I agree.

Currently my scrolling method (on mac) is to click down on the scrollbar, 
move the mouse outside the window, then release.  Moving the mouse 
up and down gives relatively good scrolling control.  Works on both 
the chat window and user list.

Today, it is horrible to communicate in AltMe, I had to close the 
program and restart it a couple of times already to be able to get 
my message through

I don't have problems today, though my antenna connection is not 
great.

Why isn't there an archive project here that cleans up older groups? 
 If a group has been non-active for over a year and is private group 
then it gets deleted.  Public groups that have no activity for over 
a year get archived?

I would suspect that we would gain a performance increase if this 
was done.

Anyone?

I think it would really only make a performance increase for initial 
downloads of new users.

Also, many of those groups contain valuable information. It's almost 
always a bad thing to delete a group, losing the history.

It's almost always a bad thing to delete a group?  Are you serious? 
 What is so bad about it?

Ok, keep your REBOL Trash then.

Because I'm sure noobs come here and see a bunch of junk.

I don't know how much we woudl gain Paul, and I do consider when 
and what to clean up from time to time. Your point is noted.

I am working on Linux.is there a way to increase the font size

?

Click the icon with the little A and big A, directly above the text 
entry area.

Thanks NickA.

It helps (at least for the main discussion area).


Anyway to change the font size for the panel on the left as well 
 (where it shows the Groups)?

I am pretty sure that's not an implemented feature.

Can admin please reset xavier's password ...

... Done, Graham.

Slower than usual for everyone or is it just me?

fine here

.

It's working okay for me too ... well, the usual delay  is present

The usual delay increased to multiple seconds for me. Well, ...

fingers crossed that it'll get better soon :)

Stop torrenting for a while .. see if that helps

its up and down... was annoying earlier... seems better right now.

about  0.75s now.

and sometimes, instantaneous.

.

2.6s for me

A signal to leave AltME alone for now, and do something more productive 
:)

I downloaded http://www.intellipool.se/their networking monitoring 
tool to try out ...

We need a more specific tool to monitor rebol services and servers

I've received an update. Something with checklists not updating properly 
has been fixed.

I clicked on the button to show me the details and then it didn't 
offer to update again

It took me to this page
http://www.altme.com/new.html

Are you stuck on an older version than 1.2.25 ?

1.2.24 ...

I have 1.2.25 here.

I had the same thing Graham.....But when I restarted AltME, it was 
1.2.25.

it was in an upgrade loop .. kept asking me to upgrade to .25 after 
I upped

Search and extract AltME messages:

For anyone using Vista or Sys7, there is a new AltME to test that 
installs better:

  www.altme.com/download/altme26c.exe


We want to release it in about 12 hours, so if you have any problems, 
please let me know.

Just tried it on Vista:

-- needed Admin level to install in current folder installation folder

-- PCTool's Threatfire reported it as "high risk" -- because it was 
copying files to multiple locations

-- did a resync, downloaded a lot of older messages, and turned many 
groups red....Not in itself a bad thing as that could properly sync 
some groups with missing messages; but a little surprising as most 
of the red groups had no new messages.

What was the current folder you were trying to install to?

The current folder it is installed in:
  program files/altme

And did it pop up a UAC prompt? It it was installing to any of the 
program files directories, it should have asked for admin by a UAC 
prompt.

And if it did, it should have put its data files somewhere under 
the user data directories, not in program files.

I'm not saying that is what it did for me, I'm saying that is what 
an app should do, especially on Vista/7/2008.
