Stardock Central will not download Updates, although it is calling for a WindowBlinds4 update.

Hm, SDC updated fine for me, but now it just says that it's verifying internet connection and it stays hung there.

It seems like everytime I open SDC, there is yet another update (for it) that is downloaded and installed. Yet, now when I go to the (Forum) Discussion section, it looks like it's based on the old site, and all the threads listed are old. The current version of SDC that I have loaded is Version 2.03c.318, build 80. Is there a way to get the newest forum topics to load?

ama02: Have you tried and hit F5? This should refresh your threads in SDC.
If it doesn't work you try the following:
Close SDC and then go into your SD Central\Discussion folder and delete the General-, Personal Computing-, OS Customization-, Support-, Tutorials-, and WC-news-ini's. Then restart SDC and hit F5.

Thanks for the reply aufisch, no I haven't tried that but I will.
One more question though...In SDC, when I uninstalled my current WB, rebooted, then used SDC to install WB 4.5, it installed it in another directory (Program Files>Stardock) instead of Program Files>Object Desktop, which is where I have all my blinds installed. Is there a way to direct SDC to install it to my Object Desktop directory? Or do I need to move all my blinds to the new directory...otherwise I cannot see my other blinds, just the ones that were installed with the new version.
edit: I've deleted the only .ini files in my SDC discussion folder, which included discussion.ini, and that fixed it...thanks! Still waiting for help on my 2nd question.
edit part deux: Okay, I've gone exploring through SDC, and found the settings panel. I checkmarked the item to have SDC prompt for a directory path...then I uninstalled the new version from the Stardock directory and reinstalled it into Object Desktop. Everything is back on track.
