I don’t know what in the nuts you did to the site, but my requests are QUICK now.  They used to lag a bit (downloads were screaming) but the request for the addresses would be latent.  I always assumed a dirty fiber at an FDP or something…this is great.  Thanks @randr!

@randr in incognito (not logged in) Download page (https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/) loads 3.88 sec, when logged in – still 20 sec., so the problem is only for logged users. 

It’s 07:40 in the morning here. Sadly I see only a little difference. As I wrote in the morning the siteloads are always a little faster.
So I will see later, if there are differences.
But thanks for your work @randr.

@joey2001 made some changes and temporarily removed many features of site for testing. See if its any better. Site should load much faster if your logged out as there is a 2 hour cache delay for non logged in users.

WOW @randr its much faster now! A big difference. Thanks! 

@randr

Is there a chance that the page will load faster at some point?
Pageviews have been very, very slow for months.
For me it’s the best pinball site out there. So I really regret the slow loading.
Downloads work well and quickly.
It also doesn’t matter whether I surf with a PC, tablet or smartphone and whether I surf with the browser or the…[Read more]

@randr Very nice! Thanks!

@randr yep, add another file button works now. However shouldn’t there be a delete or remove file button as well next to each file?

@randr, as always thankyou sir, we would never have this amazing place to “hang out” if it wasn’t for you.  Hopefully 2021 will be the year of Hayburners!!!

@thalamus, happy New Years bro, always great to have you around.  Question, it’s still 2020 here, does 2021 suck so far as bad as 2020 did???  I can’t imagine it getting any better any t…[Read more]

I totally get it @thalamus, I am the last person that wants to discourage people from Building tables.  I just want to see people push themselves.  Right after Pennant Fever, I was talking to @randr about my next table or two and I remember something he told me when I was listing all the tables that I wanted to build.  He said if you just pump ou…[Read more]

I just sent an email to IPDB asking where the submitted pics are.  I suspect the site is barely maintained and managed by those that don’t have a lot of energy for it anymore.  I’m sure I’ll hear back from them promptly and I’ll suggest they let @randr take the site over.  He seems to have lots of time on his hands lately ;)

This community has a very wide range of knowledge when it comes to the real machines. Sometime, they do add oddities to the tables, like JP did for Captain Fantastic, small changes, but different. Very often though, you don’t get to the “gems” without reading … in most cases the 50 or so first lines of the table script. Authors, may, hide or put…[Read more]

Good for them! The foot pedal idea is great and could be used for those who only have one arm / hand and can’t play pinball any other way.

Doesn’t help with nudging but good on them for trying something.

Our local arcade put up barrier between tables and has cleaning stations at each…[Read more]

…that’s odd, because @randr made the table specifically to need NO resources for UltraDMD, so there’s no folder needed for that. Do you have ScoreType set to 1 at the top of the script? Setting it to 2 or 3 specifically invokes PinUpPlayer.

Sorry for the multiple updates.  @randr is going to accuse me of trying to boost my download numbers.

Uploaded version 1.1a. – Fixed a bug on the new drop targets that allowed side hits to drop the target.

What I like to know is simply why he states that the table doesn’t work. It isn’t ages since I played it last. Once I learned the rules, I started enjoying it more. Goe…
