I know it's a known bug, but it happened first time for me: strange 
datatype during recycle.
While clicking a red group during syncing.
AltME 1.1.28 Windows XP
Additionally, after restarting I clicked the same group again, after 
syncing had finished. And it crashed again.

No problems when I first clicked another group, and then the one 
that had crashed altme.
Just an idea, do you think that it can help to send you zips of the 
AltME dir after a crash?

Thanks Ingo, but no, we can make that bug happen also.
Somewhere in this thread we talk about why each happens.

Is there a way to unsubscribe from groups inside a World ??

Only if the group is set to private (ie Public not clicked),

I also just noticed that if I have two worlds open, and open the 
calendar in one of them, it's not clear which world the calendar 
belongs to, so it's easy to add events to the wrong world by accident.

Here's a bug, at least in the Linux version of the new AltME. I tried 
to upload some photos from a camera application, with names like 
DSC0123.JPG. Instead, AltME created extra files DSC0123.jpg with 
zero length and uploaded those
Another thing is that private folders are visible to other people. 
I think their existence should be unknown, like chat groups

Is it a bug? It works under window...but not under linux...clicking 
on "Explore directory" (debian version 1.1.29)  Altme reports me 
->  /bin/bash: line 0: fg: no job control
i started Altme like this -> $./altme
Option request: Changing Nickname..Now that is probaly not possible 
but I guess that switching Nick <-> Realname is an option?
By the way.... On the www.rebol.com and www.rebol.net websites it 
is mentioned that all the FUN happens at Altme! Well I believe that 
;-) BUT new users are unable to login!.... try that for a change.. 
Try seeking how to login on REBOL3 ...perhpas handy to mention that 
a Guest account is like ie "Guest" "guest".. I could not find it...

Just found that my Altme (1.1.28) opened console and started to print 
"Show on face in closed window." Then crashed.

Altme 1.1.29 just Hung on me... had to press Ctrl-C to close it... 
It happened during startup, I guess during Sync of the msg-groups... 
the window just banked "white" on me..
Oke..No guest account..well then i think Carl better removes it from 
the website because it can cause some unwilling irritations with 
new users ;-) Or create one ?
Again Altme..blanked "White" on me... now while it was running for 
15 minutes...
And again...Altme Hung !!.. Its a Sync problem for sure ..
And again !!!..But i think i found the problem ;-) just a sec...
There are 2 problems as it looks...

(1) A Refresh problem of the Altme interface..Under linux with multiple 
desktops it looks like Altme is not refreshing the interface while 
switching desktops (Im using Xfce currently)


(2) A sync problem.. I was just typing inhere while everything stopped 
working...


Would be nice to have some debugging output in de console on whats 
going on...???
And now switching "Groups" did hung altme..
Now it happens every 3 minutes.. can even type a normal message..
Not typing a message for xx minutes does hang Altme too
ill stop now..its not clear what it is ;-)

what OS are you using? No single problem since new altme versions 
.... I suggest you to remove old version, and install from scratch 
... new altme releases completly removed otherwise frequent crashes 
here ...

Linux..
The problem is the old linux version keeps nagging about updating..(that 
dont work).. ;-)
Ill try and remove everything... back in a sec or two..
Well... there anr't any old linux version available from altme anymore... 
only debial r31.1 beta.. Mmm ill just try a fresh install with that 
then..
Lets see if version 1.1.29 runs better...
Im still here.. ;-)

Well... i just dowloaded thatone from the Altme website main page 
..
Its says on the webpage 3r.1.1 but its in fact 1.1.29
debian version
Intresting but irritating... Altme started from a Linux shell is 
able to be backgrounded.... ater starting Altme from the shell $./altme 
 you can background the altme process (3x processes) by pressing 
in the shell Ctrl-Z..Well that is commonly known.. But typing "jobs" 
doesnt show up anything.. also a "fg" doesnt work.. So actualy the 
Altme processes are currently roaming... Not quiet handy i would 
say..
then again.. it perhaps is... Closing the shell did not close Altme.. 
thats a good thing !
But now i need to Kill altme or gracefully close it from within altme...(as 
it should)
This is a pain!! doing a process on the Altme binary.. it does return 
i.e PID 4090.. but Altme is not on PID 4090 but on 4091 4092 4093.. 
So the main process is killed by altme or respawned.. Thats irritation 
, this means the above behaviour is unusable and thus a bug..
HA.. now it worked.. Im flabberG'ed..Ctrl-Z nog backgrounds the way 
it should..
Running altme with "Special Options" does create this error.. (1.1.29 
linux)
