Strange.  A few minutes ago all was fine then when I click Check Update, I get errors:

Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct() [simplexmlelement.--construct]: Entity: line 231: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: version line 228 and theme in /wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-startup/admin/spa-admin-updater.php on line 20

and so on, up to a Fatal error at the end.

Whew. I hate being the only one stuff like this happens to.

Same thing here. I run a multisite installation. Went to Network Admin, clicked on Plugins, clicked on Add new, went to upload a new plugin (not forum related) and poof! Screen filled with error messages, same as above.

Something's broke. Here's a screenshot:

Same problem - Just tried to do a new install.

I have same issue

Still i have the same issue just now !!!
