My main suggestion for the Lab to fix FB in it's products is, "grep for all FB integration and purge it completely".

Mmm, I was thinking US$20. The higher fee might suggest that there is a slice of manual work involved rather then being automated. It's getting towards what we pay to move/rename regions.

Me too. Sims are: Which of course is trademarked, so the Lab likely were "asked gently" to "plz stop using our IP as a term in your documentation kthnzbai".

Some of the little plastic balls in the ball pit got hidden by the darned cardinals!

Because, the story goes, some 16 years ago Phil Linden made the descision to store last names in the user table of the database as a number, with that number used as a lookup key into a seperated surname table. So you are not really stored as Madison531.Resident, you are stored as Madison531.1023 or similar. There is another table, so the story goes, that converts 1023 into the word Resident. True or not, I am not sure. But it matches the restriction we now see.

Would you trust your front door key to a lump of putty? The fault is the viewers for chosing a poor encryption key to store the list of account names.

It is a good thing, although the message is vague, so there will be a lot of angst in the coming years on the forums "Why can't I buy xyz from a merchant i abused!!!!!!11!!!!!!eleven!!!!!!!!!"

I recall quite clearly, a video of one unnamed TPV dev with a heart bumper showing off the feature before it hit. When she was bumped the hearts would animate in the same fashion. I think that this exact video sparked the animated titlers. This TPV dev's was of course well written, unoffensive, and not so lag inducing as it was limited to only firing when she was bumped, but it was the spark, I think. I don't think it was unexpected, I wrote one myself from the idea in that video. Then I saw the lag when i ran it and binned it.

All of this and... The Lab can (and have) change the rules without warning. These rule changes have the possibility to hurt or wipe out your "investment".

It's like Déjà vu all over again! OP... any one of a hundred other threads on this, some even on the same page!

A bit after Last Names?

I am a long time proud owner of this bratwurst! Honestly, the outragerati are getting incredibly prudish as the years tick by. But the thing is the Lindens give in too easily to this sort of stupid crap and enable the prudes. That is bad for all of us. I also won't be surprised if these white knights force supermarkets to stop stocking chickens... because of the word for the male of that species.

Yes. They can ban you for not standing on your front paws and whistling the CCCP national anthem.

Lawless, pfft. Look, Pamela is completely correct. Region owners pay money to the Lab to create their spaces. In return for that large cash outlay they can decide who is allowed access to their space, and under what terms. They can kick you because they hate the way your tail curls or becuase you don't add -sama onto their names while standing on your front paws and whistling the old CCCP anthem as they demand. If you really want to create even more drama you can talk to the region owner, but sheesh, I hate that when people do this to me and all they want to do is tstir up trouble and ruin my day's fun. Taking Pamela's correct words further - if you were invited into your neighbors house and started dancing on their coffee table, you really should expect to be kicked out.

As it's an affiliate vendor, I think you should send a message to the Lab and unreport it so that person doesn't get into trouble from your mistake. You should also remove your name and shame, that's against forum rules and can see your account sanctioned.

So soon instead of soon(tm)? I hope so, but like Last Names and grid wide experiences... I think Oz set the delivery dates.

It's caused as the password store is using a volatile key based on details of the network adapter to encrypt it. Every single time that the a major windows 10 upgrade is done, the key chosen by the Lab back in the old XP days is likely to change and the record of all avatars/alts is wiped clean. Most people with only one avatar likely don't remember it each windows upgrade, they just re-enter and keep going. It's annoying, and over the last few years I have forgotten the names of a few very rarely used avatars from this. That key is no longer appropriate to use. It's an ancient viewer architecture choice that really needs to be reconsidered. Seems you missed my idea, I guess I didn't explain clearly, let me try again please! Between windows updates (For 6 months of the year) things work just as now. But you also have one secondary master store that is kept secured by a master hand typed password. If the Windows update kills the standard store, that master store can be decrypted and loads into the old style store as we know it now. So, when MS update Windows each 6 months and the hardware key is lost like it is now, instead of the "lost credential" message you are asked for a master password, that second store is decoded and populates the hardware store as it is now with all lost avatars and passwords. As it stands now.. if that hardware key is lost (every 6 months) all your alts go missing without any backup but paper and pen. Additional advantage: You can move the master store to a new PC, type in the password and all your alts and passwords are loaded.

Sorry Lindal, it *is* the fault of the viewer. The viewer is written to encrypt the credentials with a transient configuration. People being people, the viewer really should store all it's credentials locked away under a master password. If the transient-keyed decryption fails, rather then saying "well dayum, you're SOL" ask what the master password is, and unlock all avatars and alts again. While this transient credentials thing might have been ok back in the days of Windows XP, it's really showing up it's limitations with later operating systems, like Windows 10 - which now goes through a regular 6-12 month major update cycle. This problem won't go away, the key chosen to encrypt the credentials is no longer stable. Sure, it's not an issue to people with one avatar, they can shrug, retype their password and be on their way - this isn't the case for everyone.

Hmm, not sure on your numbers Skell. 50% bad static poses 20% recycled tattoos 1% hair (modulus most likely) 10% "boner wear" (riot, noche, cubura and the like and only for 1 body) 10% tracksuits 5% genderless jeans (why they are always genderless beats me) 4% skyboxes/photo backgrounds/furniture.

Sugarbaby tantrums! Almost as much drama as furries.

Can't help it Tari Western Australia has a real weird car related law most people in the state don't know. It’s illegal to have more than 50kg ( 110lb ) of potatoes in your vehicle in Western Australia Thanks to a weird 1946 law Western Australia’s powerful spud regular, the Potato Marketing Corporation, still has the power to stop and search any vehicle suspected of carrying more than 50kg of potatoes.

Thanks Whirly I guess the original suggestion could carry some of the problems of this old list. At the viewer level they are trivial to alter or misreport so it needs to be done at the server level, and that requires people be honest with their use of the scripted agent flag. I run around with it on so I don't mess up people's traffic with my own dwell... so bah, I would be marked as a bot.

Your terms, as I see them are: The last statement doesn't bother me as much as the messy double list of what I can and can't do. Have you thought of simplifying the first section a little? I don't think the threats are needed. People buying full-perm will know artists use DMCA/ARs

This is funnier:

Extra bytes on the map/minimap=lag. But, you are a dev, no? Wasn't there was a time when the TPVs could show the ClientID. Is that still available?
