December 2014 - problems running java applets

The recent JAVA updates have brought in security changes that don't allow some java applet scripts to run, even with permission. This is from the Java website:

Starting with Java 7 Update 51, applets that do not conform with the latest security practices can still be authorized to run by including the sites that host them to the Exception Site List.

Starting with Java 8 Update 20, the Medium security level has been removed from the Java Control Panel. Only High and Very High levels are available.

The exception site list provides users with the option of allowing the same applets that would have been allowed by selecting the Medium option but on a site-by-site basis therefore minimizing the risk of using more permissive settings.

 

*December 2013 - No New Year fireworks this year :-(
I'm tring to find another way to do the New Year fireworks but I've run out of time for New Year's Eve 2014.

The older fireworks pages may or may not work. It depends on when your JAVA updated. Hopefully, the slideshows will continue to work.

Other news:

Lots of tweaking happening. The laptop with the working copy of Donkeys.ie died suddenly and we have had to start again on a new laptop, different operating system and with back-up copies of the files. We apologise if any pages, information or images are not displaying properly, or if something is missing.


*Problems will be corrected as soon as we find them*

If you find anything, such as a missing link or image, please tell us!

Problems can be reported at donkeys.ie@gmail.com
