MARCELLO HATES MY GUTS I ALREADY KNOW THAT.I'M JUST RETURNING THE FAVOR.WHAT DO YOU CARE, I'M THE ONE BLOCKED FROM ALL ART SITES, INCLUDING THIS, NOT YOU.








Okay, so I don't know what to do to fix this stupid thing. I'm going to have to go all out and get a better computer repair man that I have. This one does not know what to do.

It has to have it exactly as I wrote it. (I had to make sure I had it typed a certain way) What is it doing exactly? Is it popping up a security window and what does it say?

Dorothy, what makes you think Marcello, or anyone else here on this site ows you anything?

FINE, HE CAN JUST IGNORE THE FUCKING SITE, AND NEVER UPDATE THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY OF IT, NOW, DOES THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY? I HOPE IT MAKES YOU SO HAPPY.I WOULD HATE TO MAKE ANYONE UNHAPPY!! NOT ME.YOU CAN ALL SPRAY DISREGARD, AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE. THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THESE SITES, AND THE WEB; NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. OK, NOW ARE YOU HAPPY? NOW THAT YOU'VE MADE ME THE BAD GUY? GREAT. JUAST KEEP THINKING THAT, YOU'LL FEEL BETTER, WHILE I GO TAKE MORPHINE.

I'm not happy this site's dying, I'm just thankful for the times I had fun here, for the art and artists I've met, because of Marcello.. without knowing, he changed my life in a small way..

And Felistorm and Dave tried to help you, and all you did was lash out. (Read again from the top of the page and see for yourself).
So yes, I think you are the bad guy here. No one ows you shit, and if they give you some help/nice words/site even for a limited amount of time, the decent this is to say 'thank you' (or shut up and take your morphine).

I keep wondering if there is a way to revive it? I hate that people are leaving and I will probably be hanging on til the end.

just keep coming and drawing Jana.

Will def. do that :D I am so far behind on my 30 characters thing right now LOL Need to get caught up over the weekend.

NEW JAVA UPDATE DOES NOT WORK---on oekaki shi painter, 400 X 400==== everything has been tried---i had professuionals work on it, still the professionalsd can't make it stop blocking applets. ---advice needed by people who have guiven up on this site functioning.

Place works for some of us..just dont do the dang updates

I have been going to "Pencil Madness 3" web sites, very simple, pale draw software--just to scribble--no java./Also. Sketchpad 4.0 is good; I prefer our Shi-Painter Pro, but the JAVA IS CRAP NOW--- S____!YOUY KNOW.

do yoiu know, we are in a planet-wide "appliance-collapase"??it means, every appliance you buy now,computers. microwave, cuisinart blender,, stoves. FRIGIDAIRE FRIDGE!!!--YES, I BOUGHT A 700 BUCK NEW FRIDGE, AND it is like a cardboard piece of junk!! the huge long plastic slab that goes over the crispers? the big shelf?? we were washing it, and itr shattered into pieces, from washing, and hit my friend in the face!! it could have blinded her!!--buit it shattered like cheap windshield glass, that breaks into like rough pieces. I will never buy a new fridge again!! ever!!!and there's NO SUPPORT!! THEY JUST DUMP THE CUSTOMERS!!!FRIIGIDARE must be made in China, where all our junk-machinery comes from, I curse China!!!my cuisinart branD blender? it can't even puree ice!! or anything frozen!!1 "MADE IN cHINA". China would not be a great loss if some real;ly bad terrorists atom-bombed the country to pieces. no one wouyld miss it.--or miss all their junk. Talk about "capitalist-evil"!!--The Chinese learned fast, and left all their ethics and morals and craftsmanship, and real efficiency. I did try to buy "plastic nylon ear wires" as a project to sell; China made the stuff so BADLY--no one wanted to sell them,no buyers liked them. and art groups rejected them,they were such junk!! i read, all the junk-menace in the world being made, that everyone is stuck with, means the end of Ciivilization eventually.

Try to imagine a world like the one in "Idiocracy" the movie.

.. sorry for being depressing--itds junt that JUNK SOFTWARE and junk-computer companies, are a big part of technology going into the toilet. the future might be very different. --no- appliances period. ---back to my grandmas's wood stove, thar she baked food and bread in the oven.--just wood-burning fuel!!!--and that heats yer oven. wow!!! could you see us going back to THAT??-- my mom said, grandma taught her cooking---so she was a really good cook and baker. I still can't imagine she cooked beef roasts, and pork roasts, & pork steak, as a kid and teen, WE HAD MEAT!! AND WE WERE POOR most of the time. --I have not seen that much good meat, since I became an adult.(I bought very extreme "luxery steak" London broil, at Xmas, but that was a special time.But all the good meat costs a FORTUNE. MEAT is now for the very rich. sigh.

Plez, someone. hack Oracle, and poison their ware, with horrible viruses!! they really need to be destroyed eventually. talk about a hideous company!!(I am just kidding, of course.)
