Lately I've been getting this error on my event log:

Exception In LatestInformationTask: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 
   at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)
   at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Int32 timeout, Exception& exception)

Looks like the YAF headquarter url it is trying to connect to is not working now. Is there a quick way to turn this task off from the admin control panel?

Thanks.

Exception In LatestInformationTask: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 38.102.33.231:80 etc

I have installed version 1.9.6.1 and all works everything perfectly but e-mail notifications, I don't get any notification, nor any user,

But oddly when I sent e-mail to users using forums they do get them.

Could be a problem with hosting (1and1.com) or some setting or possible a bug.

Thanks

Not sure if the IP is a users so I removed a few digits.

Thanks
