World: r3wp

I think the answer to shortcuts is that it should NOT be part of 
the application, but rather the OS.  That the App should offer a 
"suggestion" list to the App/

Thus, you can bring up a standard program on the OS, and simply say 
AltME/input field "Cut" = Control + X

If apps passed this up to OSes, then a person can bring thier shortcuts 
to any computer, or any computer connected to the web.

There could be also a way how to redefine shortcuts as it's for example 
in Total Commander.

I wonder when the password bug will be fixed in Altme:/

the default fix is to use the same password for each account.

This looks like a bug.  Select a world which is offline .. eg. r2-beta, 
and after it can't connect, click on "return to world".  It quits 
instead.

I need to get ALTME working behind a firewall - what ports do I need 
to allow traffic thru?

Is the FAQ accurate on the issue of firewalls?

Yeah I got it running. Thanks Sunanda.

Anyone got ATLME so that it is automated to start when Windows starts?

can't that be done by putting it in the Startup folder in the start 
menu?

Would the credentials have to entered for the world?

you can autologin into the last world that was used

True - that should work.

Also, if I get this going maybe I can host worlds for others for 
less money than ALTME.com charges.

Have to look at their licensing to see if that infringes.

I would suppose that it would be in the interest of ALTME for others 
to offer hosting services since the ultimately benefit.

Anyone know a way around the file size limitation in ALTME?  i tried 
to upload a large file and got a message that there was a limitation 
in this version of ALTME.

There is a prototype AltME version on r3-alpha world, which allows 
larger uploads ...

Can I get a link to it as I don't think I have access to R3-alpha 
world.

I believe the file size is configurable by the world owner isn't 
it?

I haven't seen any setting where I can change the size.

Something really weird happened to my AltMe instalations. 

Rebol3 and R3-Alpha opened as if it was the first time. It is downloading 
every messages again. Does anybody know what could cause this?

what OS?

Is your hard drive okay?

Hard drive is fine.
OS is XP.
R2-beta world did not do the reload all.

Starting from shortcuts? Or has anything changed that could point 
them to a new working dir?

Starting from shortcuts. No new changes.

If you go to files and browse to upload, is the base dir the same 
as it always has been?

I think I've seen this, but can't remember the details.

The upside is that the way AltMe works, the only thing you lose is 
a little bandwidth for a while. :-)

Also, there was an outage that may have caused something odd if you 
were on. I don't know any internals, but some state could have been 
mucked up with the lookup server being down I suppose.

Nothing strange here though.

Yes, I did hear problems with other people connecting to ALtme.
The base of the files are in the same places.

No fresh ideas here then.

There was something good about this, I noticed that it also refreshed 
a few groups that were not refreshing before. Just a few of them.

There you go. A silver lining. :-)

The next time one of you think that you are not seeing updates in 
group, instead of posting a ".", please try something for me to see 
if this works.  Just change yoru max message setting, say from "100" 
to "500" or even "1,000".  I just noticed something that might explain 
this bug....

I've never seen this bug :)

Cool, but others do, which is why they post a "."  Perhaps we can 
lock in on how to reproduce it.

Or, we can ban them ...

Well, I'll do my best to help them first...

Today one of our worlds lost its name registration, even if yesterday 
I was there. Shouldn't it keep the world name reserved for 10 days? 
:-)

so we recreated the world, and the good thing is, that it mapped 
correctly onto existing user and group settings.

This used to happen to me on a very regular basis when I was running 
more than one world.  Seems to have stabilized for me now though. 
 IIf you are running multiple worlds, you will only be able to get 
it registered to the proper port if you re-register the world while 
the other ports are in use..   For example if your world was sitting 
on the third port that gets assigned, you would need to have your 
first and second worlds running when you re-register, otherwise it 
will re-register you to the first port and you'll be hand-cuffed.

no other world is running on the same physical hardware. But it already 
happened in the past. Simply put - 10 days timeout is not correct.

Would you prefer ads?

Or just pay for it.
