problem saving scores

It didn't used to do this, but now whenever someone trys to save their score in a game instead of going to the highscores page it goes to the homepage.

What could be the problem?

TIA.

not sure if its the same but i have users who keep having scores not saving. It seems to be losing the session ID

for me the page reloads while you are playing the game i assume to keep the session alive but for some people this method isn't working and they get timedout while still playing the game!

We originally thought it was a session ID, page reload, or timeout issue as well...

But try using IE. You'll see that the system religiously saves the user's first score of a session and NOT any scores after that (regardless of the time taken to play a game).

Actually it might be a server issue or something, my arcade suddenly fixed itself without any alterations. It is a bit of a mystery.

Peter,

What kind of server issue. We've been at this for a while now and still can't get scores to record properly in IE. It sucks big time because that's holding up progress at so many levels.

MrZero,

Any update on this? Did you get Zurvan's PM with FTP + Admin access?

For some reason, I'm having the same problem, AGAIN, after it was fixed. I just checked my index.php and it has the arcade code added to it at the top like it says.

What could be wrong now? My members are complaining.

I hope there is a simple solution to this problem like the last time.

Oh I did edit my forum.php file (the default vBulletin index.php) to work with a custom hack of mine. Would that affect it or is it unrelated?

Thanks in advanced.

EDIT: I was able to fix it. In my .htaccess file, I had it so index.php redirects to my root, which the arcade apparently doesn't like. I removed that part of my .htaccess and its fine now.

[MrZeropage]

always realize that games do submit their score to index.php

[aj8690]

Thanks. Is there any way to make it so games use a different file to submit? Or is that too complicated?

Thanks for your help.

[MrZeropage]

this is hardcoded in the converted games, so no chance to change it

[aj8690]

Ah, ok. Thanks. I was actually able to fix it by tweaking a few things in my .htaccess.

So how do you fix it then please tell us what you did like in steps cause i get it sometimes
