Had the same problem with the last 2 updates, gone back to the oldest working version and everything is fine.

The last couple of FS updates have been more trouble than they're worth. Huds suddenly stopping working and large chunks of inventor going missing.

Anything art related your best option is to join the focus group and visit their inworld site. FOCUS Art Gallery and Magazine www.artfocused.com, Holly Kai Estates (125, 125, 21) - Moderate

Yes it did which is why I responded in kind (but forgot the smiley). The character in the quote you responded to is so old it's unlikely anyone either side of the pond under pension age would recognise him. (I had to look him up on wikipedia)

Did it never occur to you that you may be on the wrong side of the pond?

Then don't go there. Flickr and SL content are very much personal things, people put what they want to see. I do lots of selfies cos when I need a model my avi is there with the apropriate costume (or lack of) , and SL photography is something you learn by doing. I don't care if you find it boring, I don't come to SL or post on flickr to amuse you. clairea21 asked for positive tips to improve her photos, not a list of your personal likes and dislikes.

I'm shocked! People still use google?

Focus magazine is running a series of inworld classes to help photographers improve their skills http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Holly Kai Estates/136/123/22

I don't let zukerberg and his spyware anywhere near my RL, certainly not going to let the creep invade my virtual life

Quite right! I'm one of those annoying people that reads T&C and tos before I sign anything , either physicaly or electronicaly. I may not be able to quote it word for word, but I'm sure there was no mention of smartphones when I signed up, nor any mention of having to buy extra equipment to use the basic service. Of course people should exercise some care to protect themselves online. I've been using computers long enough and taken courses to know how to keep myself secure (probably more than most). One thing I've noticed reading tech journals, is as soon as something becomes industry standard the crackers start targetting it. My knowledge of smartphone tech is limited, but I'm not convinced they are as secure as my PC. Just came across this article and it doesn't make me want to trust them. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-58652249

Looking at your responses to other posts I think I've been in there for quite a while

And just who gave "industry" the right to control how we do things? I don't recall seeing Industry on any ballot papers. I'm pretty sure Tim Berners-Lee didn't have the profits of mobile phone companies in mind when he created the web. The way forward is not compliance with what industry wants, we've seen what sort of idiots we end up with in politics going down that road, the way forward is revolution, Greta Thunberg showed us that.
