Want more games? it can be done by adding the game html code to a new board insert the game html code into the new boards description field and put the name in the field above that and save the game will now appear on your forum page, this will also work for your blogs as well.

So in other words, if I found a Harry Potter game I wanted to add to my forum, I can do what you just said? But if so, will you explain what to do? I dont get a single word of what you said.LOL

Ok goto to your "Admin" now on the right scroll down to where it says Forum under that you will see Boards go there, now create a new category name it Featured Game and add the category, next goto the new category under full name put the name of your new game below that in the description field put the games html code that you get from the game site I posted and copy and paste it in that field check your "Allowed Groups" and save thats it. check out my site to have a look that might help I already have two games there on my front page. if you still need help I will post a guide hope this helps

If you are using a swf file, you can use the the YouTube setup also.  Just host the swf on a photobucket acct.  It then will be a flash file and you can post the url in the same place as the you tube.

Just a tip...you want to be careful how many games you add at one time if they are on your "main" forum page because it causes the initial forum to load slower. If you make a child board and put the game code in "that" desciption box, it wont slow the overall forum down any because the game itself its not having to load everytime the homepage of your forum loads - just when they go into the childboard itself.

Thats right sometimes I forget about that I use broadband, you can however minimize the board.

well um......one of the harry potter games I want on my forums is here: http://www.surfnetkids.com/games/bus_driving.htm .....do you think I could add that game to my forum? Im just wondering....

[Kimmie]

Not unless you have the code for the game that lets you embed it onto your forum. Try clicking on the "Share" link thats listed under the game and see if it gives you an embedding code for it. (most of the time those share links mean: you insert your friends email addresses and then they email the link to the page to them - but its worth a shot). I'd check it for you but im not registered on that site.

[Hermione47]

Well Im not registered on that site either!LOL but Maybe if I restart my computer, go back to that game and keep my mouse clicked down on the game then it might say something like open in link or something like that.....then it will open up in a new window and the link will be there...but I dont think that will work:(

No that wont work. You will have to have the actual code used to embed the game. If the site that the game is on, doesnt offer it, you wont be able to get it.

<embed src="http://pdl.warnerbros.com/harrypotter/us/webring/knightbus.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="450" quality="high" menu="false" bgcolor="#000000"></embed>
That's the embed code for the game.(View the page's source from time to time. If you are using firefox, select the part and right-click>view selection source. You'll get the code hassle freely, lol.)

If the site does not "offer" the embed code for the game to its members, I wouldnt advise doing this. Thats the same as stealing an image without permission.

On top of which it is stealing their bandwidth because you would be using their hosting.
