World: r3wp

I don't think having OLA(s) is very useful for posting. It is great 
in when a conversation is going on. Like a year ago when we were 
all working towards a new view, and Carl use the OLA to reply. But 
for general postings it doesn't make any sense. IMHO.

while I've got your attention .. how does one interpret this .. ip/24 
or ip/32  ?

ip/prefix prefix stands for the number of bits that are set to one 
in the network. It is a way to partition the address space.

ie. 10.10.10.0/24 is referreing to any valid ip-address in the range 
10.10.10.0 to 10.10.10.255

what does /32 do then?

10.10.10.5/32 referes only to the ip-address 10.10.10.5 it is a host 
ip-address not a range for a network

ok.

I was just reading in the squid docs that I need to specify for a 
single ip address .. ip/32

;ip address are 32 bits. So when you do a mask comparison 
10.10.10.5 and 255.255.255.255 == 10.10.10.5

;while 
10.10.10.5 and 255.255.255.0 == 10.10.10.0

ok, I guess I need to read up a bit about this to understand it better.

; in general
10.10.10.x and 255.255.255.0 == 10.10.10.0 ; where  0 <= x <= 255

Are you the G dot ? ;-)

That is the reason that 10.10.10.5 and 10.10.10.15 are on the same 
subnet.

255.255.255.0 corresponds to a 24 prefix in CIDR notation.

255.255.255.0 is what used to be know a Class C mask

mr R: after WNS was restored, I had to reboot my world to allow people 
to log  back in.  Sent feedback.

Ah, interesting.  thanks.

I had to reboot my world too as it wouldnt accept my logon/password 
until I did. Never happened before.

usually happens to me .. that I have to reboot after a failure of 
the name server

When you guys say you 'rebooted' your worlds, do you mean, actually 
recreate them?  That's what I had to do as the world names hadn't 
been used as far as the AltME World Lookup Server was concerned. 
 My three worlds (used only lightly) all needed to be restarted in 
the order they were originally created to claim the same IP addresses 
inorder to function properly.

I think world names can expire after 10 days of disuse, so if light 
use means taking a couple of weeks off

they may have just expired

No - I had to shutdown the world and then restart it.

just restart them ..

Tomc, two of them are used every week, one of them daily just not 
alot of users.  One time all my worlds did the very same thing without 
an World Server problem.

I did restart them, just if you have multiple the world server seems 
to reactivate the unstarted world and the port is remembered, so 
you have to recreate them in the same order.

Have you clearly documented this in a FEEDBACK post?

Might be useful to have in the user guide.

I believe I did when this happened before Reichart.  You guys didn't 
find anything at your end to explain it.

Ah.

Odd.

There are soooooooooooooo many subtle issues with the web.  I'm playing 
with an internet camera right now, I get such odd results from it.

OK, I know we've covered this before but how do I remove myself from 
a group (Christianity in this case). This is what I tried:

1. Right click the group

2. Click on my username on the right hand side and observe it move 
to the left ... so far so good

3. Click save and get a dialog that says, "You must include yourself 
in the group."

4. Cancel to dismiss the dialog (I figure "Delete" is asking for 
trouble at this stage)  ;)

???

Right click self, uncheck Christianity

I do that, and click "Save". Each time I open the self profile, though, 
the group is checked again.

you need to log off and on again for this to work

ohh.

That was the missing step, thanks.

I've only asked the same question myself 3x so far :)

it is a usability issue

Actually, this one is a bug + we can improve the UI, and will fix, 
and will improve.

keep up the good work, the more I use it the more I enjoy it :-)

Works like a charm (and quick too).

R: Something like an "Ignore this group" button maybe?

Yup.

for 3 consecutive days, I have experience recycle bug in AltMe. Are 
there anything specific that causes this?

Causes may include clicking before the resync has completed.

But it also seems to be related to the size of the world -- I've 
been getting the recycle bug in the last few days, so possibly Rebol3 
is getting too large.

I recently got the recycle bug  on a single group of a small world 
(repeatdly ) untill someone else posted to that group.  (note my 
client was running on the same machine the world was running on)

Yeksoon, yes, something in Rebol from what we can tell.  I'm not 
quick to blame Rebol actually, but we have talked about this one 
with Carl, and on our next big update (which has a large rewrite 
in it) this bug WILL be gone.
