My character is a giant orange cloud, how do I fix that?

[WheezyWookiee]

I was playing last night for a bit and tried to set up a new avatar for myself, then when I tried to log in today, I was just a giant orange cloud, and as my friend told me I'm still rezing. Well, it's still a giant orange cloud, I have no idea what to do, I tried looking at a few other posts that have to do with rebaking my appearance but so far none of that has worked. Is there anything else I can do to fix my avatars appearance? ;3;

Hi Wheezy,

What you're describing is often the result of "bake fail". Here are some pages that deal with that...

Bake Fail is sometimes the result of connection issues. SL is terribly finicky about the quality and latency of the connection, but not so much about the speed. You may have a super zippy link, but if it's dropping packets, or there is excessive delay in getting those packets between you and the servers, problems will arise. Here's more about fixing connection problems...

Good luck!
