You need to adjust your site so it looks better on larger resolutions

The actual interface and all looks good, but don't you think doing the html on your server takes up a bit of bandwidth? Nice idea, and it seems interesting about how it will compete with others like blijol(sorry for bad spelling).

Oh, and dont you think using VBscripts is cheating? smile.gif

Thanx for the comments... I didn't get what you were saying about "blijol". About the VB Code, I'm just creating a VB Script file and executing it to send a HTTP request that really does the score submitting job. wink1.gif Thats all.

Important thing here is VEX doesn't require you to know a single line of code. It takes care of all the PHP as well as MySQL. New users can just use the GM library. All you need to do is copy the HTML code to your website... Now isn't that easy.

@Mordi
Isn't that wonderful... There will be loads of people like you who would want to create Online HighScore... All of them will be able do that in like you said "half a minute"!! wink1.gif

No you dont, since it justs writes a vbscript file then uses execute_program to load wscript.exe to run the script. You need pro. for gex, i think. (boy, how long has it been since i was un-registered)

I was trying to clear my scoreboard by submitting 10 scores at points "0" and none gets submitted. Cant it be at 0? Also, it froze my game one of the times. Just so you know.

Well, I'm not going to judge between this and GM Highscore, as I've never had the need to try either, but VEX sounds like a name that's been used before.

Every popular TLD for Vex has been taken, so yeah, I think it has.

Freehostia is down. Is this common, or is this a one-time thing? mellow.gif

Freehostia sometimes goes down when they are updating their cp with new features or fixing a glitch in the servers.

Just so you know, Freehostia is up and running... And so is VEX. I'll check out the "0" score thing.

EDIT:
Fixed it!
Now you can add scores equal to 0 as well.

Ok, nice. smile.gif

Found a bug: In the "Manage my table" thing, one score doesnt show up. The score shows up on the scoreboard, but in the manager. If it has any meaning: The score is -1.
