Im running Phoenix viewer..

I use windows 7 and IE8.. and when I click a SLurl it doesn't work.

I haven't used IE in years, hate it. Its bloated and slow on any operating system. Best solution, use FireFox.

i don't use internet explorer myself, but you believe you can follow the steps as given by another windows 7/ie8 user here: http://blogs.secondlife.com/message/19000#19000

hope it helps

IE8 and LL's Viewer 2 work fine with SLURLs. I suspect the problem is with your viewer.

yeah I was thinking the same thing... just hadn't gotten to it yet... have now though and slurls are working perfectly

problems not the viewer.. it was the association of the two.. but got it solved.. now using firefox with Phoenix.. tried the LL viewer 2.. hated it.. I'll stick with Phoenix.. slurls now working perfectly.

There are different ways to go about getting SLURL's to work with various browsers. Read: Emerald Viewer vs SLURL - it is old but noting has changed. You need to change the name Emerald to what ever viewer name your using and all should work. It does require editing the registry.

Each time you install a viewer, the install can change the registry and reset the settings for how SLURL's are handled. Chrome and Firefox have settings that tell the browser how to handle the SecondLife: protocol.

Hi, I just made an utility that lets you handle the SLUrls: http://sltwisteddetails.com/downloads/

Open it, drag your viewer shortcut on the listbox then click select and SLUrls will open for that viewer. Alternatively it can copy the SLUrls to clipboard so you can paste them in chat, which is handy when using multiple clients at the same time
