As far as I'm aware, it will work on 7.1 and it's our intention to support 7.1.

Depends what you mean by "further supported". Flash is being blocked in all browsers by default now, so we have no current plans to update this modification with new functionality.

Ok well to know that it will then run with php 7.1.

Yes Flash is getting less and less. Only html5 games.

Wordpress z.b. There you can install html5 games.

Save them do not because they need to be re-adapted just like flash games.

Flash games will still function after flash is blocked by default.

Hello!
Is there a way to display a different number of 'Most Trophies' compared to 'Longest Players' 'Latest Champions' and 'Latest Scores'? I'd like to display 5 of all, but more for Most Trophies as on our board we give credits at the end of the month to everyone depending on the number of their awards, and if just 5 are displayed, some remain without credits. Or is it possible to have 'Most Trophies' displayed on an individual page as the Leaderboard in ibPro Arcade?

Also, it is said in the main post 'Latest tournament shown on arcade portal' for the Lite version, but they don't show up.

Thanks!

Where do I edit this phrase? I can't find it in the phrase list.

You cannot play right now;
please try again later

How to ban users in arcade only? If I create additional usergroup and place the banned players there it won't work since their primary usergroups are still allowed in arcade.

Make it a primary usergroup then? We can't. Banned players belong to different primary usergroups. Merging them into one primary usergroup just to disallow them from arcade will mess their forum permissions.
