World: r3wp

If Carl is working on new improvements to Altme, why not ask him 
for this functionality?

I would let Carl working on R3 :-)

Good Idea, we will try to get this in the next build.

If you take it one step further you can make it possible to write 
messages while not connected, and send them automatically on the 
next connection.

(Maybe after asking for confirmation if it's more than month since 
they've been written .... you get the idea ;-)

seems that I lose connection to rebol.net as well as AltME when it 
goes down.

Perhaps you can run a tracert to rebol.net when it happens.

Hi!


I've just downloaded AltME 1.2.3 and installed it., and after rebooting, 
I noticed that the "installer" added AltME to the Startup folder, 
and I don't remember clicking on any option that says something like 
"Automatically run upon booting up." IMHO the user should be given 
a choice whether to add AltME to the startup folder or not.

PS


In case I did select the option (by accident, more likely , as I 
was sleepy at the time I installed it), I'd be thnakful if you could 
point it out; and of course, my apologies. :D

Tried synching to the RebGUI discussion twice, but got disconnected 
at more or less the same percentage. Is it possible to have AltME 
download the "chat files" on a per "number of messages"  basis, instead 
of downloading the entire chat file in one session? That way people 
having synching problems like myself could at least download the 
messages from the discussion group a little at a time until the entire 
"chat file" is downloaded, rather than be frustrated when we get 
disconnected at 99% and retry synching again. It will also lessen 
the annoyance of other people seeing several dots made by the same 
poster.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers!

Thor, there is an option for automatically run on boot, so you may 
have checked that.

Thanks Gabriele. Now I'm sure I was half awake when I installed the 
new version. :D

Could someone please tell me what's new with AltME 1.2.5?

the 5

lol

I just created a couple of worlds but when I try to start either 
one of them I get "Altme Error: Cannot open Altme Server. Is this 
server already running?"  The answer is no. The world seems to exists 
as it can be checked via the website and is reachable. Any ideas? 
I have another world (a different one) running on this comp.

Never mind. I stopped and restarted one of the worlds and now they 
all work.

My first recycle error with 1.1.28 beta ... on hitting a group I've 
already read.  400 setting.  Changed it back to 100.

1.1.28 ?? Mine is 1.2.5. I can't believe I have missed 23 updates 
!!

1.1.28 is higher than 1.2.5 ?

1.

1.1.28 is still running on view 1.2

1.2.5 should fix that bug

Hmm.

My says .. beta

the splash screen says 1.1 (12 ) beta

what does it say in the window title?

1.1.28

Have I got a really old beta ?

there is a little release-blog on altmes site.

I think that beta is 2-3 releases old, Graham

ok.

and there was a point where the upgrade had to be done manually, 
which is probably why you are still running it.

How handy!

but vwithout version-info. the linux-altme is 1.1.29 IIRC, thats 
16-mar. http://www.altme.com/

where to download latest beta?

http://altme.com/notes/beta.html

http://www.altme.com/download.htmlnow too

Wonderful

*** AltME ERROR ***

Sorry, AltME found an error while it was starting up.
This should never happen, but it looks like it just did.
Go to http://www.altme.com/feedback.htmland cut/paste
the text below. We'll fix the problem right away! Thanks.

ERROR:  Error starting module: a00
[
    code: 303
    type: 'script

Press enter key

but now it runs? since you posted?

dunno .. went back to 1.1.28

I give up easily!

:)

looks like they somehow mixed versions. "ctx-text: context bind ctx-text 
system/view" that feature is somewhat new. does it try to load new 
source with the old exe?

let me find it again.

downloaded it twice ..same error each time.

works here. but i started with that version. some updat-confusion?

dunno ... hidden some stuff on my drive somewhere?

Hmm. I would give up too, as long as it runs.

maybe it will be healed in the morning?   Off to bed ...!

Aah! Smart user,  exhausted computer. Could work :)

Reichart,
 

1. Are there plans to provide an RSS feed (or multiple feeds) trigger 
by AltMe world activity? 

I would like to be alerted to my RSS reader when updates are made. 

It is not so necessary for Rebol3 but I am proposing an Altme use 
where activity might start out less frequent. 


2. Is the AltME export capability that Rebol3 has for the public 
groups a general use feature of a SafeWorld?
