Congratulations to the Joomla team for the release of the latest Joomla 2.5 just days ago. Many have anticipated for this release and as excited as you were, we had put in the hours to get all our Joomla components ready and compatible with Joomla 2.5.

The all-new EasyDiscuss 2.0.3689 was already compatible with Joomla 2.5 when it was release weeks ago. If you haven't find out what's new in EasyDiscuss, read more in our blog post http://stackideas.com/blog/entry/easydiscuss-20-released.html

EasyBlog version 3.0.7756 is also Joomla 2.5-ready, too, if you need to start a blog in Joomla.

Of course, our components still support native Joomla versions 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 and expect to have them around till their respective end-of-life arrives.

Go ahead and get a copy of the latest Joomla 2.5 at http://www.joomla.org/download.html

If you had experienced an outage while accessing our website lately, it was because we were in the midst of moving to the new servers. We wanted to do this for the longest time but the recent workload got us all caught up with datelines.

And if you noticed, the site should load faster than usual now and we hope this migration effort is worthy of our investment.

Because this is a new server, there may be some technical issues that you may experience and when you're at it, please shout out to us on any weird stuff to support@stackideas.com immediately.

Meanwhile, feel free to download the beta version of the all-new EasyBlog 3.0 and let us know your thoughts. We shall be releasing the final version very very soon.

For smart users like you, we'd like to invite you to grab a copy of EasyBlog before the new price starts as soon as EasyBlog 3.0 is released.

After the initial birth of EasyBlog 2.0, we haven't been really working on additional features as we are trying to assist users to build / migrate over from EasyBlog 1.8.x and quite frankly, it wasn't a walk in the park.

We had to help users migrate their themes and revert any modifications done on the older version. It was tough and it wasn't easy but it's the best way to do it.

Moving forward...

We are announcing to all EasyBlog users to upgrade their current PHP versions to the faster PHP5 for future releases of our Joomla! blogging component.

In the next major release (coming real soon!) of EasyBlog, we encourage all users to have at least PHP5 running in their server for smooth operation of EasyBlog. Older versions of PHP will not be able to support EasyBlog's functionalities and will stop working, causing you lots of delays and headache.

You will also expect lots of errors and exceptions running on PHP4 so if something in your copy of EasyBlog is not working, it's most probably you need to do that upgrade.

For the upcoming EasyBlog 2.0, we urge all users to upgrade their current PHP versions to the more robust PHP5.x.

Lately there has been some technical glitches happened at our merchnat provider Plimus and this had caused many of our registered users having problems in getting the component.We would like to apologize for this error and Plimus is working on solving this problem as I blog.

In normal scenario, any purchases made from our Products page will trigger an email notification that the order is received and confirmed to the user. The user then clicks on the link inside the email leading them to our Downloads page to download the component installer.

We encourage all users to report to us immediately if you are affected. So how do you know you are affected? If you dont receive the email notification AFTER 1 day, send us a report to support @stackideas.com and we will send you the installer.

In the report, please include the following:

1. Your order reference number
2. Your full name
3. Your email address

We will use the above details to verify your order manually and send you the component directly.

We hope to get the system restored very soon. Thank you for your kind patience.
