Why is Adobe flash checker page still showing older version.

Someone here left me this pages link to check if i had the latest flash player and to my surprise this page still shows the older version .

Any reasons why?

I use Opera by the way.

Thanks again

You should use that link for every browser you have since a Flash player is browser specific.

If you're referring to Adobe Flash Player's automatic update service, note that it can take several days or even a week before it's updated. And it only updates Flash for the default browser (at least on my system). So I always update Flash manually for my browsers.

That strange, when I did use auto updates, it did it all expect Google chrome browser. That updated by Google not Adobe. I had some issues with auto-updates effecting playing of video, so I disabled all auto updates.

Yes, Chrome is an exception. Maybe it depends on what browser is default. If you have for example Firefox as default but you also have Opera, a Flash update will appear to also have updated Opera which isn't true because they share the same Flash Player. In my case I had IE as default and it never auto-updated the Flash player for Firefox/Opera. Only the Active-X version for IE.

Please describe what browsers you have and which one is default so we can figure this out. It would be terrible if the way it works on my system is the standard method. That would explain why some people have sometimes several year old Flash Players in non-default browsers.

I know the issue you may have now.
You need to download one from Adobe from firefox, install it. Then you need to download Adobe from Internet explorer and then install it. Make sure both you chose auto update. Auto updates should work from them on and it should update Opera as well. Now, if you change it never update, you will need to do the above each time you want a new version.
