amacleod, I think you saved the file after loading it with a webbrowser 
or something.
Do this instead:

 load-thru/update url: http://membres.multimania.fr/didec/rebol/altme-chat-reader.r
	path-thru url
and open that file in your editor.

got it. Thanks Anton.

Looks good DideC....the search function would be nice...

For sure.

Very nice Didier.

Got a strange update...

So did I -- 1.2.23. So recent, it's not on the recent updates list:
   http://www.altme.com/new.html

I ignored it

I ignored it, but it was used the next time I started AltMe.

ditto

ditto

it must be a special double post update

can we have a privacy group created please

What's a privacy group>

discussing about privacy matters?

You wan tto talk publicly abour privacy?

Can I share my credit-card number here? :-)

Ok, Reichart, you are right. Please forget above request 8-)

Wow, I really munged that typing... LOL


Will, can you give me one more hint what you mean by Privacy, I'm 
more than happy to create teh group, just want to make sure we all 
understand exactly what it is.  Privacy has many meanings (to me 
at least).

For example, Qtask has the ability to lock messages with 448 bit 
"local" encrypt.  Meaning, we never even get anything that can be 
opened.  The password to the message is encrypted locally as well. 
 And, if you have many passwords, they are put in a master box of 
keys that are also encrypted locally.

Is this the type of thing you are talking about?

Once upon a time, browsers sending referrers was considered a breach 
of privacy.

Today there is this great plugin for firefox that try to anonymize 
your searches on google

http://www.googlesharing.net/. I thing it's useful, I wanted to 
share.
Are altMe private chats secure from say, Reichart?
 ;-)
Should we give out our privacy?

People's different meaning about privacy, would also be interesting.

These are some examples that I see would have fit in a privacy group.

I created "~Privacy & Security" The "~" means it is not specifically 
REBOL.


To answer your question, YES, your PMs are private from me.  I do 
not posses in any form direct access to the servers.  I would have 
to ask Carl.

Same is true on Qtask, I would have to ask our DB lead.  We log all 
requests.  However ,if you use the Lock in Qtask, then no one, even 
the NSA can get in (based on the evidence).

one thing I have noticed with altME is that I cannot use the up and 
down  keyboard arrow controls to browse the posts.   This would be 
really handy.  A simple left click on the frame to get the frame 
active  or maybe a hotkey to switch to the next frame.  Actually 
I should read up on using altMe via keyboard before I go on, maybe 
what I am after is already implemented.

That's correct. You can't do that in AltME.

:-( as I am using altME on a netbook at the moment

you can use the scroll-wheel.

yes so i see, i've just plugged in the bluetooth mouse.   It's still 
not as satisfying as having a highlight bar and using up/down keys 
with smooth scrolling and ideally acceleration.


When using the slider and even the scroll wheel it's very easy to 
loose position.  i've found tthe mouse wheel isn't very responsive 
for me and neither scrolls fast or smoothly.  it's just not  very 
responsive IMHO.  Netbook overloaded perhaps although opera is still 
scrolling very nicely.

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
