I had updated Java again a few days ago and once again it was outdated. This is Java (not auctiva) constantly updating. I realize it is for protection but it is a big reason i so intensely dislike programs that use it. within 24 hours of updating some of my news articles were unable to display java unless i clicked on plug in stuff.
