When I use Firefox, Java is throwing a Socket Access Control Exception, which basically means that the server won't let the ShiPainter animation viewer read the file (through a socket connection).  When I use Opera, most of the ShiPainter animations will work, but some won't.

I'm afraid this is a similar problem to the SocketPermission() errors other people have been getting with the paint programs.  This has been traced to a bug in Java and supposedly a fix is in the works.  When the fixed version of Java will be available is anyone's guess.

This affects some servers and not others, due to the security profile used on the server.  You're one of the unlucky ones, I'm afraid.

If people are having trouble drawing with the applets, using a different web browser can help.  Firefox is prone to this issue, IE and Opera aren't affected as badly, or at all.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but Java is kind of a pain at times.

Also, I've been trying to share cookies with more than one Wacintaki board

The problem with the cookie path override is that if someone else has an oekaki on the server, you want to make sure that other person's board can't read cookies for your board.  So, there's a number of different settings you can use.

Since you have a subdomain (the "lawlsuit" part of "lawlsuite.free-site-host.com"), you'll want to enable cookies for that entire subdomain, but no others.  You'll also have to change the path so all subfolders are included, as well.  Change it to the following:

    // PATH
    {
        // Failsafe, or disable (default)
        // $cookie_path = '';

        // For the whole server (be careful!) or subdomain (OK).
        $cookie_path = '/';

        // Shared server that uses accounts (not subdomains).  Folders are CaSe SeNsItIvE!
        // $cookie_path = '/AccountName/';
    }

    // DOMAIN
    {
        // Failsafe, or disable (default)
        // $cookie_domain = '';

        // For the "lawlsuit" subdomain
        $cookie_domain = 'lawlsuit.free-site-host.com';

        // For every subdomain.  Keep the period at the front for maximum compatibility.
        // $cookie_domain = '.myserver.com';
     }

This is the most secure setting.  If you have trouble, you can try changing the DOMAIN part back to its default setting.

Make sure each oekaki you install has the same hacks.php file.
