Bewkie Effingham Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Linden Lab's updated the TOS. Now when I log in, it asks me to accept the TOS, but nothing appears. The only only option is to cancel. I have tried on a different computer, and also on two seperate viewers, including the official viewer. What gives? If it's going to be broken, or overloaded, couldn't there be an option on the website to accept the new TOS? Or is there anything else I can do to get logged in? Extremely frustrating.
Ren Toxx Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Scroll the TOS text all the way down to the bottom, it then should let you accept (it's their way of saying: 'no, really, you HAVE to read it' ). If that doesn't work, try it with any other viewer you may have installed. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/Updated-Terms-Of-Service/td-p/1997113
Bewkie Effingham Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 The window is there.. but the TOS doesn't show up at all. It's just a blank window. Both the square beside the check box and the continue button are greyed out. I have tried both the official viewer, Firestorm and Singularity. This is ridiculous.
Kelley Foxclaw Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 This has happened in the past too, not many options you have, until they wake up
Cerise Sorbet Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 You can try a login in with the old Imprudence viewer. That is available from http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory/Imprudence Imprudence uses the old Web libraries that were in viewer 1.23, and such viewers tend to succeed in accepting the ToS when newer viewers don't. Imprudence is not really suitable for really using with Second Life any more (no mesh, etc.), but it will still let you log in for this.
Bewkie Effingham Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 The old Imprudence worked for me. Thank you so much! What a bunch of trouble to go through though for a simple update.
Motor Loon Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 For what its worth I'm on the latest Firestorm, and the new TOS loaded just fine here along with working buttons...
Lucia Nightfire Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 slplugin.exe has to be running for your viewer to get the text of the TOS at login which will then enable the agree button. I purposely block the loading of slplugin.exe and had to temporarily allow it just so I could accept the terms, then reblock it again.
WolfBaginski Bearsfoot Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Firestorm worked for me, but it was horribly slow. I think we may have found an element of the Lindern server system that is prone to falling over under load.
