Am I they only one having problems with the applet not starting? I checked a few bravenet & non-bravenet member sites & could not view theirs. I thought it was a "java enable" issue in my browser, but I can view java games ok.
It could still be a Java issue, you may have the wrong version of Java installed. You could be using an old version of the MS Virtual Machine... upgrade to the latest Sun-Java version and you wont have any problems.
