Myr,
I'm running Java version 7, update 11 (build 1.7.0_11-b21), the latest and greatest thing out there. However when I bring up the TMF and go into the chat room, it says "Java(TM) was blocked because it is out of date." and it asks me if I want to update it (not necessary) or Run this time. I always select Run this time and it comes up normally. (I run the Chrome browser by the way, but it's the same for all the major browsers, IE, Firefox and Chrome.)
With all the recent national furor over Java, highly authoritative sources including US Homeland Security STRONGLY recommend uninstalling Jave altogether due to some serious security problems. They say it's very old technology and needs to be replaced by any website currently using Java. Surely you're aware of this issue. Oracle is scrambling to plug the Java security holes, but it's like trying to patch an old tire that is completely worn out. It just ain't gonna work.
I know you don't actually control the website software, but I hope you're in contact with the organization who does. What do they say about this? I know this is probably not a trivial fix, but this probably is gonna really bite us unless we address this issue pretty quick.
What do you think? Any sage words of advice?
Thanks!
Mike
PS, It's always somethin' isn't it?
