| 2943 | BrianH | AOD -> ADS | 10-Jun 6:25 |
| 2942 | BrianH | That may be from the security alternate data stream. Get AOD from http://tp.lc.ehu.es/jma/win95.html and see. | 10-Jun 6:25 |
| 2941 | Graham | I moved my AltME from program files to it's own directory so I can now browse the downloads. Now I get a security requester each time I start up Altme ... I guess because it has not been signed. | 9-Jun 19:16 |
| 2940 | BrianH | If you are on Vista (or for that matter any Windows from 2000 up), install AltMe in %appdata%\AltMe. AltMe's directory usage is not Windows 2000 compliant. | 9-Jun 16:02 |
| 2939 | Graham | That makes me Cross | 7-Jun 5:51 |
| 2938 | btiffin | You may need to tweak Search (and these options are buried deep enough that I can't remember) to include non-indexed data. And I like this one; from wikipedia User_Access_Control --- However, David Cross, a product unit manager at Microsoft, stated during the RSA Conference 2008 that UAC was in fact designed to "annoy users", and force independent software vendors to make their programs more secure so that UAC prompts would not be triggered. --- Smart company; annoy a billion people to get 1000 to play nice with Microsoft. I say we get out the torches and chase down Dr. Frankenstein. :) | 7-Jun 4:33 |
| 2937 | btiffin | Re virtual dirs; try C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Altme\... | 7-Jun 4:23 |
| 2936 | Graham | I don't want to see a sea of red | 6-Jun 22:47 |
| 2935 | Graham | If i turn UAC off, it downloads all the world data again. | 6-Jun 22:47 |
| 2934 | Graham | Or, get AltME signed .. that might help. | 6-Jun 22:46 |
| 2933 | Graham | AltME should change the default install directory and not choose the Programs directory in Vista. | 6-Jun 22:46 |
| 2932 | Graham | I believe, because I installed Altme into the programs directory, that the data etc is in some virtual drive system to sandbox everything. | 6-Jun 22:45 |
| 2931 | Graham | I wish to open up the directory where files are shared but the windows explorer doesn't open. | 6-Jun 22:44 |
| 2930 | Graham | Does anyone know where the world is stored in MS Vista when you have UAC on ? I've searched my hard drive and can't find it | 6-Jun 22:43 |
| 2929 | Ingo | It _is_ possible to copy/paste in linux, but altme mangles the two different paste buffers, so ... you have to copy by using ctrl+c, and to insert the text in any other app than altme, use middle mouse click. Works for me on ubuntu 7.10 | 2-Jun 19:47 |
| 2928 | Paul | Some observations for Reichart on making ALTME more viral. 1. Host all worlds for free but unsecured. 2. Tier packages 3. Enable one click access from external sites to ALTME worlds 4. Ads Tier 1) Regarding #1 - I think if you host all ALTME worlds for free that people will sign up quickly. What would drive someone to fork over the cash is going to be traffic. I can bet that once someone starts getting traffic to their world and generating content they are going to want to keep it. ALTME owns the content of the worlds until someone secures it with payment for the hosting account. (Major incentive that rewards growth). 2) Make product tiers that target hosting accounts towards gaining income and visibility for their hosted safeworlds. 3) Think of going to a website and it says something like JOIN the DISCUSSION and then says click here and has a small ALTME logo that launches you into ALTME and then takes you directly to the particular safeworld. and if someone doesn't it have it - it takes you to ALTME download link. Almost all other messaging mediums have this capability. 4) This is an excellent idea to compliment number 2. One tier that can be offers for additional costs would allow ADVERTISEMENTS within the safeworld framework. For example, consider many online forums generate revunue from Google Adsense by placement of ads in their content. ALTME could offer this type of capability as well. This is really an area where I think that REBOL can get great exposure. If advertisements are required to be put forward in REBOL code this means that Google would have to have REBOL programmers develop delivery content to interface with ALTME. I have no doubt in my mind that they would do it. ALTME can boast that it has www.rebol.com as a marketing partner and REBOL.com according to marketleap.com is a "contender" class website showing that ALTME can get the word out if it really wants to. | 31-May 14:29 |
| 2927 | Anton | Command: wine altme.exe -w rebol3 | 24-May 16:31 |
| 2926 | Anton | yes, wine. | 24-May 16:30 |
| 2925 | Louis | Hummm. I'll try it under wine to see how it works out. Thanks. | 24-May 11:24 |
| 2924 | PeterWood | I suspect that quite a few of the AltME Linux users run the Windows version using WINE | 24-May 8:36 |
| 2923 | PeterWood | Double-clicking on a link doesn't open a webapge in your browser either....and you can't even copy the URL to paste it in the browser. | 24-May 8:35 |
| 2922 | Izkata | It works in the input box, but as far as I can tell, nowhere else. So we can't copy/paste code that somene else posted | 24-May 8:27 |
| 2921 | Louis | Does copy and paste not work on AltME running under Linux? | 23-May 9:56 |
| 2920 | james_nak | Thanks. I waited a couple of days an now it is fine (4 worlds running). Since I didn't do anything on my side I'm wondering if the Altme server has something to do with it. Who knows? I'm just glad it works now : ) | 2-May 23:11 |
| 2919 | Brock | Let me start over... host-port is what Gregg is talking about. There is also a host-addr setting that might be the source of my worlds becoming unavailable all of a sudden even though they are used on a daily basis. I'll have to check that out next time my world locks me out. | 2-May 22:14 |
| 2918 | Brock | sorry... host-addr. Good find Gregg. | 2-May 22:12 |
| 2917 | Brock | I believe the file is config.txt in Windows. There is a server-port option. | 2-May 22:11 |
| 2916 | Gregg | I think I found the trick to serving multiple worlds, even if they weren't set up correctly at first. In the info file in %altme/servers/<your-world>/, change 5400 to, e.g., 5401. When you start the world again, it seems to use that port. I haven't tried it with a shortcut start yet. | 2-May 20:54 |
| 2915 | Sunanda | I've seen various annoyances. Can you describe yours in more detail? | 28-Apr 20:06 |
| 2914 | xavier | anybody got the same annoyment ? | 28-Apr 20:03 |
| 2913 | xavier | hi everybody ... i met some problems with altme : problems with a dataset file | 28-Apr 20:03 |
