I hope you will include a txt file which is for upgrade and for ppl who have installed beta 1, so we don't need to uninstall and re install it again..

ok futureal, i PMmed you my security settings...

as for "Do you have anything odd in terms of a net connection, like a robust firewall, internet connection sharing or anything of that sort?"

No, no and.. no.

I've got a cable modem. nothing shared. just me :)

Cacheing options are as follows:
Every time you start Internet Explorer

250mb.

*** results of beta pacman test ***

http://www.afterblur.com/vb/proarcad...heKiller=26170

That was the url i got after i played... Sent me to the Pacman scoreboard afterwards. No comment submission screen.

Update... did a clean install of flash (i figured out how to uninstall it)... didn't work :(

Man, how frustrating is all of this. lol...

But in the end i guess this could solve the problem for all the helpless users.

I looked everything over, and my only suggestion is to try changing your cache settings to "Automatic," restarting the browser, and giving it another shot.

Other than that, everything seems to match my system perfectly.

I have a conversion script that will covert the database tables to be compatible with the new ones, but that will be it.

It will be up to users to make sure that the necessary code changes are made. Most of the changes are in the pro*.php files which can just be replaced, but there are others.

Also, the best option will be to remove the old templates and re-add the new (Beta 2) templates, since nearly every one has changed (with a few removed and a bunch added).

I will make it as painless as possible BUT it may be somewhat complicated.

:(

Still didn't work.

This is maddening...

Yea... I've got to say, I'm out of ideas. I tried setting my browser up just like yours, and it worked fine. I am behind a firewall and everything too, and it works OK for me...

/me bangs his head against the desk.

dammit.

Can the way that the flash games transmit the data be changed to a different method? Is that possible, is what i mean. If it is, i'll screw with it myself, i'd just need the fla's for the games...

This is an amazing hack and it seems to work perfect for most of my 700 users but vbulletin has been emailing me about sql errors.

Like this

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.6:

Invalid SQL: SELECT sessionhash,userid,host,useragent,styleid FROM session WHERE lastactivity>1032214124 AND sessionhash='de0056fe406cbbd965a806bbd71f3dde' AND (host='198.81.26.175' OR (althash='' AND althash<>'')) AND useragent='Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 7.0; Window'
mysql error: Unknown column 'althash' in 'where clause'

mysql error number: 1054

and

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.7:

Invalid SQL: SELECT max(score) as maxscore FROM arcade WHERE game='pacman' AND username='TL's De La Hoya'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 's De La Hoya'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

Sorry if this question has been asked ive only read 15 of the 27 pages of this thread so far.

Any help is appreciated - great hack
