Hi Guys.

I currently use the other arcade program for VB and up until a recent server move it was working absolutely fine but now I get the following error on some of the games:

This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.

Transmission Timeout (0 sec)

Can anyone confirm that if I uninstall the old arcade software and install V3 Arcade this error would go away?

Thanks

Hi guys.

I'm having problems converting a .zip game to a .tar so I can install it?

Any attempts I have made have completely failed Any advice would be appreciated!!

[zelnik]

On Certain games on my install i get the following error:

<username>, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

The confusing part is this only happens if you play the same game twice in one visit to the site.

and even more confusing it only happens in IE.. works fine in Firefox!!!

Much be a cookie handling issue in IE?

Is this coded to be XHTML compliant?

I downloaded.

in the 'forum' folder, I see admincp,images,includes etc...

On my server, I have admincp folder under my forum, I also have images,includes and client scripts.

is the right way to install it like: put all the files of the admincp folder(from the zip) inside the servers 'admincp'? and so on?

the 'arcade' and 'games' folder should have their own folder?

also..in the "admincp" (from the zip) there is a folder called "games". Is the 'game' folder in the 'admincp' (from the zip) to be imprted in the 'admincp' in the server or do i put that in the 'games' folder?

thanks in advance

[code707]

[TMH63]

Thanks!

Ever have one of those projects at work that, when combined with some real life issues, just had you tied up non-stop? Whew!

If there still any outstanding issues that have not been addressed either in this thread or over at v3A, just let me know.

I'll probably add it manually, but I was wondering if we could have the option as to where it goes. I'd like to try it under the Community links myself. Any way to do this?

I would like to know this as well...

Thanks
