First off i would like to say a massive thanks to Martin64 for hosting and also being the main reason why the forums and sites run so smooth, one of the best hosts you can get.

We have now upgraded to a newer version of vbulletin with new features galore and better security.

The stats and news feeds look much better and now the latest threads have reply and view numbers for those who love statistics.

We also now have a Members World Map (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/worldmap.php) which shows where our members come from in any place of the world, a very cool addition :)

The next big news is a new feature thats coming to all Network sites and thats a feature where on each site you will see your avatar and any private messages and if you have new ones etc, a damn cool addition to the sites especially if you are a member.

its being beta tested on the PSP News Site (http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/)in the right hand column at the bottom, once we get the bugs sorted then it will go live.

Now onto the new DCEmu Arcade (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/arcade.php), a new addition to the forums and network, heres the list of games at this moment in time:

Retro Duck Hunt
Retro Pacman
Advanced Curveball
Tetris
Chopper Challenge
Monkey Cliff Diving
Space Invaders
Helicopter
Asteroids
Snake

Youll need to join the forums but its a small price to pay for such fun and it will be interesting to see who will be the champions :)

Thats all for now, enjoy the forums and arcade :)

I can't access the Arcade. It gave me this message:

**cdrdj, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. **

Do i need to do something else to play?

The private messages feature is very useful. It should be moved higher up though, so you don't have to scroll to see it. And the arcade is a good addition, too :).

Just changed to that people who haven't verified their account yet (there are 14 000 of you :p) also are able to play, so there should be no more access errors. :)

Martin you and the whole community bring so much to us, I can't even begin to thank you. This is great, from starting the website and building into something incredible in a certain amount of time. I appreciate the arcade, I'm going to try for a high score onw, I'll let you guys know what I get.

Oops, Guess i'm not verified. I signed up a long time ago so i guess i've forgotten to verify. How can I do it?

Anyways, Thanks for the Arcade. I love what this does with community involvement and it's also really fun. THANKS A LOT

Champion of the helicopter course, got a score around 1180 something. Not to bad, but there's always someone out there to kick me up from my spot.

The arcade has already become so popular I had to change so it only shows each user's top score for every game, it became too cluttered. :)

I gotta hand it to you guys who are top scorers in the LONG games like Space Invaders. You will probably never see me on there since it takes so much time!

Anyways, THIS ARCADE THING IS FUN. I love challenging scores. As of this writing I have 4 trophies. By Next day, i'll probably have 1, if any at all. That's what makes it so fun for me!! Keep up the Awesome Work!!

The site's really comming along! These are some nifty features you've got going!

I've noticed just a couple of things since these new features were released though. Links to forum postings from the newsposts display section of the front page no longer automatically open in a new window. Same for "latest topics" links. I also thought it was cool with the previous version how when you'd click on a "latest topic" link that you'd already read, how it would attempt to jump down to the last post that you read. It was real handy for staying on track.

I don't know how many other people possibly miss these features, but I sure do (!_!) I usually browse from Safari, and you have to use a hot key + mouse click combination to open links in new windows, so it gets kind of annoying having to constantly reach for the keyboard just for that...
