Kia Kiyori

As soon as she logs in, I'll ask her if it's ok to post the entire photo (it's not mine).

Thank you, Whirly - I'd deleted mine but took a snippet from my friend who shared the same shadow woes: https://gyazo.com/1717d8d6cd56b3c6edc51a8c33b7e26e

Not a fan of paying for lag; they may keep their exclusivity.

I've a sneaking suspicion I've seen this mentioned/grumbled about somewhere recently but can't find where. Basically, when in ultra settings (FS) and attempting to use WL shadows (y'know, sunsets/sunrises/sun angles, etc), they've become kind of ugly; the shadows, that is. What looks lovely through the camera lens, looks dawg-awful once saved. Even fiddling with the Light tab in Phototools appears to have absolutely no effect whatsoever. What's with that? I know the usual is to 'go to FS > About and post your details here', and/or blanket blame the machine/internet/Trump, but that doesn't account for a friend who lives in Sweden and has the best of everything at her disposal (including her machine); we're both experiencing the same issues and we both need to take vendor pics, which seems to be proving increasingly difficult to do well. My workaround (if it can be called that) is to use a dark wl and a projector but I can't do that for every pic and neither can my friend. Has something changed that we perhaps aren't aware of - or is there perhaps a strange new setting somewhere that we're missing?

Oops sorry Alwin, didn't see your reply - thank you. No, hadn't hit the expand button but it's irrelevant now since whatever was causing it, ceased.

Goodness no - more like a few months or so, give or take.

I'd very very surprised if FS viewer is causing lag issues; if anything, SL itself has been an 'issue' on it's own without any help from viewers, given that so many of my SL friends - covering a range of viewers - are having the same complaints.

Quite right. Trying to give it up (heights, that is). Filthy habit haha

I've seen that on mine, too, occasionally, but they don't seem to remain. No idea what causes it but they're not on my body now.

Very late reply, sorry - but hopefully it helps someone else; if you're using FS viewer and you deselect/untick 'Atmospheric Shaders' (not 'basic shaders', just atmospheric) in Preferences > Graphics, then it cuts that blinding brightness right out. Of course, the next time you use ultra settings for photography, it'll select itself again and you'll have to deselect when you're finished, but at least there's more than one way around it.

While standing here wondering why I was becoming irritating with having to close a gazillion folders in my inventory, it suddenly dawned upon me that I shouldn't be having to close a gazillion folders. This is what happens when you park your brain in neutral; it takes a while to notice that nargles are monkeying around again and the joke's on you. I know exactly how Luna felt. It's every single folder. And I mean Every. Single. Folder. That could get real old real fast if you've got 200k items in there (I don't). I know relevant folders will open in unison when you search for an item - well duh - but these aren't relevant folders and I wasn't searching for anything; I'd been flitting about the place grabbing LM's and then stood still for 5 minutes to start packaging when I noticed I wasn't getting anywhere rather quickly - because all my time was being eaten up closing folders. That's when my brain woke up and spluttered into 1st gear, but that's as far as it got. Really don't want to do another thing and have to spend the rest of the day closing folders. Would just like to know the cause and how to stop it. Anyone know? Well ofc not - weird stuff like this only ever happens to me. Just ask Whirly - who's probably seen my name attached to this thread had a sudden urge to take a very long vacation...

As my grandmother would say, "People just get too big for their britches!"

Someone mentioned Platinum; I like that better than 'Elite' - not that I get all ***** about words, but there's something about 'elite' that kinda gets up your left nostril a bit, y'know? It's a bit like boasting to total strangers how good you are and they're not. Meh. I guess that's just the typical way of the world now really, isn't it? Flaunt, taunt and put down. Le sigh.

Or someone with the nous could run with existing code and angle it towards VR functionality.

Trying to get into Kustom9

Ok thank you - that's good to know - but with the workload the FS team (which probably mostly consists of Whirly, Whirly and Whirly) already have, wouldn't that be pushing the limits of human endurance a wee bit? If FS is open source, then surely someone else - if they're that keen - could build one just for VR groupies perhaps?

Death is for wimps; SL isn't going anywhere. Because I said so.

VR just doesn't blow my skirt up. Personally speaking, I can't imagine a less enjoyable way to be in SL - nausea and puking while wearing a ten tonne monstrosity on my head... but y'know, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks and all that . In any event, I like my FS just as it is tyvm - so please don't give Whirly any ideas!

Ohh I see - not sure, since I'd never tried it/probably wasn't around then, but I've taken 3 snap shots of the HUD tabs - do they look the same?: https://gyazo.com/807b2121c1a314de8e407f068ba63c07 https://gyazo.com/9327f35d33f0d02036c0d7195016c0bc https://gyazo.com/cf923004011154976031b308af144900

Not sure I understand what you mean, Marianne? You can still wear your Maitreya-only clothes on the Legacy body - you just 'add' whichever (or more) of the three Legacy deformers you need, depending on what clothes you're wearing.

Ok...deep breath...two things first: 1. Don't panic 2. Try waiting a few minutes - could be lag; if still nothing, try relogging. Let us know how you go with that first.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Yes...exactly (kind of almost nearly) what I said...Gremlins!

Sorry! Didn't see this at the time. No, Amara Beauty body appliers have always been free and they're available at her inworld store in fatpacks. PUMEC generally includes their body applier in the same pack as the skin you purchase and they now have Legacy body appliers at their inworld store as well. Neither require you to be a group member to have them.

Big hugs congrats! You'll never look back
