hmm, I am a clever guy, right? :-) Here's my packet sniff using WireShark 
(Ethereal):


cmd: open data: ["testik" 0].cmd: lookup data: [new 64#{xRXJdGGJkqhVd9WK5FzbXXZdT9o=}] 
.cmd: info data: [64#{oCjeSRyaoHOn75+8XOLs3tfSXalI1/XH} 192.168.0.136 
5400 1.2.13 0 *].cmd: lookup data: ok .

sunanda, I'm posting a bug report

So, it is now clear, that Atlme.com gathered my local IP address 
:-) Now it is clear to me, how is that my local PC knows where to 
connect locally ...

are we still open for suggestions? I now have mostly everything with 
altme, but I want one small button - mark all read :-)

yes, that would be nice.

Are you kidding? That, and a better "notifier."

Thanks Henrik: <<sunanda, I'm posting a bug report>>
I already did too!

Good, that means we might get their attention. :-)

Does right mouse click copy to clipboard work for you? As for me, 
for few versions already, I have a problem with that. Dialog box 
appears, but there is not text in the clipboard ....

varies .....

sometimes it works .. often not

I just discovered (at least) one of my altme chat files was corrupt....One 
of the lines in the file was truncated halfway through.

I deleted the entire REBOL3 folder, restarted Altme, and let it resync.

I now have a zillion red groups.

Plus a lot of wrong settings (like the last two pressed of enter 
transmitted the line)


But I do have a dozen or so groups with messages I'd never seen from 
up to two months ago.....It was drastic but it has fixed the resync 
bug for me, at least for a while.

you need the "all read" setting instead of the "all red" one

I notice if you switch worlds too quickly, it fails to change the 
saved password :(

I noticed that too some time ago....Which is why I can [have to] 
remember all my altme passwords :-)

It works better (ie forgets fewer passwords) if you click the dropdown 
at the top left to change words.

New version of Altme installing itself....

Several bug fixes -- including the search/scrolling one that Henrik 
and I reported just a couple of weeks ago.

That's the second bug-fix release in a month -- looks like Safeworlds 
are giving some attention to Altme again -- thanks guys!

Windows : release 1.2.14 
Linux : release 1.1.29    :(

Thanks a lot! So I might as well post a with to have button for "mark 
all read" :-)

And one supporting vote to our linux friends!

Well, mine says 1.1.29, too (linux, of course) count this as a vote 
to a linux update, too ;-)

yay, R3 bugtracker also fits on my screen now :-)

Here's another vote for a Linux version

Frank, I have Kubuntu Linux + Wine + Altme 1.2.14

Has anyone noticed problem with altme like tjhis:
When I run altme I can scroll messages window with mouse wheel.

When I lose connection and reconect after that  mouse wheel is not 
working any more....???

I haven't seen that myself.

Neither do I Ubuntu + Wine + Altme 1.2.14

Funny.... since my question it didnt happen again :)

i have some difficultes to construc devbase.r , missing icons in 
the title, any idea ?

sorry, wrong place

just wondering how you guys are getting Altme to work with Kubuntu/wine 
? I have Kubuntu 7.1 installed and when I try to run Altme off my 
Windows install, the Altme screen is just dots in place of text ? 
I was able to run Altme with no problems with mandriva/wine

you need to install the core windows fonts. run adept, and search 
for the msttfcorefonts package

actually, it's msttcorefonts. sorry.

thanks ! forgot that I had installed the windows fonts on Mandriva 
so why it worked with it. Old age :)

hmm... my code snippet check list is empty. did something happen?

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.

Hope this 1.2.15 fixes the password problem

Now that Reichart is no longer none, perhaps we can ask if this password 
problem can be fixed???

Did you submit the password problem to the Feedback page on SafeWorlds?

nope... maybe Sunanda did... he experienced it first.

Please do...thanks...

done.

Sunanda reports that the bug is present for him still .. though I 
have not seen it in the last day.

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...

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.

the only way to do that is to export it as HTML and edit the HTML 
file

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 ....

Altme uses FF for me.
