    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.

    I totally agree with this. I  remember the old arcade forum, and then the person passed away. Then in step our Hero Legionaire, then came the tubesock. :8:

     

    But anyway I :big_hug: for both of them.

    i don't like phpbb, in contrast to invision power board, but i think that thorsten's arcade pro is very good and actually has the same functions as the arcade here at legionaire.

     

    Have you tried phpBB lately.

    Thorsten's arcade, yes is very good, doesn't have the same features as we have with Legionaire's arcade.

    • phpBB - proabably the #1 free community software out there
    • SMF
    • MyBB
    • And a new community software that is really in the baby stages called Flarum.  Currently this one is free but that could change quite easily as it is still in it's very early stages

     

    I just set up a test site using phpBB, Thunder installed his Arcade Pro for us to check out. It is a great arcade, but lacks a lot of the feature we have in ipsProArcade, and is quite costly.

     

    SMF Arcade, this one is not for competitions no challenges installed, but it is free software. I have a site setup for Beta testing Arcadeholics - https://arcadeholics.net/index.php

    I have asked Chen a few times if he could add more features, but no luck with that.

     

    myBB quite the same, plain arcade but again freeware.

     

    Myself I think phpBB is the way to go. It can be customized quite simply, ext.'s are added very easy  as are the skins and languages. All the ext's and skins and languages are freeware, they do have some paid ext.'s and skins. Just need a cheaper arcade with all the bells and whistles. killbill has an arcade for phpBB, but I don't know anything about it.

     

    Legionaire, your on the road often, you drive a truck for a living.

    I am hanging on right now by the skin of my ass. I go in the hole every month, between IPS, the Modder's, and the VPS server. With the new increase, I just can't afford this any longer. My Renewal is due 02/04/2022 total $205.00 this is USD funds so add another 35 percentage on for exchange.

     

    I think the way things are going, this will be it for me..

     

    I also have a SMF Arcade forum, but this arcade is not built for competitions, no settings to set up game plays.

    • Sad 1

    I also upgraded yesterday, very hesitant about doing it, but I did. I got quite a few notices about skins not going to work, some mod's will not work.

    Seems anymore all IPS is interested in is making money. IPS has come a long way from the old invision forums, but they are getting to dam expansive to maintain.. I go in the big deep hole keeping my arcade going. Paying out every couple of months for updates and VPS Hosting on top of it all.

     

    I didn't know that bfaber didn't work thy any longer.

     

    I sure wish our arcade would work with phpBB, they have some cool skins and mod's, best part all free software.

    All my 56,942 game were free to all to download, with no limits.

     

    I was asked by a coder to stop downloads of their games, I respect this, and so did stop downloads. In fact I thought it was of best interest for all coders, if I stopped downloads from their categories.

     

    Until all of us can resolve this serious issue, I will reopen all my arcade games for downloading, but the ones by request, will remain, non downloadable.

    If any arcade owner, ever thinks he/she will make money from donations, I think they are delusional. Since my opening of the arcade forum, I am in the deep hole. Only ones making money are IPB and there modder's.

     

    I have to give credit to oak (Glenn) if it were not for Glenn buying games from most arcade owners, we would not have as many games to share with others. Yes Glenn has put out a lot of money to purchase games.

     

    I feel all games should be free for downloading on all arcade forums, called sharing, helping others.

    This must be something new in IPS as we normally set up notifications in Arcade Main Settings -> Notifications

     

    Yea probably is new, this is where I get the error. In the Arcade itself you can set the notifications with no problems.

    @Ronald i got same error message

      

    Error: Call to undefined method IPS\arcade\extensions\core\Notifications\arcade::configurationOptions() (0)
#0 /home/oldlrhvz/public_html/ipb/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(90): IPS\core\modules\admin\membersettings\_notifications->edit()

#3 /home/oldlrhvz/public_html/ipb/admin/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run()
#4 {main}

     

    I can save all notifications (edit) without problem, but not arcade notifications.

    GMP PHP extension think has nothing to do with that error

     

    OK this is the same as my problem, so now any idea what is causing this?

    You mean arcade notifications under Main setting? (there are no member settings)

    I just checked and no errors when save or changed some setting!

     

     

     

    I find it under Members, Member Settings, Notifications, then Arcade Notifications. Now while I am in this page IPS has a notice for:  notice.thumb.png.7a864c752107f8c241b1d65ef75ecbb5.png

     

    What is  GMP PHP extension, apparently my Host doesn't have it installed.

    Honestly, there is no reason to update everyday.  The ruffle emulator is available for anyone to install directly into Firefox and Chrome

     

    Firefox addon can be found here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-player-emulator/

     

    Chrome addon can be found here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flash-player-for-web-2021/kajnfloacekelnfgckmnnkeeaajfkeja?hl=en-US

     

    They are self installing add ons that run on ruffle, so there will be no need to install ruffle on your server anymore.  And both of these emulators are supported by both Firefox and Chrome

     

     

    Then why does Ruffle keep updating.? Myself I use Edge browser.

     

    Thanks for the response, guess it's good to know.

    You can right click on a game, and see the last time ruffle was installed or updated.

     

    My questions is: should ruffle be updated daily, every few days, or doesn't matter.

     

    I see some going back to Jan 2021.

     

    Now, anyone know the differences in the updates, just  what is in the update. I update ruffle every time a new update comes out, yet my arcade games on my forum, play the same as other arcade forums, that have never updated.

     

    This puzzles me..Looking for some good advice and answers.
