I was playing Pulstar and Blazing Star today by way of the Android ports that Hamster did, specifically the caravan mode. I've noticed that it will often pop up a message when my caravan run starts (about 20 seconds in or so) stating that it can't connect to the online rankings. Sometimes it'll do that before I get into a game.

When I do finish a caravan run, it asks if I'd like to publish my scores and if I tap yes, it doesn't tell me there was a failure but I am not visible on the online ranking at all and tapping the "You" tab doesn't do anything.

Does anyone know if they took the leaderboards down or if they ever worked? As far as I can tell, the same top 6 caravan players have always been there since I've had a copy of these great ports.
