Topic: SMF Arcade - Now E-Arcade!

[JayrodsWife]

I dont know if playing Mahjong late at night does it, but I just played twice & it loads the page after winning, but doesnt give you the option to post your name on the list of people that have played. Just thought I would mention it. Might want to check into it. I played around 12:45-1:00 am last night/this morning.

Yeah, I upgraded the arcade last night and had 20 pages of errors this morning.  Hang in there and I will get them all fixed.

I meant to post this last night, but the upgrades may explain it. When I finish a game and click "Submit score" I get a blank screen and have to go back to SSH home to get back in....(or use the "history" button on IE to go back to the game home.)

[Jim]

It appears that there is lots of work to do on the upgrade to the arcade.  One major difference is you can play the game in a popup now.  Not necessarily a feature that I would say we needed.  I'll try to work on the errors tonight but if all else fails, I will uninstall the upgrade and reinstall the version we were using.  That shouldn't affect the scores, but it appears that the new games that I added are the ones that are not working properly as far as letting you post a score.  Thanks for your patience.

It did it again. Backgammon didnt let me finish my move then hit me when there werent amy men open to hit.

[Triss]

Man Wrennie, that has to be frustrating.  I wish it would not do that to you.

[Wrennie]

Aargh, now in bubble elements and cubis it goes to save a score goes to a blank page and doesnt save the score. No error message. its 12;57

[Triss]

Wrennie, I think that is all to do with the upgrade.  I know Jim will be working on that and get it fixed up soon.

[Dianna]

I am getting the blank white page, too, Wrennie. It is aggravating when you have a really high score and it won't let you post it, isn't it?

I think Jim is going to set it back the way that it was...

I hope to have things back to working correctly tonight.

OK, I was looking on my game sites and some of the others I like are; addiction solitaire, crescent solitaire, various forms of mahjong, spider solitaire, pyramid solitaire, word search, crossword, poppit, word whomp, chuzzle.
Not that i expect you to get all or any of them. Just sayin' that i like them.

[duh]

cubis two didn't save my score.  When I went to send in my score it sent me to a blank page and when I moved back from there I was back at the arcade home.  Grrrrh.  Had over 300,000 too

[Jim]

It appears that 2.5.3 was flawed and 2.5.4 has most of the fixes.  I played a few games and everything seemed to work.

Wrennie, I can't duplicate you Backgammon error.  I don't think Dianna has been playing it.  Thanks for the list of games, now I have some to go looking for. 

[Jim]

Updated the arcade last night.  We are now running the latest version which is 2.5.6.  I was reluctant to upgrade with the problems that we had last time but decided to try and keep things current.  It upgraded without a single error.  This didn't change much as most of the edits this fixed I had already fixed.

I'm looking at an additional template for the arcade.  I may install it tonight.  It is organized really neat.

[Jim]

Update on the arcade - All scores will be reset on 1 Jan.  This is something we do from time to time to keep the arcade interesting.  Additionally, it appears that the arcade is definitely using more bandwidth than before.  This is probably due to the good games we have been able to locate and the number of folks enjoying them.  As a result I have decided to implement a 20 post requirement in order to play the arcade.   The purpose of this is to keep someone from just joining to play games and not participating in our community.

[Triss]

Sounds like a good plan Jim.

[Tina]

Oh, I better count my posts! I love the arcade.

Looks like I could set it at 1000 and you would be ok.  I'm glad you like it.
