Since the site verifies immediately your guesses, you won't have to scour the net for that particular picture.

I really like your topics, btw.
Seeing that I probably won't win anything as per usual, I won't drool over any of the prizes, but- it is nice of you, Shany!

| Deleted User | Ugh! It's happening again. The reason why I couldn't give Nik a proper go last time in the one genre I'm good at - RPG.
When I try to get into SEdy's site, I get this message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /home/www/superedy.awardspace.com/functions.inc on line 3
Too many connections
Can someone please help me?? :'(

Status : Offline | That message most likely means that the database engine driving Edy's site is overloaded, madam, probably because of an unusually high number of visitors. Likely it will clear up by itself during a lull.

Status : Online | JKing is right, the default number of max connections allowed by mysql is 151, even if the system administrator increased that number, it's always possible to overload the server with requests (including the ones of pages of other users). Professional sites have dedicated servers, so they don't run out of connections.
Unfortunately there seems to be rush hours, but it's not very predictable :-?

| Deleted User | Thanks, I got in now, and re-registered under a new (similar) name. I hope you don't mind that I did a bit of a practise run with the older trivia threads, Edy. :

There's a half point bonus for whoever guesses the most difficult picture (that is the picture with the least number of corrected answers).

Edy, with me it's not a case of forgetting my password, but when I try to access the login page, I get an error message:
Gateway Timeout
The following error occurred:
[code=GATEWAY_TIMEOUT] A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. Retry the request.
Please contact the administrator.
I keep getting a 504 gateway timeout....
...so I simply re-registered
Well, strangely enough I have no problems actually registering. It's the login that is the problem..

Some server takes too much time to answer back, if you refresh/reload your request should take a different route and work.
Yes, it's nice to see other people results real-time And the immediate verification means you don't have to scour the net for that particular image if you have a hunch.
As I already said in Adventure Gamer, picture number 6 is always googable and picture number 4 is not part of a screenshot, it's always from the front of the game box.

Yeah, I hate when that happens

| Deleted User | Ah, well. I've given up fighting with the log in function. Anyway, I've managed to get a few correct answers, though anonomously - while not logged in. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately : ) no-one will ever know...
Ah, no worries - I already own all the prize games, so it's no skin off my back, and I have less pressure on me while playing anonymously...
