I just installed this on vb 5.1.5.

when i click the arcade tab in the navbar.... it just loads a blank page

also if i click the "begin" button to browse games from "mochi" i get this error:

There was a problem reading the games feed

i did import one game manually (asteroids) but does not seem to affect the loading of the page (still blank if i try to link to the game directly)

any ideas?

thanks

*edit*

ok, i noticed some database errors:

Mochi has been shut down, and there's no point in trying to import from iPArcade if this has not been installed on your forum
