Ok, so on the Pogo main page when I opened it up a few moments ago was a chance to be a Pogo Beta tester. Whoo hoo, I think it's great and I want to sign up but as I was going down the list of things I need to do before being accepted, one of them was called "Java Log"... could that be a way for Pogo to scan my logs to see if I've been using a auto or not? If so, should I take a chance and apply? Trying to figure out if this is a trick or treat
Wow. that's kind of scary. I hope it's not true
go for it O0
where is it at i'll check it out and report what happens
sign into www.pogo.com and if should be there in main picture
I think it it on regular pogo, not club pogo. I saw it when I signed in under my regular name, but not on my club pogo name.
i'm not seein' it
.
i found it when i signed in with a non club pogo name O0 . i would have posted the link but it will not let me :'(
I had to refresh the screen a few time to get through the other ads O0
i refreshed the page over 100 times and still don't see it
Maybe someone with access to the article could post it on here? Then we could all see it.
Just maybe it's not an invite to anyone just signing in? That would be my thought instead of refreshing 100 times to see it. Just remeber anything that sounds too good to be true, is! If you use any cheats, glitches or autos, I would not do it, because I am sure they are going to look into anyone that signs up for it.
Just my 2 cents worth of opinion.
I too must have refreshed over 100 times and it wasn't coming up. I don't know if this will help, but it did work for me. Clear out all your temp files and cookies. I also had some ad sites in my restricted zone and removed them. I restarted my browser and refreshed maybe 4 times and there it was. It's also coming up on my club account now too.
is this for Real??
I have tried al lthr ways of Tryingto get the Pop-up, and havent gotten it.
ALl I get is Ads for Pogo-Mobile, Tge Contests, Club Pogo, and Other Reg Pogo Stuff!
Where Am I suppose to look for the Pop-up??
Does it pop-up on the screen???
or is it the main Banner animation that is towards the top ofthe main page??
its the main pciture top center.animated screen.you will get to it eventually.
Caroline is going to let me play on her name in beta. :) Thanks!
Any way we can get the link to that wonderfull "be a beta tester" place ? lol
Been refreshing till my puter crashed and still didn't see it :'(
I'm thinking this is all that is needed of the address to get to the page about the beta testing, after deleting the end of it that would refer it to my own name.
http://www.pogo.com/publicbeta.do?site=pogo
This is the short answer to it, there is also a detailed explanation on how to apply and how it works:
Become a Pogo™ Beta Tester!
We're looking for players to help us identify problems and give us feedback on games before they go live on Pogo™. You'll be a part of a super secret society whose goal is to make Pogo™ games more fun! Okay so maybe it's not a super secret society but it is an opportunity to preview Pogo™ games and have a part in making the games you play everyday! As a beta tester you will get to:
Play Pogo™ games before they are released
Find game bugs (problems) and send us detailed info on each bug
Send us your opinions and feedback
Hang out and play games with other Beta Testers
The program runs in roughly four month intervals during which you will have access to a speacial beta testing area of Pogo™ that has been designed specifically for the beta program.
-This was copy and pasted, so any spelling errors are Pogo's, and not mine.. i.e. "speacial".
Thank you RC ;)
And again we're left out ... :'(
"Registration is limited to residents of the U.S. and Canada." >:(
Ho well ... Thanks for the tip anyways :-*
Well, I did it, well see if they cancel my account when they snoop in it.........lol
Just make to read the agreement for those of you signing up....I was gonna use my husbands non-pogo name and sign up until I read this "you further agree that notwithstanding any damages that you might incur for any reason whatsoever, the entire liability of EA and any of its affiliates under any provision of this Agreement and your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to Fifty U.S. Dollars ($50). The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails of its essential purposes. "
I can't replace my computer due to thier games killing it for 50 bucks. I quit reading after that. Just beware and good luck if our forum gets someone accepted!! O0
i saw the invite under my name but i am afraid to sign it cause i am afraid they might audit my account? do you think this a way of luring us in, those who get badges in the non traditional ways, lol??? :-\
i signed up yesterday and now i'm an official beta tester O0 joy!

