Why can't I tp to another avatar on viewer 2 or follow them with my camera?

On viewers such as Singularity you can select a name on the list and tp to them or follow them with your camera.

Why can't you do this on viewer 2??

[Ansariel Hiller]

Because the official viewer is dumbed down to simplicity. Lots of third party viewers can do such basic features: http://viewerdirectory.secondlife.com/

And this is a privacy issue so it will be removed shortly from TPVs, according to the news about SL Viewers.

And that is 100% wrong!

Monti, where do you get that information?  According to what I've read, viewers won't be allowed to report true on line status (although Oz Linden has said this is being looked at again based on the amount of negative comments they've received).  I have heard nothing of the "teleport to" feature being labeled a "privacy" concern or being removed from TPVs.

Actually, you CAN follow someone with your camera, with any viewer.  Just alt click on them.  Now their avatar has your camera focus, and your camera will move when they do.
