beta newsgroup fix... (Wishlist)
beta newsgroup fix... // Wishlistlady nighthawkMay 18, 2004, 4:52am
I wish they'd fix the beta ng so I don't have to keep emailing/gramming to
be re-added to something I was already on. I have emailed beta at activeworlds.com with no reply and I'm still not on. I've gone so far as to gram ENZO who says I should use the email LOL. Good grief!? LNH -- elykMay 18, 2004, 7:31am
They said earlier that they would only be letting a limited amount of
people into this specific beta for testing. I asked chris to see if my friend could join in, who was on the original beta as well, and he said they weren't taking anymore until the next beta comes around. I'm not sure when that is just yet.

No, LNH,
because it is AWI's prerrogative to conduct beta testings the way they se fit, whatever we might think of it. It is THEIR software, you buy it or not, that is YOUR prerrogative :) Alex On 18 May 2004 08:49:34 -0400, "lady nighthawk" [View Quote] >Why, because of added video stuff?

No, mainly because they wanted people who will concentrate on helping
fix the bugs rather than break out into flame wars or run the beta ng in a goofy direction for political means (I think you know what I'm speaking of there) anywho, that's all the reason for that...they wanted more who would contribute to help solve the problems. (not saying you don't help...I'm just saying that's what I was told) ;P [View Quote] > Why, because of added video stuff?

when I spoke to bill he said "everyone in aw can read it" I replied, nope no
one can read it unless their in beta, and within the beta ng when 3.6 testing started there was a post keep checking back beta people and in a week we'll make a new post saying how to get into beta again. only beta could see that so it was a chance for us to beta again, but then the next day after that post boom we all lost posting 0_0 [View Quote] lady nighthawkMay 18, 2004, 6:59pm
I never saw said post and I checked that NG several times a day. This lost
of NG posting occurs ever time they go out of beta. I've seen several folks complain that they had to re-ask several times to be re-included ... and these folks are much more established in aw than I am. I won't mention any names ... I can say this is the first time it's happened to me tho. They've been pretty good about re-adding me up until this last release. Oh well, no matter, it's not a matter of life and death for me ... I have other things to do. LNH -- [View Quote] xelagMay 18, 2004, 7:51pm
Hi LNH,
I think that this time, due to the very technical problems presented by the introduction of media streaming, they needed people who were technical too. This first phase is going fast, and a lot of bugs were discovered and solved. We've had 3 browser upgrades in 3 weeks, each solving enormous puzzels. There are still a few things to investigate and solve, but compared to other betas, this is going at jet speed. This process could not have been done so fast in a large group, however valuable the contribution. I guess (my guess) that when the real basic code problems are solved, more people will be allowed into beta, or it may become public. From what I heard unofficially, 3.6 should be available as soon as the media code is viable and tried out.
