Well, I'm used to clicking the little icon for quick reply, and here at vB.org, that automatically ticks the 'Quote message in reply?' button, so it was quoted. :)

Which isn't a bad thing ;)

Just my little view regarding users just using the arcade section of forums and nothing else.

I know for some it may be a problem when all your bandwidth is being gobled up by people who don't use your forum for anything else, but surely having more bodies on your forum in the first places is going to encourage more users, which in turn will gradually get you more people posting anyway. Nobody likes to see a forum with no users on it.

The way I look at it is, that at least they are on my website, no matter what they are doing, at least I have them, when they could quite easily be somewhere else (there's enough choices out there). My CPM banners take care of the cost of bandwidth with them, so I don't see it as a problem. If someone doesn't want to write posts in the first place, forcing them to do so in order for them to get to the only thing they want, is only going to get more useless spam posts on the forum in my opinion just so they can reach the required amout. At the end of the day, the arcade is only going to hold so much interest for any user, after that they are more than likely going to explore a website they've been using for a while anyway, but if you've restricted them, the chances are they may just leave and never come back, because they are likely to think there will be more restrictions like that and that it's not worth it.

Anyway, just my view on it, which may not even be valid for certain other website set ups.

John, is there a way to add Arcade status in forumhome like. total games, newest champions( choose how much to display in ACP) , Best scorce of all games ( in which games ),avatar of the newest champion and a link to challenge him in that game....
this would call more users to play Arcade ^ ^

lol, same here.

Hi

I'm new to vBulletin and v3 Arcade. I installed Candidate Release 3 (the only one offered when I registered). Anyway the first thing I did was install v3 arcade. Everything went well and I was like the preverbial pig in **** on my work PC (Win 2000 and Explorer 5).

People were mentioning that they couldn't get to the arcade as they were'nt a registered member. This seemed to be like the problem posted earlier by Cheeky however the file you suggested to correct (global.php) was already OK.

This problem seems to be a third party cookie issue (someone told me that, I don't know)

Can anyone shed any light on this? Is it a vBulletin thing? Is it just a general problem that users would have to set a very low privacy rating on their browser?

thanks

Dazed and Confused

Have you tried the obvious?

1. Making sure the forum permissions are set correct for the relevent user groups in your admin cp?
2. The actual arcade settings?

veiled, all walk very well except only one thing, when a person refuses a Challenge, instead of having the normal redirection, that opens a white page to me, I have to look in the file "arcade.php" what not to go not, I do not have anything to find. :(

If a charitable heart pouver to throw there a glance, that will help me much, thank you has him :)

Just a quick suggestion:

When you're playing a game and click on "high scores," I think it should open in a new window by default. I've had a couple of people playing games, then clicking to see what the second place score is, only to be kicked out of the game.

has anyone else had memebers complain that sometimes they cannot submit comments?
