Does anyone have forums, channels in his app ? They are all 0 ?...

o- You have to subscribe to them
o- You have to set a reasonable sync/save time (at least 6 months)
o- You must have friends, whose friends are subscribed to the forums.
o- You, your friends and friends of your friends must be simultaneously online to download the related info.

In short: you must have good friends 😉

BTW, I do not see you in the People tab. Can you see anybody at all?

No I can't see anyone in my  people tab and I can not add a person. But I have them in my Network tab

Well it seems I am doing something wrong?

Well it seems I am doing something wrong?

Let's start with the basic troubleshooting 😉

o- What RS version are you running? 0.6.5? Windows/UNIX?
o- If Windows, is it a Tor verson?
o- If not or UNIX, is Tor running?
o- If yes, on which port?
o- Preferences -> Network -- Local address - External address -- any green lights?
o- Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration -> Outgoing Manual Tor -- Tor outgoing Okay green?
o- Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration -> Outgoing Manual Tor -> Tor Socks Proxy -- Are IP_address and Port correct?
o- Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration -> Incoming -- incoming ok green?
o- Preferences -> Network -> Network Configuration -- what Network mode is set to?
o- If Public is DHT green at the bottom of the window?

Now its working..... Okay....

I see you're offline.

Next step is to spend some time online, wait for friend confirmations (the mail will be delivered when both parties are online), confirm friendships, send invites back, wait until everything is synchronized, get more friends. Then things will become more interesting.
