"checking extensions" never ends

[blackrat999]

Haha cant please everyone!
Unfortunately i still have 7 sites that all just contstantly hunt for updates.
I have tried "clear cache" and then "find updates" but it never gets to the point that "there are no updates"

one of the sites still gives me this :

Some update sites are disabled. You may want to check the Update Sites Manager.

Click on the links in the post itself, and you will see, they work.

[blackrat999]

Yes i can see they do but i still have the same problem only on these 7 latest VM sites. Is there any way to clear it can you suggest please?

[Milbo]

Blueflamit mentioned " and then explaining that root issue in depth to you in 5 different emails"

You may send them to me.

[lindapowers]

We get the same, but never gave attention to it or noticed any issue.

We had disable most of them from the update sites manager in the past and didnt notice problems. For some reason our host doesnt like updates directly from Joomla so most extensions like CSVIpro, OPC or AWO we update them directly from the installer, not dramatic.

Your case is different, Linda. You can see that the link entries make no sense. I wonder where it comes from. I had saw that also on one test installation, which got installed by "discover". Maybe there is or was a problem. I think you should just delete the entries and next update will add the correct entries.

Just a note: The first lines in your Warnings which have ...gruz.org.ua... in the url are very old language packs from 2012 or early 2013, before we started to use Transifex for translations.

Thanks guys, ill delete the entries so that new VM package creates them correctly.

No clue where it comes from, our site started in VM1 so... who knows.
