Re: New user registration is not acknowledged

Garry, I've activated the user.

We are working on the problem. It seems to be down to configuring the mailserver to Gmail's liking, so it's a question of finding out what Gmail wants.

Re: Authoring System Not Currently Showing

Thank you Hannes.

As a preliminary test I've re-added Inform to Forgotten Pyramid, and Adventuron to Goblin Decathlon, TastyBun Burgers, Unhallowed, and Peanut Butter, as mentioned in this thread (I could not find The Beast). Let's hope that the systems stick.

Re: How to make empty tape file for zx spectrum

Alex, for ZXSpin under the Recording menu choose Tape Recording > Insert Tape for Saving, then choose where you want to save the file and give it a name, remembering to give it the tape image extension you desire. After that go back to the Spectrum program and let it save the game.

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted

Thanks Garry.

Given the site's problems I don't think it wise at present to merge the duplicate entries, so I have only retitled the Kim O'Bryan game (after first checking the Internet Archive to make sure that the game never had a System entry).

Re: Title and in game music in text adventures

Pimania had a "free hit single" [*] on the B side of the cassette. :D

[*] Also labelled "free appalling hypnotic disco theme music!"

Re: Sunbmissions not being processed

Yes, there is still a problem with the authoring system ( viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1817 ).

I don't know if the cause has been found, let alone any time scale in fixing the problem. Until then submissions can be made but only resources such as maps, solutions, hints, and screenshots can be added to an ...

T'was a Time of Dread - date issue

This is one of two questions posed by Smartgenes, if anyone (Strident?) can clarify the matter then please do so below.


I noticed what looks like a mistake on CASA:
T'was a Time of Dread (https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C561/T'was+a+Time+of+Dread.html) is listed as 1991, but the 2nd game of ...

Re: No longer receiving email notifications


I too have quite a few submissions which do not appear to be getting processed. Is there a problem with the administrators being notified of submissions?

No, the problem relates to part of the database no longer working properly - see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1817 .

Re: Board quota for attachments has been reached

I've deleted my one "Adventure Challenge" attachment (so long my attempt at a 'most devious challenge' picture).

Mostly thanks to everyone else who has deleted attachments the size of posted attachments is currently down to 15.54 MiB.

Re: Board quota for attachments has been reached


I guess it should help if we remove the adventure challenge. This post has the most attachments and I guess nobody is reading it any longer.

It would help but only if we can remove it without creating orphan attachments. (See https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.1/ug/adminguide/attach ...
