Hiya loving the BB but I'm havin trouble installing themes and the version check button doesn't do anything, not sure if this is a bug or not. But I haven't been able to get a version check and it's a raw install.

What version check button doesn't work?

This one in the top left corner

* Admin CP Home
* CP Preferences
* Version Check

???

This works for me, are you getting any error?

Hiya,

No I don't get an error, also I can't install templates it won't see the xml files. This is a raw install so there shouldn't be anything wrong do you think it could be corrupt?

Hi

I also have same problem with Version Check, along with a few other problems with a upgrade from v1.18. see

Find the line

$contents = @implode("", @file("http://mybboard.com/version_check.php"));

and replace it with

$contents = @implode("", file("http://mybboard.com/version_check.php"));

I have a feeling you might not be able to open remote files. Anything beginning with "http". Some hosts disable urlwrappers for PHP.

Thanks for that I'll try it - what file is it in thought

Cheers

It should be in admin/index.php.

Thank you Michael, I think my problem is down to my host not allowing remote files as you suggested. Just need to sort my other problems, which I suspect are totally unrelated to this thread.
