Battie you are too strong for me. You have won... Yes, mail ticker works perfectly well. There is no bug at all. I use The Bat since 1997 but probably all that it's a long dream. You are right. I love this mail ticker. We all love mail ticker. It doesn't bug at all. It's not a bug. It's just an improvement. Yes an improvement... Thanks a lot Battie. You convinced me... Mail Ticker it's really really wonderful. One of the most beautiful things ever created...
Thanks. Thanks a lot to have opened my eyes... I was blind... PS The help file concerning age limit was the same for V4 but again I am sure it's not a bug. Just an improvement... |

Nope, it's not a case of winning or losing. I think you missed what I mentioned here ( )
I believe your representation should be strong, clear, unambiguous and backed up with good supporting data (like for instance screenshots.) Making wild accusations and turning personal on somebody who is just trying to help does not further your cause. Your friend, Kenny was able to clarify the matter in a better way:-
Nevertheless, hope you guys can make a decent compilation of your case to restore the Mail Ticker functionality to V4 state - I'll vote for it but not for the Mail Ticker to pop up when set for 'Automatically' and 'Always,' as well (we don't require 2 different features vying with each other to accomplish the same function.) cheers, (^ _^) Battie --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Se7en Ultimate (SP-1) | The Bat!

Having just bit the bullet and upgraded to 5.0.16 I can confirm that the Mail Ticker which worked fine in v4.x does not work properly in v5. Using time limits it does not work at all (why would it be "hideous" if it displayed only an age-filtered set of messages?) and without the time limits it displays the unread messages and also a couple of messages in an IMAP account which have been read. Nowhere in the Help (identical for v4 and v5) does it say that the Mail Ticker should not scroll if you apply age limits. Not scrolling rather defeats the purpose of the Mail Ticker. This is clearly a bug and it baffles me why anyone could think otherwise. |

This thread consists of 2 parts - the first part where this issue was not clearly communicated by the OP causing a debate and the second part where Kenny came in and was able to make a satisfying clarification that resulted in a consensus encouraging (from my end) those that considered it to be a bug to report it in a strong, clear, unambiguous manner backed up with good supporting data.
It's very unfortunate that you've chosen to quote a section of my post from the first part that is rendered redundant in the light of my most recent post right on top of yours with special reference to my statement in bold - "I'll vote for it." Going forward, I'll treat this unnecessary post of yours as non-opportunistic and would be more than happy if you or anyone else submits a bug report along the following lines:- cheers, (^ _^) Battie --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Se7en Ultimate (SP-1) | The Bat!

This wasn't clear...?? Everybody understand but not you... It's so complicate for you too admit that you were wrong and you made a mistake? You spent hours trying to convince me that everything was ok and then you admitted you never used mail ticker previously.... And now finally you are understanding that there is a bug... BTW, a bug report has been already submitted...

You should have simply stated in your initial post that "When the 'Age Limit' is set, the Mail Ticker displays the number of messages correctly but does not scroll" - was that so complicated for you?
Yes, I had not tried the the Mail Ticker in V4 and hence was not at all aware that the Mail Ticker is supposed to scroll when the 'Age Limit' is set - but, you having already used it in V4, could you not have been more precise? When you failed to make it clear with your words, could you not have illustrated the same with a screenshot? On my part (having not seen the Mail Ticker behavior with 'Age Limits' in V4,) the only benchmark that I had at my disposal for a comparison was the V5 'Help' file and the Mail Ticker behavior in V5 is completely in keeping with the description in the 'Help' file, - the V5 'Help' section does not indicate that the Mail Ticker shall scroll with the 'Age Limits' enabled. Please understand, RitLabs has made a change in the Mail Ticker function, by design - just as they had done with the 'Mail Redirect' feature (check out the following links):- Subsequently the 'Mail Redirect' function was not only restored but also enhanced - this resolution came about purely due to a clarity of thought and communication of the same. BTW, if you re-check, you will be unable to find that statement where I'm supposed to have alluded to this issue as a bug.
Congratulations to you and especially to Kenny and everyone else - better late than never, wishing all of you my very best, with sincere hopes that the present behavior of the Mail ticker is restored to V4 state at the earliest (and probably even enhanced like it was with the 'Mail Redirect' behavior) cheers, (^ _^) Battie --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Se7en Ultimate (SP-1) | The Bat!

