Yeah, super annoying right? It's Oracle!!

... In other news, if you download Firefox, you're in. <3

Downloading Firefox now, fingers crossed that it works for me. :x:

Nope, still can't access chat with Firefox. I'm still missing the plug-in, even with the Firefox browser.

Any other ideas?

Downloaded firefox, still does not work.

Problem persists: I'm back to being locked out of the chat, and finally, here seems to be the reason why: http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Apple-blocks-Java-in-the-browser-again-1796452.html

TL;DR version: Java is unstable and potentially not secure for some browsers including Safari and Firefox, Chrome doesn't seem to have an issue. Allegedly, Oracle is working on a fix. Allegedly.

So if you're on a Mac, here's (potentially) your culprit.

You need to get Java 7 Update 13, go to your Java CP update tab.
I reopened the (Safari) browser, still said no. I had to restart my computer and messed about a bit but it's working now!
Give me a shout if it doesn't work for you

Yes! It worked! But for how long...

Probably until another security flaw is found :lol:
