thanks Oblivion Knight for setup of challenges, should be included in manual as well :)

He can install it on his own test forum if he's doing that...it shouldn't take him one or two weeks to install it or not many people will be using this new version... :lol:

Oh dear this doesn't look good for v3Arcade.

Unless something dramatic has happened, I have a nasty suspicion John has gotten fed up with all the +++++ing (again) and pulled the plug (again).

I might be wrong, but closing the site 'for a week or two' seems unneccessary. I think we will be stuck with what we've got (which is actually fine by me, it's great) for the forseeable future.

I hate when you get to the edge of that game then he just falls over. :(

I had a problem with vb logging users out if they played a game for a long time. I fixed this by increasing the cookie time to something like 3 hours. The problem is, this throws things like new posts, who's online, and some other things off. Can you prevent someone from being logged out while playing a game without doing this?

Yeah, tell them to check the box that says "Remember me" when they log in.

You're welcome.. :)


You're right, it doesn't.. Things at v3arcade.com have been on a bit of a downward slope again for a while; limited support, delayed updates and no clear indication of the product's future. Last night, I took the decision to resign from my staff position at the support forums due to numerous different reasons..

I will however, continue supporting my addons for v3arcade here at vbulletin.org, and I hope to continue contributing with the occasional support query and/or addon request.. No doubt John will make a couple of decisions during this "out time", and I wish him good luck for the future.

Do you have permission to re-distribute those files from the author?

If not, then please remove them. Thank you.

I hope that's not true, because then I won't be able to suppress the urge to want to *****slap the idiots who complain when they have absolutely no right to, because then they'll have ruined it for the rest of us.

It's happened before, but last time it was more to do with game copyright, although there were again some issues with people over missed deadlines.

Then John closed the site, but several months later reopened it to release the 3.5 version of the arcade. Now it's gone again, who knows if he'll be back this time. Perhaps he's just had enough.

I do get the feeling that periodically he gets "inspired", updates the arcade, but then when it starts to feel like a chore again and people are pressuring him he loses interest, I can understand that if it is indeed the case.
