Send a message to Sunanda.

Thanks, very modern approach ;p

You could send me a message as well.

It really irks me that I can't use AltME on my phone. My internet 
landline has been iffy lately, but if I have problems with my phone 
connection I can just walk somewhere else.

You going to blame Carl ??
BrianH

Nope, I don't do blame.
And I don't have the time to write one myself :(

File sharing bug: Initial comment can only be 100 chars long. Subsequent 
edits can be longer than 100 chars.

Are the proxy settings in AltMe working? I tried to run AltMe from 
work by inserting the proxy settings but it fails to connect to the 
internet. The docs on the website would seem to suggest that there 
is no proxy but having them in the settings confused me.

Many proxies don't work
Eg. squid with Rebol

IMHO I think you should consider what message your user naming convention 
send to new users. For me it says that you treat some persons differently. 
That is bad if you like more people to come here. No one want's to 
be treated differently. Either you let everyone use whatever name 
they like or all use the same rules.

We have a username convention here :) ?
Ladislav

Hmm, I guess, that some of the administrators here enforce a convention, 
some may not, and that is why there is a "mix".

I thought you can just give a preferred user name on signup.
But it's a long time since I signed up, so .... :)
Henrik

I don't mind funny nicks as long as the full name is also there. 
Makes it easier to find out who is who in other social networks.
Sunanda

[5414]
The preferred convention is real names.


People have been grandfathered in (from the previous worlds) with 
nick names.


If you do not like the member name you have, it can be changed if 
you put a good case to the moderators.

I wouldn't mind changing my ID to my real name if that can help.
MagnussonC

Don't change anything for me. It's your call to choose how you want 
things to appear for the not yet initialized Rebol visitors. You 
already filter away the visitors pretty well by using AltME as the 
main forum ...
Henrik
11-Nov-2011
[5417]
That's not our decision. Users choose which method is best for communication 
and so far, AltME holds up pretty well. Users are free to use open 
forums like rebolforum.com or the Synapse forum.
Andreas

Or join the #rebol IRC channel on freenode.

If forgot the reason, why some groups are prefixed by "!" ? Is that 
for products or does it mean commercial or what?
Dockimbel
23-Nov-2011
[5420]
IIRC, it was for products.
BrianH
23-Nov-2011
[5421]
Particularly products written in REBOL. The !REBOL* groups are named 
like that because REBOL is partly written in REBOL.
Geomol
23-Nov-2011
[5422]
Thanks!
Reichart
24-Nov-2011
[5423]
I started adding the ! and ~ to help denote products that were REBOL, 
and offtopic stuff "~", etc.  

Sort on Alpha, anf it becomes very clear.

I use AltME on two computers. Is there a way to have the messages 
colored unread only once, regardless of which PC I use to access 
my account?
Henrik
30-Nov-2011
[5425x2]
Not that I know of.
If you click on the little wrench over the groups list, you can mark 
all messages read once.
Kaj

That was planned, but never implemented

I added links to Boron and World to "Links" under checklists.
Kaj
29-Dec-2011
[5429]
Changed Boron to the website home, and added an extra link for this 
source code repository
Andreas
29-Dec-2011
[5430]
Removed the link to the Boron source code repository, as this link 
is also prominently present on the Boron website.
Kaj
30-Dec-2011
[5431]
Apparently not prominently enough, considering that some people here 
think it's closed source

Is there a newer than v0.4.2 AltME client version for Linux Debian?
Found the link for v1.1.24
Kaj
10-Jan-2012
[5434]
That's also ancient. You should get 1.2.21, which auto-updates to 
1.2.25
Evgeniy Philippov
11-Jan-2012
[5435x2]
Official 0.4.2 available on AltME site works OK on gNewSense and 
auto-upgrades to 1.2.25
which works OK, too
Kaj
11-Jan-2012
[5437x2]
That's not 0.4.2, that's version 1.2.21 for REBOL platform 042, meaning 
x86 Linux
The beta links on the site are dangerous and should have been removed 
years ago

AltMe behaves oddly. It does no longer show groups with new messages 
in red, even it loads down some of the new messages
Gregg

I have had that issue with private messages at time here. Maybe due 
to the size of the world?
sqlab

after a few restarts it went away. maybe un unknown problem with 
the syncing
Kaj

Was that in one group, or in multiple groups?
