I have a problem. Well to me it's a problem. 9 days ago I asked about a flickering mouse curser. Before I asked I checked I was up to date, clicking 'Help', and 'Check for Updates'. The result was: 'No Updates Found. There are no new updates available. Flock may check periodically for new updates.'

You'll have to imagine my surprise when employee Patricia informed me that I wasn't up to date as I was using 2.0.0 and Flock had moved on to 2.0.3.

My 'ps', below, regarding this was overlooked.

"What have I missed here. Before my original request for info I had clicked 'help', 'check for updates' and it had come back that I was up to date. But obviously I wasn't as I was still on Flock 2.0.0. Was this a glitch or correct? If correct how do I know/check I have the latest version? If I had been aware I was not on the latest version I would have updated before feeling it necessary to contact you."

I've just asked a second question about an infected file. When I came onto the help page I noticed, 'Most recent Company Update: Flock 2.5 is here'. But what do you know a repeat of 'Help', and 'Check for Updates' says again 'No Updates Found'.

Is this a glitch or correct? If correct how do I know/check I have the latest version? I'm using 2.0.3 and will update to 2.0.5 which only because of having a query am I aware is available. Mozilla Firefox updates automatically or at least starts and asks me about it. Flock doesn't let me know anything at all. How do I set it to notify me of updates?

Have just read a similar question. The answer, below, appears to say you don't auto update everyone straight away on release of newer version but that an auto update will eventually be issued. This is confusing as I was on 2.0.0 and Flock had move on to 2.0.3 and now I'm on 2.0.3 and it's moved on to 2.5 but I wasn't auto updated to 2.0.2 or 2.0.4?

I have my setting set to auto update. Is there a glitch here or is everything working fine? Please explain?

Finally, my last query re the anti virus: When I attempted to edit my submission I was locked out. Please see snipping cap. This was within the 15 minutes why was I locked out?

ps I am grateful for your prompt and helpful replies to my previous questions.

Hey Patrick,

Auto-updates are complex, and we like to do additional testing before we send them out to everyone. We'll be working on this immediately now that 2.5 is out the door, and you'll hopefully have your auto-update soon. Don't know a timeframe, but I will let you know when I do.

However, if you'd like to manually upgrade it's as simple as downloading 2.5 from www.flock.com and running the installer - Flock will migrate all your settings.

Backing up your profile is never a bad thing, so if you'd like to do that, instructions are at: http://flock.com/faq/show/64#q_61799

Flock'n'roll,

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Flock\Browser\Profiles\j8p5mhz3.default\Cache\EF85302Bd01

Do i need to worry?

I'm using 2.0.3 and will update to 2.0.5 which because of this I've seen is available. Mozilla Firefox updates automatically or at least starts and asks me about it. flock doesn't let me know anything at all. How do I set it to notify me of updates?
