Fixed the links for Bob escapes and Foggy dawn in the database. They send you to Archive.org now.
It doesn't fix the games themselves though  Go play something else.

Hello
I have tried to add my new hame to the AGS database.  I have twice completed the form and clicked 'ADD GAME', and both times the form disappeared and nothing more happened.  I have tried searching for my new game but it is not found.  What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,
elentgirl

Uhm, I just posted my game twice. Anyone can block/delete the latest entry?

The reason I did, was that after posting I got this error msg:

The file (/var/www/adventuregamestudio.co.uk/public_html/includes/gamesrss.xml) is not writable.

Game added! Redirecting in three seconds.

And then I reloaded the page...which resulted in a posting double.

Now that I´m here, how do I find the forum thread number? The url doesn't show it anymore.

Done.

The reason I did, was that after posting I got this error msg:

The file (/var/www/adventuregamestudio.co.uk/public_html/includes/gamesrss.xml) is not writable.

Game added! Redirecting in three seconds.

And then I reloaded the page...which resulted in a posting double.

I got the same error message when I disabled the entry.

Now that I´m here, how do I find the forum thread number? The url doesn't show it anymore.

I think we need the help of @AGA with that and the mysterious error message.

Top left of each thread, there's a button with a # symbol.  This'll give you the old-school link, like https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=58575.new#new for this one.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work.
Clicking on it does nothing, hovering the mouse over the button does nothing as well. The button "Go Down" right next to it, works just fine when I click and shows me the URL when I hover over it.

Actually clicking it copies the link to the clipboard, and there is no visual cue to it, so it seems to be "doing nothing".
You can press Ctrl-V to paste the link afterwards.

I've been trying to add my game "Sarimento on Hyperborean Island" multiple times, and I've filled in all the required fields.  But every time I've hit the add game link, it just shows a blank page.  No error message or anything.  When I get out and go back to the games list, my game isn't added!  What gives?!

[AGA]

This game https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2774-brownie-s-adventure-2/ was added less than two hours ago, which suggests there's something specific about what you're trying to add.

Could you please copy and paste here the exact contents of the form as you're trying to submit?

[DBoyWheeler]

Game Name: Sarimento on Hyperborean Island.

Game Description: A game I made for, and about, Sarimento (a friend on Gaia Online).

Sarimento crashlands on the wintry Hyperboreon Island, and underneath the peaceful exterior, people are in fear.  Help Sarimento restore people's faith in their fellow man, and deal with those who are causing trouble to them.

This game uses a verb coin.  Left click on certain targets will bring up the verb coin, or if there's an item in use, will interact with the item.  Right click will bring up the inventory or, if the cursor is currently an item, will revert it back to the regular cursor.  Click on the computer button on the upper right of the screen to bring up the system menu to change the volume or game speed; save, load, etc.

Ah, it's because that isn't a valid completed games announcement ID; you seem to have used the *message* ID, but it's the thread ID you need.

To fix this, click the # icon at the top left of a thread to find its ID: "https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=58575.new#new" in this case.  You'll see the ID is five digits, rather than the nine digits you tried to use.

FINALLY it's uploaded!  (Sheesh, why must everything be such an effing hassle?!)

Thanks for the help!
