Problem with supporting new sites is,
1) You don't know how long that site will be around.
2) If there is not a API to get the games and save the scores, it is useless.
3) The sites are new, and you don't know how good their screening process is against exploits in them.

Best bet is to wait and see how the sites are time tested.

I uninstalled the arcade (thanks to Mochi shutting down and it barely being used on my site) via ACP, deleted (tried to) the files, and now instead of getting a 404 page when I visit the arcade I get a db error. I try to delete the folder /dbtech/arcade but it keeps reappearing? Permissions on the folder is 755.

Ok reinstalled and tried to uninstall again. Still keep having the /dbtech/vbarcade folder being recreated after deletion.

Steps taken:

1: Uninstalled arcade via plugins and products.
2: Removed all files that were uploaded (minues the self recreating /dbtech/vbarcade folder)
3: Erased the lines in .htaccess
4: ??? Did I miss something ???

Are you sure you also deleted the arcade.php file from your forum root? i.e. where forum.php is.

I just checked and no arcade.php was not (oops) deleted. Deleted the file and we're no longer getting errors (yay), however when I delete the folder /dbtech/vbarcade/ it still recreates itself. I have never seen this happen before so I am at a loss as to why it's doing that

Is a special trick needed to make the Champion Announcement Thread work in vB4+vBSEO?

Did the expand to full screen feature break with the last arcade update?

The checkbox doesn't do anything anymore. Angry arcaders...

We've heard no reports of this. Please try checking the Error Console in your browser for any JS errors.
