Using the Chat Room / Help With Java

[MistressValerie1]

The TT chat room currently requires the Java Runtime Environment on a supported browser (as of now, recent builds of Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari, but not Chrome/Chromium). You must have the latest version of JRE installed.

You may test your Java installation and find out its version here: http://javatester.org/version.html

Tool to remove outdated versions of Java: http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstallapplet.jsp

How to install Java: http://javatester.org/installing.html

A workaround to display Java content in the Chrome/Chromium browser using the IE Tab extension:

We hope this information is of help.

For those having problems with the latest Java security update, please try these member suggestions:

- Open up control panel and open up the Java control panel. (Additionally you can type Java into the search bar in the start menu and it should come up)

- Go to the security tab and change the setting to medium. (Or whatever the lowest setting is, my version says medium.)

or

There's another option:

1: Go to configure Java

2: Go to security tab

3: if you click on edit site list, you can add the location site to what you want Java to trust. (Make sure you know the name of the location like http: //client11(dot)addonchat(dot)com. )

4: Click add once you've name the location and you should be good to go.

5: If you can't add site location...uninstall and reinstall if necessary, then try again.

Depending on your configuration, the site locations to add in Step 3 above are http://www.tickletheater.com/addonchat.php and http://client11.addonchat.com

I just followed Kais approach and lowered the security settings to insanity 'cus i know what i'm doin :cool

Speaking of Java...and please pardon my ignorance on this subject...but what exactly is Java supposed to DO for your computer? Is it, like, absolutely necessary or does it give your PC too many vulnerabilities for hackers to use?

The Java you download are among other things a virtual machine on which compiled java code is run. In simpler terms, Java is a program that runs Java code. If you find you don't really use such things then you are completely fine without it, and Java is not required for most Flashbased content (such as Youtube).

Edit: Ok, so i played around with this for a little bit and found out how you can allow the chat without changing security settings.

I did that for the initial chat room address. (http://www.tickletheater.com/addonchat.php)

But then said that "the application refers to resources on multiple domains."

The jar file at: http://***** blaw..blaw.. blaw.. is a zip file!!!!

YIKES!!!

No wonder my commuter is hesitant!

You were half done. This is nothing to be alarmed about, it just means that the files for the chat are hosted elsewhere but being run here. It doesn't have to make sense. Anyway, to fix it:

• Go into Configure Java which you can find if you type java in your start menu
• Navigate to the Security tab
• Hit the "Edit website list" button (I'm not 100% what this says in english because my java settings are localized to swedish, but i think you'll get the idea)
• Add "http://www.tickletheater.com/addonchat.php" without quotation marks
• Add "http://client11.addonchat.com/current/" without quotation marks
• Hit OK and then OK again in the other window
• Enjoy!

Also in addition to these security settings it is recommended you roll back your Java apps. Latest update gave security settings that made these last options impossible to use.

https://mega.co.nz/#!7U9wBKpR!P3D_3qwUW1bryMysSvKRJ2hu7kpMrUgW-CN8grMslAc , uninstall current version to install this one, which can give access to the security settings and will still be compatible with all the same java based applications while allowing access to Theater's chat.
