I own the site, am a super admin and I get the errors. Usergroup permissions as I know them to be have zero bearing on me or my other members getting the error I stated above. That's why I'm looking for further help on the matter.

The instructions state you must go into each usergroup and allow that usergroup access the arcade. This includes the Administrator usergroup.

It's been that way since day 1! Every usergroup including guests can view the arcade.

I have it setup as this....
->Admin and mods have full reign to play.
->Users awaiting email confirmation and guests can only view it.
->Registered user MUST have at least a total post count of 2 and must post at least once per day to play.

TMH63, Biker_GA: It may be 'browser' issue at work here.

TMH63: Is it happening with everybody or just certain users? With all games or just certain games? If everybody, get in me private over at v3Arcade.com so I can take a look at the URL to see if I can spot anything. If just certain users, do you happen to know what browser & version of the browser they are using? If all games, get me in private so I can take a look. If just certain games, do you know if they are v3A games or IPB games? I suspect it's the IE7/IE8 problem that has come up on occasion but the more info the better.

I haven't ran IE in YEARS. Latest version of firefox is what I'm using. I can never get my members to get me constant and reliable feedback on exactly what games and when they get the error I posted above. They just tell me that they are getting it.

But to your question, it's not every game. I uploaded a game today....played it the 1st time and obviously got the high score. Played it again now 4 times and got the error above. As talked about in the v3 forums, it's most likely a cache issue of some sort. If I remember correctly, they are mostly all IPB games where the issues arise. It would have to be....are there more than 10 v3 games out there? lmao

I'll check the v3A forums for your posts to get the details.

Sarcasm aside, there are quite a bit of "v3 games' out there (just search Google). Getting permission from the game creators to redistribute them is another matter.

Thanks, I'll tear it apart again this week trying different browsers. There is a 'guest' issue reported that I need to debug (or at least get to reproduce) so I'll hammer the test site again with different browsers & settings while I'm there.

If you mean allowing guests to play and they are reporting issues, that is no real concern of mine as I do not allow the unregistered to do anything on my site other than to view.

That section is the "Arcade Champions" listing.
"1st" = "First Place" / "Highest Score" / "Champion"
"2nd" = "Second Place" / "Next Highest Score" / "Runner-up"

The current importer available is outdated and is it not recommended to be used. After we get the next major version of v3 Arcade (slated to be "2.0.0" released this summer) we will be working on an updated converter.

I see. Thanks for the info.
That will be quite some time right? Aw..i can't wait to change to v3 Arcade.
