Lynx, we have launched and almost immediately got a null value on one of the very first participants. I was able to use the new feature and clear their data knocking them off the leaderboard. I have not yet seen them click again to see what happens next but thought I'd let you know.

If you could, get their browser and version number and keep a list in case it happens again. This is going to need to be narrowed down to see if it's a specific browser, or if I've got to look elsewhere.

Thanks.

it has happened to three members already. I will ask that of all of them.

I use an image rotator so it'll be a different image everytime somebody refreshes the page or finds a new one. And it loads alongside with the "item pick-up"

That sounds very interesting. Could you please explain a little more, share the code and let us know where to put it?

Thanks in advance!

Easy pesy, just make an account here
www.randimg.net/
make a file, then upload/drag all the images you wish for the Scav to show in bottom box after uploading on site in top box.
Then use the link for that specific file in where you normally place the candy url img.

Refresh the page and look at my avatar, it'll be a bunch of fall themed pixel items... it'll change everytime you refresh the page.

Thanks, Ginger !

I tried to follow the instructions, inserted 10 images, selected a tag name, copied a link to the url image position and refreshed the page. But no image shows up on the forum pages, although the indicator shows a prize, so I must have done something wrong somewhere.

Looking at you page source, you still have the candy GIF as the object to find. After you copied the link from randimg, did you paste it into the Image URL field in the plugin and save?

[Tix Mascot]

Yes, Lynx, I reinserted the candy when the rotator link obviously didn't work so that the game could continue. I can try it one more time now to make sure that it wasn't just a temporary glitch yesterday.

Negative. Same as before. Here is the link to the Randimg pile that I created if that is of any help:

I would say it's an issue with your link - I clicked it and it took me to a blank page.

NOTICE:

I've updated my OP with a link to the source codes (JS and CSS) for the plugin. The CSS file let's you see what classes are in use for your own styling, if wanted.

- scavenger_hunt.js - The JavaScript source code
- sh_styling.css - The CSS used in the plugin

Tix Mascot - I know you had inquired about the plugin not being an open build anymore, as you had changed some of the CSS for your own styling. The CSS file on my GitHub page has the entire CSS component used in the plugin so you can see what the classes are if you want to change the styling again. You just need to put the CSS changes in your stylesheet (or global header) instead of changing it in the plugin (since it's no longer an open build).

Question, could you link the actual imgur image it is suppose to be showing? For some reason the imgur itself appears to be 1 white pixel or just flat out transparent....

Also not sure just true randomization or just bad luck... or truly just 1 image. But when I paste the link to a page itself, always comes up the same img code.

[does a Green checkmark sound familiar? maybe the animation taking too long to find it on the forum?..maybe that just the new V6 avatar default..... from it glitching...]

ps. I placed the link into my avatar, so you can show it or test it out on here... see if the file is working.

[Tix Mascot]

Lynx, thanks! I'll have a closer look at it later, but details like colour and border aren't important unless someone asks for changes. LOL

Ginger, thanks for trying to help me. I put 10 images into the rotator: The original candy + 9 emojis from a couple of smiley sites, but I don't think that any of them were Imgur.

It's really not a big deal, but it would have been nice to offer our members this cool 'party trick'.

News/update:

I found another 'rotator' site that now works fine on the Heretix Forum, namely sig.grumpybumpers.com/.

And here is the link to my pile in case you should want to try it out: sig.grumpybumpers.com/host/drit.gif

Have a nice weekend, folks!

Tix Mascot and ginger , I'm considering giving this a try.

1. How many images can you load?

2. Do they only appear randomly, or can you set it to change to just one new image every 24 hours (or any admin-specified timeframe)?  Ideally I'd like to load like 10 images, and display a unique new image every day. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Lynx , we have been running a week, so I thought I'd report our "Null" experience.

Here are the members who got them. The purple color are from Losing It, and the blue from Refugees. Those that don't say which browser and version are members who I can't get to respond to my questions.