WTG. I'm still waiting
They closed the beta tester sign up. :-[
Here's what they had to say
We've done it! Thanks to players like you we've collected enough applicants to get the Pogo™ Beta Test Program started. Unfortunately this means we had to close down the registration process but don't fret, we'll open up registration every 3-4 months so stay tuned and look for the invitations!
Thanks for your support!
The Pogo Team
btw, the pogo beta tester invite showed up on the home page. I signed on as a club member, so it wasn't just for non club members.
I signed up earlier today, looks as though I just made it before they closed it down. I'm an auto queen...so we shall see.
It also showed up for me while signed in as a Club Pogo member.
So Bobby are you saying that they have already replied to you and accepted you? :o :o If so then that is the fastest that I have ever seen them reply.
i got an email saying that i had been accepted and just to wait because they are checking over all the application and notifying people day by day so it shouldn't even be 2 weeks i got an email in about 48 hours
I sign up on tuesday. Am still waiting to see :o O0

so if your an official beta tester, just what does that mean? :-\
It means that when a new game comes out you get to play it and report back to Pogo about your experience. You get to tell them if there are any bugs in the game and basically, test drive it. You submit your java log and then wait for Pogo to read it and yank you right out of the lineup for auto use. I don't believe that Pogo goes around and just bans people for auto use. I do believe that if you flagrantly waste their time and hand them the exact information they would need to bust you, they probably will do just that.

I would have to agree with you on this....makes sense to me! thanks, Barbara! O0
btw, I love the pig with the lollipop...how cute!
Thanks, I made it in honor of the person who came to chat and asked me if Max was my "Sugar Daddy" and if I had to work to support myself or if Max supported me. I still have a cramped eyebrow from arching it when she did that? By the way Badge Hog, it is the first of the month and those Cheetos ain't free.

I have a question, or questions.. I've heard on here about the java logs before, now I'm not exactly computer illiterate, nor am I any kind of computer genius, but I must admit I don't know much about these java logs. Now if you were to submit a java log to Pogo, or to anyone for that matter, are you able to see this log before you send it? Is it something where you could look it over and see the programs for the autos listed? Would it not be possible to go into a log and delete certain information? And another thing- isn't there any way to clear out and delete information on your java logs.. like clearing your cache, only this being your java cache (for, lets say, you clear them out and then go play Pogo games in order to submit a "clean" log)? Again, I don't really have clue as to how they work, but I would think with all the hackers and computer geniuses out there, someone must know a way to get around the java log thing, shouldn't they?
Just disable your java log and never send it to Pogo. Go to IE>tools>internet options> advanced and scroll down to where the java is. You will see the box.
the info in your java log only has info about the current game you have loaded, and yes you can clear it, so if you were testing a pogo game and that was the only game you loaded, then that is all the info they would see. but you probably wouldnt want to clear it, they wouldnt have any info then LOL
the java logs has such things as moves made, time loaded, token amounts, token payouts stuff like that...here i will show you what mine says..at the moment
i'm pretty sure theres no crucial info about me in there.....it just shows the game info. if i'm wrong bout any of that someone please correct me!

Well, I would never send my logs to Pogo, nor have any need to.. I'm not a beta tester and didn't apply to be one. I did check, and I don't have my logs enabled and I guess I never have. But that is for Microsoft VM right? I use the Sun java mostly, and I have actually gone into their control panel and noticed I don't have logging enabled there either. I think I figured why bother having all that info stored somewhere when I probably would never use it and wouldn't want it taking up space. Sometimes when I'm clearing cache and temp files, I do go in there and clear java files as well just for the heck of it.
I have seen those logs before though, I guess I used to have them in the past, but as you can see by what burning posted, there is a lot of useless info in there, and that happens every time you use something with java, which nowadays is quite often.. so that is a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't want possibly using memory space or slowing the comp down, or whatever else it could do. Seems like a waste for the normal computer user, and probably more suited for the techies to use and have a need for.
Mine is from sun java, i have the msvm but sun seems to work better for me.

