World: r3wp

Hmmm...I was thinking of it showing all of them, but the WHOLE bar 
is a single button, that rolls through them....

I vote for "mark all read" as most usefull function needed right 
now :-) Those who use multiple PCs, where you join AltME on one not 
being online for weeks know what I talk about :-)

This password bug is really really annoying.

:)  Just write the passwords on a post it and stick it on your tube. 
 But yes I agree.

but if I put it on youtube, everyone will know my passwords!

Anyway time for a new build of Altme with 2.7.6 encap ... no more 
black dos boxes ...

What is the password bug?  I must have missed something...

If you change worlds too quickly, sometimes the password field doesn't 
get a chance to update before the link connection.  So the remembered 
value for the new world gets trampled and you have to resort to brain 
power and password typing.  :)

I got a crash from that recently. What's more annoying to me is that 
the Cancel button often is ignored during connect.

the password bug is very annoying.

I've never seen it with the dropdown [near the top left of window]....only 
switching via the Homw button

Ahhh yeah that password bug.  With switching from REBOL3 to the R2-Beta 
world so much lately I have experienced that bug often.

Do you have different passwords for each world? I use the same one 
on 5 worlds, swap frequently between them, and have never seen this 
bug.

well, if you use the same password you won't see the bug!

I think it takes the currrent world password and applies it to the 
world you're changing to.

Yes Ashley - different passwords here

Ashley, LOL, this is why I have never seen this either...
OK, whom ever, please report in Feedback...

I walked away from this PC about 24 hrs ago after posting a note; 
I returned to find the browser very sluggishl taskmgr showed altme 
consuming 90+ % of CPU; I had no screen saver set.  I killed the 
process.  One of the last things I recall doing in altme was clicking 
on an http  link ( whihc was why I found IE7 running slow ...  I 
use Firefox generally from an icon or the start  menubut leave IE7 
as the default browser

Robert, thank you for donating your computer to our server farm while 
you were away…

Any chance of getting an ALTME version that support MS proxy authentication. 
 I know that DOC Kimbel has a proxy authentication that works on 
large enterprise environments.  If it can work, I will go to EDS 
and see if they would support purchasing ALTME as a collaboration 
solution.

We currently have a need for such a tool but it would have to support 
msproxy authentication because EDS personnel work from many client 
sites as well.

I experienced proxy problem too last week, when I tried to connect 
at meeting room at our dislocated company location. I needed go via 
the proxy. Dunno if AltME supports proxy at all?

It supposed to support socks proxy but MS proxy requires either Kerberos 
authentication (the current standard) or NT LAN Manager authentication. 
 Doc's implementation does the NT LAN Man authentication.  Which 
if ALTME does that it means support for older windows systems as 
well since older ones don't support kerberos.

Is there a way to have AltME not block when it is downloading a message? 
I am getting tired of having AltME lock up on me when I am typing 
- it has interfered with my conversations quite often today.

Does the buffer size make a difference?

Message size limit in Altme?

I don't think so. Even one line messages have been blocking me for 
30 seconds or more.

It might be a factor that I am connected to the internet through 
Comcast.

My message size is set at 1000.  Seems when I go 10000 or more it 
gets a bit slow

Mine is set at 1000 too. Let me be clear here: I get the slowdown 
whenever AltME retrieves a message, even if I didn't write the message. 
Today, the messages have mostly been from Paul :)

Do an test of your bandwidth at speakeasy.net or something.

The bandwidth is fine - it's an architectural bug. AltME shouldn't 
block on retrieval at all. Any blocking should happen after the message 
has been retrieved, just long enough to post the message to the GUI, 
no more than a millisecond.

I have had some delays also but doesn't sound as bad as yours.  So 
i wonder why someone would have less delay than someone else - maybe 
that is where the focus of the problem shoudl be.

I would think that Comcast is up to its old tricks, but I've seen 
this problem elsewhere too - same computer, different line.

altme has always been blocking in this respect

When I closed AltMe a few seconds ago I got this error message: "Server 
reported error in unknown-request because of: Ôtatus"

Im was wondering, does Altme Linux/Debian need more specific testing 
to get out of Beta stage? If you need more Linux testing drop me 
a note.

We need more testing.  Although the recent blog entry may change 
things a little we need lots of grunt test case wrting.   They are 
built around a test engine that loads the cases, so these are not 
standalone scripts.

Sorry, didn't notice the forum, moving to !REBOL3

LOL

I am getting an error after 1) download altme to new PC; accept updates; 
 enter Rebol3 world;

I am getting an error installing altme

I am getting an error on new altme installs on Windows XP on PC's 
which have not had a prior install; install, accept updates (some 
13 files are offered for downl0ad - I think after entering Rebol3 
world ... at which point altme dies with a warning that cannot write 
to track directory as it may not exist; restart of altme then proceeds 
fine;

As you can see, I was having trouble as this new install populated 
lists: any time that I hit the enter key the post vanished but the 
list would not refresh by just going to another topic and returning 
to this altme topic.  Hence the 3 stutters in trying to report what 
may be a known issue as I was not sure if my post was in limbo or 
lost in the ethereal bit bucket

Always report errors to AltME feedback, that way they are in the 
ticketing system.

This group is best used to talk concepts...

ah .. under HELP.   done

Cool, thanks.  Every report is filed, catalogued, grouped in a folder, 
placed in a bank box, collected in a wood crate, and placed along 
with thousands of similar crates….er, or, that was Raiders of the 
Lost Arc….ignore me…

.. and eventually.. one day... brave explorers will come and discover 
the secrets of the ancients..

I am unable to select text at the end part of the long post RobertS

This happens somewhere around the line

Does anyone else have this problem? (I'm on Altme 1.1.29, Ubuntu 
7.10)
