[Blacklisted (permanent) items keep clearing]

Blacklisted items are not stored in the viewer cache.
Clearing cache has no effect on your blacklist.

 

Blacklisted items are stored in a file named asset_blacklist.xml located in the viewer settings folder.
Presuming you are on Windows, the exact location of the file is: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Firestorm_x64\AvatarFirstname_Lastname
Note if you're using the 32bit version of Firestorm, the Firestorm folder is named Firestorm, not Firestorm_x64.

You can open asset_blacklist.xml in a text editor.

Can I back those up and then add them back when updating the latest version?  I'm lost on how to do that  
I do a clean install and I end up losing it.  I only end up saving my chat logs because I went with the older video that talks waaaayy too fast (you need to slow down the speed of the video to watch.  It gives me anxiety just listening to her)  I can't include it, it takes up too much space on this post.

It's so weird how these little things can cause anxiety.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Now I see that all the items that I blacklisted (permanently) are back." Back where? And what kind of blacklisting are you doing?

Why are you clearing your cache? The wiki link you provided goes to a page that says basically don't clear cache.

That items are gray for 5 to 10 minutes is likely because you are clearing the cache. Don't. I think the wiki page is very clear one should ONLY clear cache if there is a known texture or object file problem. Do you think you are having such problems?

Cache files rarely corrupt. The textures and objects transfer via the error correcting HTTProtocol. So, viewer crashes are the more common cause of corrupted files and the viewer has to crash as the file is being written. A rare thing. I suppose, you could have a bad enough connection the viewer was having a hard time assembling the files from error correction data. But, I think that way unlikely and file corruption would be a small problem compared to what you would be experiencing in lag and disconnects.

The lets be sure we are talking about viewer and browser caches as seperate things. The wiki page you pointed to is about the viewer caches. Browser caches are a term we use to refer to Internet browser caches. These are unrelated and separate things. Clearing one or the other has no effect on the other.

Windows 10 has its own caches and those are hard to get to and best left alone. They are separate from viewer and browser caches.

If you visit the SL websites, like this forum, your browser will have history and cached pages from the sites.

With CCleaner you can totally destroy a computer. As of Windows 10 all the stuff one does with CC is built into Windows. Such programs are made for people that do some word processing, email, and Internet browsing. Once one moves to more sophisticated use of their computer CC is likely to be more of a detiment than a help. 

The items "objects" that were blacklisted, are now back.  They are no longer blacklisted.  It was permanent, but that list cleared.  I know it was set to permanent.  I have done temporary blacklisting and I fully understand that if you leave a region then come back, that the items on the temp list have returned and you can see them.

I clear the viewer cache because it always takes long to load, even if I've been to that area for weeks.  Sometimes it loads faster after clearing the viewer cache, but in the end it takes too long.  Maybe I just need a better graphics card and not just the one that came with my PC.  That or, it really is something with the viewer cache(?) It doesn't seem to matter which region I'm in either.
At worst, it takes about 15 minutes for most things to appear, even with the draw-distance down to 30.  I've experimented a few times and having the DD (draw distance )either up or down does not seem to make a difference.

CCleaner has always worked for me (I use it about once a week or once a month), this is the first time I'm reading that it can destroy things on the PC.... oh.  Well, darn it.  OK I uninstalled it  that might have been the issue.  I won't know for certain until later.

[Blacklisted (permanent) items keep clearing]

When I go to clear my cache location, I just click on "clear cache"

Now I see that all the items that I blacklisted (permanently) are back.

I was reading this wiki page and I understand most of it.  It's nice to know that I can delete things separately rather than just click on that "clear cache" once.  I just randomly added 3 things to the permanent blacklist and I'm trying to figure out which files those are, so that I know next time which type of files the blacklisted ones are.  I want to avoid clearing my permanent blacklisted items.

So when I open the location, I know that I can just remove the textures file (sometimes things on the land are gray for about 5-10 minutes, even with the draw distance down.  Aside from that, it runs good.

Does deleting my browser history (not on SL, just regular internet browsers) and/or using CCleaner effect this?  I looked into them and I don't see anything specifically for firestorm (or SL in general)

I have Windows 10, I look for updates often.  I use Google Chrome.  I have a basic graphics card (it gets the job done, I'll probably buy a nice one soon)

Thank you so much!

[Art theft and how to handle it?]

In-world I have noticed a lot of art that was either plagiarized or just being used without giving credit to the original artist.

I'm pretty certain it's best to contact the artist but, is there a link I could give to them?  As in who to contact.  Is there anything else that needs to be done or can be done?

[Adorkable female looking for friends]

That's awesome!  OK, I'll hit you up on SL and leave a NC  

[Adorkable female looking for friends]

Looking to make a new friend, preferably female in the US central time zone.  Age is not an issue.

About me;

I'm a Christian, just not a very good one or "Bible-thumper" and I'm not the type to push God onto anyone, that is for other people to make that decision.  I support the LGBT community.  I'm very skeptical about politics.

My interests are drawing, music, anime, sim-hopping, shopping (mostly window shopping), clubs.  I'm open to trying RP, just not; Gor, Bloodlines, medieval, pirates, star trek, star wars.  I don't dislike them, I'm just not that interested in RP them.

Fastest way to get my attention is to just send me a NC on SL to get ahold of me, I don't check the forums as often.

*edit*

I'm happily taken, please no replies about seeking a partner or any sex.