| 2912 | james_nak | Yeah, it is. That's probably why it doesn't work. And worse, now one of my old worlds can't be started. I guess I'll have to wait until the others die. | 28-Apr 17:10 |
| 2911 | Gregg | Thanks guys! That's very helpful information. | 28-Apr 16:20 |
| 2910 | Brock | Pekr is correct from my experience. | 27-Apr 22:13 |
| 2909 | Pekr | It is also placed in your config files on local machine - however, no matter how you try, if you registered new world without old ones running, altme registers it to existing port and then you will face strange situation, when your client is choosing to new world, but is connected to another one ... | 27-Apr 19:22 |
| 2908 | Pekr | yes, the port is stored with the lookup server | 27-Apr 19:20 |
| 2907 | Gregg | Brock, do you know if the port is stored with the lookup server? That is, once created, will that world always serve on the alternate port, even if it's the only world running? | 27-Apr 18:49 |
| 2906 | Brock | Make sure all worlds are open when you create a new one, otherwise it won't use a new port number. It always goes to port 5400 if it's not already serving another world. | 27-Apr 17:54 |
| 2905 | james_nak | Brock, yes that's what I thought. I'm wondering if the problem is that I requested "Too many Servers" from the Altme world-creator itself. I'm talking about starting worlds that I have consistently used for years and one more (to make four) that is new. You've given me another thought though, maybe my own machine is causing this to happen(?) At this point I can only run two of the three existing worlds and never the newest one. Hmmm. | 27-Apr 15:13 |
| 2904 | Brock | I havne't seen it, but I recall the available server ports on one machine to be 5400 and believe it to only go to 5405, but could be wrong. | 27-Apr 13:29 |
| 2903 | Sunanda | Altme has always struggled to show me the latest messages in some groups...That's the reason why some people have used "." a lot to force a group-specific resync. I've just noticed some red groups that have updated themselves for post in March this year and December last year. I guess that's good that they arrived without further prodding from me. But apologies if you're still awaiting some replies from me: I may never have seen yiur post. | 27-Apr 9:00 |
| 2902 | james_nak | Anyone ever seen a "Too Many Recent Servers" error when attempting to start a world? And is the limit 5 or 3 worlds running on a single PC? | 27-Apr 2:08 |
| 2901 | Henrik | found it. it's a WHAT-DIR issue. | 15-Apr 15:15 |
| 2900 | Henrik | I was wondering that. However I don't know what could be permission denied, if I simply delete the entire AltME dir and reinstall it from scratch and the problem still persists. | 15-Apr 13:03 |
| 2899 | Anton | Maybe it's a permissions problem ? | 15-Apr 12:44 |
| 2898 | Anton | Ah... sorry, it's AltME's registry, not Windows' | 15-Apr 12:44 |
| 2897 | Anton | Can you trap the registry accesses ? | 15-Apr 12:43 |
| 2896 | Henrik | it's mainly a problem on OSX Leopard, but I see it elsewhere too. | 15-Apr 8:31 |
| 2895 | Henrik | it seems also to happen mostly when changing world from one to the other. I haven't been able to run multiple AltMEs on one machine for a long time. | 15-Apr 8:30 |
| 2894 | Henrik | What exactly can cause "AltME Error: Registray cannot load dataset files: 2" during startup? I'm getting it so many times on various machines, I'm starting to think it's a bug in AltME rather than data file corruption by something else. Whenever it happens when I'm trying to log into a specific world, it's "jinxed" and I can't log into it anymore on that machine. It does not help to just delete the whole dir, redownload AltME and start from scratch. | 15-Apr 8:28 |
| 2893 | Sunanda | Ingo <I'm not talking about these 3 lines for this exact problem, but about understanding enough to find the same info for another post> Apologies for delay in replying. *** The URL for the web archive has this parameter for the post in question: post=r3wp157x10054 And the two lines of code are: core-chat: reduce load/all %157.set text: last core-chat/10055 As you can see, the GROUP-ID is 157 and the POST-ID is 10054 -- but add 1 for the REBOL code as the file has a header line. *** To get the GROUP-ID either RIGHT-CLICK the group name in ALTME. Or find the group name in the Web archive: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/aga-groups-index.r?world=r3wp Does that demystify it? As Reichart implies -- it's easy when you know how :-) | 7-Apr 19:28 |
| 2892 | Pekr | I think it is built-in. I have not found it exposed in any config .... | 7-Apr 14:05 |
| 2891 | Oldes | Is it possible to change associations? For example if I don't want Altme to use Notepad? | 7-Apr 13:10 |
| 2890 | Pekr | I think, that AltME would greatly benefit from DevBase model. DevBase is live demostration of community collaborative work. If AltME client (not necessarily server) sources would be uploaded, we could see good bunch of small refinements, fixed proxy, etc. | 7-Apr 9:51 |
| 2889 | Brock | Yes, I agree that is needed. I'd also like to see a way to re-assign a world name after it is dropped and no longer 'reserved' or associated to my IP, but don't know if this is possible, since it seems to have lost my IP... maybe this is an ISP thing when IS recycles IPs since I have a Dynamic IP... probably the answer. | 7-Apr 9:28 |
| 2888 | Pekr | Brock - the only one thing is needed to those experienced - one field for manual port assignation. If you are admin, you have to know what the port means anyway, as you have DST nat connection on your router .... | 7-Apr 6:33 |
| 2887 | Edgar | Something weird corrupted my AltME login to this world. I had to delete the file "state" and let AltMe recreate it. This happened right after the new AltME update. Before I deleted it, it was logging me in but keeps giving me an internal error about state path being none while I am already logged in. I sent the error to feedsback 3 times. Deleting the "state" file fixed it for me. | 7-Apr 6:14 |
| 2886 | Graham | Just been locked out too many times with the wrong password. | 6-Apr 2:22 |
| 2885 | Graham | I've been defeated .. I've changed all my passwords to be the same :( | 6-Apr 2:21 |
| 2884 | Gregg | Same issues here. | 6-Apr 2:04 |
| 2883 | Brock | I finally gave up and resolved myself to only host one world. Seems to have remedied the problem, although I still have occasional world name drops. The other problem I had is it would not allow me to connect to my world, and when 'restarting' the world, it would say my world name is in use, thus forcing me to change my world-name and asking my users to do the same when trying to connect. Luckily it was just for family, so they did it without complaining. | 5-Apr 14:37 |
