this happens because when you start an avatar and try visit an Adult resource that causes a failure since you dont have the A checked yet in the preferences. Then in the web resources it stores your current credentials GM and not A, however later if you set in preferences G M A as desired. It will not upgrade the web credentials for that account. So market place and websearch which unfortunately the search function in the viewer uses. Will barf when you try acces A material. There is no recourse. The only work around i found is to do this. 1. create a new avatar 2. DO NOT visit the web stuff in this process. Proceed to login with the viewer as quick as possible. 3. right immediatly after you login go to preferences and set G M A as accesible. Save it and logout 4. login again and verify that the G M A in preferences stick. 5. Now when you login to say the market place you will still see GMx since you never been there yet. But you can now checkmark the little x in front of A for the material. Log out and in again to verify that the changes stick. If your avatar been compromised by this schizophreny where the viewer and the web credentials are out of step your only recourse as i found is make another avatar and make sure it has GMA before you login to any web views like account pages or marketplace This if an avatar gets screwed up doesnt only affect the searching it affects also the following a. someone gives you an Adult rated item. The item is silently discarded since your not allowed use it b. someone send you an item from marketplace as gift and its A, you wont get it it wont be received. c. any persons profile that has been marked A you cant see So if this has happend to you either ask Linden to fix their stuff with a support ticket and good luck to that one OR make a new avatar and do it right this time, set GMA before you go try see some A stuff the first time.
