I don't know if this forum is appropriate for help with bugs and troubleshooting, but I haven't seen any other (possibly my own failure to look) and the official forums are down right now, so here I am. Sorry if it's in the wrong place.

Anyways, this morning when I tried to connect to a server, I got:

"An error occurred while loading the applet.
Please contact support to resolve this issue.
Fatal error occurred (7) : com.mojang.minecraft.MinecraftApplet"

I don't know if anyone else here has fixed or even encountered this problem, but I wanted to give it a shot anyways.

So, uh, can anyone lend a hand?
