I believe we wil have to wait until V32 is supported
V2 games have too many issues, such as easier to cheat and if you open 2 windows od games, scores won;t save and show errors..etc
It is using a template hook in your "postbit" template (or "postbit_legacy" if you the option turned on in your ACP). There is a plugin running that inserts the awards at the "postbit_userinfo_left" location in that template. Depending upon which template you're using, you'll want to either move "$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]" (without the quotes) to the spot where you want to the awards to appear or, if you're familiar with plugins & hooks, modify the plugin "Awards Plugin Postbit" at the very bottom to use a different hook name.
Stay tuned for 2.0.0 coming this Summer.
Hey, thanks, got it and worked perfectly - appreciate the quick reply and great instructions!

Don't have an answer yet. Trying to see what would generate that particular vB error.

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out. For those curious... I am using the phrase "$vbphrase[first_visit_message]" inside of a vBa CMPS and that phrase accepts two links, one for faq.php and one for register.php. In my template I forgot to use "$vboptions[bburl]/register.php" intead of just "register.php" since the template will be shown outside of the forums folder.
... in the spot where you unzipped the file, you'll see a folder named "files".
... upload everything in the "files" folder (a file named arcade.php along with several folders) to the same folder on your server where you have vBulletin installed (typically "forums" or similar).
... Import the "product-v3arcade.xml" file into vBulletin (ACP => Plugins & Products => Manage Products => Add/Import Product)
... Go into your user groups and set their permissions to the arcade (ACP => Usergrouips => Usergroup Manager => {name of group} Edit => Arcade Permissions)
... Have fun.
(Note... you should not try to install multiple arcade prodcuts on the same instance of vBulletin unless you have modified one or other to avoid any conflicts.)
That was an interesting read but after unzipping the download there is no "files" folder in it, just a "Forums" folder, is that the same?
Also it says upload everything, does this mean everything into the "Forum" folder (which I have 2??) in my cPanel or into each separate folder; Induces folder into my includes folder> Images into my images folder...and so on?
If so where to upload the "games folder"?
Kind of don't get where to upload everything to any help would be great.
