The coins are recovered!! Thank fuck!!! haha. You guys are legends for helping out - really appreciate it.
I'm not really sure what it was in the end... possibly my VPN. I logged in today without the VPN and the new version connected to a server ok and I could recover from the seed without changing network settings.  Reading other posts there were a few others with server problems so who knows really. TryNinja and HCP in particular thanks again for the help. Problem solvered.

No luck with those server addresses I'm afraid.  There's actually nothing in my Overview tab/screen.  It just says 'Not Connected" and the list is empty. 

When I go on the servers tab and try those 2 servers it doesn't even look like it tries to connect.  Button/dot just stays red.  I tried closing and going back in too.

How do I get instructions to do the manual multisig you mentioned?  Are there any risks with that (especially when I'm not that tech savvy or familiar with all this stuff?) 

Or do you recommend I give it a bit more time perhaps, if that's likely to make any difference?  Or uninstall - reinstall??  Need to change a network setting to allow the Electrum server to connect?  Lots of queries I know.

Cheers again for the assistance.

Can there be a network issue related to a specific wallet?  The old version of Electrum will connect to a server with a new wallet, but not the old wallets. 

The new version actually wont connect to a server at all.  I can't select another server from the list - double click does nothing.


I need to recover these coins...is there another way to move them to a new wallet based on the confirmed receiving address or another means??

yes I could see that ToS from the link you sent.  Definitely weird about the connection.  I'll try the old shutdown/restart, reconnect to the network and all...and give it some time.  Hopefully it can resolve itself.

Thanks a lot for the advice so far...

The seed type was 2FA I think.  I've managed to enter the seed in now, and disabled the 2FA, which has opened the new electrum version...  but I have the red light saying I am not connected.

Select server automatically is on...any reason it's not connecting?

Yes I could view that trusted coin site... yes I'll move my coins once can get them back!!

Why won't it connect now?

Yes I'm pretty sure I was.  I think I have an option to restore without the 2FA...  I'll try that unless there's another suggestion?

ok....wallet files moved.  Seed used to reopen the wallet in the new version...seems to be going well until I get an error about being unable to retrieve the Terms of Service... (tired defeated face emoji!)

Any ideas on that one???

I've remained online the whole time...

yes ok - thanks.  Is there a way to open the new version without it trying to open the existing wallets?  It keeps coming up saying they are unable to be upgraded then just exits out of the software.

I have the seed given when I first opened the account - would that be the one to use?

And would that be restoring the wallet in the new version?

haha yeah it's been a while.

Ok I updated...now when it opens there's two wallets that say they are incomplete and cannot be opened.  But the one the transaction is showing pending in (Default Wallet) can be selected and I press next....then it seems to revert to one of the other wallets and says it is incomplete and cannot be opened...


What do I do now???  
Again, I really appreciate the help...

PS - I did use it about 8 months ago without an issue...

thanks again for the help.  My list shows limits and not heights, and there's no info there.  Just dashes -.  And there's no overview tab.  Could I have an older version?

I have deleted the file you said.  And when I go back in the same server is selected with just the synchronizing icon and message.  This time 477636 blocks.

Am I on an older version (2.5.4) and should I just keep working through the server list? 

I've tried changing to another server from the list but the button in the bottom RH corner stays red.  Any other tips on that?

There's no green dot.  No. of blocks is 557449.  It has always shown 'synchronizing' at the bottom left, I don't think I've seen a green dot there yet.

I think I'm on auto-connect for the server.  I'll try changing that.

The server name says yuio.top.  I can't see another server name to choose.  How do I change that?

Thanks a lot to both for the help.

Hi - I don't know a lot about blockchain and confirmations but I have a transaction showing pending in my Electrum wallet.... but looking at it on Blockchain there's 67 confirmations showing.  It has been about 1 day showing pending. 

Shouldn't it be through by now with all those confirmations?  Is there anything I can do?  It normall takes 30-60 mins to appear in the wallet.
