Am I the only one that sees the pun whenever somebody says "Move 
it over to BS"?

Please move it over to BS, thanks...

OK, thanks. No need for further discussion.

(please move questions about BS over to BS)

Maarten, I'm the one that created it with that name for a reason 
that I knew it would end up containing BS.

Please move discussions of BS over to BS

Hi, is there a way to change fonts size (and even fonts) in AltME 
?

click on the aA button on the icon bar which is above where you type.

====================================^^ here if you're using a small 
font

Graham: thanks, I'm able to see without my glasses now :)

I still haven't figured out how some of you can make newlines in 
chat here (except copy/pasting it in)?

Click the pencil icon in the toolbar above the text entry field.

you mean like
this .. woow
.. help how do I submit now 


.. :)

thanks - you will be able to enjoy my comments from now on ...

... in multiline :) (jokin - serriously!)

Play with all the buttons, as you move your mouse over them, it will 
reveal in the upper left what they do.

Altme just  had this alert   showing "Server reported error in unknown-request 
because of: tatus"
that is a copy&paste so typos are not mine

Hmmm, pleae post to feedback...

For nerds that care.   http://www.rebol.org/aga-index.rLast I 
looked,  99917 posts archived.  Get busy on [web-public] and you

I have a problem with altme on linux... :(

Right mouse button no effect, CTRL+C no effect.... Is there a way 
to copy selected text from message window?
I'm on Ubuntu 8.10

Vladimir: CTRL+C works for me ( Kubuntu 8.10 ), but I only can paste 
( CTRL+V ) at any area of Altme ( New message area, Your current 
status area, Search area, ... ). If I want to copy one url to paste 
at other program, I export messages ( top-right button ) and save 
to a file ( I think html file is better ). Then I can open the file 
and copy the url

Ubuntu 8.04, from AltME to other apps, it doesn't work with highlight->middle 
click (what I and probably others are used to in linux), but it does 
work with highlight->control-c->middle click

Isn't it dependent on type of terminal you are using?

sorry..it's Altme gorup..:) i have to sleep a little bit.

I use Altme in Wine under Ubuntu without problems.

I also use AltME in wine, maybe it's because of this copying business.

Will try win altme with wine..

Hello every body! I'm new to AltMe and I don't understand how to 
start a topic, is possible

?

Hi, MaxV and welcome. Topics don't really exist, but we have groups 
as you see in the left side of the window. Just browse through each 
group and select the group most appropriate for your question. If 
you have a language question, you can select "Core" or "Rebol School" 
and ask your question there.

If you can't find a good group, as if somebody else knows of one. 
If there isn't a good group, create one by clicking on the Users 
and Groups icon (the one with two "people" in it).


Also be sure to hover over the various buttons and look at the hints 
for them. The pencil icon is the one most people want to use. :-)

Vladimir, I randomly have trouble with copying text from AltME as 
well.  I'm running on Vista and occasionally right clicking will 
fail.  The notification that text has been copied pops up but the 
clipboard isn't updated with the new text.  Usually selecting text 
and hitting CTRL+C will copy the text but also fails from time to 
time.

Seems to happen to me too if there is something already in the clipboard

Oddly, copying content to the clipboard from other applications will 
sometimes fix the problem.  Sometimes restarting AltME fixes it, 
but not always.

I now use windows version with Wine and it works perfectly :)

What's the keys combination to carriage return in the message text 
area?

MaxV, click the pencil icon above the text field. That allows you 
to send multiline...

...messages. :-)

GREAT!!!

Did anyone else experience an AltME outage this afternoon around 
3 pm CST or so.  I could not get in no matter what I did.  If this 
should re-occur, is there a BBS or something to verify if AltME is 
down or not?

There is always the mailing list ...

otherwise, if you're a qtask member ... you can go to the rebol sig 
there.

Also, the altme.com website has a place to check whether a world 
is accessible or not.

I got cut off mid-sentence - probably for the best, as I reconsidered 
posting that sentence :)

Today I got chance to test our theories, that if you want to register 
another world on the same PC, you have to have prior worlds running. 
So our current world is running, and I started altme, and tried to 
register another one, but it apparently gets assigned the same 5400 
port once again :-( What should I do to properly register new world 
to the different port?

Pekr, that is the same process I went through if I recall.  Maybe 
make sure the first world is open in AltME, not just running, then 
try registering the second world?

I was running multiple servers on a Win98 machine, so don't know 
if anyone else has had a different experience on the more recent 
Win OS's.

thanks ... will try my next round once my requested world name expires 
in 10 days :-)

I haven't found the magic steps to make this work reliably either. 
I was able to make it work sometimes by manually starting the worlds, 
and I though had it working from shortcuts, but then things would 
stop working. At some point I gave up, and now just host one world 
per machine.

Oh, just thought of something, make sure the necessary port range 
is open on your system/router.  Maybe it's the router that is preventing 
the proper port from being used?

Nothing to do with router imo. There is DST nat on our main router. 
There are two rules, - one for 5400 port, another one (copy) for 
5401 port. As I don't know Altme internals, can't say which side 
decides, what port to register at altme.com.
