Title: Live from Simple Portal —"Sorry . . ." message
Post by: Kerrith on June 10, 2015, 05:45:52 PM

New upgrade to SMF 2.0.10 and SimplePortal 2.3.6. All appears to be working nicely.

With my prior SMF 2.0.7 I used Tiny Portal 1.0.

Question:

SimplePortal > Configuration > Information > Live from SimplePortal...
"Sorry! At this time you are unable to connect to simpleportal.net's latest news file."

How to I connect to simpleportal.net's latest news?

Thanks, Kerry

That is server related here, so if stating that, it's nothing to worry about.
All it is anyway, is a news feed, like the SMF one on main Admin page.

Not *entirely* correct, there could also be something preventing your site from connecting to SP's server. However, if it was working fine, it should work fine in the future ;)
You will also notice that the same issue happens with SMF news block as well (which is one of the main reasons why I have completely unlinked my forum from simplemachines.org).
