This problem can occur if the site here is under heavy traffic. Check to see if it is still doing that.

Check with your host if cURL and the ability to fetch remote files is enabled on your server.

They said Curl is enabled...any other ideas?

they sent me this....not sure what or how to test.


I have checked and curl is enabled and installed on the following path:

--------
curl: /usr/bin/curl /opt/curlssl/bin/curl /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz
--------

You may check this by utilizing the test script which I uploaded to your account at http://helpwantedalabama.com/curltest/curltest.php
It's possible that this is due to our move to HTTPS on our systems.
I have contacted our development team to look into this for you and one will be in touch as soon as possible.

Hi,

I've just tested this from my server and it works, so it doesn't seem to be a problem on our side. Can you try uploading the below into a file called "fetch_remote.php" and opening your browser to the page "/fetch_remote.php" on your forum? Can you post the output that is shown when you do access this page?

<?php
echo "CURL: " . function_exists('curl_version') . "<br />";
echo "FSOCKOPEN: " . function_exists("fsockopen") . "<br />";
