Problems arising from change of forum to HTTPS
pwhodges:
SoundCloud embedding is now restored to health.

Here's the thread that with user feedback that seems to have tracked down the problem on the other site. In short, some kind of de-syncing issue with Cloudflare caused failure to maintain logins, specifically to Scandinavia, and the admin (Rawhide) finally had to stop using the service to resolve the problem.

Doesn't sound like what's going on here, but hopefully it provides an extra clue or 2 to help figure things out.

Who is responsible for Java? Why, Oracle! What is the present version? 7, of course, with 8 in the wings! They are actually continuing to produce updates of Java 6 even though the public can't get them. The last published build of Java 6 was something like 39, I think; I'm currently on 83!

The client I support actually had a machine with an... interesting... problem. I had a user that needed to use something that required Java 6, and I think it was 6u45 that was the latest my client offered in their software repository. However, 6u45 was old enough that it refused to run web-based applets. Now, at the time, the enterprise standard for my client was 7u40, but it wasn't compatible with the applet in question. The solution? Uninstall all Java on the system, install 6u45, install 7u40, and then go into 7u40's control panel and disable it, forcing the use of 6u45. Then, the security checking was 7u40's, not 6u45's, and it wouldn't refuse to run (instead just presenting a warning), but 6u45 actually ran the applet.
I'm not proud.
Also, it's worth noting that the default Java on Mac OS X is 6u65, as of 10.9.5 (I don't update to new OS X minor releases until 10.x.1), but 7u67 is also installed on my machine. Makes for some real fun when trying to use Minecraft mods, because Minecraft defaults to using the default Java, unless you tell it otherwise in the launcher.

As of Thursday Oct 23 afternoon EDT, I still could not log in from home, in chrome or IE. Forgot to try mozilla last night. I will also try other PCs including a mac on the same lan just to check, though.

Oh man, forgot about this this weekend. Will continue to gather data, tonight hopefully.
