Ok, I have installed a fresh version of elgg 1.7.3 and now the comments work ok...
I have no 'live' version of elgg at present so I will just keep working on this fresh installation without exploring why the comments don't work on the old installation (1.7.2) - I have all the same plugins enabled now in the fresh version of 1.7.3 as I do in the old version (1.7.2).
thanks
Is there some way to stop iZap from even looking at WMV files? Actually, I think a better option would be to just list acceptable formats. I'm using Arvixe, which is supposed to have support for all this multimedia stuff. I've got no idea and I obviously can't ask them to recompile FFMPEG for me. AVI works just fine and I believe SWF also works. This would be a great feature for a future update of iZap. Amazing software and quick support-- impressive and happy!
I do have SSH access as well as access to your standard items through cPanel (such as error logs). I'm a bit hesitant to use it to compile anything via the command line since I don't know exactly what is crossing the line of what appropriate use is defined as for Arvixe. Getting WMV to work would be a lot better than getting rid of it.
I'm running the most recent (25-sept?) release or iZap and Elgg 1.7.1. I'd really rather not give my site's address since its a private community catering to specific private things.
I've not tested 3.71b yet. But I downloaded it to install it at some time and in upgrade.php and manifest.xml it still says 3.7b.
So I would say if everything else seems alright then it's just an issue of the version information not updated in the files. I don't know what else has changed and if you should see a difference elsewhere that would tell you that the update was successful.
