    The first voice viewer was v1.18.2.0.

    Looking at my archives (*), LL's sources timestamp for this viewer version is 10 August 2007. Since sources were released together with the binaries, the latter have likely been released on this day.

     

    (*) I was already developing my private viewer builds based on LL's sources with a set of individual patches added.

    To check my memory, I poked around and found that there is a document in the JIRA dated September 20, 2007 that apparently contains the documentation for Vivox - SL Voice.  That fits my recollection that Voice became available within months after I joined in early 2007.  I'm sure there are other historical trails to follow, but that's the best I've found so far.  My guess is that Torley's tutorial video was probably put together over the following months.

    Oh ok. TY

    Has anyone else experience this when teleporting or someone tries to teleport you??

    Did you enable the ”Advanced” -> ”Network” -> ”TP race workaround” feature ?

    It helps a lot avoiding this issue.

    Note also that restarting your PC won't change a thing: it is a race condition between the server and the viewer: LL is aware of it and working on it. See this thread for all the gory details (warning: highly technical stuff ahead !).

    Depending on the routers between your PC and SL servers, things can be ”better or worst than usual”...

    This what it says sometimes when I teleport, or someone teleports me: "You have been logged out of Second Life: You have been disconnected from the region you were in.

    You can still look at existing IM and chat by clicking 'View IM & Chat'.  Otherwise, click Quit.' to exit Second Life Immediately. 

    This has been happening a lot sometimes. I go to quit and log back in, or I restart my pc. And I still have the same problems sometimes. 

    The Third-party viewer I use is The Cool VL Viewer. 

    This is interesting.

    YES!  Too happy to see my favorite viewer is being placed on that 3rd party list.  I LOVE Cool VL Viewer because it's light, old skool, and truly amazing!  Well for me... I love it. 

    Henri did the amazing job for it.  Congrats, @Henri Beauchamp You are awesome and thank you for making it! ♥♥♥  Congrats once again, Henri!

    Yes, it's a great Third-Party Viewer. I love using The Cool VL Viewer. I hope more people in Second Life will know about The Cool VL Viewer now. Since it's listed now on the Third-Party Viewer Directory.

    Do you all think that Second Life is less sociable now than before?

    Everyone has different preferences and what I am reading in the last few pages of this topic is that some people are judging others for having different preferences to them because it doesn't suit them.

    When I go to a club, I am there to listen to the music and engage in some light social chatter with the people in the room who want to participate in that.  I don't really want the vast majority of random IMs.

    People often feel free to say a whole bunch of stuff in IMs that they would never say in chat where others can see which can include a whole range of bad behaviours.  Surprise, surprise!

    If I don't know a person and they cannot say what they want to me in chat, then I don't want to receive it.  I understand that it's not reasonable to expect others to know my preferences without telling them and so my auto-response is on to let them know that I am happy to talk in chat but not privately in IMs.   I get that some people feel more comfortable in IMs instead of chat but as they are a stranger to me, I don't have to indulge them.

    To me talking one-on-one in private IMs only at a SL social gathering of any kind is no different to going to one in RL where everyone is able to text everyone in the room whether they know them or are a total stranger and that is what they are exclusively doing so there is no general chatter at all.  That's not a social environment to me.

    In my world, chat is where the casual social interactions take place, IMs are where private conversations take place.

    Of course, it's different if I know the person beyond exchanging a few words and/or we are chatting in a group.
     

    I agree on that. But like you said everyone is different. For me I rather hang out with people in Second Life and do things with them. Instead of just sitting by myself in Second Life. I am a very sociable person in Second Life. But like you said everyone is different and some may not want that. Like I do in Second Life
