Nuvya Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hiii Well, I think something weird happened to me recently when I open the Firestorm viewer and this message appears. So I just ignored it and closed the viewer and opened it again and another message appeared. Is this something common? I don't know but now I don't want to log in hahah. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. ❤️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagnu Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Personally, I find nothing amusing in this at all. My first thought was a hack. I have a lot of time and money invested in SL. The last thing I need is a hack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The Firestorm team has been doing it for years and April Fools Day is celebrated around the globe, not just the US. It didn't even originate here. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew that it WAS humour, then it IS funny. The problem is, I didn't. The OP didn't know either. If I had known it wasn't some sort of hack, them I would have laughed!!!

If this had appeared on any other day, I could see how you might suspect a hack, but on April 1st one should consider it might be a harmless joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think they took all your virtual pets and turned them into Godzilla? Your reaction must be an April Fool's joke.

Jaylinbridges Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 My first FS login said my castle was bobbing up and down after the new Physics install. I was worried my candles would fall off the shelves and burn my castle down. Then I remembered I didn't have a castle on my land anymore. Whew that was close! I guess LL did nothing at all this year for April Fools Day. And that was the joke. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is date/time info visible on that screen. But I am still, several days later, getting similar warning messages. Same style, not jokes, but I know I wasn't getting them, a week ago, before All Fools Day. So it looks like some setting in Firestorm changed, but I have had no luck in discovering how I can switch this off. I could have accidentally turned it on, I was trying to find a different setting, but finding these switches can be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did, then restore them and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one warning about the Hover issue that showed up today that looks similar to the April.Fools windows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still happening, regardless of the viewer used. TP'd for a while today with the latest Kokua release in Linux. I'm not annoyed by it as it hasn't caused other problems for me, like randomly losing stuff in inventory, but it should be fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is actually no longer an April Fools' joke, but a legitimate message with a legitimate link to the Lab's bug reporting system. Have you even checked the link? The message was issued due to the fact that the support division got flooded with inquiries asking about this issue; And no, there is no way to remove that from the splash screen for a user - the message will need to be removed by the Firestorm team when it is deemed fit to do so. And that is intentional. Edited April 6 by panterapolnocy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