I think that sums up matters perfectly. A sensible discussion on an issue has been prolonged and obscured by Battie (who has no experience of the feature as he admits and demonstrates so clearly in his posts) insisting that it was not a bug. Now in his latest post he is doing the same thing! He obviously did not read my previous post where I pointed out that the help on Mail Ticker is identical in V4 and V5, and nowhere does it say that with age limits the Ticker will not scroll. To pretend this is "by design" rather than a bug is simply absurd. It would be like Microsoft releasing a Windows 8 which did not allow resizing of any windows and then insisting it was a design feature. It would be much better if Battie were to bow out gracefully and confine his posts to topics where he has experience of the features rather than continuing to try to obscure the issue and descending to pointless ad hominem comments. |

My initial comments on the V5 'Help' vis-à-vis the V4 files were made much before you arrived on the scene:- The subsequent comments on the V5 'Help' vis-à-vis the V4 files (after your previous post) was merely drawing attention to my initial post on the same in an effort to highlight how and when the misunderstanding took place and not to dispute your statement about both the V4 and V5 'Help' files being the identical. On the contrary, I took your statement at face value . . . . . in good trust.
Rather, it would be better if you accepted my expression of congratulations in the true spirit and with the honesty with which it was extended instead of trying to aggravate the situation with mischievous and personal attacks. cheers, (^ _^) Battie --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Se7en Ultimate (SP-1) | The Bat!

I am not attacking anyone, personally or otherwise. I am not describing other posters as "mischievous", "opportunistic", or "infantile". I am simply another user who (having just upgraded from v4 to v5 and as a user of the Mail Ticker for many years) is confirming what Duralux Duralux and Kenny have reported, that there is a bug (not a design feature) in the new version.
Now that this is agreed by all and reported, I shall say no more but leave it to Battie to have the last word as I am sure he will. |

The mail ticker bug has been officially confirmed after I reported it to the Bugs Tracking System the 28 of June...
Ouf! This bug wasn't a dream...  Let's hope Ritlabs now will find a solution because, as Uko says in the notes, with this bug mail ticker is completely useless.

Mail Ticker has been repaired!
To use it, for the moment the only solution is to download (at your own risk) the last beta: The Bat! 5.0.18.2 You have to replace the exe file with this one: Yeah it works! I am happy considering that I had to spend hours to convince an user that this was bug was real... 8)

Nope, I have no desire to have the last word . . . . . . . not unless you try to tickle my testicles (with direct reference to the following quote.)

For past 4 years I am using mailticker with TB on 6 systems [5xPCs] + [1xLaptop] All TBs been set to 8-hour age limits. Dont remember how and when, but till recently all mailtickers working nearly perfectly, only one problem is that no mail-ticker is scrolling. Otherwise all other ways, mailticker correctly working. I got 5.0.18 fr om ritlab. Is 5.0.18.2 and 5.0.18 same. If not, wh ere to download it and why not it is available on download page. Why download page is showing old version?
Thanking in advance.

5.0.18.2 is not the same as 5.0.18, 5.0.18.2 is a beta and that's why it isn't listed on the official download page.

No 5.0.18 and 5.0.18.2 are not the same. Mailticker scrolling only works with 5.0.18.2 which is a beta version
A beta version means that you use it at your own risk and could be not stable. For me it works great, but who knows... If you have problem it's at your own risk Anyway you can download it here: You have to unrar the file, you got the EXE file and you have to replace it with the original file within The Bat folder (better if you make a copy of the old EXE if you have a problem). Other solution: to wait for the new release: few days, weeks or months...
