Thumbs up Techno for now, but not forever

Hey guys....

I'm no developer, but, yes, I had enough time to think this thing through to come up with my workaround (not a solution).

Since no developer can second guess what fonts a user may have installed (and the ensuing spacing that goes along with the fonts), the safest bet is to go with a system font, since everyone has it.

Originally, Chiago was the only Large System Font for Macintosh. Now, there's a choice of about six. That may have come with System 9.x but I won't swear to that.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that once you switch to Techno, set your favourite Options settings in LW, you can still switch back to whatever Large System Font you like (until you want to change Options again).

I certainly wouldn't use anything as ugly as Techno for day-to-day work.

Then again, I guess it's a personal preference thing.

As I mentioned earlier, if the developers can scale the Options box size up to accomodate the widest Large System Font, everyone should be happy.

Thumbs down 2.3.1 doesn't fix it!

I'm running 9.2.2 on a 450 G4 and I'm here to tell you that Limewire 2.3.1 does NOT fix the unresizable window problem everyone is having. I can't believe you can't duplicate this problem! Find a different Mac to download your own software onto and try THAT!

Default Works

Techno font works for me... Mac Os 9.1
Others do not. Very good.
Now if only I can figure out why I must manually change the
"keep approximately _ connections up" to 6 everytime I start up.
The program remembers to put a 6 in that slot...but only connects to 3.
I must retype in 6 after startup.
I guess I should type this as a new thread.

Hey folks -- give 2.3.3 a shot. I changes one last thing so that it's now exactly like the older versions, so hopefully it will be fixed. Let me know if this solves it.

If you have Pro, you can download 2.3.3 from your pro download link. Otherwise, you need to go to our web site.

Sorry again for the frustrations.

First, I turned off the Techno
Second, I went to my PRO download page
Third, I found only " LW 2.3.2" available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forth, I turned Techno back on so I can use my LW 2.2.4 version
Fifth, I wrote myself a note to check the download site again, tomorrow

I guess that I'm too fast for you, afisk.

I'm running 2.3.3-- I downloaded it yesterday. I still have the same problem, I'm afraid, though I haven't tried the Techno solution.

The pro version actually is 2.3.3, even though it says 2.3.2. Sorry to hear it didn't work for at least one person. I'll keep trying to reproduce it here.

Default Read my lips

Dear developer...

Are you reading anything in this thread?

I think I explained very carefully what's wrong with your Mac implementation. You certainly haven't fixed anything with 2.3.3

Just make the damned Options box wider!

Meanwhile I guess we're stuck using Techno as the Large System Font to use the Options box.

OK, today I did it...
downloaded and installed LWPro 2.3.3
(didn't give up mt good old LW 1.7 though)

I can confirm that the "options widow" problem is still there;
NO CHANGE SEEN from LW 2.2.4 Pro; boxes do not appear any wider in 2.3.3

Also, something NEW has been added; a new PROBLEM (for me):
After using LW 2.3.3 for about 2hrs and 3 audio downloads (which completed OK),;

Lost the "X" boxes in the searching tabs...Also the number of "Hits"...
and any display of Search results (BLANK SEARCH WINDOW).

"statistics" was OK (working);
showed (3) Ultrapeer hosts with (215) hosts; 31,000+ files, 150,000 MGs and the stats were in action

Yet, NO "results" for:
D*re Str*its/Elt*n J*hn/Br*ce Spr*ngstein/L*d Z*pplin/B**tles/etc.etc.etc.
and these (artist only) searches generally return 'TOO" many(is it possible) hits.

Did my LW Pro 2.3.3 get tired?
Still had more memory available.
Using a Mac Performa 6360 OS 9.1 *)Mgs RAM; AOL dial-up (AOL was OK at the time)

Anyone else?
