large sphere blinking in and out after horse ride

[WaituGou1488312832]

I took a darn carriage ride yesterday and attached a horse to myself.  At the end I had trouble unattaching the horse and had to re-unattach it several times before it 'took.'  Ever since I unattached the horse, there is a large sphere blinking/chopping in and out around my avatar.  I tried changing clothes, signing off etc. Any ideas?

Try a character test, and clearing cache (both through the viewer and manually).

I tried clearing the cache via the viewer and then trying a character test (I looked up what these were then followed the instructions).  The glitchy sphere is still there, but maybe it's just a temporary thing and it will go away. Thanks for the ideas.

What viewer do you run? It almost sounds like a 'bridge' that some viewers use to connect the viewer to the world to provide features such as radar.  These are generally large round objects connected to the center of your avatar that are supposed to be invisible but every once in a while go bad and become visable.

Hello WaituGou and welcome to SL Forums. If you use Firestorm try right click on you --> Avatar --> Avatar Health --> Recreate bridge. Normally it will fix your issue.

I use the regular second life viewer, most updated version (I think 3 or something).  Would changing to pheonix or firestorm help with this? Will other people see this big sphere blinking in and out? I guess I could ask some randoms.

Do CTRL ALT T and see if the horse is still attached to you.

Thanks for the ideas folks, updating to Phoenix Firestorm helped immensely, rarely do I have resolution issues.  CTRL-ALT-R is also very helpful when fuzzy lol.