| 2882 | Brock | I also had problems with worlds that were not 'reserved' running on theh same Win98 machine. I had frequent drops of the worlds... the world server thought people hadn't been on the worlds in 90 days so the server released the name. This happened really frequently, even though the worlds in question were accessed every day or every couple of days. | 5-Apr 14:35 |
| 2881 | Brock | I had lots of problems with this in the past as well as I was trying to setup some test worlds to hook some people. I created the worlds consecutively with no other worlds running and ran into the same problem of them all being associate with 5400. | 5-Apr 14:34 |
| 2880 | Brock | Pekr, my limited experience with multiple altME worlds is you need to have the other worlds you are hosting running at the same time you create your new world. It will assigne the next available port to that world. | 5-Apr 14:30 |
| 2879 | Pekr | in 5) lack = luck | 5-Apr 13:45 |
| 2878 | Pekr | Thanks eventually and sorry, if I miss some important steps, but I tried to follow docs, which should be sufficient enough me thinks :-) | 5-Apr 13:44 |
| 2877 | Pekr | So what do I think AltME id doing wrong, or at least not making life to admins easy? There is no problem for me to to open ports on FW. This is not about opening ports only, but precisely speaking it is about setting DST-NAT to your target PC on internal network: 1) AltME records your internal IP adress when setting up your world. Don't even try to run it on different PC in your internal network. Even if you have all ports OK, this one thing will ruin all your efforts. Dunno if it adds to any kind of security, but in my eyes it is completly unnecessary obstacle. But maybe it is usefull when running altme servers fully on your local network, so that AltME "DNS" can direct your local clients to correct internal altme server. I can live easily with this one, but ... 2) Today I created new world. No matter how you try, it always registers AltME world on port 5400. There is no ability to set it differently. 3) Even if you start altme -s "my-world" -p 5401, it will not help you, and it still opens the world on port 5400 (at least that is what I saw with netstat -an), which is imo a bug 4) even if you change \servers\my-world\info, still no luck. When you go to http://www.altme.com/cgi-bin/lookup.cgi and you type-in your world name, you still can see, that AltME.com has registered 5400 port, but not e.g. 5401 5) even if you run your altme -s "my-world" -p 5401, and even if you send your client to 5401 port by changing \worlds\my-world\config.txt, you still has no lack. It is apparent, that no matter how your client is instructed, it takes info from altme.com for granted, and overrides your local settings, which can be proven by 6) 6) Running two worlds - my-world on 5400 and my-world1 on 5401 (names obfuscated here), I found out, that Altme client does not care of Altme server name at all. That can be proven by typing my-world1 and using account from my-world, you are succesfully logged in to my-world, instead of my-world1, as client obtains port 5400 instead of 5401 I have one and only one question - how can I change my world port number on altme.com, or in other worlds - how do I REGISTER world on different than 5400 port? :-) | 5-Apr 13:43 |
| 2876 | Pekr | Today I tried to run start two altme servers. I want to try to get some guys hooked. I would like to state, that I am semi experienced (still not guru) networking guy, and I do run wi-fi network with 30+ routers for 420 customers, so not novice. | 5-Apr 13:29 |
| 2875 | Pekr | Where AltME is terribly wrong (or I am terribly stupid): | 5-Apr 13:27 |
| 2874 | Reichart | : ) (I know), but it is cool that such a thing can be done with so little code because of a) REBOL b) the format AltME files are stored in. | 3-Apr 22:04 |
| 2873 | Ingo | I'm not talking about these 3 lines for this exact problem, but about understanding enough to find the same info for another post ... Of course, this may be equally easy. | 3-Apr 20:29 |
| 2872 | Reichart | Yeah, a whole three lines of code. | 3-Apr 13:21 |
| 2871 | Ingo | ahh, I see. So it's nothing for the faint of heart ;-) | 3-Apr 8:32 |
| 2870 | Sunanda | I wrote the code that published the Altme archive on REBOL.org -- so I had to reverse engineer the Altme data structures. | 3-Apr 8:26 |

| 2862 | Reichart | Cool, thanks. Every report is filed, catalogued, grouped in a folder, placed in a bank box, collected in a wood crate, and placed along with thousands of similar crates….er, or, that was Raiders of the Lost Arc….ignore me… | 1-Apr 2:56 |
| 2861 | RobertS | ah .. under HELP. done | 1-Apr 2:05 |
| 2860 | Reichart | Always report errors to AltME feedback, that way they are in the ticketing system. This group is best used to talk concepts... | 1-Apr 0:32 |
| 2859 | RobertS | As you can see, I was having trouble as this new install populated lists: any time that I hit the enter key the post vanished but the list would not refresh by just going to another topic and returning to this altme topic. Hence the 3 stutters in trying to report what may be a known issue as I was not sure if my post was in limbo or lost in the ethereal bit bucket | 31-Mar 16:53 |
| 2858 | RobertS | I am getting an error on new altme installs on Windows XP on PC's which have not had a prior install; install, accept updates (some 13 files are offered for downl0ad - I think after entering Rebol3 world ... at which point altme dies with a warning that cannot write to track directory as it may not exist; restart of altme then proceeds fine; | 31-Mar 16:50 |

| 2851 | btiffin | We need more testing. Although the recent blog entry may change things a little we need lots of grunt test case wrting. They are built around a test engine that loads the cases, so these are not standalone scripts. | 27-Mar 0:08 |
| 2850 | NormanDep | Im was wondering, does Altme Linux/Debian need more specific testing to get out of Beta stage? If you need more Linux testing drop me a note. | 26-Mar 20:26 |
| 2849 | JohanAR | When I closed AltMe a few seconds ago I got this error message: "Server reported error in unknown-request because of: Ôtatus" | 25-Mar 5:55 |
| 2848 | Graham | altme has always been blocking in this respect | 24-Mar 3:51 |
| 2847 | BrianH | I would think that Comcast is up to its old tricks, but I've seen this problem elsewhere too - same computer, different line. | 24-Mar 1:08 |
