Your web host has disabled curl_exec() for security reasons. You need to talk to them and ask them to either enable it or completely remove it. MyBB checks if the function exists in the code, but if it's only partially disabled, it will assume it exists.

Regardless, if you're running 1.4, it would have said you were not running the latest version. The latest version is 1.6.3, which you should be running. At least make sure you're running the latest patch to the 1.4 series, 1.4.16. Because prior versions to MyBB 1.4.7 contain a high security vulnerability.
There is a guide here somewhere that I asked about ages ago, on how to go about downloading the (TXT) validation checking file and then check it from your own server end instead of from MyBB. That thread also tells you how to add some code to fuctions.php (I think it was the file)? So it even displays the MD5 hash-code you need to change it to after doing file edit, so it still passes.

Anyway, I use this method of version checking because I've made so many file edits since, that now I need to keep it updated to keep pass validation checking. In short, my forum doesn't do the checking via MyBB.

Read this thread, it might interest you: http://community.mybb.com/thread-85664.h...ght=bolton

And take note of this post in it also if you want MD5 hash codes you need to edit displayed in AdminCP to you making life very easy.

If cURL is disabled they're a pretty poor, or over restrictive host.
