vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Scoring bug when the user has two open game windows

doubleclick · #4 12-06-2009, 07:27 AM

this is a huge problem for me. Many users have more than one window open, and as a result are submitting scores to the wrong game. It's not that they are master gamers, they are just (in my opinion) sloppy surfers.

I thought there was a code fix in this forum, but it seems to have been deleted with the recent housecleaning that took place in this mod's forum.

I give actual prizes to the winners, so this is a huge problem for me. My son has figured out how to use this bug to his advantage, and although he doesn't capitalize on it, he isn't the only teenager to visit the site. It won't take them long to figure it out.

I wish Mr.Zeropage (or maybe stangger5 ?) would address this gaping hole that allows people to cheat so easily that many do it by accident.
