Hello,  
After the recent Anki Web update, I’m unable to synchronise my account :  
When I click on synchronise on my desktop, this message appear : AttributeError: ‘Syncer’ object has no attribute ‘hostNum’.

Anki 2.1.1 Python 3.6.1 Qt 5.9.2 PyQt 5.9  
Platform: Mac 10.13.6  
Flags: frz=True ao=False sv=?  
Caught exception:  
File “aqt/deckbrowser.py”, line 90, in \_\_renderPage  
File “aqt/deckbrowser.py”, line 137, in \_renderDeckTree  
\<class ‘AttributeError’\>: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘decks’

I tried to force sync in one way in my preferences options, still not working.  
Does anyone have the same problem, and have a solution ?

It looks like you are using a version of Anki that is quite old. Simply try upgrading.
