We are fixing this issue asap, until then you can play using another browser.

Thank you for your patience.

I have same problem too on IE.
So I am now using Mozilla and it works fine.

Use Chrome,,,,,  ie wont be fixed..   soon if ever

@streamline I appreciate the help, but I have spent hours uninstalling and reinstalling all my Java programs. I have done everything regarding FlyorDie FAQ towards Java. This is getting frustrating not only for me, but I can also see for others. Could you please mention something to the Operator / Flyordie so they can fix this problem, as it is FOD website's malfunctions, not Java's. 
Regards, Trout.

alright well at least thanks for trying to help, it is very frustrating, but nothing is working, hopefully this goes away within the next few days:(

What is the problem with Java then?

Why does it not work for FOD?

Btw, nothing is working here. I'll try tomorrow.

Yes me too....any other suggestions on how I can try to fix it

I didn't update it through FlyOrDie I updated it from

http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

I un-installed and re-installed everything Java on my computer, FOD still says I need to update Java to play....:(