Yeah, sorry, I realized that.. when I said if it was Micorsoft's VM, I was referring to Barbara's instructions on disabling the logging, through the internet explorer's tools. But, yeah, I use Sun also and have experienced problems, especially in Pogo, when trying to use the MS VM, the games get all choppy and the sound is horrible.. don't know why that is. And because of that, I don't get that "fast loading technology".. but I used to have that, where the game puts something in the downloaded objects folder so that it's easier to load the next time you play.. but I can't use that anymore, I'm not quite sure when that transition took place, perhaps when I got a newer computer and went to Windows XP, I don't know.
I read that article a week or two back.
I actually made a text file of it.
I will check to see if it is still here and will copy-paste it.
Ok, I found it, there are two parts, so here is part 1.....
Please read the agreement below. If you agree to the terms, click the "I agree" button at the bottom of the page.

What is a Java log?
A Java log is a feature that allows your computer to record diagnostic information when it runs Java programs, such as a Pogo™ game. When reporting a bug, it's always best to include a copy of the Java log for that game. Make sure you have the Java log activated while you play -- when you notice a problem you can copy the Java log into a bug report to help us track the problem down.
There are different ways to enable your Java log depending on the type of Java your computer runs (Sun Java or Microsoft JVM) and the type of browser you use.
For Internet Explorer:
Go to the Tools menu in Internet Explorer and choose "Internet Options."
Click the Security tab and make sure the "Security level for this zone" is set to Medium.
Click the Advanced tab and make sure you have the following settings:
Sun Java
select Java (Sun) - Use Java V.
Microsoft VM
Java console enabled (requires restart) - ON
JIT compiler enabled - OFF
Java logging enabled - ON
After modifying these settings (and after you complete the application), you'll have to close all of your browser windows and restart your browser. Be sure to restart your browser AFTER you complete the application. If you leave the application process before completion, you may lose your invitation to the program.
Once activated, depending on the Java you're using, viewing your Java log can be activated in one of the following places.
For Microsoft JVM under the "View" menu item select "Java Console."
For Sun Java under the "Tools" menu item select "Sun Java Console."
For non Internet Explorer browsers, there is an alternative way to open a Java log with Sun Java. If you see the coffee cup in the lower right hand corner of the task bar(near the bottom of your screen), you can right click it and select "open console."
For Sun Java users who can not see the Sun Java coffee cup, you can activate it by clicking: 'Start' button > 'Control Panel' > 'Java' Control Panel > 'Advanced' tab> 'Miscellaneous' Settings > Check the box next to 'Place Java icon in system tray' > Click Ok and close Control Panel windows. Then close any open browser windows, including AOL, and then open them again and try to play a pogo game.
If for any reason you cannot get the data from the console, you can access the file directly by browsing to "C:\Documents and Settings\(your login name)\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\log\plugin150_04.trace".
Note: If you can't see the Application Data Folder, on the menu, go to Tools > Folder Options > 'View' tab > click the radio button next to 'Show hidden files and folders' > and Click OK.
If you use the AOL browser/IE and Microsoft JVM, you need to get the log file directly from the following location on your hard drive. The file can be found at: C:\WINDOWS\java\javalog.txt
Mozilla Firefox:
Click on the Java icon on your taskbar when you open a game. When you discover a bug, select all the text in this window with your mouse and copy it to your bug report.
Netscape:
In Netscape it's in Tools>Sun Java Console.
When you discover a bug, open your Java Console with the steps described above and select all the text in this window with your mouse and copy it to your bug report.
Please activate your Java Log now (and restart your browser after you have fully completed the application).
Check this box after you have activated your java log.

but I used to have that, where the game puts something in the downloaded objects folder so that it's easier to load the next time you play.. but I can't use that anymore, I'm not quite sure when that transition took place, perhaps when I got a newer computer and went to Windows XP, I don't know.

When I use sun jave those file aren't downloaded or if they are, they go some where else. I have removed all the files and they only come back if I am using ms java.
