Now I have access to arcade - but no games available.

Clyde · July 21, 2008

Clicking on links to other topics in the forums (in old posts from the other host?), leads to the placeholder page.

Also in code tags Tabs show up as a funny A. http://dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=73.msg382#msg382

QuoteTabs showing up funny

- you mean like a ^ over an A?
Nasty. Somehow a unicode file got turned into an ascii file without a good transform.

Clyde · July 21, 2008

yeah, also Rolys name is messed up a tad.

Jim · July 21, 2008

Looks like the same problem. Nasty.

Hmm... Unicode

Thats a horrible bug.

It will not affect new code postings, as it's right throught the messages database I will have to make a script at some point to go through it and turn them all into spaces

In the meantime, people will have to manually delete the tabs out of the listings or use search and replace in thier ide.

This is because I had to change the directory structure of the website, so not only was the whole forum moved, it has been put into it's own directory to allow me to work on the portal (which will go where the place holder page is at the moment).

Jet Pac game doesnt work when I press number 1 to play

That's because you press "5" to start, not "1"

There's only one theme available for both default and the one to choose from which is Azure.

I think I have fixed this problem, please test it!

All the games that are left in the arcade work, non-working ones are gone.

Got this:

Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator

after playing Apple Shooter several times.

Btw. I noticed that each highscore is saved in the highscore list. Wasn't it
that way that only the personal highest score was saved - so there is only
once score of each user in the highscore list

Shockwave · July 21, 2008

You got the database error probably because you clicked back on the browser to play the game. You should not really do that, just click the play button (the game is cached and should load fast).

The arcade treats scores differently now btw, I could change it so it only saves one score per player (as it was) but thought it would be more fun to have several as the comments in the score table have more meaning then.

Submission of scores is different now, it's more secure.
It was theoretically possible to cheat before, it's much more difficult now.

Bear in mind that cheating in that way was basically php injection, I was not really comfortable about people being able to inject code into the site in that way so I had to upgrade the arcade.

Cheers for the bug report

File attachments -
If you are making two different posts at the same time but one of them has a file attached when you send the posts whichever post was sent first has the files attached regardless of what post it was attached to. found this out while I was making a new topic in yabasic I was midway through formatting that post and attached the source code then got bored and posted in the time game. my source code was sent to time game instead

Shockwave · July 24, 2008

Thats actually an SMF bug, it would be hard to fix too because of the way that a message board proceses post forms.

Think about it, if you attach a file and initialise a variable with it then no matter what post form you submit the file will be attached.

Maybe they'd like to know about it on the SMF forums.

When viewing the forum under Safari 2.0.4, all the text input fields and text boxes have a tiny height of only a few pixels.

I'll try upgrading to a newer version of Safari.

Clyde · July 25, 2008

Something I noticed the other day in the profile section, is that the current forum time equals the date.

Did this happen since I moved the forum?
