yes we are running the most current chat server from the 1.17 kit and fresh built source. i cannot say if we updated the php or not i will look into that directly. thanks for the pointer.
edit update: i checked the php scripts and they are all up to date with the kit. ofc we modified some of them and they have been checked against the newest php scripts and are correct. also our internal test system currently has the base kit installed and no firewalls between things. its as straight forward as it gets.
