Ok, try this. Go to my forum http://www.nextdictator.com/forum/index.php and login as:

Username: Testarcade
Password: test

Try and play a game in my arcade and you will see the problem.

OK, this is typically caused by the usergroup not having permission to access the arcade. Go to AdminCP | Usergroups, then select the usergroup that the user your testing belongs to, scroll down to the 'Arcade Permissions' setting and check to make sure that:

Can View the Arcade?
Allows usergroup to play arcade games

Are both set to YES.

Hmm... even on my admin account I can't play. Everything is set to yes for everyone too... I'm not sure what's going on.

What version of vB are you using? I believe there are known issues with 3.0.2 including this paticular problem, but I'm not 100%.

3.0.3

I saw someone else with 3.0.3 saying it worked fine with him. Maybe it's just me?

OK, then I don't really know. The only other thing I can think off is to check the location of your games and make sure their in the same location as originally specified.

Hmmm, I think I know the problem. I remember a while ago trying to install this arcade but I failed horribly. When I try to make the database changes during the installation I get the following error:

"Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE gamechallenges (
challengeid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
type tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
challengerid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
challengedid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
game varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',
status tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',

challengedsession int(20) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (challengeid)
) TYPE=MyISAM

mysql error: Table 'gamechallenges' already exists

mysql error number: 1050"

I know what this means, so how do I delete those old databases?

Use phpmyadmin or similar program to access your database and delete the table (backup your database first!). Alternatively if you know your SQL, then simply run the query from the vBulletin AdminCP | Import & Maintenance | Execute SQL Query.

I don't know much about SQL. When I try to Execute SQL Query it tells me I am not authorized. I used to have phpmyadmin but I had no idea what to do with it.

Do you think the SQL thing is even the problem?
