As you might have noticed, the PHP system behind AudioGames.net has been spitting out some crazy warnings and notices here and there. Furthermore, the game database neglected to show any information about your precious audio games. What happened? Our server was  upgraded to PHP 5.4 which required some unforeseen updates to the AudioGames.net system.

Bit by bit, everything is reinstalled and the game pages should work again. The drop down list of the games at the bottom of the pages (Quick Links) does not work yet for some reason, and Sander/Sendermen is doing his best to find the line of code that omits some technical command we're not going to bore you with. So instead of hitting the Go!-button and obtaining empty pages, you can access the games via the game list: http://audiogames.net/list-games/ or via the game search page: http://www.audiogames.net/search-games/

Should you find anything odd, weird, scary, crazy, gobsmacking or just annoying, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.

By the way, Dark and I renamed some of the pages that used to be named 'archive'. We're not even sure why all games are stored in an archive instead of a game database, so as of today, these archives Are now 'games'. 'Search archive' has been renamed to 'search games' in the main menu.

Hey, if I could suggest something, I think i could have parcially found something that could at least temperarily help this situation with the quick links box. What I noticed was that if you use the game list, let's use superliam for this example, the game list sends a get request to
http://www.audiogames.net/db.php?action … =superliam
Whare as if I go from the quick links, we get
http://www.audiogames.net/db.php?id=superliam
So saying what i'm seeing, it looks like it's wanting the view keyword to be sent. Just a temperarily salution till you fix the php, you could add this line of code to the html forum section on the quick links area, right above whare you declare the combobox
<input type="hidden" id="action" name="action" value="view">
I don't know if it would work, but it's just a little idea. just trying to help, :d

Hi Samtupy,
Good thinking! Yes, that was exactly the problem, but the view variable still got neglected. I found another workaround and hope everything works.

I'm afraid it's still not working for me there Sander, I tried logging out from my account, but I got the same thing as before, nothing showing at all in the space  where the game's page should be when I use the combo, though the other links to the game pages still work fine.

With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

yes, the quick links box is still slightly broken. You don't have to use this of course, that's the first thing I want you to know is my intent is not to push anyone around here, but heres exactly what I did to my local code to make it work with the view thing. Heres the exact code you'd use, if you decide you wanna give this a shot here. <form action='db.php' method="get" id="SelfSubmit" onsubmit="this.submit();return false;" ><div><input type="hidden" id="action" name="action" value="view"><select name='id'><option value='Select'>select a game and click go!</option>... Anyway just trying to help, can't wait till it's fixed!

Looks good thus far. I have been a bit preoccupied as of late with my volunteer job, but everything's working on my end so far. I like the changes that you guys have implemented. Thanks and keep up the excellent work!
