How do you get the arcade?

CK · Main Administrator

Truth-be-told, I really don't remember how I got the Arcade thing to work or on the forum for that matter. But I think it was a simple add-on.

PS: The forum link you provided above is that a new forum that will be used on your site? And if so when will it go online?

I really, REALLY need to find out how to get the 'arcade' and 'recent posts' functions for my forums. I spent ages going through all the possible options but there was no 'Add arcade' button. How can you not remember how you did it?, look through your browser's history, anything, just tell me how you did it. As soon as I get an arcade I will make the new Halo Nirvana forums available to everyone. I looked very closely at your last post to see if you gave some hints on how to get an arcade, I found nothing.

OK; No need to get snippy. And it's obvious that you did not search everywhere other wise you would have found in by now!

It's also very simple to forget how I enabled this system. For 1: I'm over seeing the development of about 20 articles (One being made by me). 2: I have personal work issues to remember and deal with (after all I don't get paid to operate this site). 3: There's the maintaining of this website and all facets of it. 4: Personal time that I will not discuss here.

So it's blatantly obvious that I have just too much on my mind to remember how I activated such a simple option.

Although you haven't really helped us..at all in the past (and for whatever reason, you keep saying "I want to join!", and then not responding to any emails), I'll help you on this one. All I have to do is login as CK and snoop around the Admin control panel a bit. I'll probably find something.

It's okay I found out how to get it. It's under 'Advanced Settings', I can't believe I overlooked it the first few times. Here's the answer to my own question if anyone else should ever ask the same question I did.

1. Log in as your account

2. Go to settings using the navigation

3. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click where it tells you to click for advanced settings

4. Go to 'Control bar' and select configure

5. Add an arcade and save settings.

Thanks for offering help, Major Silva.

Now that I have an arcade the new HN Forums will be up very soon. Major Silva, can you please post more this time round? Don't worry, you shouldn't encounter any 'Too many connections to this server' errors. I look forward to seeing you on my new forums!

Wow, I had looked in the Advanced Settings before when I was searching for the fix for a strange happening on the forum - but I seriously didn't see it this time. I searched the "Style", "HTML", "Appearance" (whatever they are), but couldn't find it. I even thought to look and see if maybe it was just your template - it wasn't. But I'm glad you got the arcade, nice job.

And I might join the HN Forums at a later date - right now I'll be worrying about the Eric Nylund interview <--me sick with fear.
