Yes, unlicensed members can download your games this way.

Because I feel better about mailing out email notifications for new batches of games there, I don't think people would appreciate it on here as games are only *optional* parts of the Arcade.

Unlicensed members can download those games, but the games aren't hacks themselves - and they don't do much without the Arcade, which can only be downloaded by licensed users.

And thirdly (and probably most obviously), it's to get people to sign up on the Arcade site - mainly because I'm going to need a lot of people to test the next release, which works best on a site where people are actually visiting. :)

That's what happens when you use silly programs for the simple things, use Editplus next time, far easier and it's the first program I install when I format.

I've just restored my database because of being hacked, now when I access arcade.php? it shows I dont have permission T_T, how come ? Yet the permission is till fine in ACP. what do I have to do ?
before that there's nothing wrong with Arcade. Actually when install Arcade it didn't install templates for all styles so I've only jad to run the install file with the first step to make the templates of Arcade for others styles.

I've searched this thread and skim read it but I cant find this specific problem. Too much complaining about submit buttons and the like have make it tricky!

I wondered if anyone can help.

Some users are getting high scores in various games (so it's not game specific is what I'm highlighting here) and they cant submit there score. I'm guessing (as it takes a long time to get these scores) they're somehow timing out.

Could anyone offer a solution, or point me to where it's already been posted if it has already?

Thank you.

Just to add it's now happened to me too.

You get the vBulletin "no permission" error.

This is usually caused by a slow server or internet connection. A lot of my modem users reported this before I increased the bandwidth allowance on my local server.

It's happening to broadband users (myself included) from the USA, and from the UK (the server is in the USA). There's no bandwidth issues as far as the server is concerned either, and it happens at quiet as well as busy times.

The only pattern is it seems to happen when people are getting high(er) scores, so they've been on the flash game page for longer than average.

The problem mentioned above occured at my forum to ("no permission"), perhaps it has something todo with the new patched files?

yes. it IS to do with the new patch files. I can say that 99.9% sure!!!

I was playing all my games fine, then irealised the new patches, and uploaded...now it dont work. I tried installing an entire new board, which i could then just simply whack my skins and database onto, ... same error!

its the new files. anyone got a fix?
