Is it possible to Upgrade 1.3.1 to 1.3.2 from admin panel, without using FTP?
i dont think it is
i found a bug that i cannot delete the user by 1.3.2 version
Thank you for your report. The bug will be fixed in the next update. For now you can delete users from the user profile page.
I have set up a cron job. Seems to be working properly. We are able to receive friend request notifications and private messages. I can not receive any notifications for comments on statuses or new posts. How can I fix that?
Please submit a report on the support forum.
If someone leaves the website without signing out! Their profile still shows they are online! This is a mass drawback in chat & in this software! Please do rectify that pls…
Setup your cron
Can you say how to do that please.?
How do I set up the cron to stop them from being “online” when they’re not?
You can use this manual or ask for support on the forum.

I just updated my website manually, but there is no change in anything..There is no plugin updates available

Hey there,
Thank you for the update. Here are some issues that I have found so far
Plugin issues (so far)
1. The slideshow plugin no longer works
2. The Arrowchat branding free edition ($79) no longer works. It displays on the admin backend, but no longer on the user end of the site.
Core issues (so far)
1. When leaving a comment on an individual users wall (on their profile), you have to refresh the page to see the comment you left. Normally the comment displays without having to refresh the page.
take a look at this regarding the newsfeed/comments issue
http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/3936
The plugins are third party, so you have to submit bug reports to their developers. As for core issues, we are working on that and will fix it in one of the upcoming updates.
Hi ,
I have an issue with mass mailing.
When I send mass mails, I can see the blink that messages are sent to the users. but users of my website are not actually receiving the emails. I checked with my web hosting provider, they said that there is no problem from there side. Can anyone please help me in solving this issue.
And I am using oxwall 1.3.2
Looking forward to your reply.
Have you tried reporting it in the forum?
Yes. I have this issue too. Please find a way to solve it.
And thanks for new update. I hope notifications, widgets and groups be better in next update. Specially notifications, like Face Book.

Basicaly its what jason wrote on April 3, 2012 arrow chat only shows in admin and newsfeed & wall problems so users cant socialize on the social network site , I hope you find a solution cos its serious.x.x.x.x.
there are so many issues to list
1.javascript buttons such as delete photos and feature photos no longer works with any added theme only work with preinstalled themes
2.there seems to be issues somewhere in the site files making it where users cannot access their profile edit windows they just get a turning wheel over and over
3.these issues are causing sites to load slow and use a lot of cpu
4.users cannot close messages in ajax IM
5.issues vary from site to site and seem to be effected differently
It looks like you have JS error on all pages. Usually it stems from the broken advertisement or HTML/JS code. Try turning off advertisement of all custom components and see if it works. In any case, report it on the forum for a quick solution.
what do you mean by advertisement of custom components? this error only has happened after the update
Please report it on the forum and you’ll get required support.
Zima, are you an admin?
I am mostly a blogger, closely communicating with the team.
can you tell me what’s mean “Cron setup changed (now uses HTTP)”? and how to do ?
Is there a way to remove “nofollow” on outgoing links ?
Please address the issue on the forum.

The only news right now is that we are working on it. As soon as I have more, I’ll post about it.
