    Default Arcade

    You can call this a fish tale or not but I have now beaten gaff's record twice and both times it hasn't posted my score. In all seriousness only about 1 out of every 3 or 4 scores of mine are being posted all the others I get an error message or I am linked to the high scores but they don't have my recent score on there. This is happening to me in atleast 4 different games.

    (begin Palpatine impersonation) He He He Yessss EXCELLENT!!! It is all working exactly as I have foreseen it!


    Ok seriously here.. I've got another issue with the Arcade. When you break a high score, the system sends a message to the person you just defeated FROM YOU:

    So I got a P.M. "from" cdub260 with the title "Your high score got beaten"
    "Hello gafftaper,
    your highscore in the game Bookworm was beaten by cdub260
    Click here to play Bookworm and claim back the highscore, or click here to see the highscores."

    Cdub and I were getting a little annoyed at each other sending taunting messages back and forth until we figured out that the system is automatically gloating for us. I've found the way to turn off receiving these messages on the setting screen, but there doesn't seem to be a way to stop the system from sending messages in your name. It's not that big of deal if everyone knows about it but it could also cause a few hurt feelings if you didn't know.

    tell me which games are giving you the high score issue (not recording) There is a setting I can change per game to help with that.

    I'll see what I can do to change the text of the message to make it clear that it is an automated message.
