"Login Failed. The system is logging you out right now. Your account will not be available until."

That's nothing to worry about at all.  When you crash, the servers don't have time to log you out gracefully.  Since you are not truly logged out yet, they can't let you log back in again until they have cleaned up the mess.  So they tell you to wait.  Usually, the wait period is quite short -- a minute or so -- but if things got really screwed up, it can take longer.  Go make yourself a cup of tea, or do sit ups for a couple of minutes.  You can probably use a break.

No, not ghosting.  That really was an ancient problem, related to technology that is no longer around.  The "problem" that the OP posted about (two years ago) is not really a problem at all.  As I pointed out then, it takes the servers a few minutes to clean up when you crash unexpectedly.  Until they finish removing your previous login from the files, they can't let you log back in.  So they send you that message if you try.

When you get that, it's also possible you have ghosted....a term used for when you are still partially connected. Keep trying to log back in as quickly as you can. You'll get back in within about 5 minutes. If you don't...keep on trying to log in. If you are ghosted you have a short window when your account actually isn't logged in to SL when you can get in and knock the ghost off.

Good luck.

Bobbie, they say that they fixed the "ghosted" avatar problem more than a year ago. Have you seen any instances of this bug recently? I haven't.

[Rolig Loon]

Right. That problem was resolved sometime in early 2013. I don't recall any comments about it here since then, and I don't see any in the JIRA.that are more recent than 2012.

[DejaVuRain]

It still happens. It happened to me like 5 minutes ago.

I have only seen this 'ghosted' when a user gets disconnected. Their avatar may hang around for a couple of minutes before poofing. I can sort of tell when someone I am interacting with is about to poof.

I haven't seen the old time ghosts that used to hang around for days (until the regions restarted) and blocked you from entering the region in subsequent logins.

...and WAY more than a year ago.

[Lindal Kidd]

@Nalates:  Yes.  That response was posted almost two years ago.

Rolig Loon. I see, sorry for the confusion. Ive been in SL since 2009 and remember the ghosting you speak of, it happened to me a lot back then, I assumed it was doing the same thing.  Thanks for your response. I think I understand it a little better now ?

Sorry for the late reply, least its not  quite as late as 2 years eh?? ??
