Grr. Arg. Stupid Java.

I'm getting the following error when logging into the Apterous game:

I'm using Java 1.6.0_12 - any ideas what I can do?

It's not working for anyone ATM, Kevin. Not since 7:43pm last night.
Always a good idea to check 'today's games' when you have a problem, then you know if it's apterous as a whole, or if you've got a personal connection problem.

Having said that, I've been having personal connection problems more frequently over the last 2 or 3 weeks, even with lite mode. Coming back to it after an hour or so usually resolves things.

BTW, we've been drawn together in the Coma Plate. How does Monday or Tuesday evening approx 5pm or 6pm sound to you?
Most evenings are OK for me, preferably not too late on, unless that's all you can manage.

Thanks for the advice, Julie. Working OK now. And I'm normally on a little later in the evenings due to work...probably 7 or 8.

I'll try to log on about 7 or 8 on Monday, then, to see if you're available to play our game. If not, Tues.

Monday - finishing early...but may be out with g/f. I'm I'm not there by 7, I'm not there till late.
