No notification about new program updates

Ok,now this is not normal. Today i started PC,connected to net and got red popup that avast! cannot contact cat.asw.cz (again). Why am i getting this error? Is server not online?

[rosso_acido]

Getting exactly the same error. At first I thought it was because I repaired Avast via Add/Remove last night and the servers.def file might have reverted to the original, with links for updating the standard version, but I checked its contents and it seems to be OK.

Oh, and something I also noticed (and apologies if it's OT) - after repairing Avast, the Mail Protection Wizard shortcut disappears from the Avast folder in Start Menu. I added it back manually, but it would be nice if it didn't go away in the first place, as it's quite convenient.

Yes this is "normal".

The server is being upgraded so it's going to have some downtime. I hope it will be up'n'running in a couple of hours.

Thanks

Ah, thanks so much for the clarification. It's a relief to know it's not a problem with the programme.

You know, we need to strengthen our hardware before the software goes gold

[S.Z.Craftec]

Yes, make your hardware strong like a "HULK"  

Thanks Vlk !

I want the 'old' pieces from it

[Lisandro]

Will be the software of the forums be updated too?
YaBB is looking so obsolete  

[S.Z.Craftec]

Yeah, Technical is right... please do something so we all can enjoy this great change !

New avast! 4.5, new server hardware, fixed skins, new forum face... it would be BOOM !

Is there any chance we can see that in near future ?

Cheers !

SMF is real nice board software. There is also a converter yabb > smf.

[Lisandro]

Is there any chance we can see that in near future ?

Thanks for asking that... I'm begging for that a long time...
But, unfortunatelly, as far I know, they say the forum software won't change...
Eddy, what is this conversion program? I suppose the final user (us) can't use it to 'change' forum appearance but just Alwil...  

[S.Z.Craftec]

So you wanna tell us Technical that we don't deserve better "room" or better looking "gathering space".      

I think we deserve to have new face of these forums... everyone needs some change occasionally... I would like to see new design of these forums.

Cheers !
