Hey,
When I am in Admin CP and check the :
" Live from Simple Machines.."
That's what I see: "You are unable to connect to simplemachines.org's latest news file."
How can I fix that?
You can't do anything I think.
I'm not sure about the real reason but if there is a problem with that server or it is even an bug.
Any errors in your admin error log?
It was like that since the start of the forum.
No errors logs
This is a known problem, even with fresh installed boards.
Same problem here.
Works fine for me on all of my test installs capady..., both SMF 1.1.x and 2.0
The time I can see it not working (which I know for a fact) is when you are behind a proxy... SMF's assumes a non-proxied connection and doesn't have provisions for it otherwise.
