@[email protected] Hi. I'm trying to use the auto-update feature and it just keeps looping. it tells me there's an update and asks me if I want to install it. I say yes, and a few seconds later the dialog asking me if I want to update comes back again.
@technolass Try now, should be fixed.
@[email protected] It worked perfectly. Thanks!
@technolass Yay, I'm glad. NP!
@TheQuinbox @technolass I spent the last couple of hours watching Only Fools and Horses on the Sky channel called U&Gold, so good job its fixed now, I can just go ahead and let it update lol.