| 2846 | Paul | I have had some delays also but doesn't sound as bad as yours. So i wonder why someone would have less delay than someone else - maybe that is where the focus of the problem shoudl be. | 24-Mar 1:06 |
| 2845 | BrianH | The bandwidth is fine - it's an architectural bug. AltME shouldn't block on retrieval at all. Any blocking should happen after the message has been retrieved, just long enough to post the message to the GUI, no more than a millisecond. | 24-Mar 1:03 |
| 2844 | Paul | Do an test of your bandwidth at speakeasy.net or something. | 24-Mar 1:01 |
| 2843 | BrianH | Mine is set at 1000 too. Let me be clear here: I get the slowdown whenever AltME retrieves a message, even if I didn't write the message. Today, the messages have mostly been from Paul :) | 24-Mar 1:00 |
| 2842 | Paul | My message size is set at 1000. Seems when I go 10000 or more it gets a bit slow | 24-Mar 0:58 |
| 2841 | BrianH | It might be a factor that I am connected to the internet through Comcast. | 24-Mar 0:57 |
| 2840 | BrianH | I don't think so. Even one line messages have been blocking me for 30 seconds or more. | 24-Mar 0:56 |
| 2839 | Paul | Message size limit in Altme? | 24-Mar 0:55 |
| 2838 | Paul | Does the buffer size make a difference? | 24-Mar 0:55 |
| 2837 | BrianH | Is there a way to have AltME not block when it is downloading a message? I am getting tired of having AltME lock up on me when I am typing - it has interfered with my conversations quite often today. | 24-Mar 0:53 |
| 2836 | Paul | It supposed to support socks proxy but MS proxy requires either Kerberos authentication (the current standard) or NT LAN Manager authentication. Doc's implementation does the NT LAN Man authentication. Which if ALTME does that it means support for older windows systems as well since older ones don't support kerberos. | 18-Mar 22:17 |
| 2835 | Pekr | I experienced proxy problem too last week, when I tried to connect at meeting room at our dislocated company location. I needed go via the proxy. Dunno if AltME supports proxy at all? | 18-Mar 19:35 |
| 2834 | Paul | We currently have a need for such a tool but it would have to support msproxy authentication because EDS personnel work from many client sites as well. | 18-Mar 13:21 |
| 2833 | Paul | Any chance of getting an ALTME version that support MS proxy authentication. I know that DOC Kimbel has a proxy authentication that works on large enterprise environments. If it can work, I will go to EDS and see if they would support purchasing ALTME as a collaboration solution. | 18-Mar 13:21 |
| 2832 | Reichart | Robert, thank you for donating your computer to our server farm while you were away… JK | 18-Mar 5:13 |
| 2831 | RobertS | I walked away from this PC about 24 hrs ago after posting a note; I returned to find the browser very sluggishl taskmgr showed altme consuming 90+ % of CPU; I had no screen saver set. I killed the process. One of the last things I recall doing in altme was clicking on an http link ( whihc was why I found IE7 running slow ... I use Firefox generally from an icon or the start menubut leave IE7 as the default browser | 18-Mar 2:56 |
| 2830 | Reichart | Ashley, LOL, this is why I have never seen this either... OK, whom ever, please report in Feedback... | 17-Mar 2:45 |
| 2829 | Paul | Yes Ashley - different passwords here | 15-Mar 21:35 |
| 2828 | Graham | I think it takes the currrent world password and applies it to the world you're changing to. | 15-Mar 21:35 |
| 2827 | Graham | well, if you use the same password you won't see the bug! | 15-Mar 21:34 |
| 2826 | Ashley | Do you have different passwords for each world? I use the same one on 5 worlds, swap frequently between them, and have never seen this bug. | 15-Mar 21:26 |
| 2825 | Paul | Ahhh yeah that password bug. With switching from REBOL3 to the R2-Beta world so much lately I have experienced that bug often. | 15-Mar 11:12 |
| 2824 | Sunanda | the password bug is very annoying. I've never seen it with the dropdown [near the top left of window]....only switching via the Homw button | 15-Mar 9:03 |
| 2823 | Henrik | I got a crash from that recently. What's more annoying to me is that the Cancel button often is ignored during connect. | 15-Mar 8:49 |
| 2822 | btiffin | If you change worlds too quickly, sometimes the password field doesn't get a chance to update before the link connection. So the remembered value for the new world gets trampled and you have to resort to brain power and password typing. :) | 15-Mar 7:05 |
| 2821 | Reichart | What is the password bug? I must have missed something... | 15-Mar 6:32 |
| 2820 | Graham | Anyway time for a new build of Altme with 2.7.6 encap ... no more black dos boxes ... | 15-Mar 6:04 |
| 2819 | Graham | but if I put it on youtube, everyone will know my passwords! | 15-Mar 6:03 |
| 2818 | btiffin | :) Just write the passwords on a post it and stick it on your tube. But yes I agree. | 15-Mar 5:22 |
| 2817 | Graham | This password bug is really really annoying. | 15-Mar 5:14 |
| 2816 | Pekr | I vote for "mark all read" as most usefull function needed right now :-) Those who use multiple PCs, where you join AltME on one not being online for weeks know what I talk about :-) | 11-Mar 5:38 |
| 2815 | Reichart | Hmmm...I was thinking of it showing all of them, but the WHOLE bar is a single button, that rolls through them.... | 11-Mar 4:09 |
| 2814 | Brock | novice users = less computer literate users | 10-Mar 15:29 |
| 2813 | Brock | Although the converse of that, hidden features are sometimes not found by novice users. Having them visible is always best and minimizes mousing around & clicks. I like the idea of more items, but from a usability standpoint the feature should be more obvious. | 10-Mar 15:27 |
| 2812 | Reichart | Good idea. | 10-Mar 4:17 |
| 2811 | Paul | Just thinking about the ALTME left side list pane. I think instead of clicking each item such as "M" "Users" and "Status" that there should just be one button the top left that you can click and rotary thru the list screens. The caption above the list pane tells you already which pane your viewing. This allows you to add other options on the top of the list columns. Just makes it more concise and user friendly in my opinion. | 9-Mar 18:16 |
| 2810 | Louis | Thanks for the comments, Gregg. | 8-Mar 15:10 |
| 2809 | Paul | Yeah I believe your right. | 7-Mar 23:13 |
| 2808 | Louis | Paul, if I understand correctly, your company would have to purchase the Enterprise Server which is not free. See: http://www.altme.com/products/altserve.html | 7-Mar 18:27 |
