For some reason, I can't log-on when I play games as I have Chrome. However, I can access games when I log-off. I'd like to be able to register my scores. However, I've seen such silly scores as they don't rate them individually, but rather the scores can go into the thousands. Some games will register a daily score, but many don't. |

Talk about game scores. Holy hanna, some of them are so high I feel imptotent as I cannot come close to matching them. The only game I can almost beat the high scorer is "52 pickup". Almost, but not quite. grrrrrrr! LOL So, there is normally a problem with posting and such in these forums? I thought the problem was me! |

Try using Firefox as your browser. I had and still have trouble using Safari (Apple's web browser) as I have an Apple iMac. Firefox doesn't cause a problem. I have also heard of people having trouble with this web site and Chrome. You have to be registered on the web site for your scores to post and only the top ten daily, weekly, all-time scores post on their respective lists. With Firefox, I have had no problem with score posting, game playing, or posting to the forum. Apple explained to me that this web site probably uses antiquated technology and that Safari as a web browser moves too FAST for the web site. Maybe Chrome moves too fast also. I do notice that things move a little slower with Firefox. |

Maybe for you it has been repaired but I still don't understand why the Leader Board does not change through out the day regardless of how may games you play aor how high you score. How does the scoring for the Leader Board work> I asked this question severa times no one as answer. I kow how you ear points for the game but what trigger the Leader Board, I can be playing at midnight when the Leader Board scores resets, I clear all the cards, scores 1777 for that game I get on the Leader Board for a blink of an eye and other players post scores of 3000 and up in the same blink of an eye. So who can post an answer? Thanks in advance. |

I don't know about the game you play but on at least three of the games I do know. On blackjack, 5 roll, and outdraw poker, the top ten scores are posted for the day. Only the top ten post so if your score is below the tenth highest score, it will not post. If your score is good enough to be in the top ten for the day and also the top ten for the week, it will post in both places. Additionally, if you score so high as to be in the top ten all time scores, it will post in all three places. The daily scores reset around midnight each night (that's what they were having trouble with last week), the weekly scores reset each Sunday night around midnight each week, and the all time scores stay on the board forever until someone beats the posted scores. |

Thanks, nctarheel . I play Spider Solitaire and clear the board. My highest one game score is 1777 each game i score between 1400-1700 each game. I don't play everyday but I do play for a few hours when I do, so, I want to know what is the criteria for making the Leader Board. I know how the scoring for the game works and also, the Leader Board daily, weekly, and all time but once it post at midnight it doesn't change throughout the day. |

Well, the leader boards are changing now but you have to get a top ten score. The problem they were having last week and the reason for this discussion and one other discussion about the IT staff is that the leaderboards were not changing as you noticed. That problem was alleviated a couple of days ago. The daily leader board is not resetting at exactly midnight but a few minutes thereafter. |
