World: r3wp

About notice on private messages, we have alerts, that pop up a window. 
And if you use dividers, the "All Users" dividers will turn red, 
when you get a private message. So there's the notice, you asked 
for.

Oh, I didn't notice this ... thanks

exactly - most people don't notice it .. as it's in the wrong part 
of the visual space.

Reichart is resistant to the first idea .. has been made many a time 
by me and others


Uh, no........I love the idea.  I love the idea so much that when 
we were building our other product the first thing we did was put 
this feature in.  However, on AltME, that is not at the top of the 
list of what we are doing next.

Geomol....thank you.

Is there a way to make a horizontal scrolling forum?  Altme should 
do that and become revolutionary.  I think it could be pulled off.

feature request: filter on users or users not in particular groups

ahh.. the old days of BBSs . .. threaten to add someone to your killfile.

if you care enough to theaten then perhaps you ought not use them

I never threatened .. just used them.

I remember those days vividly - spitfire, majorbbs, gtpower, vbbs, 
wildcat, and so many more

Yeah, better filters will be an issue over time.  Please send that 
one to feedback.

It might be a side feature to something else.

I see the REBOL4 world is still available.  Maybe RT needs to reserve 
a lot of 10.  Just kiddin Carl.  ;-)

Hello. I just created this account here and I have found one problem 
with AltME. It's definitely nothing major seeing as it only applies 
to less than 7% of the people in the world but here it goes. I am 
red-green deficient (partially colorblind) so it's very difficult 
for me to tell which groups have messages that I haven't read yet. 
The red and black almost look identical. Like I said it's nothing 
major but, for the next version would it be possible to change the 
unread messages color? It would help me and just a few other people 
out.

< than 7% of all people, or all males ?

James...do you know what scheme might work for you?  Maybe you know 
all your options?

you do know if you click on the "M" the most recent is at the top...

maybe a tree in front of the person's icon, indicating that the view 
is not clear because there are messages stacked in front of the person 
for you to read...or an envelope icon?

Or the little dude could hold up its hand indicating it wants you 
to answer.

In answer to the male question, yes that would be referring to males. 
Less than 1% of females are colorblind.

I think the icon idea would work but you could also just have an 
option like when you set your user color that sets the color of groups 
that have not been viewed yet. That way I could set it to bright 
orange or something.

please send that to feedback...built into the panel when you start 
AltME...

anyone know if the altme server allows you to add your own modules 
(like the bug tracker we used to have in the rebol world?)

and does it allow to create an view of the world, in real time, or 
is that something which can already be done with the altme client 
version, when running a world?

I mean the  "altserve"  product...

When we have group dividers, why are some groups named with a "!" 
prefix ? I find it annoying when manual searching in alphabetical 
order.

they were to indicate which were SDK products

Any flash experts here?  We need a posting tutorial like this one 
: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php

the ! has sort of become a standard which refers to specific applications, 
instead of just when taking about a topic.  The world masters usually 
add it to a group when they feel it is appropriate.  Basically everything 
that goes into products...

mmm... oh well... the world is not perfect...

Graham wrote "< than 7% of all people, or all males ?" 

Is there any difference (here).  As a matter of fact, other than 
Cindy, are there any females here?

James, yes, good point, as a general rule I try not to use colour 
alone to denote things.  Oddly, you are the first person to mention 
this.

Please note the 7% issue in your feedback, this will push it up on 
the list (the list is big), but we do fix things in a specific order.

Feature Request:  I'd like a one button push or automtated/timed 
solution to bring up the "Getting Started Window" OR remove focus 
from all groups.  Why?  If you aren't actually using AltME (it's 
running in the background), and you get new messages, the messages 
in the group you are currently 'in' aren't highlighted as new.  Which 
can make it confusing when the tool tells you a new message has been 
received, but you don't see a hightlight on any group (and don't 
check the time on the messages in the 'current' group).

Is ALTME development dead or stifled?

Graham, that is pretty funny (Posting).

you should post that in Hunmour!!!!  Not here!

AltME is being worked on, but the big features we are working on 
(as opposed to lots of little ones) will take a while (there is a 
complete rewrite going on).

Wasn't there someone else working on an ALTME clone?

I can only pray.

What is the largest world in ALTME?

Rewrite with big features:  That sounds very promising.  Looking 
forward to it.

Don't know, I don't keep up on it.  But this one is in the top 100.

Actually, since the reset, that might not be true.

We don't track other people's sizes per se.

Got ya.

Can you even really know, since you don't host all of the worlds?

I guess its gonna knock our socks off when we see it.

Yes, becuase we can track connections, but we don't do that exactly, 
so "really  know?" prob not.

Do you have stats on things like the number of worlds 'active' and 
how many you host and how many are hosted elsewhere?
