The chat box at the bottom of the screen won't work and I downloaded the latest version of the java plug in. Please help
Try downloading an earlier version of Java <a href="http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html" target="_blank"> here</a>. If you downloaded 5.0, try installing 1.4.2 or 1.4.1. If that doesn't work, maybe you're behind a firewall that blocks the chat port.
Hm, well, so much for remembering to switch on HTML.

InebriatedArsonist, that info is outdated. The latest 1.5.0 is perfectly fine, and the problems in earlier 1.5.0 versions are unrelated to whatever problems yokama has.
Yokama, please provide a little bit more detail, such as what Operating System you are using, what browser, what Java plugin you've downloaded (the official Sun one or Microsoft's attempt at a Java plugin), exactly what version (Sun doesn't release their versions in a logical order, so "latest" can mean different things).
I assume that "downloaded" also implies that you did install it?
"won't work": is it just grey, or is there an error message?
If you are using a Mozilla/Netscape based browser, does visiting the page 'about:plugins' show the Java plugin?
You did read FAQs->Chat?

"The latest 1.5.0 is perfectly fine, and the problems in earlier 1.5.0 versions"
why on earth are there multiple 1.5.0 versions? who at Sun's bright idea was that?
