that’s strange. Is there possibly a port blocker blocking Hook’s update check? Did you try clicking the Check Now button. If Hook cannot connect at that point, it should present an error message in a dialog box. (The preferences Updates tab would still say “last checked”, which we should probably change to only update when the check is successful.)
Do you still see a Curio script in Hook’s Preferences > Scripts tab? As of v. 128 , to interact with Curio Hook relies on Hook’s default script. It should also show the updated script for Bear: No linkable item in Bear - #4 by LucB (assuming of course one has not overridden them).
Also, I’ve updated the post to correctly refer to v. 128 rather than v. 127.
