Are you over age 55 ?

Not yet. Would that solve your problem?

Paper is patient, we say here in the Netherlands. Dunno if it's also 
an English proverb

Well, at 25 I could still remember library of congress call numbers 
for books I had read ...  now anything I don't use on a weekly basis 
is GONE unless it is from the period 1957 to 1965

That's exactly why you should record things

Nope.  Just moved in boxes to another country.  And in the Netherlands 
those boxes could easily get soggy wet, No?

Including my Dutch dictionary and Eng-Dutch dictionary

Unfortunately true. :-) I stay indoors because I feel like the paper 
boxes

Here it has rained for days, the river is known to flood -  and I 
live down by the river ( but not on the yearly flood plain )

But who could forget a 3-character password?

Duh

It's probably too simple :-)

Anyway, it should be easy to pay some Russian kid to get it back 
for you

Can you reset it and email me ?

No, I'm not a world master (he said grinding his teeth)

The Russian hacker I know is actually dying in St Petersburg -  of 
Marfan's Syndrome due to poor medical care - his brother has started 
med school to try to save him ...

I'm sorry to hear that

WeltMeister?

In my childhood we still had the word "tinker" for one who mends 
holes in pots ...

In German, but that carries the notion of world champion. More benevolent 
than a master

AH so. Sensei-san.

Soo ... des-ne?

'tre'  would be a good  three-char password

Haven't had a Japanese girlfriend yet, so I'm less fluent in Japanese...

Ah - learn while sleeping method ...

:-)

and I am back via LINUX  libc6... so I can count higher than 3  ;-)

Robert, if you rigth click on your name here, it will allow you to 
change your password.

That 150,000th [web-public] post took a little longer than I anticipated 
last week (it seems we all stopped posting web-public once the possibility 
was mentioned).


But it has happened now -- congratulations to BrianH and his comment 
on R3's break/return:

No word yet on whether he'll be flying to Romania to treat himself 
to the prize Kaj wanted :)

darn.... I was soooooo close  ;-)

[So was I:) I could have cheated and posted 150,000th myself.....But 
that would have been cheating)
Nevermind, Maxim, 250,000th is the big one.

hehe

:-)

Wow, I wasn't even trying! :)

I noticed something interesting: When you are reading a red group, 
the column in the left hand side is colored yellow for unread posts. 
When switching group, there is for me a waiting period of about 2-3 
seconds, for large groups before the new group appears.


However before the group switches, the coloration disappears, suggesting 
that a redraw of the list takes place before the switch. If this 
redraw was removed, switching columns might take much less time, 
perhaps half as long.

Bug:

The old inconsistent bug of failing to copy the text of a message 
by simple right-click prevented me from copying Oldes' message with 
the long referrer link and cookie data in it, so I selected the message 
text first before right-click. That worked, but then all messages 
in the display began disappearing (looks like a shared para scroll 
bug). Even switching groups. Right now I'm looking at !AltME with 
several blank messages - only the dates appear normally.

That was Oldes' message in Tech News.

I can copy using right-click without problems. Even when I select 
the text. What Altme version do you have?

1.2.25 wine on linux.

I often see the right-click-fail-to-copy problem. Though not the 
disappearing messages one. That's with 1.2.26 Windows.

It's been a while since I updated the exe manually. I thought the 
auto-update was taking care of that.

I see the copy issue too.

Seems to work fine in 1.2.25 on linux natively..

If by fine you mean that you first have to go to the target paste 
area (for example a browser address bar), clear it, then to AltME 
and copy the text, and then back to the paste area and use the middle 
mouse button to paste. Any deviation from this procedure will break 
it in weird ways

I opened a new document in my usual text editor to paste the entire 
message text into it, so there was no other field involved.

How to allow more than 8MB of file being uploaded on my AltME server?

split it to multiple parts?

PDF? :-)

you can split whatever.. but I know, it's not a solution, I don't 
know the correct answer.

I tried to create a zip archive, but it is about the same size, so 
no help. IIRC there was some AltME version, which allowed to use 
bigger sizes? I think it would be good to have it as a command-line 
option for the server startup. It is my private world, and I would 
allow 20MB easily. It is not first time I got file bigger than 10MB 
I needed to post ....
