              ABOUT PLUGINS: NPAPI                             AND PPAPI
   I know that this was an old past issue and that it has now been solved, but Davideo7 and others may have not told you ALL of the information.
    Davideo7 may have addressed the issue of the NPAPI plugins, but first...let me explain if you have no idea whatsoever of what I am talking about:
   Google Chrome is one of the many web browsers which allows computer users to surf the web, share in social media, and play games. A couple of months ago, Google has announced that they will be disabling a certain plugin that Vizzed uses, NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface). The Vizzed Game Plugin, uses this API system to play games in the Retro Game Room. Now, without getting TOO confusing, let me tell you about API and plugins.
Source: Wikipedia    "A plugin declares that it handles certain content types (e.g. "audio/mp3"). When the browser encounters that content type it loads the associated plugin, sets aside space within the browser context for the plugin to render and then streams data to it. The plugin is then responsible for rendering the data. The plugin runs in-place within the page, as opposed to older browsers that had to launch an external application to handle unknown content types.
   The application programming interface (API) requires each plugin to implement and expose approximately 15 functions for initializing, creating, destroying and positioning plugin content. The NPAPI also supports scripting, printing, full screen plugins, windowless plugins and content streaming." 
   Recently, NPAPI plugins can cause security risks on websites and can be unstable.  As a result, in 2013, Google made the decision to slowly start phasing out support for it. As of Chrome version 42, NPAPI is disabled by default and must be re-enabled manually to temporarily put it on until Chrome version 45 comes out in September, 2015. It is temporarily enabled for Vizzed, but when September comes, you would have to use a different browser to play in the Retro Game Room or even use Vizzed! 
   What do I think? I think that this is a stupid move for Google that will just make users of it move to another browser...
   It's back to Firefox, or...no...no...NOT INTERNET EXPLORER! Update: IE will be removed later this year!

Sauron422416 : Please don't copy/paste stuff from the internet into posts. This is not needed and really is post padding.

We understand about the plugins NPAPI and etc. We are making the proper adjustments. Just not sure if we have the money/time for development right away.

As far as these plugins go with browsers. NPAPI is very outdated. Most kids now don't know what Netscape is ;-)

Most of the internet will go this way sooner than later to close out any security risks. So get used to it.
