Ooops a multiple posting, ah well someone will delete the other topics I'm sure.

Can't actually see anything in that image you posted as it doesn't show much.

Are you trying to update your forum as it's not that clear ?

Admin > Maintenance > Forum Maintenance > Routine > Check All Files should force a recheck and might just clear that "??" issue you have

Yep, thats normal. Not all files will show as 2.0.2

If I remember correctly they show up in red if out of date or not current. However, noticed that you've got "??" in the right hand column so currently it's not able to compare with the correct version at SMF. I know that sometimes there are general connection issues (at SMF) but personally I not sure what to suggest if this persists (someone else might advise).

By the way the ones with "??" in the left hand column normally relate to mods so won't give a version number.

I edited my post above so re-read.

Quoteps. i don't get SMF news in my /admin panal .

We all get that from time to time I'm afraid.

If it persists then have a read of this (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=451731.0) topic as there are many suggestion in there as to the cause.
