World: r3wp

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.

We are annoyed by it also.  It hits me about 2 times a week, I run 
3 clients on my system most of the time.

The before/after button in the Serach window...  What is it doing 
in which state?

Toggle GUI Elements have a tendancy to confuse me unless they are 
a radio button or checkbox where the meaning is clear.

You never know how the developer was thinking when he designed it... 
 Visible text is current state, or click to switch the state that 
the visible text refers to?

Sent feedback on the date selector.  It doesn't like TODAY.  Switch 
the value to any other day and try to select TODAY, you'll pull an 
error 100% of the time...

Reichart, I really appreciate AltME.  It is a great application.

I makes getting help a lot faster.

Ammon, yeah, I agree.  We are slowly locking down what I call a "pattern 
language."  In other words using the same UI parts the same way everywhere.

Louis, thank you.  Slowly but constantly, we move forward.

May I ask what the Depot folder and its contents are?  It looks useful!

LOL, yeah, info on all the directories will be coming.  We are waiting 
for our next update before we let people start poking things.

Ok...  Patiently waiting... ;~>

In a world as large as this one, perhaps there should be a way to 
quickly view Group information such as descriptions.  Maybe even 
the ability to search the groups to see if a group relevant to your 
next post exists or if you should create a new group for the post.

what about a smaller planet, like Mars?

Yeah, we are playing with something like that.

Such a feature would likely be quite usefull there as well...

Does AltME have a DCC file-send type of thing?

no

maybe upcoming major update will have, but that is question for Reichart 
to answer. If I understand it correctly, it will feature ability 
to extend AltME with other apps ...

ok, I was just wondering
