[Is SL having a problem? Nothing is loading, even friends and landmarks]

As I log into SL (I'm using Firestorm 4.7.3), it is saying "Requesting Region Capabilities..." then it says "Attempt 2" "Attempt 3".  It will stay there for several seconds, before moving on.  Then, when the world loads up, my avitar is smoke!  I wait for 3 minutes, but it never changes.  So, I tried to IM some of my friends, but, while the list is there, there are no names, just parenthesese.  I tried to teleport, but it is only saying "serching" when I call up my landmarks.  I know it's not my connecxtion, because I'm online now, every web page comes up VERY quickly, and i have a 92mbs connection... I just clocked it.  So, is SL having any issues?

[How do I change my avatar, on a galaxy tab s 10.3, to one I purchased?]

Thanks, I think I've got it. BTW, since tablets don't have a r-click feature, you have to press the LITTLE settings icon at the bottom of the window (once you've selected the feature you want to affect). Other than that, everything seems to be spot-on. Again, Thank You!

[How do I change my avatar, on a galaxy tab s 10.3, to one I purchased?]

I recently signed up for SL, selected an avatar, and purchased a complete Avatar. I went to change over to the new Avatar, and nothing happened. I'm still in the Avatar I first chose! Everyone says they know how to change it on the computer, but no one seems to know how to change it on a tablet. Do I NEED to do it on a computer, can it even be done on a tablet, or do I need to wait for the 7 day trial to expire and do it when I'm a paying subscriber?
