Clicking a Magic Box still takes you to XSTREET website with incorrect redirect?

[Harmony Deschanel]

Really Linden Lab, how long has the marketplace been up and the magic boxes still take you to XStreet's website when you click them?  I was recently testing this and was amazed it was trying to take me to that website and then when it redirected you to the marketplace it didn't even attempt to take you to the store I was looking for.

Is this going to get fixed anytime soon?  Marketplace has been out, what, over a year now and this is still happening?

This needs to be fixed now.

That is not the only place that tries to take you to xstreet. In the gestures button in the bottom bar there is a menu item - more gestures or something like that (I don't have the viewer at hand so I can't look it up) - which also send you to xstreet. At least it did not long ago. Hopefully it has been fixed...

Greetings!

Since the Magic Boxes were created for the Xstreet SL web site if anyone clicks on them, they will be taken to the Xstreet SL web site.

To prevent this, place your Magic Box in a location outside of public access.

So your answer is "We can't fix this."  Could you explain why you choose not to or cannot fix it?  I understand they were created to go to the Xstreet website, but it's in the scripting that this is done I would assume, since this website was originally created by residents.  You, Linden Lab, bought them out, and now you're telling us you cannot or will not change the scripting for the magic boxes?  Please explain why.

Edit: corrected spelling error.

Hello Harmony,

You may search the forums for all posts regarding Direct Delivery for answers to your questions regarding why the Magic Box scripts have not been updated.

Actually I found a JIRA on this and am still amazed something so simple hasn't been fixed in a year or more.  Thanks though for the replies

Frankly, clicking the box I can live with...

however, when you go to 'Magic Box Status' from the Marketplace Merchant Home, that takes you to the xstreet site too.

I was completely dumbfounded as what i thought i was looking at was a whole slew of unassociated inventory & item listings. It took me a lot of jumping back & forth & resyncing before I realised I'd been 'TPd' off-site

So, the short form is - How do I check the box/inventory/listing status now?
