I just updated the zip on the web site, so it's right up to date against the svn.

What method of authentication are you using?
1. Did you have to edit config.php to enable your chosen method?
2. If you create a new LO or edit an existing LO and then select the Insert menu do you see the Insert > Connectors option?
If any of this is true you're using 1.8!

Hi,

I downloaded version 1.8 and upgraded but I understand from the users the site is still version 1.7 - not sure how to make sure the new version have been uploaded beyond refreshing the site.

Regards,
Remy

The database hasn't changed.

What problem are you getting exactly?
