try IE or safari, I have issues using firefox or chrome for whatever reason.
and in regards to the storm - it works after you upgrade your VDM to sw revision 9.

I'm showing that I am still at "008", but it also says "OK" next to it. What version of the code should I be at? Currently, I'm at:
status software="4.11_8A11" hardware="1.0"
Is the new VDM firmware part of the re-release of the beta software? I'm not sure if I installed that one, but I'm not home to confirm one way or another.
You're using Windows XP or Vista I suspect. You need to install or re-install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22

Anyone running the latest BETA, 4.11_8B11 seen any random false alert triggers?
Every couple days now I am getting my PH email trigger going off. The actual email output shows the pH under the trigger. The ORP reading is also wacky at the time of the alert. In the below email alert it is 183, but I then immediatly logged into the system and it was 277.
This is probably the 3rd or 4th false trigger since I loaded this Beta.
Example;
Alarm Statement: If pH > 08.40 Then ON
Aug 26 2011 09:36:41
Temp pH ORP
77.0 8.06 183
Power Failed: Aug 21 2011 11:35:57
Power Restored: Aug 21 2011 11:36:30
Power OK: EB8_4 (4 Days 22:00 - 3.1 Amps)

WHO DAT??
It's possible that you're getting some sporadic interference causing the probe values to spike but by the time you look at the tank, the probe values have gone back to normal values. To test this, you could add a Defer statement to your email alarm, something short like 1 minute. That would smooth out any spikes.

Thank you. I'm not worried about them at this point. If they continue I'll start isolating peices of hardware to try and locate a cuplrit. It's always a possiblity that something has just started to fail or cause interferance. As nothing in my setup has changed except the Beta I was starting with the low hanging fruit.

I noticed now that when my apex reboots, it is kicking a power failure. This isn't a big deal, but it appears that it is not updating the fact that the power is restored. If you look at my status on reeftronics.net (http://www.reeftronics.net/jimsflies/apex-status) the bottomline on the left says "Power Restored: Never". This is also causing an alarm condition when I view the controller via Aquanotes.
Maybe there is a new setting I need to update?

It appears that Apex firmware v4.11-8B11 is now an official general (non-beta) release, as it now available directly from the downloads page on Neptune's web site.

firmware update goes through without issue, but when I try and update the webpages I get the following error:
Any idea on what might be causing that? The web interface still works fyi.

That error is most commonly caused by a missing or damaged installation of the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5. I take it that you are probably running Windows XP or Vista. If so, download and install this: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25150. Then try the Apex web page upload again.
