I installed the latest arcade 2.0.2 and upgraded according to the instructions and the arcade links are a.w.o.l.. When I go to it directly, the formatting is a bit *off*.

Here's what the live version looks like:



Here's what the updated version on test site looks like:

The screen shot of your live site looks like vB4 but version 2.0.2 in this thread is the vB3 version. If you're running vB4, grab the most recent vB4 compatible version from over at v3Arcade.com in the Members Area.

Well that would make sense. I got confused since the update notification sent me here for the update. I have to start reading these things more closely lol.

The next update I'll be sure to clarify a bit better that it is the vB 3.8.x version. The vB4 version is coming along nicely and will be likely released here as well soon (in a different thread). After that then we'll be going back and hitting any issues that affect both the vB3 & vB4 versions as well as starting the back-list of requested features & changes.

I'm a premium member over at the v3 Arcade forums. There's a thread about this over there, but it's hasn't gotten any kind of official response since I posted it a couple of days ago.

A group of us who updated to vBulletin 4.04 have had flawed Mochimedia integration ever since. I can add new Mochi games, and they have no trouble communicating with the high score server at Mochimedia, but the v3 Arcade leaderboards are not updated. Users who break the posted high scores are complaining, and we cannot run any tournaments with Mochi games.

Please advise. I can downgrade to an earlier version, but that was kind of spotty sometimes. Maybe there is a template fix I can apply? You said we were very close to a release candidate, so I'm hoping there's an easy solution.

When I upgrade a a test board, and installed arcade, everything works great.

When I navigate between the blog/cms/forum tabs, the correct site title is displayed on the top of Firefox. When I go to Arcade, it displays a different name.

(I did this from a copy of a board with a different title).

Attached are the correct and incorrect images.

Any thoughts?

[odln018]

Disregard, uninstalling the product, and reinstalling seems to have resolved it.

[odln018]

Is it possible to establish a single user as an "Arcade Manager", with access to just that control in the AdminCP?
