Earlier this year, the object property search program has been removed from the website of Tomas (#312020) . However, the website of Tomas ( aw.softstar.se ) remains useful, you can download the bot program jabb_lite, and you still have the world stats. |
| Now the object property search is available in the AW Forum: |
| https://forums.activeworlds.com//read.php?7,368158 |
| -> Note : the url only works "inside" the Activeworlds program. |

| * These quest challenges are equal as the quest challenges of last year, but there are 20 quests planned . Vampyre is very busy with building these quests, and it may take some time until all the quests are operational. |

| * Tip : How to view the correct url-links of the immigration messages |
| |
| This problem may occur when you enter Alphaworld : in the immigration messages, you see various url links : about the wiki, the property search, the aw pricing, the new feed, and the U-path. It may happen that you only see the U-path link (instead of the other content). |
| First solution : if people are chatting , then there will appear a vertical slider bar in the chat window. Scroll up and you will see that the url-links will work now. |
| Second solution : if there is no chat, then you make the chat window smaller, so that a vertical slider bar appears in the chat window. Now scroll up and click the url-link. |
| |
| This problem only occurs , if you enter a world that has a url-link in the immigration message, then the immigration messages of the aw-universe don't work if the chat window has not yet a vertical slider bar. |
