I also couldn't get the program to tell me that updates were available. I use Norton Internet Security (NIS) and couldn't find anything obvious to change things. And of course you can only check if a change works when the next update comes.
With three machines, though, I did have a slight chance when the last couple of updates arrived. Although they all sit behind the same firewall, I turned of most of the other checks on two machines. The update available message was correctly seen on two machines, but not the one with the whole of NIS running. I changed one of the "privacy" settings to allow www.legacyfamilytree.com to - find out about my browser, information about visited sites, animated images, scripts and flash animation. The next time I started Legacy on that machine, it too said there was an update available. I suspect that it was related to "information about visted sites". This setting caused problems on one or two other sites where you access images. It is probably a test to make sure you haven't hacked into the system. Hence this issues is, to my mind, directly related to firewalls/anti-virus packages and their add-on features. Whether Dave or others can advise on what the checks are I'm not sure. One clue is that "Legacy News" was working properly throughout. BUT, the check for an update only seems to be made when you first start up Legacy. I couldn't get the message to change while it was running and 6.0.0.70 was released. But as soon as I shut down and restarted the message appeared.
