Installed it at my old host (thats my test forum now), worked fine.

After that I installed it to my new webspace, and it first seemed to work too... but now, when I want to submit any highscore I get the following error:

File:
Line:

PunBB reported: You do not have permission to access this page.

Enabled Debug, but I don't really find something suspicious, errot page shows nothing.

After that,  I installed a complete new punbb1.2.15 to just find out if it's an database error or something like that.
Same error there...could this be an issue in phph.ini? I do not really know about that stuff. sad

Re: Arcade Mod Error

To tell you the truth this has happened to me before...

I couldnt fix the problem. I just re-installed with fresh files and it worked. Very confusing. hmm

Maybe next time I come across it I will try again to find the problem.

Re: Arcade Mod Error

When I check my Forum for Update I get the follwing Error:

Unable to check for upgrade since 'allow_url_fopen' is disabled on this system.

Could this be the reason why the arcade doesn't work?

Has anyone figure this out.  I have the same thing, where I get the "No Permission" error when submitting a high score.

What I've noticed is that there are 2 places to get this error.  One is at the top of the newscore.php page where it checks to see if you are a guest or not, and the other is  when it checks to see if you have a score and game_name:

Around Line 22

if(!empty($game_name) && !empty($score))

It then goes into the logic for updating the score, but the else on this if statement  is:

else

{
     error($lang_common['No permission']);
    

}

and I have changed this to show the $game_name and $score variables as a message instead, which are blank. This tells me that the name and score are not getting passed.

Is there something I need to change on the arcade_play.php page to make sure these values get passed?

Thanks.
