I just wanted to explain how the score system works. When you click on a game it is listed in the scores with the arcade. Every time you click out of a game without submitting or refresh the page it gives an invalid score. After a while it builds up and will not accept any new scores until I perform a maintenance on it to remove all invalid/zero scores. While I try to do this a couple of times a day it appears that the scores add up fast. There's nothing wrong with submitting a lower score. The games are for enjoyment, the high score just a bonus. Please keep that in mind.

Have fun!

So we shouldn't click restart? Are you saying that if we restart, the scores remain as invalid until you take them out? Just asking because I do that alot. I won't submit a score unless it is worthy. LOL

If it has a restart it should be okay. It's the times that you leave without clicking submit that it counts as invalid. (I'm going to check to make sure)

Hehe. It's cool. I do it too from time to time. Especially when I'm at work. I just wanted you guys to be aware of it. I've seen people in the arcade for hours and the latest score was from yesterday. :p

All I can do is clear the invalid scores. I played a couple of games and they all submitted. I think I'm going to change the amount of time the scores are kept to 20 days... see if that helps.

I dunno. I deleted the scores from over 20 days ago. I think the Arcade might have been overloaded... but I'm not sure. I am still looking into it.

You mean you're complaining about being a champion? We can rectify that. :p


Question to those having problems: Have you downloaded the service pack 1 for I.E. 6?

It was just that once. all the others that I played seemed to work fine.
