You might not care but others certainly do. In regards to the v32 score problem, I have a fix that I believe will take care of it. It is working as expected on my test site and am just waiting to hear back from some others trying it on their sites before I release "v3 Arcade 1.1.1" to the public (those with access to the betas over at v3Arcade.com can download it now).

That will be quite some time right? Aw..i can't wait to change to v3 Arcade.

Sorry, there is no estimated date for either the new major version nor for an updated converter. With the changes that will be in the next major version, a converter likely won't be worked on until after the next major version is released.

Good to hear! I'll be waiting.

v3 Arcade 1.1.1 has been posted.

I was not planning another update this fast but the problem was important enough to get this worked on as a priority item and to get the update available to the v3 Arcade community as soon as possible.

In a nutshell... if you have been experiencing problems where certain games seem to randomly display a "No Permissions" error instead of saving the scores, you'll want to install this update.

Please note: If after installing the update you still get the occasional report of a user having a problem, please ask them to clear their browser cache before trying again. The code changes should kick in immediately without needing them to clear their cache, but just in case...

Just uploaded the latest 1.1.1 and I'm still having problems with submitting the score on the Solitaire game.

Just Solitaire or all games in general? This update would not be related to problems with any individual games.


(But I will go play around with Solitaire on my test site... )

[ArnyVee]

Kevin, the other games all work and can submit scores. Just the Solitaire one won't let us submit the scores.

Mind giving me a link to the actual game on your site either here or over at v3A? The Solitaire that was installed over at v3A doesn't seem to work and, coincidentally, it is not in the v3A Game Store either so I'm not sure where it came from. I'm searching what old threads I can to see what the deal with that particular game is.

Here's the link Kevin....

Yep, that's the one I thought it was. I've removed it from the demo arcade at v3A since I can not account for where it came from. After doing some Google searches it appears that version of the game has issues and has been updated over the course of time (the cards have a different design and the layout at the bottom of the screen is different). What I did not find was the game creator's 'home site' to get the current status of the game.

I'll keep an eye out for any Solitaire games that are freely available.

[ArnyVee]

Alright, we'll keep an eye out for the Solitaire game.

I still have to see how to remove and add games because I have a couple that I've downloaded, but I haven't been able to get them to work yet
