1. Set up an automated crash report on browser as Second Life have in place.
Browser crashes, it automatically asks to locate crash file and sends it off. 2. Security Settings: A checkbox in settings, so a new contact has to be approved before being added to personal contact list. Would this not be a very useful feature that should be easy enough to implement. Same as for join/invite requests. Or: If a user is removed from contact list, then their corresponding link is also removed. As it is, if you have a blocked contact and remove their name from your list, all blocks are nulified. Or otherwise stuck with yellow ? Not an effective solution. Msn has a 'block' list, so does Secondlife. 3. Text Window - Scalable text for vision impairead. Siliconmana sw comitOct 27, 2005, 11:16pm

Is this really needed? AW seems pretty stable. I'd point fingers at
something else if your having problems. Video card perhaps. > 2.

You can already do this. Click somewhere in the text box, hold ctrl down and scroll up on the mouse wheel. Works in IE too. dr. squailboontOct 27, 2005, 11:44pm

Consider yourself lucky. I've seen AW crash just by doing nothing at all; there's no correlation between any of the times AW decided to crash.

The benefits of an automated crash report are debatable. As a
developer, I find it easier to recreate the bug on my own machine and then trace it down, rather than be handed a minidump file and told to find the bug in the code. Activeworlds already has a debug logging feature, which helps trace down crashes and bugs anyways. If you're crashing, and can recreate the crash, best to turn on the debug log in your ini file and send it to the developers, and tell them how you created the crash. -Joe [View Quote] chrispegOct 29, 2005, 5:39am
A reminder how to set up debug log for the browser:
1) Open aworld.ini in notepad. 2) Look for a section [Debug] 3) Add or modify to: [Debug] all=1 purge_time=30 4) Save aworld.ini and restart the browser. 5) Reproduce the issue. This will generate the log for each session in a file aworld.log. In case the browser crashes, compress this file to a zip file and send it off to support at activeworlds.com along with a descrpition of the problem and how and where to reproduce it. (Beta related logs should go to beta at activeworlds.com). Note: While the debug log is on, you might notice descreased system performance. Therefore, switch it off when not needed: [Debug] all=0 Thanks, Chris Development Department Activeworlds, Inc "joeman" <john at fakeplastic.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:43625a6c$2 at server1.Activeworlds.com... > The benefits of an automated crash report are debatable.

Open aworld.ini in notepad?
Here's a wishlist item :) How about a *checkbox* in the Settings -> Advanced section thats says: Enable Logging [ ] that would take about.... 1/2 hour of coding if that. Would make life easier for everyone instead of the average person remembering what to write in an ini file... just a thought... |
