Don't know if this is my work firewall that's causing the problem but when I click on that arcade link I only get a blank html page. As in nothing between the <body> tags.

A few people have reported problems with getting onto that page. I'm looking into it.

Arcade is awesome

I have a reason to come to work now.

Tho think you should stick in a popup that theres a pause button or a "here comes your boss HIT ESCAPE NOW" type thing.

Ok, the reason people aren't seeing the games site is that for the time being, it is ONLY available if you use the default skin. I'm working on correcting this.

On threads with more then one page, the link within the thread is malformed.

The link in the forum is kosher.

Example

This link from the root page of PI works fine
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87655&pagenumber=2

but when a user enters the thread the link to page 2 is malformed like this

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/t87655-40&pagenumber=2

I'm not sure if that is because of the patch or not.

Regi, did you keep the session id or just throw it away in the rewrites?

The default behavior is now to throw it away. If you use any of the other skins, you can browse in the old way (using sessionids and not cookies). If its required, I'll provide a new skin that's identical to the default skin, but with the session key once more.

Damnit I want my top score :P

Good thinking. I'm off to cog it to Foot.ie now that you've done the hard work and highlighted the pitfalls. Cheers!

Can you please ban me from the arcade board? I'm afraid I'll get fired otherwise.

Um, arcade for other skins. uh, I'll get RSI if I do all the copying/pasting in one go, but it'll get done.

Front page link - dunno - I've not started work on the boards frontpage yet.

Default works for me. Make sure you refresh the page if you're using back in IE to get to the game.

Cloud skin works fine for me.

Mozilla seems to have some problems with the games itself, but that might've been the particular comp I was on
