Support

Akeeba Backup 3.2.7 does not use sliders any more. We have switched to drop-down lists. Most likely your browser has cached an old version of the Javascript files, hence the problem. Simply clear your browser's cache and reload the page. The problem will magically go away :)

Considering that I am actually developing the software for the last five years, you could safely assume that I know exactly what is going on. Here's what is going on FYI:

Akeeba Backup's Configuration is a pure Javascript page. A complex JSON object of field definitions and values is sent by the server and processed by a lengthy Javascript file (akeebaui.js) to render the configuration page. This file's content has changed between versions 3.2.5 and 3.2.6, without changing its name. Your server is sending HTTP expiration headers into the far future, causing your browser to cache this file and not request it from the server until it expires (remember, this happens into the far future). As a result, the browser was using an outdated file since you had upgraded. Clearing the browser's cache deletes the old file from your browser cache (naturally!) forcing it to reload it from the server and solving the issue. That's why I said to clear the browser cache; I know it works. I, just like you, had the very same issue and that's exactly how I solved it.

Now, all of this begs the question: since you had searched the forum, found a solution and didn't want to follow my advice if it was different than what you read, why did you ask me for support? I'm just curious, I'm not scolding you or anything else. I am just trying to provide you guys with fast and accurate support and knowing how you think makes it a tad more easy for me to accomplish that goal :)
