Hi PPNSteve,

You can enable debugging in /conf/_advanced.php. I took this code from 1.10;

/**
 * Display debugging informations?
 *
 * 0 = no
 * 1 = yes
 * 2 = yes and potentially die() to display debug info (needed before redirects, e-g message_send.php)
 *
 * @global integer
 */
$debug = 0;

That will give extra information and perhaps a clue as to what is going on.
But your error may also be caused by the server you are pinging. The B2evo server is known to be down at certain periods. That does generate an error.

Good luck

yeah.. i've seen it down at times too.. especially during spam submissions.. this error is happening pinging b2evo of a new post.

don't think turning on my debug will fix it if it's the server here...

thanks for the reply though..

Pinging b2evolution.net...
