Odaks

I have, and with surprisingly good results. The same circumstances required the attempt; a lengthy power cut. I didn't make any attempt to measure or record connection speeds but SL ran very well, with no change of settings in my viewer (FS). This was using my mobile phone (cell phone) as a hotspot and utilising the UK's 4G data facility.

My guess is that it is something to do with money laundering. Keep things below $2000 and nobody looks very hard. Go higher and the money police start to show an unhealthy interest (and I don't mean 0.25% !). In the UK, pretty well any largish sum of money that you try to pay into or out of your personal bank a/c will attract a bit of grilling; "What do you need the money for?" or "Where did the money come from?" I don't know what the trigger points are for this, but I've been asked questions like this when drawing out cash for not huge sums.

I do exactly the same thing. Nothing has changed following Brexit.

Reacting to the touch of sarcasm tempted me to add a laugh! I didn't though; I think it's great that LL are working to bring SL into the 2020's and recognise that that will be a major challenge. Your efforts to help are also greatly appreciated - good luck! Likedwise to the other contributers to the problems, of course.

Having a group of olbies who have "been there, done it and got the t-shirt", and who are prepared to spend time and effort to impart that knowlrdge to others, is invaluable. You have been a leading figure in this group and I have benefited greatly from you. Thank you! Health is important, though, and must be given priority. Best wishes for getting that sorted and for a happy "retirement" (please don't cut the connection completely; we'll be more than pleased to see you pop back in sometime, even if just to say hello!) Good luck!

I wonder if people have missed this fairly recent post regarding the Speedlight 6-hour log-in limit being lifted:-

Hi! It would be of great help to us if you would post some important information about your system and its connection to SL Go to your viewer's top bar menus; Help - > About Firetorm and use copy/paste to post that entire page into here. (There's a convienient button at the bottom of the About Firestorm page to make the Copy bit easy). That information will reveal where you are when you use that. You could edit that out, if you would prefer to keep that private, alternatively go to somewhere else pretty harmless first! Getting this information while you are logged in gives us the best results.

Hi @Leo1452, There's a great bunch of regular forum members with a lot of "been there, done it, got the t-shirt" experience that will cheerfully pop up with some ideas, I'm sure. Be patient; many will be in bed right now! A bit more information will be needed though. Get this from your viewer's top bar menu; Help - About Firestorm and copy/paste all of that page into a posting here. If you can get this information while you're logged in, all the better (it will also give some info about the quality of your connection). In the meanwhile, there is a suggestion that Windows Defender is running as a default. Have you checked that everything is properly whitelisted, if so? Firestorm gives super advice about this - https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/antivirus_whitelisting . Checking that all is propely covered with this is never a bad place to start! You're right; integrated graphics aren't the best for SL but that alone shouldn't be the cause of the sort of problem you're describing.

Yes, 10 it was.

Definitely! That is using Firestorm 6.6.8.68380. Maybe Firestorm has not yet caught up with the very latest wizardry?

I couldn't make any sense of the different owners either. It couldn't possibly be be linked, could it? But it was! Many thanks to to everyone who had seen this before. It's good to see that there is some sort of explanation to account for it.

Your first photo shows your car in edit mode, highlighted. I note that the mystery grey prim does not appear to be highlighted, which suggests that it is NOT linked to your car. If this is the case, the mystery grey prim has probably "landed" there as a result of an accidental loss of control while moving it around elsewhere. The owner of that prim, having lost sight sight of it, may have assumed it was lost forever and just given up looking for it. Just try moving your car using the edit "move"controls. You should find that the grey prim will stay where it is. If you have control of the ground where the prim is, you should be able to just Return it. The third photo seems to indicate that they grey prim is a linked part, however. That, indeed, is a mystery! Maybe someone else has an answer if so. It beats me, I'm afraid. PS Looking more closely at the first photo, perhaps the grey prim is highlighted, along with the car. It shows very faintly on my laptop display - so faintly that I missed it at first.

Quite often, the reason RLV doesn't turn on is simply that you forgot to press OK, at the bottom, after re-checking the RLV/RLVa box. The new setting will not take until you do that, and then relog. This is in Firestorm; I guess other viewers that offer RLV/RLVa will be similar.

This often happens when things are not quite right at your end. Assuming the status page was not flagging up anything wrong, firstly reboot both your computer and your router, then try logging in again. Next, try logging into a different region. Linden water regions are a good choice. Try something like HATTON. If this doesn't work, let us see your system details by going to your viewer's top bar menus HELP -> ABOUT [viewername] and copy/past all of that page into a post here. If you need to, you can delete anything you consider to be confidential before posting. These details may or may not help, but it can often reveal some usual suspects, and we will get to know which viewer (and version) you are using. P.S. If you aren't logged in, there will not be anything "confidential" shown. It is really only your location, that will be shown when logged in. that you might not want to be known.

It is often likely to be just a temporary hiccup with the data exchange. Firstly, simply try logging in to a different region, and see if that works. A nice, quiet region is best - somewhere like Hatton, a Linden water region. If that doesn't work, come back to us with all your details from your viewer's top bar menu - Help -> About [viewername], copied/pasted into a post here. We might well be able to help further when we know what we're dealing with! Good luck!
