Is it me, or can users no longer change their own passwords?

I would think that's a bug ....

Hmm.. .I think it does actually change the password ...just gives 
that eroneous message

Ah, I didn't try the new password.  It was for my laptop which has 
been acting up lately.  I couldn't login to AltME so went to the 
desktop to change it.  When I got the error message I didn't even 
try to login again with the laptop.

I couldn't login at first .. so I'm guessing that means my password 
was changed

it would be nice to add in http://www.rebol.net/altweb/rebol3/!REBOL3GUI 
and !REBOL3 Network Scheme !!!!!!!!!

Uae the rebol.org feed .. the rebol.net one is broken

As Graham says, the REBOL.org archive does cover the network shemes 
group:
  http://www.rebol.org/aga-display-posts.r?post=r3wp763x1814

But not the REBOL3 GUI group -- Brian did not set that to [web-public] 
-- if he his happy for it to be [web-public] we can easily add it 
to the archive.
Please report rebol.net problems via RAMBO for best results.

Can a Master please create a group for DevCon2010

Can't you??

Nope, I get "Sorry, not allowed... You do not have permission to 
create or change groups. Contact the WorldMaster if necessary."

group create/remove permissions were resinded after the "epic" (and 
involuntary ;-)  removal of multiple groups only a few users now 
have those rights.

That's curious .... I was able to create the group ....

seems like you're in the select group.  :-)

Perhaps being the most prolific poster of all time has its priviliges

What is Devcon2010 ?  :)

hehe... if you didn't know how to manage groups by this time then... 
there would be a serious mental issue  ;-)

humff.. I want power to edit groups as well, please Master allow 
me, I promess I'll be nice!

Tried to go back to version 1.2.17 of altme, keeps updating to the 
current version. And under windows 7, when I delete the program from 
the program directory and copy the older version altme, it doesn't 
even ask me if I want to update now or next time, it just starts 
with the latest version! It's frustrating. I want the old version 
back - without the grey frozen box.

Me too.

we got a new version just now - same grey box though. I wonder what 
problem people had that is solved by this wait period - it solves 
nothing for my guys anyway.

It's a lighter grey box in 1.2.22, and it goes away earlier in the 
process. The freezes were from before the grey was added.

really! Yes we noticed the grey was lighter. Gave us a laugh :)

More importantly, it goes away when AltME has confirmed that the 
message has gone through, not when it was done coming back (as in 
1.2.21) or just throwing it away (as in 1.2.17).

ic

A lighter shade of grey?  Is this a Procol Harum revival?

lighter?

ah yes.. is much less aggressive  :-)

we noticed that 1.2.17 was loosing some posts - but we like to hit 
enter to separate messages and keep on writing the next one without 
waiting for the post to show. We miss that badly

graham, wasn't that a lighter shade of pale?

Ah, I compose posts and use ^s. Different interaction model. I lost 
messages with the old version a lot. Even in 1.2.21 some messages 
didn't go through, but at least they aren't lost any more - I can 
resend.

I must say that since the server is on the linode box... its been 
just about rock solid.

(the server)

I still have problems, mostly due to frequently-frozen-client and 
internet dropouts. At least messages aren't lost now.

denis, yes!  :)

I would prefer that the message be saved somewhere ... and available 
in a button to restore than this effect,  That's how I did it in 
the Synapse chat client.

Infact I think I kept a  history so that if you posted to the wrong 
group, you could recall your message and repost.

once again altme reports a trojan on Vista: Category: Trojan


Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from 
an attacker.

Recommendation: Remove this software immediately.


Microsoft Security Essentials detected programs that may compromise

Get more information about this item online.

and what group is set 380?

Luckily it's a group I unsubbed a while ago

380 is Chat (not web public)

As with all AltME *.set files, it is just a fiile of REBOL blocks, 
each block containing text entries that define one post


It is possible that it has lots of REBOL code thta people have posted. 
Pehaps source code in other languages too; and maybe some REBOL molded 
binary #{....}


Hard to see how that could damage your computer....Unless it has 
become infected in some other way. Have you tried deleting the world 
and restarting it? That would get you the canonical 380.set (assumimg 
you are a member of that group)

These are just false alarms ....

Maybe someone was discussing JS malware there.

Yes, IIRC 380 was the same one as last time, some Javascript code 
where someone was asking about an exploit

I've run a virus scan against that file, and the software I am using 
does not detect any threats.

i was in the process of installing a new version.  I knew it was 
a false alarm though.

this was the Ms virus program btw

though symantec did it once to me as well

Just wondering the one of the moderators would like to go thru and 
revise the default markers and groups

I just experienced my first 'freeze' of AltME in how many... seven 
or so years?

While I was typing a message, after just turning on my PC and not 
working on anything else.  I had been in AltME for no longer than 
5 minutes and only read a single group.
