randr Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Does anyone know why the most popular site for digital pinball don't allow the best frontends gamecard to display? Is it a size issue? formatting issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Do you know what their sig restrictions are offhand? Are you getting an error in the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think it might be because the server is running on https. I already did mention it to Noah. Please contact him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neohusky Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Could it be that some gamecards show pplNow playing tables that are prohibited on Paul's site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That wouldn't matter, it's a static image generated by the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les73gtx Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 the exact error says that "unable to retrieve size of image, please choose a different file" I have also sent Paul a PM and his reply was to ask what the is the size of the game card. I replied within one minute with the dimensions and that was over a week ago .... ... .. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtxjoe Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I tried this in the past also. We can't get past the signature image check for some reason. Gstav somehow managed this during the early stages of the beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Maybe it has something to do with the redirect?The image is drawn on the server when you go to that url, probably a .htaccess thing. Maybe it's trying to bypass the redirect somehow or doesn't like the redirect (or doesn't allow https connections)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Like I said, I think its because its on https/ssl. His server is probably blocking outgoing https. I did mention this to him a while back but he might have missed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Also note that the image for your game card as posted here : http://online.gameex.com/gamecards/pinballx/les73gtx___atomicpin-pc.png Redirects to: https://online.gameex.com/gamecards/pinballx/les73gtx___atomicpin-pc.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtxjoe Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I was messing around with wget on my pc to setup a batch job that will copy my gamecard to a local webserver which I can use with VPForums. I got the wget image download working but only if I add the "--no-check-certificate" option, so maybe this is why vpforums is failing. Yes, the https is also an issue, so using the http links are a must for the url and image links.DID NOT WORKD:\GetPinballXSig>wget -O .\pinballx\gtxjoe___srt8.png "http://online.gameex.com/gamecards/pinballx/gtxjoe___srt8.png" --2014-09-07 21:56:55-- http://online.gameex.com/gamecards/pinballx/gtxjoe___srt8.pngResolving online.gameex.com (online.gameex.com)... 162.216.114.165Connecting to online.gameex.com (online.gameex.com)|162.216.114.165|:80... connected.HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved PermanentlyLocation: https://online.gameex.com/gamecards/pinballx/gtxjoe___srt8.png [following] --2014-09-07 21:56:55-- https://online.gameex.com/gamecards/pinballx/gtxjoe___srt8.pngConnecting to online.gameex.com (online.gameex.com)|162.216.114.165|:443... connected.ERROR: cannot verify online.gameex.com's certificate, issued by '/C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=GoDaddy.com, Inc./OU=http://certs.godaddy.com/repository//CN=Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2': Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.To connect to online.gameex.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

Tom Speirs Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Please try the following (rather than scraping my server, which against TOU), I've allowed access on http nowInstead of linking to https://online.gameex.com (Which you should be doing, I notice some of you are still linking to http which redirects)Replace https://online.gameex.com with http://http.online.gameex.comI expect this will work. Let me know. Ill update the app shortly to show the new link, just reinstalling my PC right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