| 2807 | Paul | Was hoping to pitch ALTME for a need that our managers have at work | 7-Mar 18:12 |
| 2806 | Paul | Or does it require the internet for people to be able to find the world name? (I assume it does) | 7-Mar 18:12 |
| 2805 | Paul | Can ALTME be used on a close network that doesn't have access to the internet? | 7-Mar 18:11 |
| 2804 | Gregg | Yes, the other thing is that it may be served from anywhere, so how well a world scales depends on the machine running it. If you want the best scalability, serve it from a good machine, or have them host it. | 7-Mar 16:05 |
| 2803 | Louis | Gregg, that is my concern. I just wonder how many users until communication breaks down in the sheer volume of messages. Communication is very difficult---there are so many barriers. AltME is great for small groups though. | 6-Mar 20:56 |
| 2802 | Gregg | This is the largest world I'm on. The number of messages is the killer, because of the way it loads data. | 6-Mar 20:33 |
| 2801 | Louis | Seriously, I wonder if anyone has a world with around a thousand users. If so, I would be interested in some comments. | 6-Mar 20:26 |
| 2800 | BrianH | Until an AltME built on REBOL 3 comes out, it will have to do. | 6-Mar 20:26 |
| 2799 | Louis | Is that all? | 6-Mar 20:25 |
| 2798 | Geomol | Louis, if you look in the file "users.set" under a AltME world, the user number is an integer, so I guess with current implementation, max is 2'147'483'647. | 6-Mar 18:36 |
| 2797 | Gregg | It would be a combination of the number of users, number of messages, bandwidth, and server resources. | 6-Mar 16:36 |
| 2796 | Gregg | I don't think there's a hard limit. | 6-Mar 16:35 |
| 2795 | Louis | What are the maximum amount of users that AltME can handle? | 6-Mar 8:42 |
| 2794 | Reichart | Thanks John... | 26-Feb 6:14 |
| 2793 | Geomol | Henrik, altme/prefs/window on disk. | 25-Feb 16:50 |
| 2792 | Paul | Thanks Brock. | 25-Feb 12:43 |
| 2791 | Henrik | does AltME store information about window maximization somewhere? I have an annoying problem under OSX Leopard, when I switch my macbook between the internal 1280x800 screen and my external 1680x1050 screen where AltME sometimes decides that the window should be maximized at all times. When resizing the window, the content will be resized, but the window itself fills out the entire screen except for the menu and the dock. It does not fix itself until after a reboot, so I don't know if it's a bug in AltME or Leopard. | 25-Feb 12:17 |
| 2790 | Reichart | Yup... | 25-Feb 7:04 |
| 2789 | Brock | Paul, I believe it is just a limitation of this World. I have file sharing available on a personal world that I maintain. | 25-Feb 4:07 |
| 2788 | Paul | Does the folder sharing features work yet in Altme? I never have seen any shared out folders so was just wondering. | 25-Feb 1:10 |
| 2787 | Reichart | Best to send something believed to be a bug to Feedback...since then it is queued. | 24-Feb 16:52 |
| 2786 | Pekr | wouldn't it be best to contact Reichart privately, and ask him, if the fix would be possible? Maybe there is some little bug somewhere, which would not take long to fix? | 24-Feb 11:09 |
| 2785 | Robert | I try again. Someone mentioned he got AltME run through a proxy. I still failed with support from programs like Proxifier etc. But please note that I tunnel all the traffic through SSH as well. | 24-Feb 10:50 |
| 2784 | Henrik | and apparently multiline messages don't work on this machine. strange. | 23-Feb 19:52 |
| 2783 | Henrik | it would be nice to see a list of files that you are about to download in the file sharing module. there's nothing useful about seeing dialogs with "There are 5 files to download.". | 23-Feb 19:52 |
| 2782 | Henrik | I wouldn't want the material to disappear, but if it could be very compacted, perhaps. | 11-Feb 21:10 |
| 2781 | Paul | Maybe make optional expirable groups that way if a post doesn't take place for some time in a respective expirable group that group will expire and clean itself up. | 11-Feb 21:07 |
| 2780 | BrianH | The alternative suggested was threaded discussions. | 11-Feb 20:31 |
| 2779 | Henrik | we talked a little bit about subgroups in the r3-alpha world: a group that holds subgroups, for particularly shortlived topics, like an event (last nights episode of XYZ TV show) or for short discussions of questions. this avoids mashing separate subtopics into one group and they wouldn't scroll out of view as quickly. | 11-Feb 20:25 |
| 2778 | BrianH | Or at least tabs. | 11-Feb 20:22 |
| 2777 | Henrik | would be nice to allow opening groups in separate windows. | 11-Feb 20:20 |
| 2776 | Robert | It's not about running my own world. It's about connection to worlds. The thing is that this port 5500 seems to be an incoming port. And this one is routed wrong. | 2-Feb 9:17 |
| 2775 | Tomc | Gregg : I run my own world ...I just never log off of that one. | 1-Feb 20:39 |
| 2774 | Pekr | In order to run your own world, you need to DST-NAT (forward) particular incoming port to your machine. | 1-Feb 12:19 |
| 2773 | Pekr | 5500 is for World lookup - outgoing. 5400 is incoming port, when you run your own worlds. 5400 - 5400 is vaguely described. But maybe it is because most ISPs don't block outgoing connections at all. | 1-Feb 12:18 |
| 2772 | Pekr | 5400 is incoming port IIRC | 1-Feb 12:16 |
| 2771 | Brock | My understanding is it uses port 5500 to check the world server and 5400-5409 are dedicated for your world addresses, incoming and outgoing. The AltME client itself simply uses your default internet ports, 80, 8080. | 1-Feb 12:16 |
| 2770 | Robert | I tried to use a SOCKS proxy for dynamic tunneling but AltME doesn't seem to have SOCKS support done right or at all. | 1-Feb 10:39 |
| 2769 | Robert | I read the docs. But the port 5400-5409 are outgoing ports. So no problem to tunnel them. But than AltME gets back via port 5500. But AltME directly contacts to my system, not using the tunnel. | 1-Feb 10:38 |
| 2768 | Gregg | So everything looked good. Even the AltMe test page said they were reachable. But the AltMe client couldn't see them. | 1-Feb 0:01 |
| 2767 | Gregg | They would start on the server just fine from the shortcut, but I couldn't connect to them until I did that. | 1-Feb 0:00 |
| 2766 | Reichart | To confirm, you are saying that to start a world, you "had to click on" [Start a World]? | 31-Jan 23:59 |
| 2765 | Gregg | Just figured it out two minutes ago. | 31-Jan 23:53 |
