  1. Has anyone run across this yet? It was working fine until the October IPS forum update. I checked for something similar to this in the search, but didn't see anything, so it may be just my site. Have any of you seen any problems reported regarding the stats not reporting in the Admin panel? It seems to have started after the recent IPS update. Admin panel reports two problems with the database, both arcade related, but the fix button can't fix them, I tried running the commands listed there but no luck.

     

    Is anyone versed enough to give a guess, or solution, of what may have happened? I knew I should have studied more on SQL. :D

  2. I'll be staying with IPS, mostly because of the great Arcade developed by Legionaire and TubeSock. I appreciate all they have done, and my members really like the arcade. 

    Thanks Legionaire, and TubeSock for providing this great Arcade Mod. 

     

    If it ever has to be re-coded, then buying it again would be well worth it to me. This was done for the community, and that spirit is priceless. There was the time when we had no Arcade, and had Legionaire and TubeSock not stepped in a totally coded one, we would be without right now, so I will follow this Arcade wherever it goes.

  3. I see they jumped to $40 every 6 months now, instead of the $25 per 6 months. I never had to use support, very seldom went to the support forums, as you can tell since I didn't know about the price increase.

     

    They are going to price themselves out of business. You can get a blog that does most everything that IPS does now with Pages etc. They've gone insane, apparently. I'm going to have to think about it. I already stopped using many mods a long time back. I refuse to pay a set price, and then a renewal every 6 months for a mod, or Theme. It's been a 13-year run as of last month, I may wind up pulling my plug, and concentrating on my Blog. I'll have to wait and see what my members feel like.

  4. Looks like some good ideas. I have been struggling with a way to save the champions (first 3) each month, so I can announce them in a thread, but sometimes I miss my auto arcade reset and don't know who was in the first three slots.

  5. Oh, that was LOADS of fun. I tried figuring out how to use the SQL interface for an easy way and gave up.

     

    When I went to 4.6 it didn't upgrade any of the IPB tables, or maybe a few. So I went through one by one, a few at the time, and changed them to InnoDB. I notice it never shows any over head anymore, and I'm not having lags like I used to in the forum. It's been a week or so, so hopefully all will be well.

  6. Thanks V0RT3X for providing free themes, you are one of the few that still contributes free themes.

     

    Applications and plugins? I go for the free when I can now, and limit it to just what I really think I need, not what I want for eye candy.  The Arcade is one of the best applications to come along in a looooong time.  My thanks to all that provide something for everyone to make communities more enjoyable.

  7. I can't give any good suggestions. IPS is great software, but that is as far as it goes. I have been with them since before 2008. I have seen the switch from forum communities, to business ventures. However, I think they are going to fall flat on their faces before long. The giant WordPress blog is taking over the business sector from IPS. They upgrade too much, nearly each upgrade breaks things, which has led developers to realizing there is a cash cow in charging high prices for mods that were once free, and then tacking on 6 month renewals for upgrade support for the mods. You can't find free themes hardly.

     

    This arcade is the best I have seen. The ONLY reason I use IPS, is to host my own community, so I don't have to deal with ads, and have total control over a reliable self downloadable database and my complete backups of the forum structure.

     

    There is no way to thank you, and tubesock for the work and resources to bring the arcade to those that want to have one.

  8. You may have to contact your host, make sure her certificate renewed when yours did. 

     

    Also on the http you might check in your forum ACP under System and locate this. If it's turned on, it will block the embedding of http.

  9. Is there a way to save (or maybe I'm overlooking it) the current arcade champions. I see there is an option to archive the scores, but I can't for the life of me locate where they are kept. 

     

    There are times, when I can't get a screenshot, or I miss taking one, just before the score reset, of the top three champions. Is this kept somewhere that I can get those number of trophies from? So I can post the top three members from the previous month? I see an option to "manage archives" but that only allows me to edit the name of them. 

     

    Thanks,
