=================================
v3 Arcade
for vBulletin 3.6.1
=================================

"v3 Arcade" is the third Arcade system I've written for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch, not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin 3.6 it uses the product system for code modifications, and utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

- Supports both v3 Arcade and iB games.
- Download *legal* free, premium and multiplayer games directly from v3arcade.com to your Arcade installation.
- Import script to convert your old v3 Arcade installation. (A script to import games, scores and news from old IBPro installations is available here, thanks to Tigga: http:www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324)
- AJAX based instant ratings, for simple to use game ratings.
- AJAX based inline score moderation.
- AJAX based instant game searching.
- Tabbed, customizable categories.
- Challenge system for one-on-one contests.
- User-permission based settings for email/PM notification, challenge settings.
- Streamlined viewing modes for users with lower resolutions.
- AJAX based quick stats, for viewing statistics by passing the cursor over a username.
- Mass import tools for importing games in bulk.
- Reverse and decimal based scoring.
- Arcade-only closure with customizable message.
- Per game criteria, allows you to control access to games by reputation, posts, registration length.
- Postbit based awards.
- Personalized recommendations for other games users might like, based on what they?re playing.
- Quick stats, letting a user know how many other scores are above and below theirs.
- Score ranking.
- Admin customizable ?score feedback?, displays a message based on how well as user has done.
- Numerous Admin CP settings to control things like popup opacity, maximum comment length, hover delay length, and numerous other behaviors.
- Full admin control over the types of content allowed in comments (BB code, HTML, smilies, etc.)
- Usergroup based access permissions.
- Fully phrased, for each translation into other languages.
- An ever growing collection of third party add-ons, thanks to Oblivion Knight.
- A slick, professional layout.

According to vBulletin, you are incorrect.
Here are a few entries out of many:

By default, vBulletin will install the files for the Administrators' Control Panel into a folder called admincp, but you may wish to rename this folder this for security purposes. -- The Official vBulletin Manual

Quote:

We have it renamed on our site to avoid bots crawling the internet for vb sites to hack it to get a score. -- Floris (vBulletin Staff)

Quote:

If you're looking to make your board safer, it would make more sense to rename the admincp directory (and set the variable in the config.php file) as well as passwordprotecting the directory with htaccess. -- Colin F (vBulletin Staff)

Thats all i am going to add as I do not wish to further derail this thread

Still wondering if arcade templates will be grouped together instead of being listed by default? They take up a lot of space.

A new Hack of The Month of vBulletin.Org
I think.

thanks! Got it!

Exactly Moparx. Some people just dont understand that's sensitive info. Not even Jelsoft knows my admincp directory since I intentionally disabled the phone home mechanism. Im sure as hell not goint to give it to a 3rd party site.
