I have been told by users of this software in another forum I had them looking at the cron to see if it was my cron script....
Responses from those users where
"The problem is not you its your host they dont have a curl libairy installed on there server its basicly means you need to ask your host to install it else move."
Is curl installed here?
If not I belive it's a free download at PHP.net. so if it's not already installed, is this a possiability to get installed please?
