Hey Joe... this is for vB4

==========
I installed it yesterday, and everything went smoothly.

Yet if I access the Arcade (( @ /forums/arcade.php ))
it gives me a dozen lines of

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: v3arcade_category_bit in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3893

Ideas?
Thanks to the v3A Team!
Looking forward to the Arcade again!

My users are already itching

@New Joe: Yes, a vB4 version will be available as a beta soon. The lead programmer is hard at work on it but it is one of several projects he is working on.

@ComoEstaEso-com: Actually this download is for vB3. Because of all of the changes to the code & templates with vB4, a vB4-only version will be released as well.

Hi... I have two working arcades, one is ibpro and i just installed V3 on a new forum with the default games, all working, just one problem... with my older arcade setup and another site i have downloaded all the games there etc (rather than trying to download the setups again as the import didn't work for me) and i have been manually adding them... which work apart from scores, the page is blank with the url http://www.mysite.com/index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore, when i manually add a game i select ibpro-system and it all starts and shows images, just those scores... anything i can do? please advise thanks

Hi, i sent $60 via paypal for my branding free license a few days ago, either your all on holiday or what but I have made a few posts at the V3 forums with no luck as to a response, I'm wondering if i may get a reply here? i have created a support ticket here simple problem... i downloaded and installed V3 from here at vBulletin.org... then installed, then went to your forums, bought a branding free... and now my license is NOT showing as branding free, I'd like a response please this is not what i expected, i want confirmation of my payment and i also wouldn't mind getting my branding-free status linked to my arcade install, of course you could just give me my money back and I'll go for ipb, thought I'd try something new, so far i like it, but i feel you should expect a little help once you part with funds... anyways you must be very busy, please advise, thanks

Anyone been able to convery from IBP to this? I am getting problems using the converter.
http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3001

I click on continue and then it goes to a white page (url is: admincp/v3arcade_ipb_import.php?do=games

So the import did not work for me.

[KW802]

@b6gm6n: Per your request at the v3A forums the PayPal transaction has been reversed.

@Hornstar1337: Just responded to your thread over at v3A as well... if you don't mind, let's continue in that thread (it'll be easier to bring it to Brian's attention to check out).
