Sunanda - so back-it-up promplty, maybe you will follow us with next 
restart of AltME - one never knows its magic suprises:-)

at least my PM chat is now really quick  ;-)

:-)

Good advice, Petr!
Max, Petr -- I've just sent you each a test PM. Did you get them?

hmm, strange - I received your PM, but your name in the list was 
not in red letters ....

same here...

Strange ... I saw red from both of you.

Did my name float to the top of the list, or was it buried a long 
way down?

It was at the top of the list.

I believe subsequent posts will be red ... try to send a ping to 
me ....

OK, it works ...

That way, we can miss if someone contacts us. So the urge is to check 
if some name is at the top of the list, and better check from time 
to time ....

Yep -- both Max and Petr confirm that 2nd message returns the red. 
So the sync problem seems to resolve itself.

But, as Petr says, we should all check the top few in our lists in 
case there are un-red messages unread.

pekr... sent you one...

ok, not marked as red ....

this is strange ... there's no new client, so how is that it did 
not happen in the past? Or just maybe some old bug, which just popped-up 
under new conditions we got into ...

what i have noticed is that groups that were "lost" did not become 
red with new messages. if you have lost private messages, maybe that 
is what is happening as well.

it seems I still have my private messages, not sure if they'll disappear 
next time someone writes to me :) I have a backup anyway.

My private messages are all gone too. Due to system changes, my altme 
backup is 6 months old.

Note to self. Do not leave anymore private notes to self !

lost?

no but I should not risk it untill I have my own backup,  I use it 
as a  sort of  distributed note pad

Tomc, wise.


I use Qtask since I know the notes will be there, or Qtask's Scratchpad.

Every time a computer crashes, or my celll phone resets, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO 
happy.

I'm actually getting a new bug.  I see teh "All groups" RED, but 
I have read everything.  Started a couple of days ago.s

so reset the red flag ?

attn worldmasters: xavier needs his password reset,  please send 
new password to [xavierdebecq-:-gmail-:-com]

Done.

thx

Does the send email work for esmtp in altme. I do not see the proper 
settings...am I missing something?

I don't believe it works.

I did a quick test here, which failed, but is hardly full proof.

I've lost all my PM in this AltMe world too...I'm glad I did a full 
backup of this world files when someone first mentioned the issue. 
Can't AltMe admins restore them from backups?

We hope so. Gabriele has full backups as well, but no word from RT 
on whether this is going to happen.

My personal chat file was reset too (size changed from 1MB to 1KB). 
Luckily I also backed it up 10 days ago, after reading the reports 
here.

this is starting to be ridiculous.

It is extremely unnerving that this appears to have started shortly 
after I upgraded which version of AltME I was using

its the server that's clearing groups. the clients just syncs them

I know, it just seems odd

I think we need to create a dedicated group for Custom Gob Renderers... 
there will be a lot of discussion and support or HW bug tracking 
about it too.

just make it general please. Cyphre used some other method for acceleration, 
and we should consider various possible available solutions, look 
also at how Flash is doing it, etc. methods ...

something like REBOL3! low-level gfx  could be ok,

note this isn't about discussing how to use view or a gui.


this really is for talking about rendering, graphic pipelines, agg 
C code, gfx engines, CGRs, stuff like that.

I thought we had a Graphics group at one point, but maybe not.

this is specific for R3 architecture and host-kit related stuff  
its not about using graphics in rebol, its about building the graphics 
engines.

Host-Kit Graphics then?

Seems like "!REBOL3 Graphics Extensions" to me.

Carl - yes, you simply logged on, and found your pms gone, rewritten 
with new file, or something like that.

Gab has a complete backup of the world, and thought it might be possible 
to merge old and new data, but only RT can say for sure.

Roughly Oct 12-14. Many groups and PMs got lost.

Yes, it wasn't just PMs.

Not sure it is worth it. Some ppl complained their PMs are really 
slow, because the file was too big already :-) What I am more curious 
about is - what was the reason?

I do not know about it.
