Thanks, and just to clear up my foggy mind. The standings for the Month of May, are the current standings, or they are how the month finished when the score reset from April. 

Sorry, I've been rebuilding my deck, it was about to fall down it was so old. All done now.

I must have accidentally deleted that option from my menu. I have it back now, and from what I understand they can tell who was in 1,2,3rd place for whatever month they select. The points are accumulative as set in the League section, but they can tell what place they finished the month in. :) That should suffice fine.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. 

Looks like I don't have something set right, or it didn't install? 

Thanks for all you do. I usually post a screenshot of the past months Current Arcade Champions just before the score reset but sometimes I miss the chance. I just need to be able to show who had the high trophy count at the end of the month.

you can check in the League Standings right now for the Archive that you want.

Where, or what directory is that located in. I'm overlooking it I think. 

Hi tubesock. is there a way to access this information, to see who had the most trophies in a given month? I can't locate where. Thanks for all you do. 

I know you have the "Redone" Category. I noticed in the thank you thread to the game convertors, I probably misunderstood (too many meds). Are all the games (html5) now converted? Or do we continue to follow the Redone category for the converted games. 

Thanks to all of you, for all you do! 

A super thankyou to the convertors, you make all this possible, along with Legion and Tube Sock. I can't thank you enough.

I didn't see that coming, either. I have seen no problems in support of the Arcade. We all have lives. Keep up the great work Legionnaire,  tubesock, and everyone else involved have been helpful. 

I have had no problems. Again, thank you all for the work, and providing an Arcade for communities. 

Thanks for all that hard work you did finding them. Will you let us know when you have them all removed/redone, so we can download them with the modifications for com pliancy? 

Sounds like a great improvement for mobile players. 

It's a nice browser, I use it a moderate amount of time. I'm hoping it stays normal and doesn't follow Chrome and others in trying to protect us to death. But, all in all, it is a good browser and fast.

I like the carbon as well. 👍

I still install and play them. Until they kill it off and it becomes a security risk, I will use them. Then it will be HTML5 or whatever else comes along. Everything is always evolving. Remember how they wanted to kill off Java as being too dangerous. We can be thankful, that never got off to a good start. 🙂

I've already made a new folder " /home/edsarcaad/backup_forum ", so I guess I copy this folder: /home/edsarcaad/public_html/forums - into it .

Does that seem right ?

First and foremost, be VERY careful working in the file manager, you can really mess up your site. As Joel R suggests, check first with your provider and see if they provide periodic backups. Then you can slowly learn the file manager. 

As to your question, 

Copy your "forums" directory to your backup directory. 

When restoring, You go into your backup directory you made, and select just the files and folders in that folder, and copy them to your forum directory where your forum is. Restoring should only be done as a LAST resort, many problems can be remedied through your support provider, or IPS support. They are great.

Again, seek a simple solution first, from your provider. If nothing available, then use your cpanel. 

Being on a VPS you may have someone that has root access, and can do your backups simply, with one command, and restore the same way. It's a learning curve truly running a VPS if you've never done it before. I had one about 2 years ago. After some medical problems, I just couldn't keep on top of it. Judging from your comments, it sounds like you must be on a managed VPS, meaning there should be someone there that can assist you in a backup. I'll help as I can, but I don't want to be the cause of a site going down, following my directions. 🙂

You seem to be a quick learner. So here are some basics. There are two components to your forum/arcade. The forum (which contains the arcade that you installed) and the Database.

Any problems you encounter, you have to figure out how to solve them, to ensure the components work together. 

Forum directory: Contains all the files for your forum functionality. All your arcade games. 

Database: This contains your posts, members information, arcade scores everything that needs information in your forum etc. That is why a database backup, is smaller than a forum backup. 

You have to have these two components to recover from a failure. 

1. Have a backup of all the files in your forum directory. Stored safely in another folder, outside of your forum directory. 

2. A recent database backup.

Again, I like to help, but assume no liability  for loss, damages, asteriod impacts, etc, from the use of instructions herein provided by me. 

Smooth as silk. Thanks for the new features.

From your screen shot, which is very helpful, I think you are clicking in the left column to select your forum

You should click once on the /home/edsarcaad  then select the item/s you want from the "right side pane" .

If your forum and arcade is all in one directory in the right pane, select it. Then the copy options will be available. 

Depending on how yours is set up, your actual forum folder may be under public_html.

Joel has a great idea, check with the hosting, and see if they keep a backup they could restore in an emergency. 

I don't claim to be an expert by any means.

I take no responsibility for any loss. This is the way I have always done my backups from the cpanel.

Naturally the backup of your database is a good thing and you seem to have that.

In my cpanel, I use the file manager to make a copy of the entire forum folder. I only make an entire backup, if there has been a major revision to the forum, or a lot of mods added. 

You still need to back up your database often, it contains your posts, members, arcade scores etc.

(Click for larger images)

Make and name backup folder. 

Make sure your location is /

Check that it appears in your tree.

Highlight your forum directory. Clicking once on it.

Then select "copy" from your options at the top.

Since you have your forum folder selected, the copy box will have the folder listed

Then you direct it to the folder you made for your backup.    this example was /test/

Now, it can take a while. Especially if you have a large forum and arcade. I've never timed mine, but it was something like an hour.

It won't look like it is doing anything, but you can check in a few minutes by clicking your backup folder, and it will be populating.

Note: Naturally this is intensive. If your on shared hosting, it may cause the "your site has been limited for 24hours" notice under the "resources" listing of your cpanel.

But the 24 hour limit has never had a noticable effect on my site.

To restore, you just do the reverse of these steps. copying all the files from the backup folder to your forum folder. 

Your backup folder can be downloaded if you wish for safe keeping. Or just leave it and restore from it.

Whenever I feel the need to make a backup, I just delete everything in the backup folder, and copy over once again the main forum.

I hope this helps someone, I have used it on my shared hosting through the cpanel. It has saved me a couple of times. 

That's my "Duh" for this Friday.  Thanks tubesock, I need to recharge my brain. 🙂

In the ACP for the Arcade. Under the stats. It displays seconds. Is there a possibility that it could be shown in hours and minutes?

Thanks,

Great release, flawless upgrade to 1.0.0RC6 on 4.4.9

Thanks for all the great work!

Yes, sorry.

Sorry I haven't gotten back here. Been busy with home repairs.

I just downloaded #3 and #7  from here, that had been reported and not working on my site.

Deleted the old game naturally, and then installed those two back.

They are now loading.I will just need to reinstall the group, no problem.

Thanks,

I tested the first 8 and got the same issue. Removed those. Reinstalled level 7 same issue.

The Bubble Academy level XX games are not loading for some reason. They load here, but not on my site. So that places it pretty much on my end. Has anyone come across this issue and solved it?

Game loads to same level and stops.

Tested with Firefox, Chromium and Chrome.

Upgraded to RC4

Removed one of the Bubble Academy Games (level 7) re-installed

All browsers up to date.

Thanks,

Casino is a bad idea, it only works with flash games and only a handful of games (less than 20) have the right code in them to be used in the casino

I agree, have to look to the future when flash is gone, or crippled.
