World: r3wp

Robert, I think, Reichart mean, what 'it' is? In the sentence "The 
thing is, it doesn't scale."

Well, it's the AltMe group hence the "it" = AltMe.

I uderstand it, that Reichard wanna know, what is able to "handle 
100.000 posts with instant realtime search and filterting."

The stock Apple Mail program for example, or the Opera mailer... 
even google is near real-time for searching now.

179,000+ posts and real time search:
   http://www.rebol.org/aga-index.r

Yes, should go into AltMe. And much, much faster display of large 
groups, without message limit. Virtual tables is the trick...

another perhaps tricky element would be to solve the message limit. 
it seems currently to directly conflict with the memory usage of 
altME, due to the pane size of the message list. so we'd need an 
endlessly scrollable message list with variable height rows.

conflict with
 => "affect"

Robert, Reichart's question as I interpreted it: is there any product 
out there that does this?

altme 1.2.25 is invisible in the application circling in gnome3 (alt+ 
tab) and font are very small ...

there is a font option in the message writing area, it makes the 
font a bit bigger

yeah even with it my eyes are on fire because it's too small ... 
and when my eyes hurts I'm not in a good mood for anything less reading 
tons of pages of those tiny fonts texts

main problem is that  the fonts in R2 scale isn't accurate ... we 
discussed it or at least try to when we  writed area-tc and all we 
had as reply is don´t worry r3 is so much better and that was 2 years 
ago ...

so to be direct in rebol fonts a size of 14 = a size of 8 in another 
font system

so for altme I have the choice betwin a size of 6 or a size of 8 
:)

this is not a young topic I think like 6 years ago I made that request 
too ... cause yet it's a pain for me to read this ...

I have thought up a new feature for AltME. It's called "terms of 
use" for a world. AFAIK we don't have any specific terms.

yeah and who will implement you dictator wish henrik to hide your 
lack of result and your lack of balls to talk to me ?

Terms of use:

Section 1: Personal attacks.

you made me banned from that fake rebol school  group you are so 
proud of but the truth is henrik tha recent  rebol project submited 
to rtebol.org are just toys far from a cheyene!

How do I change my username?

Send a message to Sunanda.

Thanks, very modern approach ;p

well, better than stone tablets. :-)

You could send me a message as well.

It really irks me that I can't use AltME on my phone. My internet 
landline has been iffy lately, but if I have problems with my phone 
connection I can just walk somewhere else.

You going to blame Carl ??

Nope, I don't do blame.

And I don't have the time to write one myself :(

Just speaks to standards ...

File sharing bug: Initial comment can only be 100 chars long. Subsequent 
edits can be longer than 100 chars.

Are the proxy settings in AltMe working? I tried to run AltMe from 
work by inserting the proxy settings but it fails to connect to the 
internet. The docs on the website would seem to suggest that there 
is no proxy but having them in the settings confused me.

Many proxies don't work

Eg. squid with Rebol

IMHO I think you should consider what message your user naming convention 
send to new users. For me it says that you treat some persons differently. 
That is bad if you like more people to come here. No one want's to 
be treated differently. Either you let everyone use whatever name 
they like or all use the same rules.

We have a username convention here :) ?

Hmm, I guess, that some of the administrators here enforce a convention, 
some may not, and that is why there is a "mix".

I thought you can just give a preferred user name on signup.

But it's a long time since I signed up, so .... :)

I don't mind funny nicks as long as the full name is also there. 
Makes it easier to find out who is who in other social networks.

The preferred convention is real names.


People have been grandfathered in (from the previous worlds) with 
nick names.


If you do not like the member name you have, it can be changed if 
you put a good case to the moderators.

I wouldn't mind changing my ID to my real name if that can help.

Don't change anything for me. It's your call to choose how you want 
things to appear for the not yet initialized Rebol visitors. You 
already filter away the visitors pretty well by using AltME as the 
main forum ...

That's not our decision. Users choose which method is best for communication 
and so far, AltME holds up pretty well. Users are free to use open 
forums like rebolforum.com or the Synapse forum.

Or join the #rebol IRC channel on freenode.

If forgot the reason, why some groups are prefixed by "!" ? Is that 
for products or does it mean commercial or what?

IIRC, it was for products.

Particularly products written in REBOL. The !REBOL* groups are named 
like that because REBOL is partly written in REBOL.

Thanks!

I started adding the ! and ~ to help denote products that were REBOL, 
and offtopic stuff "~", etc.  

Sort on Alpha, anf it becomes very clear.
