Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

On updating a game entry, after logging in via the site, I noticed that I was listed under contributors as "Anonymous".

I will now try logging in first via the forum and see if that makes a difference.

Answer: it made no difference.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

(Edit. Beat me to it iamaran!)

Another "Anonymous" comment has appeared, this time for A.R.V.. I think the credit should be given to timwiser (I'm assuming timwiser and the game's co-author Tim A. Wiser are one and the same).

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

I don't know if it is related but when an account is activated and neither myself nor Jacob activates the account manually, "Anonymous" is shown as activating the account.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

I reckon the problem occurred after DannieGeeko rated a couple of games on the 27th (else why would they be credited to DannieGeeko?) so any game rated by Anonymous before then should be genuine.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

A quick comment test (since deleted) on a random game was attributed correctly to me so I guess things are back to normal. However the recent activity page credits Anonymous for rating The Eleventh Hour, is this correct or is this another attribution error?

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10

Auraes, the TRS-80 Color Computer Archive has a copy of the magazine, see https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/D ... 0Magazine/

Addendum
Oops! I misread the post, it's the game and not the magazine listing that you want.

Re: Catacombs

With the second change I have managed to score 250 out of 250, my thanks to LanHawk. However the mystery of the purple sphere remains, having gone to all the trouble in getting the sphere there appears to be no use for the thing. Also the zombie bug remains, the zombie can be dealt with before the ...

Re: Catacombs

I made the random number change and the dark hooded figure on horseback has turned up, plus the horse has delivered its present! Since I have had no success in getting past the web I will make the second change and see how things develop.

Re: Catacombs

Interesting, I will have to re-read through this thread to remind me of numerous things before I make any attempt on the game.

That said, if per LanHawk's post you are supposed to use the sword on the web and you cannot coat the sword to protect the sword in some way from the acid, are you instead ...

rkowalski, thanks. It's just a line of enquiry, I'm trying to clarify a few things that may or may not be of importance.

Re: New user registration is not acknowledged


It seems there's another problem with the backend; my account works fine on the forums but the main site gives me an authentication error.

This is a puzzle to me, I've checked various settings and cannot see anything that would cause a problem. Please try again, perhaps using https if you used ...
