Many forums packages have it built-in. When someone replies to the post, the forum checks to see if anyone needs to be notified of it, and sends out the email if necessary, for instance.

This can be mega high load though - what your host describes is notification of favorites - Threads does this, when a post is made, it emails everyone who had the post tagged as their favorites and had the email preference enabled.

What you need is the cron job which runs nightly, finds ALL the posts made that day, in a particular forum, and emails it to people that have subscribed to that particular forum.

I'm in shock by your webhost's statement. If they honestly say nobody has ever asked for a cron job, then you seriously should find a new webhost. They haven't been in the business long, or don't know what they are doing. Cron jobs are a fundamental building block of web hosting. They've been around forever.

Remember I say this not just as a webhost, but also a consultant who has hundreds of clients, all with different servers and webhosts. I've seen a pretty good cross section of web hosts.

A good webhost will offer a decent control panel (like CPanel) where you can create and schedule these jobs automatically.

How about working in somewhere either a link or just a bit of info on how to challenge other members to a game? If I hadn't made a post in my forum about doing it from a users profile a lot of my less "advanced" users were lost. I like the fact the link is in a users profile,that gets people who generally don't take advantage of those features a little more involved.

Sure I can do that.

My users aren't posting anymore all they do is play games in your arcade, how about a switch that allows 15 minutes in the arcade per post lol

*edit* check this one out Sleep it off ya drunk

How do we remove individual scores via the database, or whatever? I have a game installed which must have a bug in it, because there are two hi-scores that are impossible to achieve.

under the admin panel go to the disable/enable games

I just noticed a littl "thing" with the display of the news.

Anyone that plays a game is listed as the new champion. but they only played it and did not ge the high score.

nah is the new Aim Game Champion!
TheClone is the new Aim Game Champion!
CN3089 is the new Aim Game Champion!

but the high score holder it called Ace Freely. theese users only played the game.

I get that as well,I beleive it only happens with challenges though?

fixed in next version. well at least doesn't happen on my server...

Have I said, "I love you" latley....
(not in that way :-o )

You can't have his Bud Liite

/*drool*/

Chaos and Dr Chaos - turn off your "Show all challenge scores" for now and it will fix the problem of every challenge showing in the news as a New High Score.

k- thanks

ditto

i got the same problem ><~
could u tell me how to solve this problem?

thx

It has a 'web copy protection'. Its not only the main .swf file. You need a seperated soundfile.
First Tip: check your browsercache
Second tip: get the whole yeti pack from this thread. all needet files included.

FYI here is a copy of Yeti Pentathlon - each of the first five games wrapped into one 'tournament' style score.

Also linked is Yeti Sports 6 Big Wave and Yeti 7 Snowboard Freeride.

Fun game.

Yeti Pentathlon

Yeti6 - Big Wave

Yeti7 - Snowboard Freeride

How can I get the game screen bigger? I set it to 400 x 300 but its super tiny?

You would have to edit your database entries to make the SWF image larger when it loads.

I used phpMyAdmin to edit the fields for several different games. If you are not allready using it I highly recommend it

Aye, phpMyAdmin is a nice tool for MySQL database management on the web.

You know what we need to hack out in the arcade.php?

A 'games per page' limit. Each time I add a game, the page becomes slightly slower on the load.

Still an awesome add-on (best I have ever installed)...just thinking ahead.

be carefull when setting a flash bigger then it was designed. Some games dosnt work correct or display some scrab. I play all games with a standalone player first to find out the correct resolution.

Thanks for the new ones

if anyone has set it bigger, just let me kow what size was best :0

phpmy admin roxxers the boxxers

I believe scroungr is putting that feature into his forthcoming release

my settings (width * height)
yeti 1 650*400
yeti 2 500*308
yeti 3 500*308
yeti 4 550*400
yeti 5 550*400
yeti 6 500*500
yeti 7 500*400

where did you get all of them. I could only get yetti 6 (surfer)and Yetti Pentathlon to work?

Medar post a link to an archive in this thread. Works well, only missing some images. I create my own.

/edit look in flat mode on page 12 of this thread. There is a link

Hello,
finds suitable Games for "Games Arcade" here to her.

Nettomo

waiting for 1.7

I am having the same problem as turbosport.

The top scores work on the games included in the first attachment at the very top of this thread.
I have reinstalled this version today.
When I add the other games that another member has attached on this thread I can play the games but it does not register the scores. I does show that I am the champion, but not of what game.

Does anyone have an idea to solve this, it is driving me crazy!

did you name the files correctly? in the swf is a name that if you do not call these files the same name will not display the scores. its usually included in the zip file for that game..

I have found out how to solve my problem.

There is no txt file in the attachments above, but if I add new game and name the file 'newgame, newgame' then in MySql edit the game to 'newgame' it works!
This might be an odd way to go it but it works for me so I don't mind really.

when i added a game there are no highscore stats this is used
[] INSERT INTO `w3t_games` VALUES ('YetiP', 7, 'Yeti-PENTATHLON', 'Now it's time for Yeti to show his skills in all 5 parts', 'yetitoursm', '500', '400', 'yetitoursm.gif', 29,,)"; [/]

My users are calling for more games.. There are quite a few here I dont have.... Any thoughts on where to get more that I can load up easily....
