Also, many of those groups contain valuable information. It's almost 
always a bad thing to delete a group, losing the history.

It's almost always a bad thing to delete a group?  Are you serious? 
 What is so bad about it?

Ok, keep your REBOL Trash then.

Because I'm sure noobs come here and see a bunch of junk.

I don't know how much we woudl gain Paul, and I do consider when 
and what to clean up from time to time. Your point is noted.

I am working on Linux.is there a way to increase the font size

?

Click the icon with the little A and big A, directly above the text 
entry area.

Thanks NickA.

It helps (at least for the main discussion area).


Anyway to change the font size for the panel on the left as well 
 (where it shows the Groups)?

I am pretty sure that's not an implemented feature.

Can admin please reset xavier's password ...

... Done, Graham.

Slower than usual for everyone or is it just me?

fine here

.

It's working okay for me too ... well, the usual delay  is present

The usual delay increased to multiple seconds for me. Well, ...

fingers crossed that it'll get better soon :)

Stop torrenting for a while .. see if that helps

its up and down... was annoying earlier... seems better right now.

about  0.75s now.

and sometimes, instantaneous.

.

2.6s for me

A signal to leave AltME alone for now, and do something more productive 
:)

I downloaded http://www.intellipool.se/their networking monitoring 
tool to try out ...

We need a more specific tool to monitor rebol services and servers

I've received an update. Something with checklists not updating properly 
has been fixed.

I clicked on the button to show me the details and then it didn't 
offer to update again

It took me to this page
http://www.altme.com/new.html

Are you stuck on an older version than 1.2.25 ?

1.2.24 ...

I have 1.2.25 here.

I had the same thing Graham.....But when I restarted AltME, it was 
1.2.25.

it was in an upgrade loop .. kept asking me to upgrade to .25 after 
I upped

For anyone using Vista or Sys7, there is a new AltME to test that 
installs better:

  www.altme.com/download/altme26c.exe


We want to release it in about 12 hours, so if you have any problems, 
please let me know.

Just tried it on Vista:

-- needed Admin level to install in current folder installation folder

-- PCTool's Threatfire reported it as "high risk" -- because it was 
copying files to multiple locations

-- did a resync, downloaded a lot of older messages, and turned many 
groups red....Not in itself a bad thing as that could properly sync 
some groups with missing messages; but a little surprising as most 
of the red groups had no new messages.

What was the current folder you were trying to install to?

The current folder it is installed in:
  program files/altme

And did it pop up a UAC prompt? It it was installing to any of the 
program files directories, it should have asked for admin by a UAC 
prompt.

And if it did, it should have put its data files somewhere under 
the user data directories, not in program files.

I'm not saying that is what it did for me, I'm saying that is what 
an app should do, especially on Vista/7/2008.

No, it popped up an AktME box saying iy could not install for one 
of two reasons:
-- altme already running (it was not)
-- needs admin-level permission
I restarted it with admin-level permission


It looks like the data files have been installed in a different location 
to where they were before. This may be a good thing in the longer-term. 
But a little confusing just now.

Sorry -- got to go now.....Back in 12 hours.

AltME is a tiny program that doesn't handle any file extensions. 
It should be installing under C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local (for the 
Brian user, i.e.). You can get that value from the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell 
Folders" key, in the "Local AppData" value.

That will work on any version of Windows starting with 2000, and 
possibly earlier.

Personally, I run AltME as a portable app, but if I ran it as a local 
app that is where I would put it. Chrome installs in the same location 
too.

To clarify: AltME attempts to install in %appdata% (which is the 
path indicated above by BrianH.) It then uses "local" not "roaming".

However, for a "reinstall" vs a "fresh install" it will try to use 
your older installed location. That's why the above happened.

I suppose that this feature should be "removed" -- what do you think?

what feature?  the reinstall?
