Why has my Java stopped working properly in the Addon Chat website?

Hi. I participate in a chat that is hosted by Addon Chats. Suddenly I cannot bring it up I get the message "Inactive Plug-in" and then it checks for "software updates" and says there are none. I don't think I have Java 7 on but I have no way to tell. I am not running lion. Just OS 10.6, so I don't think it uses that. Can anyone help me? Someone said that I needed to do something in the Terminal to some code. But I don't know what.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), also: iPod, Apple TV, iPad 2

So, is their no way to access the chat? Is there some other plugin I can use? I am one of the moderators. This happened suddenly. On Tuesday I could get in and on Thurday I could not. The chat is by AddOn: http://www.addonchat.com/ (BTW, I can still access it on my iPad, but it's very different there and too hard to navigate let along moderate.)

New information...


I just now went back to the Chat and tried to get in and when I got the notice saying java was disabled, I clicked on it and got a progress bar saying my computer was looking for a Java Updater. Adn it found one! It was called "updater 12" I installed it, rebooted my browser, and i was able to get into the Chat.... I also got this notification in the updater:



Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 12 delivers improved security, reliability, and compatibility by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_39.


On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.


Please quit any web browsers and Java applications before installing this update.
