What you do is click on the down arrow next to the forward button. Then click on Armor Games. If you've got any questions, ask them on my page.

Brandon816 says:
Posted at 5:57pm on 2/27/2008
I am using IE 7 and windows XP SP2.
I've noticed two problems. The first is that nearly every time that I visit armorgames, about the time that everything finishes loading on the main page there is a popup that says:
{
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://armorgames.com/.
Operation aborted
}
Once this popup occurs, the page cannot be clicked on until the popup is closed, at which point the page reverts to a default "page cannot be displayed" webpage. This is fixed by visiting the website again, or just refreshing the page, but the problem will occur again the next time that armorgames is visited after a while has passed. Also, just before that popup occurs, my popup blocker says that a popup was blocked, although it doesn't whenever the page loads normally (after refreshing). I'm not sure if this is related or not.
The second problem is that a game doesn't load. It's as if the page loads normally, but the area where the game would be isn't there, and the advertisements that would be right above and below it are right next to each other, with very little space between them. This happens only sometimes, but as in the previous problem, refreshing the page usually fixes it.
Juicy_apple says:
Posted at 10:37pm on 3/16/2008
I have the exact same problems but I use AT&T Yahoo (not Dialup) but when I have the "page cannot be displayed" popup I have to go back and retype in the address bar, than it usually works. But what is really interesting is the page that comes up after that has the adress bar http://armorgames.com/ , or the homepage. I also have the problem w/ the game not loading. But a quick refresh (once or twice) will do the trick
magnetrude says:
Posted at 7:01pm on 2/27/2008
For me when I get to the site everything starts coming. Then a pop-up pops up and says this site cannot be found. Then it goes to the 404 page. If I click refresh or type the site again it comes up. A different pop-up comes up for about 2 seconds about some error and then dissapears... nowhere to be found.

Creapofluigi says:
Posted at 10:14am on 2/29/2008
I don't really have a problem, but sometimes I just see the 2 sponsors above and under the flash game, and not the flash game itself.
I just gotta refresh then.
Oh and with one game (don't know the game anymore) It's just not working, just a black screen, but all the other people CAN play it. It's not quite a problem. (I've got IE version 6 I think)
NearINTJ says:
Posted at 4:21pm on 2/29/2008

A lot of the games at the top of the main page doesn't load for me and this big text covers the top part of the site:
"Warning: Error establishing mySQL database connection. Correct user/password? Correct hostname? Database server running? in /chroot/home/armorga1/armorgames.com/html/application/class.Mysql.php on line 84
Warning: mySQL database connection is not active in /chroot/home/armorga1/armorgames.com/html/application/class.Mysql.php on line 116"
It also stands with smaller text just above the Armor Games logo, at the blue background. When I scroll down however, the site is normal. I use IE 7.

I think the problem uccors when the browser doesnt show you that its loading, sometimes it may help if you wait till it is loaded, and then the games uccors, othervise i just refresh the page and it works, most of the time. I use IE 7 on my xp computer, and thats what i experiensed.

orobouros says:
Posted at 9:54am on 3/12/2008
I think I finally found it.
In IE7, Win XP, SP2:
If you load a game page in any tab EXCEPT the first one, the game flash object does not load at all, ever. The rest of the game page, ads, comments, etc., loads just fine. Refreshing does not help, at all.
If you load the game page in the 1st available browser tab, the game flash object still fails to load perhaps 25% of the time, but always loads within a maximum of 2 refreshes.
I've tested this extensively and the size or nature of the game does not seem to matter.
orobouros says:
Posted at 9:58am on 3/12/2008
Sorry, that's XP Pro, SP2.
Also, I have checked for slow loading (as opposed to no-loading), and that's not what's happening. There's no browser activity, no network connection activity, and if you leave the (game-empty) game page open overnight, the flash object still hasn't appeared hours later.
orobouros says:
Posted at 3:25pm on 3/12/2008
Also, nearly 2 months since re-launch and it takes you that long to notice that you have "several complaints"? As in, over half your user base up and left because your site just plain didn't work, AT ALL?
Epic fail, sorry. Try harder to pretend that you care next time.
