Topic: Kongregate / Better Kongregate Firefox Add-on [UPDATED: Jan 13, 2012]

Just click the install button and you’ll be able to install it anyway.

Topic: Kongregate / Better Kongregate Firefox Add-on [UPDATED: Jan 13, 2012]

There shouldn’t be any compatibility issues with Firefox 10 (especially because starting with FF10, extensions are marked compatible by default).
If you’re experiencing any specific problems, please report them here.

Topic: Technical Support / AdBlocker

Allowing googletagservices.com or google-analytics.com should be enough. Or you could just run a user script which sets googletag.pending = false;… :P

Topic: Technical Support / Connecting To Chat

In addition to what Zshadow asks, it’d be great to know if you have any Kong-related userscripts/extensions installed (if so, please check if the chat loads when disabling them).

Topic: Technical Support / Linux issues

Either try using your keyboard (i.e. tab and space) to navigate the dialogue, or alternatively run flash-player-properties, tab “Storage”, click “Local Storage Settings by Site” and set chat.kongregate.com to unlimited there. If flash-player-properties isn’t installed, use Flash’s Website Storage Settings instead.

Topic: Technical Support / My android doesn't support the mobile version of kongregate !

Unfortunately, it looks like the LG Optimus Hub E510 has an ARMv6 CPU (the MSM7227 Turbo, to be precise), whereas Flash (and as a consequence Kongregate Arcade) require an ARMv7 CPU, so it’s not supported on your device.

There are inofficial Flash versions for ARMv6 CPUs out there, but I’d be careful with those, since they’re from dubious sources and not officially supported (which is why I won’t link to such a version).

Topic: Technical Support / 2 Mute Related Bugs

2. is because the chat loads the data which users you have muted on pageload, which means if you mute someone out of chat, you’ll have to refresh the page for it to take effect (or as you mentioned just mute them inside the chat).

Topic: Technical Support / Chat bug

You can either try using your keyboard (i.e. tab and space) to navigate the dialogue, or alternatively go to Flash’s storage settings, look for “chat.kongregate.com” in the list and set the slider to “Unlimited”.

Topic: Technical Support / Realm Of the Mad God Chat Room

Does the URL you use to browse to the game by any chance have a # in it? If so, can you delete the part of the URL that starts with the # (including it)?
E.g. if the URL looks like http://www.kongregate.com/games/Wild_Shadow/realm-of-the-mad-god#chat_tab_pane, use http://www.kongregate.com/games/Wild_Shadow/realm-of-the-mad-god instead.

Topic: Kongregate / Better Kongregate Firefox Add-on [UPDATED: Jan 13, 2012]

I’ve updated the Fullscreen Chat script. I’ll talk to musicdemon about making a new BK release later this week.

*sigh* it would be nice if 3rd party script developers had advanced warning and access to a testing area.

Last I heard was that something like this should actually happen. That was a few months ago though, so I’d assume whoever would be responsible for this forgot about it.

Topic: Technical Support / Data gets deleted every time I close window

The only setting that takes effect when I close the window is deleting browser history.

Then make sure it doesn’t also delete your cookies when closing the browser, because since Flash 11 this includes deleting your LSOs (aka Flash savegames).

Topic: Technical Support / TipJar?

That happens automatically when the game is published.

Topic: Technical Support / Firefox Site Load Fatal Error

What happens when you try to access this link, is it cut off at the same spot? What happens in other browsers? Do you use a proxy?

Topic: Technical Support / Profile editing

Here’s the formatting guide (which is btw. linked in the reply box).

And there’s an “Edit post” button next to your avatar, so you don’t have to double post when you have a typo in one of your posts.

Topic: Technical Support / Joker's Carnival Glitch

“They’re innocent” is the correct answer to question 1. In your original post, you said you answered question 2 incorrectly, and then when visiting the page the next time, you were able to answer the question again – which is intended, as I wrote in my previous post.

Topic: Technical Support / Joker's Carnival Glitch

That’s actually intended: You’re able to answer the question again if your previous answer was wrong, that way everyone has the same chance of winning the prize, regardless of their Batman knowledge.

Topic: Technical Support / how do i delete a post?

You click “Edit post” (next to your avatar), and in the edit box at the top right is a red link which says “Delete post”.

Topic: Game Programming / [AS3] [Performance] Function call speed

Intel Core i5 M520 @ 2.40GHz (dual core).

Topic: Game Programming / [AS3] [Performance] Function call speed

With 64 bit Linux 3.0.3-custom x86 11.0.1.152 Release PlugIn I got these results:
Histogram one, histogram two

Not much difference to what you observed (except for your outlier for internal get).

Edit: Raw results

Topic: Technical Support / Kongregate Arcade not working

Flash 10 needs an ARMv7 CPU to run on an Android phone. The Galaxy Mini only has an ARMv6 CPU, so you won’t be able to install/run Flash 10.1 on it (here’s Adobe’s official list of Android phones that support Flash 10.1). And since the Arcade app needs Flash to work, it’s not supported by the Galaxy Mini.

Topic: Technical Support / Forums out of Whack?

It’s a bug in the stylesheet, which is exactly what that topic was about. The bug has been reported to the admins and will be fixed shortly.

Topic: Technical Support / forum glitch?

This has been reported to the admins and will be fixed shortly.

Topic: Technical Support / Mobile Version

You just upload it as a new game using the normal Upload a Game page. Just make sure to select “Mobile device” as target device near the top.

Topic: Technical Support / Black Screen/Can't finish Loading!

Which game? But for what it’s worth, I’ve noticed the same problem with multiple games (e.g. Escape From Puppy Death Factory and Soul Tax, which both would stop loading after about 5%), but the problem seems to have resolved itself by now (I guess restarting the browser might be worth a try).

Topic: Redshift / Bugs and glitches (old)

When starting the game, the loading screen stops at “FriendModule postinit” – regardless of the browser I try it with. It worked fine earlier today.
