and here is the error

Sure, uddeIM 2.4 is not compatible to Joomla 1.7, thats all.

You can use the developer version if you like.

for the record will it be compatible with joomla 1.7?
and the developer version works fine with j1.7? i need it on a production site and i cant risk too much on that as it goes to be a part of micro blogging system and a social network

Yes, uddeIM 2.5dev is compatible with J1.7 but not fully tested yet.

I don't think that uding J1.6 or J1.7 on a productive site is a good idea. These versions have a very short support period.

"Six-Month Release Cycle

A shorter development cycle that will enhance Joomla’s stability by providing more core feature development and adoption. Short-term releases will be in active development for six months, then reach the end-of-life one month after the next version’s release. Long-term support will be active for 15 months, starting with Joomla version 1.8. Version 1.7 will have a support cycle of seven months."

Currently it is quite annoying what Joomla dev does. Each version they break with compatibility to previous versions, so you have to modify components again and again. When running a J1.7 site be a aware that your site might be supported for six months only. After six month there might be a bigger upgrade and you have to find compatible versions of your components again.

you are so damn right about this but now im gonna use kunena and uddeim on my site and i am just worry if i use j1.5 in near future or a year when i have to upgrade it into j1.8 or whatsoever there is a very big problem with mass database and risk of data loss that our team cant afford that at all , im expert in joomla and i totaly aware of the risks , i designed all i wanted in joomla 1.5(we connect sharetronix db to joomla to sync users and more) but after a while before making site available to users i decided to do everything again with j1.6 and i just finished my works that the storm came to me and ruined everything i just did , and due to XSS bug in j1.6.5 there is no way for me to publish my system in j1.6 , but u have point here so maybe i should take the risk start with j1.5 and when there is a long term support for joomla as u mention 1.8 i try to upgrade my whole system , what do you say by now ?

Well, using 1.5 for a new site is also a bad idea since it is also not longer supported. Currently I can only recommend Joomla for hobby sites but not for commercial sites that might run several years. The first version I would use for such a project is 1.8 because of the support period.
Quite hard to give a recommendation when a site is built now.
