Yes but ill hope that it doesnt take to long before a real fix gets released since this solution will cause server load to increase.

[tlwwolfseye]

Could you tell me what makes v3 Arcade different from IBproArcade, which is what I have installed so far.

Is v3 Arcade better ? Or is it just another script doing the same with a different name ?
Thanks.

Go here and view the arcade for yourself. IBpro IMO is an eye sore.

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.

Would appreciate if someone can answer this.

Does anyone get transmission timeouts like on IBP??

[Lupixos]

hello I have a problem times.

and is about as security tokens.

this is the game whom you wish to communicate.
that ye also wist what my board is different.
I wrote a vbcms indoors and index in this file is renamed.
and the index of the forum is now index1 and I've the feeling this is why the token comes.
nu times and my question what can I do this again goes

Now if it comes with the change yet again. I'll tell you the same it is not feasible as I would like the portal comes first.
yes I know that there are other ways to go but unfortunately not with me so I had to make the so -

so I ask you now to help these security tokens to vanish!

[tlwwolfseye]

I asked the same thing a short time ago in the vBarcade for help, but instead of just telling me which specific file/template I have to change, there was something that you could do to fix that but that was not really specifically explained to me.

So I had no choice but to deinstall the Arcade. Its sad sometimes that even if its pretty sure that someone knows how to do just one thing, he rather will not help but just (at max.) give you a link to something else which you then have to completely read and maybe also to understand before you actually know how to use that to fix your problem.

If you get help here about that issue, please let me know. Then I install the Arcade again.

[Lupixos]

ok this is obviously bad but I must say that I do not vBarcade but the v3 Arcade was indoors because it is ne solution to give

Best answer I can give is to take a look at the history of both and make your own decision. There are reasons why some of us continued to use v3A after the original developer put the project on hiatus status and those reasons are why I also acquired the full rights to the project (back in Feb.) so that v3A can continue to be developed & enhanced.

The intent of the games available at v3A.com is to allow v3A users a place to download some free games that their creators have given permission for them to be legally redistributed at v3A. v3A.com is not a game distribution site; it is a support site purposely for those running v3A.

Sorry, but I am not following what type of error exactly you are getting. Security token errors from what & where?

Huh?

[Lupixos]

hm, I will formulate something different.

so you get here at this constitutes a token index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore

and so the scores will not be transmitted
