  1. I don't know if this will help, but here you go: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Okay-maybe-this-will-work-for-you-like-it-did-for-me-I/qaq-p/2376243/comment-id/36387#M36387
  2. Okay, maybe this will work for you like it did for me. I'm using Windows 7, by the way. Thanks to Oz Linden for pointing me in the right direction about the shortcut! EDIT: Got ahead of myself again. A quicker fix than below: 1. Right-Click and select Properties for your shortcut(s) to Second Life. 2. In the window that comes up, under the Shortcut tab, look in the box labeled Target. 3. If has a part that says SecondLife.exe, change it to SecondLifeViewer.exe 4. That's it. If that doesn't work, try this: 1. Install the update or let it install itself, but don't start the viewer yet. 2. Your shortcut to Second Life on your desktop or in your quick launch bar, etc? Delete it! (The one in your Start menu should be okay, you don't have to delete it) 3. Open the folder where Second Life is installed. C:\Program Files (x86)\SecondLifeViewer or similar. 4. Inside that folder there will be a bunch of files. Look for a shortcut (not the .exe etc) called "Second Life Viewer" - copy/paste that new shortcut to wherever you had the old one(s). 5. Now you can use the new shortcut like the old one. If it works, you won't have to do a clean reinstall (be careful deleteing that folder in Local by the way, that's where your log files live! Also, a side-effect I noticed that might be the tell for this problem: Launching from the old shortcut and then going to Help menu > About Second Life gave me this: ...instead of the usual about info. After manually replacing the shortcut, it went back to normal.
  3. An excellent reason to have the official viewer installed... just in case Singularity alpha also has no problem with the TOS window.
  4. For future Googlers: After installing the Firebug add-on: 1. Under the Social Connect tab on the My Settings page, click the theme thumbnail for Tokyo Madness to activate that theme. 2. Now, right-click the same thumbnail, and select Inspect Element with Firebug. 3. You'll see a slice of code open in the bottom half of the window, with a chunk something like <img class="skin-thumbnail" border="0" /> hilighted. 4. Scroll up a little from what's hilighted, you're looking for a line that reads <input id="lia-portraitBadgeTheme_0" type="hidden" name="lia-portraitBadgeTheme" value="tb_tokyomadness"> 5. Click on the part that reads "tb_tokyomadness" and it should turn editable. Change it to tb_none and press Tab once. 6. Back on the settings form ("Create a Profile Badge"), scroll to the bottom and click the Save button. The page should refresh and the preview on the right should now look like the default, no-settings style. EDIT: You will still have the same background image, so set that before you do this little hack.
  5. I hate to necro this, but I had the same problem, and figured out how to fix it. So this is here as a "Dear people from the future" for whenever someone Googles this. Like me. Six months from now when I do a fresh install and don't remember how I fixed this. To be more specific about the problem: The "Invert Mouse" setting controls the up/down movement while in mouselook, so that's not what we're looking for. The problem here is that normally, when you're in third person, walking, you can left-click and hold your avatar's back, and then drag the mouse to the left and right to steer. Normally, (or at least, previously by default) your avatar would turn towards the direction you dragged the mouse. The new default (viewer 3x) SEEMS to be inverting that, dragging to the left turns your avatar clockwise (to the right). What's actually happened is that the "Single click on land" setting in the Move & View tab in preferences is set to "Move to Clicked Point" by default. It's pretty self-explanatory: instead of right-clicking on land and selecting Walk/Move Here, you can just click once, a little dot appears, and your avatar starts walking towards it. The problem is that with this setting on, the viewer ignores when you click and hold on your avatar, instead steering like it would if you clicked and held on the land. Sorry that was so long winded, I get that way when I've gone too long without sleeping. TL;DR: To fix this problem in Viewer 3 (and maybe other viewers built on it, eg Firestorm): Click Me menu > Preferences. Click the Move & View tab. In the drop down menu next to Single click on land, select No Action. Click OK to close/save preferences. Change takes effect immediately. Changing the debug setting ClickToWalk to False does the same thing. [EDIT]: Yeah, I was waay too tired. Sorry, Mootly, I think the thread post order is set on "Shuffle" for some reason and I didn't see your post. Have a Kudo(s?). /me goes back to lurking.
  6. I'd just like to point out to anyone waiting for Firestorm to get mesh that you don't need Viewer 3 beta to see it. Viewer 2 works with mesh. I'd also like to mention that Kirsten's is already fully mesh compatable, and it's a lot more stable than Viewer 2.
  7. Kirsten's is already mesh compatible, and more stable than the SL viewer. Might be worth trying.
  8. YAY ohwait http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2011/08/25/post1390/ To their credit, they rolled it back right away, instead of waiting a week. I am curious what the problem was.