| 2764 | Gregg | I got it back up. I have shortcuts that use the command line options to start the worlds. That doesn't work. I had to go into the UI and choose Start a World, then I could see them again. | 31-Jan 23:53 |
| 2763 | Reichart | We are tracking these down. | 31-Jan 23:52 |
| 2762 | Brock | the one world I have been running was no longer activated. Same problem I've always had with AltME. The world name is not payed for so therefore after inactivity would be released to be reused by others. However, it is accessed daily, but still get's released every once in a while. I can now access it after re-registering it. | 31-Jan 23:45 |
| 2761 | Pekr | I will by trying to start one on Saturday ... | 31-Jan 23:06 |
| 2760 | Gregg | I guess nobody else here is running their own worlds. | 31-Jan 23:05 |
| 2759 | btiffin | I'm still getting exists but not on-line. | 31-Jan 17:50 |
| 2758 | Gregg | Is everyone else able to see their own worlds now? I can see RT worlds, but not my own, even one I start locally. The test page on the AltMe site says they should be reachable. | 31-Jan 17:43 |
| 2757 | Graham | If the lookup server dies, then no one can reconnect to a world anywhere. This is how Altme controls access. | 30-Jan 22:06 |
| 2756 | btiffin | Robert, no docs but check worlds/rebol3/config.txt and prefs/prefs.txt | 30-Jan 20:48 |
| 2755 | Pekr | Robert - http://www.altme.com/guide/advanced.html#sect0.7. | 30-Jan 20:46 |
| 2754 | Gregg | I think 5400 is the main port. | 30-Jan 20:36 |
| 2753 | Tomc | I know ....just razzing | 30-Jan 20:28 |
| 2752 | Henrik | it may have been a DNS problem, because I was connected to the r3 world the whole time and could send messages just fine. of course it's no fun if there is no one to respond. :-) | 30-Jan 20:26 |
| 2751 | Tomc | robert I think whatever you tried broke safeworld ;^) | 30-Jan 20:23 |
| 2750 | Robert | Ports: Hi, I want to setup AltME in a way that it connects to a local port-forwarding proxy which than tunnels the connections. What local ports does AltME use? And what are the remote IPs / Ports I need to use? | 30-Jan 12:49 |
| 2749 | Graham | it was a version I downloaded late last year. Expired now I guess. | 26-Jan 6:52 |
| 2748 | Ammon | Graham what version of Xandros are you using? | 26-Jan 4:48 |
| 2747 | Reichart | Windows :: Right click, select properties. | 25-Jan 19:06 |
| 2746 | james_nak | What's the file size limit in Altme nowadays? | 25-Jan 17:58 |
| 2745 | Graham | I might just try pure wine instead. | 24-Jan 21:28 |
| 2744 | Graham | Interesting. I tried to run Synapse under Xandros and it crashed. | 24-Jan 21:28 |
| 2743 | Anton | Runs very well. | 24-Jan 13:07 |
| 2742 | Anton | I'm on 0.9.49. | 24-Jan 13:04 |
| 2741 | Ammon | I was running AltME under Wine 2+ years ago and it was working perfectly... | 24-Jan 11:48 |
| 2740 | Gabriele | i'm on 0.9.53... but i assume it does | 24-Jan 11:43 |
| 2739 | Graham | Altme runs under wine 0.9.28 ?? | 24-Jan 9:54 |
| 2738 | Ammon | Ah... That would explain it. Thanks. | 19-Jan 12:14 |
| 2737 | Reichart | This is not a bug...simply, I left this world, and rejoined... | 19-Jan 4:48 |
| 2736 | Ammon | I don't see Terry in the Video Tutorials group... | 17-Jan 17:38 |
| 2735 | Henrik | if you can't see him, he's probably the one who is none | 17-Jan 17:37 |
| 2734 | Ammon | Where? | 17-Jan 17:36 |
| 2733 | Henrik | ammon, can you see Terry? | 17-Jan 17:34 |
| 2732 | Ammon | Reichart, I lied. You're only not "none" in some cases like in this group for example, however in the Video Tutorials group all of your posts show as being posted by "none" Someone else in that group is also showing as "none" I'll give you more info on this when I get a chance. | 17-Jan 17:33 |
| 2731 | Reichart | : ) | 17-Jan 5:26 |
| 2730 | Ammon | Last night, for the second time... When I connected to Altme Reichart's name was "none" his color was correct though. The first time this happened it was on a different computer and Reichart remained "none" for the duration of the install so I had to reinstall. Altme seems to have corrected itself somehow this time. Reichart, you will be pleased to know that you are no longer "none" | 16-Jan 16:06 |
| 2729 | Chris | Suggestion: ctrl-click on a message equivalent to right-click. For one-button 'mouse' users (ie. Mac) | 8-Jan 15:44 |
| 2728 | Reichart | Group. | 3-Jan 23:16 |
| 2727 | BrianH | When you post an alert to a private group, does it go to all members of the world or just that group? | 3-Jan 20:11 |
| 2726 | Anton | I propose: checklists to appear in the same list as users and groups. Then they can be sorted by most recently modified, turn red and be noticed. *Then* the "Links" group could become a checklist, avoiding chat. or The "Links" group could be automatically scraped and the links put into a "Links" checklist. | 31-Dec 1:44 |
| 2725 | Henrik | more reason for my blog post, I guess | 28-Dec 10:06 |
| 2724 | Henrik | amazing | 28-Dec 10:06 |
| 2723 | Reichart | In fact, this exchange should be on the front page of RebolTalk.com : ) http://www.reboltalk.com/forum/index.php/topic,278.msg937.html#msg937 | 28-Dec 3:09 |
| 2722 | Reichart | See.........now as scary as this might seem, I did not even know about RebolTalk.com! | 28-Dec 2:53 |
| 2721 | Henrik | Reichart, I guess it does. I just wanted to make a small guide on my blog to how to get in here as quickly and as painlessly as possible and who is reliable to contact about that. Currently the ML seems to be the main way in, while other post on reboltalk.com. | 27-Dec 23:09 |
| 2720 | Reichart | Yes, I serve as back up for Gregg. Henrik, if you are asking "who can people contact" as in send an Email, I don't know... this is why I want to unify the REBOL ML on Google Groups. Then someone can post in the ML, and anyone who happens to see it can post it here. The option is the way we do it now, which is if someone contacts anyone already in here, they tell us in Accounts, and we create an account because that person is vouching for them. Does that answer your question? | 27-Dec 22:33 |
| 2719 | Gregg | Just don't get me harvested. :-) | 27-Dec 19:47 |
| 2718 | Gregg | I'm a world master here. Might be good to have another one who is around a lot though. Reichart is back, and he usually takes care of things pretty quickly when he's around. | 27-Dec 19:47 |
| 2717 | Henrik | Before I make an ass of myself on my blog for the umpteenth time: Who can new people contact to sign up for AltME? | 27-Dec 14:18 |
| 2716 | Graham | The synapse chat client was completely async as it used Beer. | 26-Dec 19:04 |
