Status Update

OK, there have been some problems here on PS3Heroes.com and some of them are still in place. I just wanted to let you know, what is happening.

The latest problem was (it is being fixed right now), that all trophy numbers were just gone. I cannot say how that happened, but I guess that at the last update on these numbers, the servers at SONY did either not respond, or the respond looked not like anything it should normally look like.

As I said, this problem is being fixed right now. This crawl gets the actual numbers from SONY's pages and then will also display them on your profile. But I still need to fix setting all trophies to 0, so that something like this cannot happen again.

If you activated the Twitter Trophycard Background, this will be updated within then next couple of hours - it should be, because the numbers change and thus, the background should be re-generated. I guess I will be able to check this in the morning...

The problem that already occured last week were the missing avatar pictures. I wanted to look into this tonight and then got aware of the trophy-count problem. So I hope I will be able to look into the avatar pictures tomorrow.

Sorry for that, but the few days after my holiday had been rather busy, so I couldn't look into it any earlier...

Link your videos to games

So, since yesterday you're able to show your YouTube videos on PS3Heroes. But now you can also link the videos to a specific game!

You can see an example of this at the Hustle Kings Uservideos. To not only show your videos on PS3Heroes, but also add them to a game, just add the Game Tag which you can find in the Uservideos tab at each game.

In the next couple of days, I will also add a tab called Videos to your hero profile, which will contain all your shared videos.

Show you YouTube-Videos on PS3Heroes!

Just as you can already do with your tweets you now can also do with your YouTube-Videos!

Just add the tag ps3 to them and PS3Heroes crawls them and shows them on your action stream. Just go to the settings and enable the feature under Show my Videos.

Please note that the videos will show up in your action stream at the date when they were uploaded to YouTube. Thus, older videos might not be shown on the front page - and yes: a pagination of the action stream is still planned! :-)

Make sure to also read how to link your videos to a game on PS3Heroes!

Embedd YouTube-Videos in the forums

You now can embed YouTube-Videos to a forum post.

There are two way to do this:

or

So either use YouTube's own short links, or just type youtube: followed by the code you find in the URL on YouTube.
