First off id like to say i love this script. Yea it may have a few bugs but it makes it more fun for me adding new features and changing things around.

So right now im using a free website host while i work on the site and after its complete im buying a web host. The URL is monster arcades (http://monster-arcades.com/) obviously this is temporary because im on the free host but once i upgrade it ill just change the link in the post. Let me know what you guys think.

thanks in advanced

Happens to everyone - Looks maybe like a cache-refresh problem?

The arcade html mark up has a whole lot of problems and if you like I'll help where I can. As in your home page has 135 warnings! :(

For a start your "search block" has only added to it. Try having a play with this.

:
<?php
if($seo_on == 1){
$su ''.$domain.'/'.$directorypath.'/search/';
}else{
$su ''.$domain.'/'.$directorypath.'/index.php?action=search';
}
echo 
'
<form action="'
.$su.'" method="post">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="header2">Search</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="content2">
<div align="center" style="padding: 5px; white-space: nowrap;">
<input type="text" name="keyword" style="width:140px" value="Search" /> <input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
'
;
?>

Thanks mort, it works great and looks better then my old one because it got rid of the stupid black box around it. Im not all that great with php so a lot of my code is noobish.

You're welcome!

But I can see it's a little too wide for your style. :(

Have a play with adjusting this to 130 etc:

style="width:140px" until it is the same width as the rest of the column.

That's one reason I tend to set the cache life to 1 second when I'm troubleshooting lol.

However, when just doing things in the admin section, it really should have been coded to update the cache when changing things. It wasn't, my bad, my apologies.

wow..... 133 error, 9 warnings, 5 404 errors for image links. This is just the beginning of website checkers. Looks like i got a lot of work ahead. Though, one of the checkers showed me exactly what was wrong :) so that'll be easier to fix. I also found a few things i wanna change on my main site. I also need to finish my admin panel since mort showed me how to do it. However, once i finish the admin panel, i can upload all my edited files for an official release? or for anyone else who wants to have it. Time to have some fun.....

By all means please do upload it. We encourage people to develop and contribute. Not everything winds up in an official release for various reasons, but it may, and others may want it.

I've made so many changes to both the code and the html that I would have to upload the whole programme for others to pick through.

I may go back to a "Live" site just for the fun of it, as at the moment I only run on 127.0.0.1 for my grand kids to play with. So it makes it pretty hard for a demo of any kind. :(

Check out my template i just uploaded if you wanna help me out :)

Im trying to fix the errors myself but having some trouble.

Your theme is totally incompatible with what I have done to FAS. Apart from re-writing nearly every file and fixing up all of the errors (And there are hundreds of them) All the chrome I use is done with variables like so.

:
'.$TD1.' '.$l_general_message.' '.$TD2.'
<div class=\'msg\'>'.$l_game_deleted.'<br /><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="history.go(-1)">'.$l_go_back.'</a></div>
'.$TD3.'

And I don't really want to re-install basic FAS again just to go through fixing errors.

Sorry! ;)

Ok iv made a new theme. I believe its finished, i may make changes later. What do you guys think?

Wow! It resizes without breaking up - IE likes it, so what more could one be expected to do besides centre that menu!

Lol!

I'll be absolutely honest with you.

If IE likes it so do I - - - - And IE is harder to please than what I am. :)

But IMHO I wouldn't say it was finished - I look at it as being more like a work in progress. ;)

True true...

Also iv been trying to make IE support it the best i could, its very hard to make it support IE 8 but i believe that i fully supprto IE 9. Right now in IE 8, the search box freaks out when you go to play a game and then the right side bar and the nav bar freaks out on some page loads. However, soon there will be no use to support IE 8..... hopefully

XP users are not entitled to upgrade to IE9 so I suspect that IE8 will be around for a long time yet.

If you're having width problems with IE then you will possibly need to add this to your css in the parts that are breaking up.

width: whateverpx !important;
