OK... I am missing telegrams

I get the "Operator: You have a telegram." message. However, the
telegram does not appear on my list. I thought it might be a 3.5 bug so
I went back to 3.4, still happens. I tried deleting all my grams, still
happens.

And no, it's not a console trick, it's happened in AWGate as well as
other worlds.

I just tried deleting my telegram files... I'll reply if I get the
problem again. Thanks :¬)

Someone should program a debugger where you can disable the run button

Same here.

Though the thing about the toolbar... it opens up exciting possiblities.
Custom toolbar skins can be used that are almost exactly like the old
one... also, custom buttons can be added that send out SDK events - but
it's really complicated.

Also a lot of stations only play music and recorded DJs... AWRadio and
AWVR have live DJs so you can be informed of events as they happen.

First of all, don't let this reflect badly on the actual stations
themselves. (I'm not directing this at you Bit, just sharing my view
with everyone. Like I always do.) The stations are good for the community.

However, I do agree I DON'T wanna hear about them by telegram. As for
GZ... I think once every 15 minutes. BUT if the radio stations do cut
down on the spam I DON'T want to see anyone complaining at each posting
because of how frequent it was before. That would really piss me off.
Wait until they've said it about 3 times before deciding if it's too
frequent or not. I noticed IHNK got really mad at the ad being posted
ONCE... even though it wasn't even repeated for ages... for
adveritising, zero is too little, and once is enough.

"Note that this tab will NOT be supported in the main universe, but may
be used in other universes." Read it properly.

It won't be like that, since, uh, they only want to get to one location...

The windows are children of the AW window, so they don't pop up over
other windows.

It means if you open them, and move them over to the side of the screen,
close them, then open them again they'll open where you last closed them.

Mess... age... set. Something mainly for universe owners.

I don't think the object properties box is even double the size of what

This is also for universe owners. For example, a universe owner could
distribue AW with a "How to build" page on the hard drive. This page
could then be loaded from within the browser. A very good idea by AWI.

It has changed. They put in coloured columns like seen in world features.

AOL'ish? LOL! /me dates back to IRC, which predates the WWW even (if I'm

using it.

You mean 3.5? It's like a few mm of margin space. I think it makes it
look better.

> p. Again eh?

I agree this should be optional as well. But look at this from AWI's
point of view. When it was possible for the AW browser to take up 99% of
the CPU time they must have felt they had to do something.

DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs.
DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs.
DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. DEBUG logs. NOT WORLD LOGS.

Debug logs log everything the browser does so you can see where the
problem is. Usually you only need the stuff right before the crash. If
not, hey! You can turn the option off! Wow!
