What the hell is anybody doing about this crap we're having to put up with???

nick, admin or mods?????

I need a light at the end of the tunnel as I'm sure a lot of regular funkypool users do too.

Site is gonna be Tayty Bread me thinks

Incredibly frustrating. I don't take kindly to having to roll my software back to inferior versions


On a side note, is anybody else having problems with java window constantly crashing? I installed some Windows automatic updates last night so not sure if that's got anything to do with it.

The game is most likely written using the java computer programming language & javascript. If you didn't have the option to update or roll back to older versions then you wouldn't be able to play the game at all.

The latest version of java version 8 update 45 onwards has different security parameters from version 7.

Calling the older versions 'inferior' is a little strange as they are the executable ones which has either been patched up or made more bug free. Hence they work now with the Version 8 issue.

Java is updated every so many months and usually all have an expiry date. The problem or catastrophic scenario will be when the version 7 become obsolete and do not work. The positive could be that that will never happen plus Version 8 update 31 works too (phew). Just remember when it prompts you to update click on LATER every time.

Games are written in a few different programming languages, used to be VB (Visual Basic) May have used it when in college on the old Nimbus pc's. Nowadays more C++.

I'd like to see this game written in C++ just out of curiosity



Others: javascript, SQL (used for locating data from large databases), Objective-C (apps for the i0S), C# Primary language for Microsoft platforms and Services.

You can download the updated version for Java 7 Update 79 I believe it is now on the above link. (follow the windows online section).

* ignore prompts to update afterwards.

Not surprised when update 79 is available lol

He's on the case behind the scenes if that's anything to go by.

He has not been on in weeks..so how old is that post?

4 months old

The biggest problem is with new people in ming to the site and not being able to play, thus leaving never to return.

I'm calling the pool police if Nick doesn't make an appearance soon!

Sorry it's had to come to this.

got to say, any new member looking at site and cant log in
is truly not good for anyone

This needs sorting as a matter of urgency

Old Java stopped working today. No alternative but to try new version. Now dead.


Mac OSX 10.10.4
Java 8 v51

OK chaps, just figured out how to get Java 7 v80 running in Safari again. This is definitely the smoothest way to play the game. Forget Firefox or Chrome.

Uninstall new Java using the following command in terminal:

sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

Download Java 7 v 80 from Oracle site and install

Go to Safari prefs and on security tab click "Website Settings" (bottom one)

on left hand side list click on Java, and on right hand side set www.funkypool.com to "always allow"

Job done

Ill past that to my mate, rapid_pot as he can't get on with a Mac or Safari but can log in as a guest

why not just IE it works and is quicker than normal

I've heard IE is the worst browser and sometimes slow so will stick to Opera and Adam likes Safari
