First. I love the games section and applaude the addition to canadaka!
The Meat And Potatoes of the post.
For some reason when I finish a game now it returns me to the main game menu without adding my score. If I haven't played before, it
still shows a finished game as having not been played before. This just started a little bit ago (week at most), after I noticed the site down.
Now it seems to work fine during the day but at night 7:30pm or so I no longer can get scores posted. Same thing day after day. No amount of clearing the cache, or cookies, or rebooting has any effect. Any ideas?

I'll also mention that I've tried it in Firefox, Opera, and Maxthon/IE with the same effect. Each evening/night it won't save my scores. I haven't tested it our during the day every day, just a couple times (work most days) and it worked fine then. Also, someone else's PC is direct connected to mine (crossover) and we connect through dial-up 56K and they have no problem getting their scores posted anytime, although they play a lot less than I. I've played quite a bit, although much less than canucker!

Yeah I've been getting that alot also. Some games it will work, but usually it doesnt. Who knows.
im still not sure why this is happening, trying to figure it out
the only game that seems to total not work is "Mahjong Solitaire"
but i changed a setting .... ****might*** work now...
Well I made sure that flash/java/shockwave are up to date in all browsers - dodging the yahoo toolbar as necessary.
Now, it is no longer intermittant. I can no longer get a score saved at all in any of Opera/Firefox/IE/Maxthon.
My wife absolutely has no problem when she's logged in - although as said above, she's on a different PC (much less memory, slightly faster processor) and is using Firefox only - and her connection goes through my PC.
In case anyone can help troubleshoot this, some more info.
It doesn't matter if my wife or I are logged into my PC, it will not save scores at all anymore.
On my wife's PC, her scores are always saved and if I log in on hers, only the games that automatically submit high scores (as opposed to the ones with 'SUBMIT' buttons) will keep high scores.
Hopefully it ends up being something simple to change in a browser.... Hopefully someone comes up with an answer.

i fear it might just be the amount of load on the server at the time the game tries to submit the score, if it doensn't submit within a certain time it fails. but i don't have a way to deny or confirm this theory atm.