| 2715 | Graham | I think it must be blocking as when I'm typing and a message is being downloaded, I have always noticed that keyboard input is slower. | 26-Dec 19:02 |
| 2714 | BrianH | It happens more often when I have more than one world up. | 26-Dec 19:01 |
| 2713 | BrianH | It seems to me that the process of retrieving a message is blocking, or otherwise synchronous. On a crappy connection that process may have to do some retransmits, or may be slowed down for other reasons. The solution is to make the retrieval of a message asynchronous, and then just sync during the local update once the message is retrieved. | 26-Dec 19:01 |
| 2712 | Graham | I"m supposed to have a 10mbs connection | 26-Dec 19:00 |
| 2711 | Graham | OPI | 26-Dec 18:59 |
| 2710 | BrianH | Perhaps your internet connection is better than mine, Graham. I usually use AltMe from other people's internet connections. | 26-Dec 18:58 |
| 2709 | Graham | Still see the password bug occasionally though. | 26-Dec 18:49 |
| 2708 | Graham | I never see it. | 26-Dec 18:48 |
| 2707 | Reichart | "focused" | 26-Dec 18:23 |
| 2706 | Reichart | Please send to Feedback. | 26-Dec 18:23 |
| 2705 | Sunanda | I see it quite often, Brian. | 26-Dec 18:22 |
| 2704 | Reichart | Freezing...hmmm. Don't know. I don't see this (much) | 26-Dec 18:20 |
| 2703 | Reichart | Perhaps it does not see much use because we are fractured. If we all jumped on one, we would become focuses? | 26-Dec 18:20 |
| 2702 | BrianH | I've been noticing AltMe freezing when retrieving a message - when done, it goes back to normal. Is this a network latency or speed problem, or something else? | 26-Dec 18:06 |
| 2701 | Gregg | There is a REBOL Google group, but it doesn't see much use: http://groups.google.com/group/rebol | 26-Dec 18:06 |
| 2700 | Reichart | Given the trouble with the Mailing list as well (feedback), what about simply moving everything over to Gmail Groups? All these problems have been solved by them already. It has IMAP access, so you can still do ML archives. And it is all free. There are a few things about Gmail Groups I don't like (but I suspect all ML have the same problems), I simply don't like Email in the first place, so I'm biased. I think a big move to Gmail would have many positive aspects: - Feedback problem is gone, since you can have multiple moderators that can check. - We have a centralized location for requests to AltME - We can make it public already, so you may be able to avoid some of the tools you have been using to do this. - We are working "with" other systems, as opposed to "invented here" - There are other services Gmail offers that might enhance the experience. | 26-Dec 16:04 |
| 2699 | Henrik | well, I'll write a blog entry about it | 26-Dec 13:24 |
| 2698 | Sunanda | There is no simple, obvious, method of joining this world....
....If you discover it via the REBOL.net archive, there is no info at all about joining
http://www.rebol.net/altweb/rebol3/ ....If you find it via the REBOL.org archive, there is a note in the Help page about requesting membership via the Mailing List.....So first, you got to join the ML and it has to be working that day :-( Let's come up with something better guys! My opening suggestion.....membership can be requested by sending an email to a specific gmail account that the Admins here monitor. | 26-Dec 9:52 |
| 2697 | Pekr | I can write down the case and provide it as a FAQ entry ... but if it does not affect any other user, it might be worthless ... | 21-Dec 11:39 |
| 2696 | Pekr | And that is where I am easily able to correct myself ... we have xy users with Vista already here, noone having the same problem .... | 21-Dec 11:38 |
| 2695 | Pekr | The part I am not good at I admitted - the possible cause being Active Directory policy, which could override even my admin local settings, if I am connected to domain. | 21-Dec 11:38 |
| 2694 | Pekr | Actually, what I found out, was not user's error at all ... | 21-Dec 11:37 |
| 2693 | Reichart | I'll correct for the future... | 21-Dec 11:37 |
| 2692 | Pekr | Edgaer pointed me two times to the same link. Reading thru all the text twice, it does not answer any question. The link rather stupidly suggests to users, that you have to be admin etc etc. and more or less describes, how to change default program. Did that, xy times. Did that for each one possible file suffix. Once again - file system worked all fine, it is just AltME, having problems. | 21-Dec 11:34 |
| 2691 | Pekr | Reichart - ego or not, I am more than experienced user, if not more, or I would not be where I am. (Well, otoh even chief of IT could be moron, so maybe you are right :-) | 21-Dec 11:33 |
| 2690 | Reichart | "- I am kind of experience user, don't worry." I don't worry. However, what I do is treat all people and problems the same way, which is not to make any assumptions. Sadly this method often conflicts with ego. "Edgar, gee, can't you read?" Interesting to read someone else trying to help you, you snapping back, and then realizing that it was in fact you who was not reading… As I said, I try to not make any assumptions. Perhaps some energy spent on appreciated those trying to help you would go a long way… | 21-Dec 11:27 |
| 2689 | Pekr | I have no better experience, just worse one. I would like to meet the idiot, who designed user access to network layer. There is so many intermediate screens it is not funny anymore. | 21-Dec 10:35 |
| 2688 | Pekr | I hate Vista too! There are two camps of users - those who can see advantages (I can see them too, in security mainly), and those who can see it as waste of 1.5 billion of USD. I am part of the latter camp - absolutly useless effort imo .... | 21-Dec 10:34 |
| 2687 | Edgar | If my work is not in computer developments, I would replace it with XP already. | 21-Dec 10:16 |
| 2686 | Edgar | Yep, I see that too. Did I mentioned I hate Vista? | 21-Dec 10:15 |
| 2685 | Pekr | I clicked Custom, then FireFox - there are three options in there - Use recent browser, IE, FF .... even if FF is "default browser" for my OS, I had to specifically click it here, and now AltME opens FF finally! Strange thing is, that when I now return back to the same menu, once again Use recent browser is selected, but FF is now used .... | 21-Dec 10:15 |
| 2684 | Edgar | Ok good you found it. Make sure you close AltMe then open it again for it to work. | 21-Dec 10:14 |
| 2683 | Pekr | OK, done, thanks a lot! I never saw clicking radio button brings you to new screen, gee, what is that? :-) | 21-Dec 10:12 |
| 2682 | Edgar | We must be seeing something different. I get the option for changing the different extension if I pick the second option. I think I will post an image later. I am not in my Vista computer at this time. | 21-Dec 10:11 |
