So... I went to add a game to the gamelist here and ended up on a mostly blank page with the standard bars and links and logo along the top and sides, but nothing but the plain text "Hacking attempt" where the forms for uploading a game would normally be.

Anybody know what's going on? Site problems? Weird random glitch? An actual hacking attempt that put the site in some sort of no-posting/no-uploading panic mode and it hasn't been completely un-panicked yet?

I've seen that message before a few times. I think it's just a random occurrence. I think it indicates some error checking failed, maybe due to an invalid cookie, due to a timeout. Does it still happen if you try again?

It's happening every time I click "add game." Tried it just now, same result. Refreshed the page (including with CTRL+F5 to make sure it's not just reloading a cached version) and the same thing's happening for me every time.

Hmm, happens to me too.

I found that the 'game' parameter needs to be given.
So the following link works to add a new game: http://castleparadox.com/game.php?mode=new&game=0

However, I can't understand why it used to work and stopped working.

Thanks! That definitely worked. And yeah... that is really odd that it would randomly break like that. I don't know enough about how the site is put together to even make much of a guess as to what would cause that to happen.

I PM'd Cube and he fixed the problem. Thanks Cube!
He doesn't know why it would stop working either.
