In brief (forgive me if miss anybody, just give a shout if I did)...

- v3A 2.0.3 for vB3 has been released. If you're are using Mochi games you'll want to grab this update. Make sure you also update your crossdomain.xml file on your server. Until I have a chance to update the first post here, please download the latest version from v3A.

- v3A 2.0.0 for vB4 has been released as Gold. We'll be posting it here at some point but for now you can grab it at v3A.

- @odln018: No, but that is not a bad idea. Mind posting that over at v3A in the 'suggestions' forum so I can talk it over with Brian (the v3A Lead Developer)?

- @CybaGirl: As BOP5 mentioned, if you're using something other than the default index.php as your home page then you'll do some minor edits. If you are using vBa CMPS as your home page named index.php in the same folder as vB, then please see these instructions at v3A.

- @BirdOPrey5: The latest versions is much easier! Now it's just a one line change.

- @Bada Bing: As BOP5 mentioned, only "Leaderboard" games will save scores. There could be other factors at work also (eg: missing setting in the ACP or missing crossdomain.xml file or the user is using ad blocking software).

- @RobbieZ: I know a few of the regulars in the v3A forums have done but am not aware if any of them have written up explicit instructions on how to do it. The one big obstacle you're going to run into is IPB games; if you install them to both arcade systems then which one is supposed to record the score.

Hello and thank you for getting back to me and for your help. Sorry for the late reply as I have been rather busy of late and have not had time to look into this further.

Not to sure about the game being a IBPro game but it probably is. I found it somewhere in a pack. Do you mind explaining to me what you mean by VBadvanced?

Where can I find this index.php?

As our forum has http://www.the.name.of.our.forum.com/forum.php as the main index page. Then when you go to the arcade section it looks like this.

http://www.the.name.of.our.forum.com/arcade.php

So any assistance here would be much appreciated.

Plus we are running vBulletin v4.0.3 and v3_arcade_for_vbulletin_2_0_0_rc2_(vb4)_28316

Thanks for help once again.

[BirdOPrey5]

what page comes up if you go to http://www.the.name.of.our.forum.com/index.php ?
vBadvanced is a specific content management system that makes an index.php page (usually) that provides 'boxes' of useful info to make a nice 'homepage.' It is its own mod and you'd probably know if you had it. However you have vB4 so i'm not sure how the pages work for you, hopefully KW802 can shed more light on your situation.

@CybaGirl: If you PM me the URL of your site, I can take a look a look to see what setup you're using. If it is a NSFW site, no problem, I'll just need to take a look after hours instead of during the day.

[KW802]

@Mattysstars: Are you sure you uploaded all of the files to your server and imported the product XML file? Sounds like at a minimum you missed uploading some of the files in the zip to your server.

Thanks in advance !

StilgarSinpople, please download the vB4 version of v3A from v3Arcade.com (we haven't posted the vB4 version here yet).

v3A will use your existing vB style so you shouldn't have to do anything to get it to match your design unless you're trying to do some unique changes to the actual v3A templates. Until we get v3A for vB4 posted here, please feel free to post in the v3A vB4 support forums.

[StilgarSinople]

Ah ok, I downloaded it from a french board, I'm going to fix it soon !

Thanks a lot !
