I can’t play in the arcade!!! :crying:
I went to link at the top and tried to play Monkey Lander and I got this page:
” javatyger, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

HELP!!! 🙁 I want to try a few of these and maybe beat a high score!!! 😎
I feel partly to blame on this misunderstanding as when I meet new members in the introduction section. I mention that we have an arcade here at BBB but never mention they have to have at least 10 post to have access which I will adjust so it will help reduce this misunderstanding. Jeff may I ask is this the same rule for the IRC chat?
No, he cant regulate IRC, it’s not tied into the forum system, so how could the IRC know if a user had 10 posts or not?
Actually, I’m to blame because I was chatting with Jeff the other day and he mentioned some people abusing the system (I won’t mention how) and getting really high scores in low amounts of time. So I suggested that he make it available for people only with 10 posts or higher. He agreed and did it right then and there. We never announced it, though, which was probably mostly my fault. Sorry.
Why don’t you just reset the scores every two weeks? I mean some people’s scores are high enough now that it’s probably unrealistic to match. This way it’s keeping the games competitive.
I realise that the arcade was probably brought in for the members who constantly post, but I’ve actually had people next to me in computer labs ask where I was to play some of the games that I was. They had no interest in posting in the forums, but wanted to play the games. I don’t know how to address that matter, but should it be seen as not allowing members to play who want to, but have no interest in posting (who don’t abuse the system)?

The person above me had a huge score and I could not understand how he/she had a score like that especially in the time stated! Thanks for letting us know about that Spike.
But to stop this, (Jeff can obviously tell if someone has cheated), could we just not delete cheating scores?

This way it’s keeping the games competitive.I would say more like a month. Since the winners get a trophy for their high scores, they should be able to sport them for at least a month. 😛
That sounds decent. Why don’t you make a high scores page, and every month list the names of those who made the top.
arcade is not behaving again when i submitted i got this error
williamlee, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Log Out HomeWhat game was that, William ?
There seem to be at least 2 different ways of entering scores.Anyway, at GREAT personal sacrifice, purely in interests of research, I’ve just tried Asteroids, Frogger, and Jewels, and all entered my scores fine.
Eagle,
It was with flash poker. I topped my own score but only played about an hour while killing time. When I went to push the submit option at the top that is when this error came up.Not a big deal, as I didn’t top my score by much but the point is, if someone was to top it rather than me and it does the same thing, than it would stand to reason why no one has beaten me.
And although it feels great, thinking your the best. It somehow loses it’s feel when you see it is possible but yet the game won’t allow you to be beaten.
I think your session timed out. If you don’t have the option to “Remember me” turned on (you have to log in every time you visit BBB), after a certain amount of time, your session will expire and the forum software will think you’re a guest. There really isn’t any way around this, that I know of (unless Jeff wants to extend the session timeout ;)) The only way to dix it would be to have vBulletin remember you (check “Remember Me” at the login on the top of the page).
ok. We had another thread about that occurring (occasionally) in Jewels.
So – I guess not ONLY in Jewels then. 🙁But while it’s possible for someone to beat your top score yet be unable to submit it, I’d say it’s unlikely – just a sad near-random combination of circumstances.
I reckon when/if someone tops you there’s a 95%(?) chance it’ll get recorded ok!(But it sure won’t be me! – Poker is one game I do NOT enjoy 😉 )