| 2681 | Pekr | I have also edited file extensions for .url, .mhtml, .mhtm, and registered those with FF too ... still no luck from AltME :-) What function does AltME use? Just REBOL's 'browse? | 21-Dec 10:09 |
| 2680 | Edgar | I meant clicking custom gives you more choices. | 21-Dec 10:09 |
| 2679 | Pekr | All 9 from 9 options for FF are checked. From filesystem, doubleclicking .html opens FF. | 21-Dec 10:08 |
| 2678 | Pekr | I have FF registered as default. | 21-Dec 10:08 |
| 2677 | Pekr | Custom mode is default. | 21-Dec 10:08 |
| 2676 | Edgar | I guess we must be seeing different things. I see three choices, first one is to choose the default programs, second is is detailed to specific extension and protocol, then the third one that has one of the choice is custom. I choose the custom and select the default browser as FF. In this option, you can even disable IE. I change the setting in the third option. | 21-Dec 10:07 |
| 2675 | Pekr | FF *is* my default browser, and it works in whole OS ... except the altme ... | 21-Dec 9:17 |
| 2674 | Pekr | now I reregistered even .mht and .mhtml with FF .... still no luck | 21-Dec 9:17 |
| 2673 | Pekr | Edgar, gee, can't you read? What do you think I was doing? | 21-Dec 9:13 |
| 2672 | Edgar | It should work. | 21-Dec 8:59 |
| 2671 | Edgar | Pekr, just use the link for the instructions that I posted. | 21-Dec 8:59 |
| 2670 | Pekr | still no luck. Now even .url is registered to FF, checked via filesystem, yet AltME still opens IE. | 21-Dec 8:33 |
| 2669 | Pekr | Will make some coffee and restart notebook, maybe it helps ... | 21-Dec 8:21 |
| 2668 | Pekr | Hmm, found .url extension separately, changed to be started by FF, but AltME still opens IE here ... | 21-Dec 8:21 |
| 2667 | Pekr | Reichart - I am kind of experience user, don't worry. When I click on .html or .htm (or any other form), FF gets started. Vista usese a bit different form of registration imo. It e.g. states, that my FF has 9 from 10 possible registrations, so I added even another one. However, I might know, what AltME is using. I checked on what is still registered with IE, and it is - .mht, .mhtml, .url. So my suspicion is, that what AltME or OS does, is that it uses .url. When I rename .html file to .url, it gets IE icon. I will have to wait for my folks to return, because I don't know, why the .url option is greyed in IE section - maybe some Active Directory policy rule, dunno ... | 21-Dec 8:11 |
| 2666 | Edgar | Make sure you have AltME closed when you change it or close it then open it after changing it. I used "Set program access and computer defaults" and selected custom then picked Firefox as my default browser. | 21-Dec 7:49 |
| 2665 | Edgar | http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/72b76107-08c3-47a7-92f4-f2085403e26b1033.mspx | 21-Dec 7:43 |
| 2664 | Edgar | I just figured how to select the default browser for AltME in Vista. | 21-Dec 7:43 |
| 2663 | Reichart | This really should not be a problem in the first place...this really seems like some IE thing. Pekr, what happens if you save an HTM or HTML file, and double click on it? | 21-Dec 4:52 |
| 2662 | Chris | Paul, you could always write a script that manipulates the server files. R: would there be a way to push the altered data to clients? | 21-Dec 2:43 |
| 2661 | Pekr | I have registered 10 of 10 possible things for FF, but it still does not work. I noticed there are still 3 entries registered with IE, one of them being .url, but it can't be deselected (is greyed), even if I am admin. I really don't like Vista, it is complete shit. To display file associations it took 20 secs here on 2GB RAM, Core Duo machine ... | 21-Dec 2:39 |
| 2660 | Pekr | it is FF. I am no Vista. With my former notebook, I had one problem, where FF was chosen, but Vista still kept IE and it could not be deselected (and I am local admin). With my recent notebook, I simply have FF registered .... | 21-Dec 2:25 |
| 2659 | Reichart | Check what you have associated with your HTM and HTML file types... | 21-Dec 0:16 |
| 2658 | Graham | Altme uses FF for me. | 20-Dec 20:49 |
| 2657 | Pekr | How does AltME launch web browser? I have my browser defaulted to FF, but it always starts IE. Not that it would be much of a problem, but IE proxy setting is set by our Active Directory rule with each log-in, so at home I have to constantly change the proxy setting each time I get home, in order to be able to start links directly from AltME .... | 20-Dec 18:14 |
| 2656 | Henrik | the only way to do that is to export it as HTML and edit the HTML file | 20-Dec 14:34 |
| 2655 | Paul | Will there be any capability to go back and edit an already submitted post in the future. I would love to use ALTME for some Bible discussion but it would have to allow me to go back and edit past postings and have some better formatting features for the layout of the posts such a font size, font type, color, spacing, etc.. Any likelihood of that coming soon. | 20-Dec 14:30 |
| 2654 | Reichart | Yes, we are working on another update. It is the end of the year, and developement is about to slow down again, but the bug is ranked high... | 7-Dec 15:53 |
| 2653 | Graham | Sunanda reports that the bug is present for him still .. though I have not seen it in the last day. | 6-Dec 21:06 |
| 2652 | Graham | done. | 5-Dec 3:52 |
| 2651 | Reichart | Please do...thanks... | 5-Dec 3:45 |
| 2650 | Graham | nope... maybe Sunanda did... he experienced it first. | 5-Dec 3:41 |
| 2649 | Reichart | Did you submit the password problem to the Feedback page on SafeWorlds? | 5-Dec 3:29 |
| 2648 | Graham | Now that Reichart is no longer none, perhaps we can ask if this password problem can be fixed??? | 5-Dec 3:00 |
| 2647 | Graham | Hope this 1.2.15 fixes the password problem | 29-Nov 6:37 |
| 2646 | Sunanda | I see 10 code snippets, so possibly you have fallen victim to one of the several Altme resync problems. As far as I know, the only way to recover is: 1. exit Altme 2. delete the worlds/rebol3 folder (make sure you remember your password first) (actually, safer to rename the folder to, say, OLD-rebol3) 3. restart Altme and connect to REBOL3. Expect it to take a while as it reyncs the whole world -- 25 meg or so of stuff. | 26-Nov 16:37 |
| 2645 | Henrik | hmm... my code snippet check list is empty. did something happen? | 26-Nov 16:31 |
| 2644 | Alan | thanks ! forgot that I had installed the windows fonts on Mandriva so why it worked with it. Old age :) | 22-Nov 20:02 |
