i have had issues with java for a few years now including our own java version of chat.

i was having issues with new security settings so i had to do the following: (this is windows based)

go to start
programs
java
configure java
on the security tab
click edit site list
click add
enter the website with http or https (i entered http://www.realitytvlounge.com and https://www.realitytvlounge.com just to cover out chat) *****ONLY ENTER SITES YOU KNOW YOU CAN TRUST*****
click add again
then click ok and ok
then try to use it (may need to close and reopen the browser)
you may also have some prompts before the java program works (i had some firewall prompts) again only use this for sites you trust


hope this helps anyone else not able to get in with java chat. if this seems too unsafe for you try mirc on computers or if using android try androirc. we have instructions for setting up both in the chat help forum here:
