okey i downloaded the new ''patch'' her on the website yesterday and now i need to know if i have to uninstall the 0.30 version of PRMM to make it work??
Another question why is my ABR list of server just showing every server as offline?? Is it because i have to uninstall the 0.30 version to play the 0.31 version

There are two ways to upgrade to .31
- By having both EA 1.3 patch installed and PRMM .3 and then downloading and installing the light PRMM .31 patch
- Or you just have the EA 1.3 patch and are new to PRMM and would download the full .31 install (which is about the same size that PRMM .3 was)
PRMM .31 makes .3 compatible with EA 1.3, so there is no need to uninstall anything.
As for why ABR is 'down', because EA changed a setting that disabled things like ABR. Hopefully ABR or EA can fix that.

Hm, haven't looked at the ABR client, so I can't say for sure, but BF2 1.3 changed the gamespy query protocol slightly, so perhaps that broke the ABR client.
You can see that Yahoo's All Seeing Eye is not so all-seeing at the moment, either

They haven't updated that thing in ages.
As a side note: Don't use the ABR client with 1.3, anyway, as you'll get CTD's because of EA's changes that break ranking redirects on the client-side.

Yeah the ABR client is useless now due to the changes EA made. However, ABR still works server side so all stats are being recorded and can be accessed via the various stats sites.
