It keeps the windlight you had before you logged off. If you have problems with windlight reverting, it's either a corrupted preferences file or you may have accidentally changed the debug setting for it at some point. The JIRA was about the current Maintenance viewer where that behavior has been changed from the current release viewer - also, the current release viewer doesn't have a debug setting at all for that attribute. Thank you for playing though... Keep up, ChinRey! [This is General Discussion NOT the Technical forum.]

You can upload profile images for nothing if you do it via your profile feed rather than inworld. You can access your profile feed directly via https://my.secondlife.com, via which you can upload a profile picture in Settings. [see, I can be helpful, especially if it means denying LL revenue.] PS Do yourself a favour and DO NOT look at the "Trending" tab. Not without eye bleach to hand.

zomg! Carole's dropped the Gorean Grannie persona, had a sex change, and is doing the forum agony aunt thing again. [by the way, we know Dave is a figment of your imagination and just someone to blame when the lawyers come calling.] However, since you're here, can you help? Yesterday I was driving to work and about half a mile from home my drive shaft failed; I walked back to the house and when I got back I found my wife in bed with both the milkman and the postman. Now, my question is, do you know a good reliable garage which does Ford repairs in the Milton Keynes area?

But it doesn't run ANY flavour of Unix...

Would this do instead? Since I once worked for a company that used to sell Convergent Technology kit, I actually have one of these (AT&T 7300, known as a 3B1 in the UK, which was the first Unix PC) in the garage gathering dust. I even persuaded the London Design Museum to put one on display rather than an IBM PC, an ACT Sirius/Victor (their initial preferred option) or [spit] an Apple machine.

You don't understand, Karen! It's ONLY in SL that she has these problems, so it can not be the keyboard; it MUST be something to do with the way Second Life interacts with her keyboard drivers. [if you can't fix it, can't we get that Unix "expert", JohnnyWonderful, or whatever his name is, to respond. Oh, forget that; his own keyboard seems to have similar problems . . . ]

Hey, Rich, have you tried to get an explanation over in the Answers section for this? Or do you reckon the Many Worlds Interpretation as applied to Sock Theory is too much for them? [As an aside, given the universality of bilateral symmetry, how can we be sure that what you are saying is left is the same as what we are considering left, and vice versa for right.]

If DNS Poisoning (ISP originated or just by someone who has a grudge against LL) is the cause, then could it be confirmed, and worked around, by entering the numerical IP address of a Second Life server? [it's funny, I have this peculiar sense of deja vu reading your post, Karen; it would be awful if posting across multiple forums were to be encouraged, particularly if it affected the sanctity of a General Discussions forum . . . ]

Could somebody rush over to Answers and rescue poor Kesawna, who has reinstalled Ubuntu, causing terrible things to happen to her. Mainly: Her keyboard delay is set too short, so letters are repeated.However, some letters aren't appearing at all.Her period key is severely defective, operating only intermittently.None of the other punctuation keys (including Return) appear to be working.Her shift key just doesn't work!If you are an expert in Ubuntu keyboard remapping please could you help her, or goodness knows what people will think of her.

Perhaps Grumpity fixes clocks in his spare time as well . . . "Ve haff vays of making you tock!"

. . . you vill all share the SAME experience!!! (see Grumpity's comment closing the JIRA.) You world . . . OUR imagination?

I am pretending to be something that I am not.

Sheesh LLaz, I thought I fixed my sight when I finally had to cave in and got myself reading glasses (after some time thinking the whole internet got Depth of Field and blaming everyone and his dog to use fine prints on packages, let alone the fact lightbulbs are not what they used to be and: my arms got too short!!) and now I have these expensive specs and you start typing in kermit-the-evil-frog-green, making me think I need another pair of glasses?! It's not Kermit Green, it's Emerald Green. I am celebrating the other Welsh Patron Saint's Day.

The great showman Barnum found a way to make money trading on the ignorance of his audience, particularly the semi-literate, or just plain pretentious. Just inside the entrance to his fairground he would put up a large sign saying TO THE EGRESS!!! Many visitors, assuming it related to the exhibition of perhaps a missing link freak, perhaps an African-American female with no head (there's a crossword clue for you) followed in the direction of the sign and found themselves outside the fairground, which they would have to pay a second time if they wanted to re-enter.

All of these responses are a load of nonsense, Nigel, taking the mickey out of you, which is a result of posting your query to the General Discussions forum, which is populated by pranksters who delight in misleading noobs. If you want an accurate reply and explanation post your question in the Answers section, which is where your question should have been directed in the first place But please post more questions here if you want to be gently abused.

Sometimes reading GD can be like watching Dave

QUICK! Post again, Conifer - you are on the number of the beast!!!

And in the red corner, Amethyst, fighting for the Strict Fruit Islands Monitors . . . And in the blue corner it's Aethelwine, representing the Topless Intruders. Seconds out, round three.

Have you noticed any differences since you rezzed it? Did you used to be a BlackCoffee- strong and bitter? And now you are white and hot, yet sickly?

In the good old days, a load of people who frequented these forums got together and set up the Forum Cartel Group, which has a Hangout. I can't speak for the current owner/managers (Chris Norse is still officially the owner, but none of the original gang seem to participate in these forums any more) you might want to consider maybe contacting whoever is now running the Group (it's free to join, although you get the occasional $1L charge to pay for the Search registration) to see if you can add yourself to the roster; it might spice up the atmosphere and get some of the old farts out of their favourite armchairs.
