Pavel: I see it, but it's empty.

ok, that is a AltMe bug on OSX, when clicking the green button in 
the window title bar to max the window, prefs/window/maxed get set 
to true, clicking again won't update that variable.

Pavel -- there's been some difficulties with some groups. Reichart 
is looking in to it.

See [PrivateGroupsDiscussion] for a lot of commentary on the issues.

I forgot to post this. Yesterday, I got the following error message 
when disconnecting from this world:

  Server reported error in unknown-request because of: Ýtatus

Yes, that first char in the last word is what it displayed.

Can someone please create an opportunity group again so I can post 
an opportunity.

AltME updated to 1.2.18 .... you can now eg. set filesize transfer 
limit. Changelog states, AltME is going to be updated regularly now 
again. Maybe time to submit the most usefull proposal - add button 
to "mark everything read" (de-red button :-)
Graham

What are the improvements??
Just filesize limit??

wow ... over 1.5 years since last update

1.2.18 works fine from where I am. Let's hope it is a good sign for 
the future.

Petr, we were asked for our top priorities some years ago....Let's 
hope too, that those requests are still on the work list:

Rebol3 now has its own dedicated server on linode .. but still seems 
slow :(
that busy signal appears briefly and then blocks

its been more responsive for me in genera.... but  the world has 
disconnected a few times since its on the linode server.

Seems a lot more response here (California) too.  16 hops.
Whoa... this traceroute backbone hostname freaked me out for a sec:

 5  ge-6-22.car1.SanFrancisco1.Level3.net (4.53.128.97)  47.905 ms 
   46.594 ms   47.027 ms
(In console font 1 and l look the same.)

AltME updated.... When you send a message, you will see the edit 
window retain the message until the server has echoed it.
Pekr

now we need the most requested feature - one small button for "Mark 
everything read" :-)
Graham
19-Jan-2010
[4290x2]
A welcome update for sure.
let's type something here and now click on a group .... and this 
area goes black .. very unusual feature
Pekr
19-Jan-2010
[4292]
mark everything read

 could be done a bit differently maybe, via a setting. E.g. "Mark 
 as read messages older than (days)" ... defaulting to let's say 3 
 days ... so that you would be able to see some recent discussions 
 still marked red .... just an idea ...
Sunanda

Graham -- This is what it looks like to me:

-- if you press send and a stay in the group you are in: the entry 
area goes grey until receipt of the message is confirmed; then it 
returns to your default colours

-- if you press send and navigate elsewhere quickly: it stays black 
until you send again (and stay in the same group)
A minor glitch in a new feature.

Hmm.. rebooting has fixed the issue I was seeing.
Nope .. try this .  Send a message.  After it has been sent, click 
on the "M" and this area turns black
Gregg

[4296]
Same here.

I get error windows when AltME is idle now.
Pekr

I can see the black area even if you change groups, and also when 
I clicked http link ...
Henrik

The area seems to turn black if the area loses focus.

Got a message Altme need a new version, downloading, dowload failed. 
with Altme intel osx, running the old PPC version works ok
Sunanda

[4302]
Yep -- also seeing black area at times.
Terry

Should be working.. it's alpha though
hmm.. that last message duplicated itself as i switched groups.. 
not digging the new "gray box" posting method
Carl
19-Jan-2010
[4305x2]
Pekr: I could use that feature too. Where would the button be put, 
in the divider options panel perhaps?
Henrik: 1.2.20 fixes that bug.
Will: what download failed? On auto update or exe?

Terry: can you explain "duplicated itself"? Do you mean it was sent 
twice?
Others: yes, odd. Input area seems to go black on loss of focus.
Henrik

Upgraded to 1.2.20. So far, nothing exploded.
I see a duplicate message in the REBOL3 group by shadwolf.
Mark everything read: I suggest more room in the area where the icons 
are in the upper left corner for a row of buttons, where the "mark" 
button could be situated. That leaves room for more options.
Pekr

Carl - the small button can be put in front of "B" (bold) button 
....
Carl

I wonder if the dup msg was perhaps caused by hitting return twice 
(during a long delay)?
I just tried it, but seems to be ok.
