I've changed a setting for the Arcade Scoreboards.
Only user's highest score is now displayed. I done this after a few frustrated people mentioned how annoying it can be playing a game non-stop for ages, and still only managing to just make the top 60 because of the amount of higher scores submitted by slightly, or more than slighty better players.
Now people who aren't quite yet upto reaching the top scores can at least appear higher up in the scoreboards.
The only down-point being regular players now have to beat their personal best scores for their score to be changed and possibly move up the scoreboard. But in a way, that's a good thing anyway, so the good points outweight the bad for me, so, done :D
Note that there are some bugs in this features because it wasn't complete when the VB3 Arcade was released, but its nothing hugely important in my opinion. And all bugs will hopefully be fixed soon when the feature is fully released.
The known bugs are:
01. If you play a game and your score is submitted, all scores will be viewable below until you have submitted your comment.
02. If you record a new personal best score, the comment, time and date achieved, and amount of seconds the score was achieved in are likely to be shown wrong. It's likely to display those details for the first ever score you achieved on that game.
03. When viewing a High Scores list, there will be more pages viewable than necessary. The feature doesn't cut out un-needed pages where results used to be before the feature was enabled.
As I said, the Arcade will be updated whenever possible to fix these bugs.
