Which Notices?

If you are talking about Notices from the groups you are in, then your SL Viewer is operating correctly as they should not remain across a SL /viewer logoff/logon sessions.

If you mean some other type of notices, please elaborate.

Please update your question with additional information regarding your problem as follows: Select the Options drop-down menu to the right of your question and select Edit Question.

Group notices, etc. that people allow to build up unacknowledged can cause viewer crashing and login problems, and I suspect what you're seeing is an attempt to solve this. Your group notices are still available if you go to the group info panel for your groups and look for notices.

why not Karen? I actually liked that feature...it was one of the main reasons i stayed w/the LL viewer

[Shanndarra Fenwitch]

& yes, I kwno they are still there, but I have so many grps, that when I crash, its easier to have them "on my screen" than to have ot slog thru all my grps to see which one(s) actually posted something.

Notices are a class of messages sent to your avatar account by a group. They are routed to you via the region you're are in at ant given time. Your viewer collects these messages on your behalf and displays them to you. Immediately when you are online! ~ or ! At your next login if you happen to be offline or worst, the region you are standing in is messed up and not delivering messages to the avatar's in it.

Once the message is displayed it is suppose to be discarded. When it's not discarded your viewer session collects "trash" and your subsequent logins become problematic. When you upgraded your viewer the "broken" messaging management data was finally cleared out.

Old messages hanging around after a crash or login are a bug not a feature.

Past group messages are in fact available for you to review by looking at the group / notices tab of the group you're are interested in.

Happy SLing
