World: r3wp

I got an "Invalid username or password" again, this time during starting 
AltME and auto-login. It was accompanied by an error abort, which 
I sent in to feedback

This time I had upgraded the server from 1.1.24, I think, to 1.1.28

problem: after I've posted my message, content is not refresh, I 
can't see answers, but then i post next  message i see that  there 
are some messages - answers for me

julia, it's an old syncing problem that is well known

but apparently very hard to fix

and what i have to do?

there is not much to do, but sometimes posting something in the dot 
group helps syncing. sometimes logging out and in again helps, but 
not always

thanks

Julia, are you on dial-up?

.

here's an idea: how about some kind of softlinks to specific places 
internally to AltME? Say I want to link to another group, a specific 
check list or a calendar day, a bug report in a bug tracker or a 
file in the filesharing tool.

I suggested a path notation to each message (or at least to a date) 
some time ago.

On hte list already.  We are looking into XPath type stuff right 
now in fact for other stuff as well.

That would be cool.

Anyone else getting intermittent dropouts of your AltMe connection, 
or is it just me?

Fairly often.

not me today ...

I have never experienced the syncing problem. I am wondering if it 
might not help for all of us to fill out a detailed questionaire 
about our hardware, operating system, ISP, and anything else that 
could possibly be causing this problem.  Perhaps by examining these 
filled out questionaires a common cause can be located and then fixed.

brianH, I experienced some dropouts a couple of days ago, which also 
affected rebol.net, but that is gone now.

On AltME 1.1.28, Windows 2000, I just uploaded a new PDF. Immediately 
thereafter, the local file was shown as out of date

When I downloaded it back from the server, I got this:

Download failed for Syllable Inc./Marketing/De_Graaff_OSS_adoptiegedrag_van_ondernemers_webversie.pdf 
because write-failed - Is the file open or in use?

This keeps happening at the end of the download, so I can't even 
access the file from AltME

What's the size? I think the current limit is 2-3 Mb.

Ehm, 2.4 MB. Yes, that could be it, but the upload was OK, apart 
from the wrong status, and the download seems to go to 100%

Please send that to AlteME feedback.  In fact since our system for 
tracking bugs is really good from the site, that is the best place 
to post bugs.  If you have a question though, you are always welcome 
to ask me directly, I will try to answer what can be answered.

I'm starting to see regular recycle errors again ...:(

All of a sudden?

Did you change you max messages over 100?

Not recently.  Let me check to see what it is now.

It was 400 ... I've changed it to 100.

I think what we might do is set this to 100, let people change it, 
but only while they are in session.  When they exist, set it back 
to 100.

Did you mean exit?

He does.

:)

R you need to allow search to return messages bodies fron before 
the 100 limit (just checked mine had been set at 5000 for that reason)

Tom, I thought that the message limit was for displaying messages 
.. but search was not limited to that number.

Search is not limited

But you get a message saying something like "can't show you that 
result cos of your message limit"
So you have to increase your message limit to see the results.

S:  that is correct

don't know if that is in the todo list, but for exporting conversations, 
would it be possible to cover up email addresses?

That is not on the list.  Please post that to Feedback on AltME.com 
 Thanks.

done

anyone know if I can only serve 1 world from a PC?  Or is there some 
way to startup a second world?

Efish, I regularly serve at least 2 and sometimes 3.

I usually just start a 2nd instance of Altme.

Here is an article on this: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint

Sorry Wrong group...

eFish, you can start multiple worlds automatically by placing a shortcut 
in your startup folder for each instance you want to automatically 
start, using a command like the following...
C:\Program Files\AltMe\altme.exe
 -s "<Worldname>" -p <portnumber>

I was clicking at a lot of groups just a few seconds ago after installing 
altme on a new computer .... :-) ..... but I'm getting faster everytime 
and if one is fast one can see pretty nicely that the event-queue 
is working, because even though altme is not fast enough in keeping 
up with setting groups to "read", it doesn't miss any groups already 
clicked on. :-)

yeah - mark all groups read is what I do miss :-)
