Bob - You are not alone in having this problem! In Legacy 7 it would notify me of a new build; not so in Legacy 8. When I raised this issue before on this list, support told me that I had to close Legacy for the notification to be made. I started doing just that (previously I would let Legacy run for days at a time) and did NOT get notified that 381 was available except on this list! When I clicked on "Check for updates" it said there was one. I did not follow up; rather, I closed Legacy, shut down my computer, restarted everything. Still no notification. I then did update with no problem. But, the notification does not work for me either.
I now check frequently. I do wonder how many others have this problem? John Genealogy - - - - - it's in my blood!
