@googl3r: with the current version? Are you willing to share some details or forward them to the coder?

If your using V2 games they are prone to the highscore hack.Simply use V32 although they are not totally secured against the hack,your everyday cheater won't get passed it.

One of two things.

1.You don't have enough memory to install the amount of games in one go.Take alook at your max_file_size,max memory_limit and try installing games in smaller batches.

2. You have a corrupted game/games that won't install.You have to install one game at a time until you find the culprit and delete it.Make sure it is deleted off your server,or you'll get it back when you come to upload/install more games.

Can anyone direct me to were the post is for adding "Play Game in new window"...As below.

Thanks - Installed!

I've removed the arcade system from all my forums. It's just not secure enough. I lost quite a bit of traffic and Adsense revenue the last month due to it.

I can't have that happen again just for the sake of getting members to play the odd game on the forums.

I just thought I'd let you guys know so you could check your forums if you're running it.

@googl3r, could you explain in more detail please. What has happened exactly? If there is a security flaw you should explain it so everyone is warned. A general "it is not secure" for sure does not help anyone. So please let us all know. Thank you!

I wouldn't want to post full details online. It was more to get the developer (who I've PM'd also) to check what's going on with it.

PM me your email address and I'll send you some details we've obtained about this possible flaw.

Though the basics of it was there was a redirect being added to the forum which meant traffic coming from search engines was being directed to a dodgy URL with spam, malware, and ads and pop-ups all over it. This affected upto 25% of traffic from search engines on one forum hosted on one server, and even affected several forums hosted on another server using different security software and a slightly different setup. So I'm guessing whoever/whatever has found this flaw, can find all forums with the flaw.

Not saying it's all arcades that will be affected here, but certainly all mine running the arcades had been effectively hacked and redirection code injected. Took a while to find out what the cause of it was too!

I have my host(s), vbulletin, and vbseo all suggesting fixes and monitoring the servers / sites now to make sure we have actually locked the rest down now we've removed it.
