Hi

From day 1, I never seem to get a clean version check.

ACP > Home > version Check

Error message :

Quote:There was a problem communicating with the version server. Please try again in a few minutes.

I did try several times over several different time periods, but the error stays. Its like this since 1.4.x

Can anyone clear out this error for me ?

Greetings,

If it's always been broken, it'll be your host blocking the necessary function required, I think it's the fetch_remote_file function...

$contents = fetch_remote_file("http://mybboard.net/version_check.php");
if(!$contents)
{
	$page->output_inline_error($lang->error_communication);
	$page->output_footer();
	exit;
}

Hi

It is allways been broken

Btw the Hoster is freehostia.com and the forum : is @ Anti Malware Help

Can I fix it in some way ?

I think it needs fsockopen or cURL to be able to communicate with the server. If your host disallows both of them, then there isn't much we can do...

You will just have to keep up to date by visiting the forums regularly. You can remove the message by editing the internal code if you are certain that fsockopen or cURL work.

Just remove:

    $page->output_inline_error($lang->error_communication);
