[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

no on -> not on
The problem appears to be that the amount scrolled by one click seems 
to be determined by the size of the topic display.
Accurate scrolling requires dragging the scroll bar status block 
in minute steps which gets beyond my patience.


It probably works well if you have a scroll-wheel mouse - but I don't.

Is in Checklists - where else !!!
Is -> It's
I have reported the Linux link clicking and cut & paste via feedback.


I'm not sure about the scrolling --- so forgive me if I enter it 
again.

I don't see 10, but OK.  So there are two lists, New features, and 
Bugs basically.
I don't ever mind repeats.

One is old and empty -- the second I've just created :-)

Let me tidy them up.
There are now two AtlME checklists:

AltME Top Ten Peeves
AltME Top Ten Wishes
I'm sure that I've missed some of the peeves/wishes mentioned earlier 
but I didn't go back through all the posts.

what about parsing out email addresses to smoething (at) somewhere 
(dot) com ?
for web publishing

Isn't that more of a problem with Carl's script that publishes AltME 
on the web?
Perhaps a feedback to him at RT would the trick.

it probably is. I don't know how it works...
but it's also possible to publish through AltME manually.

Fair point - why don't you add it to the Peeves or Wishlist

speaking of that, formatting in HTML is quite bad. Timestamp takes 
up 20% of the page width, twice as much as needed.

my email address was obfuscated a little

It is more slow.

Of course, I didn't let the new versions install themselves.

I'm with Reichart here -- change nothing until the vote is unanimous 
:-)

is anyone else having trouble (re) starting a world on linux?  I 
have ports 5500 & 5400 open but it starting fails
iptables says 


ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere           state 
NEW tcp dpt:5500

ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere           state 
NEW tcp dpt:5400

Seems some people can't count.  The top 10 wishes are populated with 
over 10 !

There.  Fixed.
Graham

Remember .. Reichart says he will fix the top 10 agreed peeves .. 
if everyone can concur.
Regarding crash on recycle .. I don't think that bug exists in recent 
builds.  Has anyone seen it in a recent build??

Last I recall, you can still get it if you have the messages turned 
up above 5k or so.
I keep mine down below 1k most of the time so I don't have a problem

I can see two reasons why a top 10 could have more than10 entries 
in it.....


.....First, it is about ranking -- if 100 people graduate from a 
class, and 30 of them all have identical top scores, then the top 
1 position is held by 30 people.
Depending then on how you define "top 10": the top 10 is either:
* the top 30 graduates; or

* some larger number (the total graduates with the highest distinct 
ten scores -- which could be all of them).


Second,. it could be an unconscious homage to the 10 reasons why 
Base Camp Sucks (It seems the Base Camp developers also chose to 
disregard user priorities, but they at least deny requests as they 
are made rather than play mind games with the user community):

I was actually kidding about the top 10

All jokes aside, Jason and I have exactly opposite philosophies...

  that is pretty rude....unfair, and untrue...shame....

Reichart: <<The great thing about a democracy is that it disfavours 
minorities.  So you can't get anything done until ALL of you agree.>>

Similarly, I'll agree with your analysis  when we all agree with 
it.
Sound fair?

over 10 !
 


Is it a peeve or a wish that the number of entries isn't shown iin 
an AltME checklist?
By virtue of being foolish enough to start the checklists, I've taken 
responsibility for tidying them up in the hope that we can present 
Reichart with a useful list he will honour-bound to seriously consider.
I'm happy for somebody else to do it.
I've downgraded the priority of Display of html links is a mess because 
no example of what a better display would look like is given.
