EDIT: Uploading a screenshot so you can see it yourself.

Yep same thing for me tried 3 installs on diferent servers.
The strange thing are that on a clean install with v3arcade 1.07 and the mod from skhms to suport v32 games all the games work.

The new code for v32 games in the latest arcade ads a new cookie i think that it might be something wrong there, because cleaning tempory files and cookies sometimes makes it work again.

@Scottjonesqpr: Please PM a test account so I can take a look at the URL (or temporarily open it up for guest viewing)

@Mario & ConnKid: I'm experimenting a bit to see if I can recreate it.

Forgive me if these questions have been asked:

1. What are the advantages of this mod over IPBProarcade?

2. Is it a requirement to validate your install path in order to access the games download section on v3arcade.com? It seems so, but I just want to confirm. I think this is not a good idea since I already have IPBproarcade installed. I have to remove that and install yours to validate. This is a bit of a pain.

Just installed on our test board and working OK so far. Will comment further after its been running awhile, got to let the hairy beasts have a go at it, if anybody can screw things up its them

Thank you!

@Mario & @ConnKid: Just tried again with 1.0.9 and still can't duplicate it. I tried submitting a score and then hitting the browser back button, no problem. Submitting a score and hitting the "Play Again" link, no problem. Submitting a score, going back to the arcade, playing the same game, no problem. One of you guys/gals mind PM'ing me a link & username/password, along with the exact steps your're taking, so I can try it out first-hand?

[connkid25]

I narrowed down the problem. I mainly use IE8 now which is the cause. In FF everything is good. Im not sure about IE7 since I updated the browser before I installed the arcade. If I had to guess KW, your using FF?

[RobbieZ]

Do you still get transmission timeout's on games ?

Considering IE8 is only 20% compliant with web standards, I'd definitely look at using a browser that treats websites better.
