Disappearing Furniture-HELP!

[Jennifer Boyle]

Some of the furniture in my house is owned by a former roommate who last logged on over three years ago. Yesterday, I noticed that it had all disappeared. When I investigated, I found that it still shows in the list of objects on the land in parcel details, and it still shows in Firestorm area search. There is no obstruction to avatar movement where the furniture was, and when I hit alt-ctrl-T with graphics setting as low as possible, the furniture doesn't show.  The owner is not on the mute list, The Firestorm asset blacklist is empty.

Can anyone help?

Did you try deleting your cache? (If the objects are still on the server, it's almost certainly the viewer just not seeing them.)

Yes, I did that, to no effect.

Thanks.

Does everyone not see it? What about on the LL viewer?

Pamela, I logged on on a different account with FS, and it looked the same, as it did when I looked at it in Radigast's 3D view with the other account. It also looked the same to a friend on FS.

Looks like I'll be heading over to La Galleria!

Hmmm -- what is puzzling is that the furniture shows up in area search etc. I don't think I have heard of that before, I guess I would ask for a sim reset next. Long ago that fixed a problem where I could things in my store that others could not, which I realize is not the case here.

Still they show on area search (and in the land info), but nobody sees them or bumps in to them, could they have been moved - maybe way high or way low?  Does the Firestorm area search give a location - I can't remember?

You can teleport directly to them if you go to Build > Pathfinding > linksets

Double click on the item in Area Search. A red arrow and a red beam appear to lead you to the item. The item STILL might not show up but that is where the server thinks it is :D.   This in Firestorm.

Bet it is underground or in the sky or inside a wall like I had lol. Tried to retrieve it and deleted my wall.

I am an idiot!

First, thanks to Pamela and Chic for some very useful tips.  It turns out that the furniture really is gone. The reason that I thought it still showed in area search and in parcel details was that they showed a fairly large number of objects owned by the owner of the missing furniture, and I assumed that it was included. It turned out that (only) furniture that wasn't missing was what was showing up.

The silver lining is that I learned a lesson and some useful techniques.

Thanks to all who responded.
