Just a friendly reminder to the folks who don't remember or new to the newsgroup:

Charter of the news.activeworlds.com/community

INTRO:

The need for a moderated group is best explained by taking a casual look at
the many off-topic postings in other, non-moderated group. Often times,
disputes arise of personal nature or insults are thrown about with no care
or regard for the rights or feelings of others. This flaming is not the
purpose or intent of this particular newsgroup. We would like to avoid such
problems from the start. News.activeworlds.com/community has been set up
as a media for dissemination of Information relative to the AW community and
the AW software in general. Events of interest to this community and the
sharing of knowledge and community discussion will be posted here. We invite
you all to take an active share in this newsgroup and hope it will be a
positive addition to your AW experience. Please join in and have fun.

CHARTER: news.activeworlds.com/awcommunity newsgroup is a moderated
newsgroup for the free exchange of information and opinions on AW culture,
language, history, economics, science, and other topics related to
ActiveWorlds. Posts appropriate for news.activeworlds.com/community
include, but are not restricted to, all aspects of ActiveWorlds,
informational posts about AW culture, history, etc. Language issues related
to AW. Discussion of education, health, environmental issues , politics,
elections, etc. Discussion of books , articles, webarticles, movies, etc.,
about AW or the 3D internet in general. Discussion of minority issues,
including language, within AW. Job opportunities within AW. Discussions
involving PeaceKeepers and GateKeepers. Suggestions and tips for newcomers.
Suggestions and tips for World Owners. Additions and alternative
implementations of the AW client or server. AWCOM. posts relevant to the AW
community and public meetings.

News.activeworlds.com/community newsgroup is for anyone who is interested
in AW and who can follow Usenet newsgroup netiquette, basic rules of polite
human interaction, and any further restrictions imposed by this charter.
There is no test or requirement as to how much of an AW citizen a person is
who wants to make a submission and participate. Any restrictions concerning
the contents of a post are intended to keep to the topic of AW, and are not
intended to restrict anyone's expression of opinions. Free speech exists
within the context of AW as a topic as defined in this charter. If the topic
is not about AW, forums other than news.activeworlds.com/community
newsgroup are probably more appropriate. Submissions unrelated to the AW
Community shall be rejected. Commercial advertisements unrelated to AW shall
be rejected; all personal ads shall be rejected. Submissions containing
ethnic slurs, or submissions intended to hurt any given race, religion,
gender, or sexual orientation, shall be rejected. Personal attacks on
individual posters will also be rejected. Attacks on AWCOM, its employees,
contractors or partners will be rejected.

When major changes to the charter are to be considered, an announcement will
be made on news.activeworlds.com/community newsgroup inviting interested
people to respond and thus participate via email. The role of the moderators
is to ensure the conditions of the charter are met by any submission to
news.activeworlds.com/community newsgroup. The moderators recognize that
they should be as unbiased and objective as is humanly possible.

Submissions are evaluated as to whether or not (1) they are on topic, (2)
they meet
netiquette, (3) they are appropriate for the group membership as a group
(rather than something that belongs in e-mail to an individual(s)), and
(4) meet any other submission standards as defined in the charter. The
deletions
of the rejected submissions to news.activeworlds.com/moderated newsgroup by
the moderators should be in a timely manner. Should a moderator reject a
submission, s/he will delete the complete with no notice to the group or the
submitter in a timely manner (usually within 48 hours). All of the other
moderators shall be included in any notification of the deletion. Should the
moderators as a group disagree with a moderator's decision about a
submission, a minimum a coin toss majority is required to override it.
Other details will be refined during the initial existence of
news.activeworlds.com/moderated newsgroup, recognizing that it is impossible
to anticipate all of the details of moderation in advance. Submitters to
news.activeworlds.com/community newsgroup should recognize the volunteer
nature of the moderators, possible equipment problems with the server, etc.,
and keep such issues in mind when considering whether or not a post or
deletion was made in a timely way. The moderators will also work among
themselves to define the details of moderation, for example, addressing such
issues as how many moderators are actively moderating at a time and how to
deal with threads that appear to have strayed from the subject of AW.

We appreciate your cooperation, be excellent to each other and enjoy your
stay here in Active Worlds.

Those links work when you click within AW's internal browser (the browser did not even send that request to the target site but intercepts the content :).
The new Object server doesn't have this cgi by accident but you still can use the same teleport CGI from the address:

I wrote a simple app which helps to translate the messages for AW.
The tool puts side by side the corresponding messages on two languages and let you save the target translation as an .awm file.

If I'm right - the browser limits the frame rate to 30 f/s no matter how high it could go :)

[View Quote] It is the SAME all year around as supposed to be. Your place uses daylight savings which is something not all the world uses.
VRT is related to the GMT (which does not changes by daylight savings), so it is steady GMT-3.

You pop your case open, unplug all cables going to the PS, remove the PS (four screws at the back of your case), pop the new one in and plug back all the cables.
It is a plain replacement!

RFC 1925 - The Twelve Networking Truths
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1925.html

***********************************************************
Quote
***********************************************************
(1) It Has To Work.

(2) No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can't increase the speed of light.

(2a) (corollary). No matter how hard you try, you can't make a baby in much less than 9 months. Trying to speed this up *might* make it slower, but it won't make it happen any
quicker.

(3) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.

(4) Some things in life can never be fully appreciated nor understood unless experienced firsthand. Some things in networking can never be fully understood by someone who neither builds commercial networking equipment nor runs an operational network.

(5) It is always possible to aglutenate multiple separate problems into a single complex interdependent solution. In most cases this is a bad idea.

(6) It is easier to move a problem around (for example, by moving the problem to a different part of the overall network architecture) than it is to solve it.

(6a) (corollary). It is always possible to add another level of indirection.

(7) It is always something

(7a) (corollary). Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick any two (you can't have all three).

(8) It is more complicated than you think.

(9) For all resources, whatever it is, you need more.

(9a) (corollary) Every networking problem always takes longer to solve than it seems like it should.

(10) One size never fits all.

(11) Every old idea will be proposed again with a different name and a different presentation, regardless of whether it works.

(11a) (corollary). See rule 6a.

(12) In protocol design, perfection has been reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

[...]

[View Quote] The missing/not working teleport links has nothing to do with the AW Browser updates - it is a pure coincidence. The whole problem lies somewhere else!!!
When AWI moved the OP server to another machine - they forgot to move the teleporting script there.
In other words:
If you have an objects.activeworlds.com/teleport.php?.... reference on a web page, the click only works if you are using the internal browser but if you replace the objects.activeworlds.com with www.activeworlds.com - it works (because the script exists on that server!).
One would ask why does it work in the integrated browser?
The answer is simple - AW never sends that link to the host - it is hard coded inside the AW browser code that it interprets the link locally :)

I hope it puts some light to that issue.

Excellent description!
A few correction added inline...

The license can be limited by a time frame, so you actually purchase it for a given amount of time to use it.
