[theme-reviewers] theme_update_available

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

It doesn't do any user tracking, nor does it care about where you're
running.

Try changing the version string on one of those sites to a older version,
and reloading the themes page, see if it picks it up then?

The other thing that comes to mind, is if all the servers you're testing on
are on a slower network, the update checks might be timing out, so it's only
the once-ever-24hrs check that waits longer for a response that's working,
and so not picking up the updates..

Assuming everything else is working, there's not much else that can be
impacting upon it (except maybe a plugin..). If you've got a test install
you don't mind letting me run a few debug items on, I can give you an exact
reason why the alert isn't showing for you. (contact me off-list)

FYI, I'm getting this warning on 3.3:
( ! ) Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles
should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts,
admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks. (This message was added in version
3.3.) in .... ..\anvil-options.php Lines 37 and 38
