[Are there contingencies in place?]

If you ever do wind up creating another SL-Like (or better) grid, take me with you lol. Someone mentioned Open Sim. Currently I am involved with a Gor sim that is similar to SL, with many different sims within the grid. It is hosted by firestorm and there is ability to hypergrid to different grid. I enjoy it, but it would be fabulous if there were other alternatives and the technology was upgrades as it is, essentially just like SL (grid is just not owned by LL). I would LOVE to see and SL in virtual reality!! I own the Meta Oculus 2 headset and have a lot of fun with it. I think that would bring a whole new level of excitement to SL. Do you think that this would be feasible?

Nope, not just you.  TPs, group chat, baking issues, marketplace.  I think we just have to ride it out until they get everything where it needs to be.

I admire your patience but this is going on 3 months now. SL has to make this a priority. Not having access to group limits functionality greatly. I'm getting almost no groups chats.

Hello,

suddenly my viewer stopped receiving group messages even though I didnt change anything in preferences. I also checked each group's window to see if the "Receive group instant messages" is unchecked.

Any ideas?

's fun this innit?  For two days now FS chat has been as dead as a doornail for me, was fine through the week, now nada.  Oh well, just got to wait this phase out.

I've had this for weeks!! Virutally none of my groups are getting through! Unacceptable! I pay premium for FULL service. This is extremely limiting. SL, fix it already! This is Month 3t hat this is going on for members.

I am still having this issue. Is group chats working for you yet? Not being able to receive to see ANY posts in group chat MOST TIMES has impacted on my SL life greatly. How can I chat in group and receive group info (besides group notifications) if I can't SEE any chat? Extremely frustrating. I don't pay premium to very limited functionality. From what I understand this is going into month 3 of this same issue. This is completely inacceptable.

This is a known current issue and was addressed by Oz Linden in a recent community post:

• Group Chat stalls
  Many users have reported that they are not able to get messages in some of their groups; we're very much aware of the problem. The start of those problems does coincide with when the chat service was uplifted; unfortunately the problems did not become clear until moving that service back to the datacenter was not an option. We haven’t been able to get that fixed as quickly as we would like, but the good news is that we have some changes nearly ready that we think may improve the service and will certainly provide us with better information to diagnose it if it isn't fixed. Those changes are live on the Beta grid now and should move to the main grid very soon.

Have you gotten this fixed? I can't see any of my groups most times and it's extremely frustrating as I am missing out on SL news and group info.

One of my friends in one of of my groups is having a similar problem.  She said it started 10 days ago.  We have tried both the Second Life Viewer as well as Firestorm, we have reinstalled both, it is happening on Multiple computers checked all the settings and nothing seems to work.  We had her create a Test Account and that account works fine.  So that is vexing.

It's happening to me too. I can't see most groups. Occassionally one will come through. SO utterly frustrating. Thought it might have something to do with using a VPN but I've been using it a while and nothing like this happened before.

I think I would submit a support case...both you and your friend.  This sounds like a problem with the account; perhaps LL can dig in and fix it.

I'm having the same problem. How do I submit a ticket? I have never done so before. Thank you!

Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me I have reinstalled SL and did a clean install.  Double and triple checked my blocked list and I have a group that I moderate that I can't see the chat of.  They see me talk, but I can't see them.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

Sneekybrat

 

I have the same exact problem except it is every group I cannot see. They can see my posts, but I can't see my own posts or theirs (have to ask them to IM me to see if they see posts! ). Firestorm Viewer group say it's been a problem since September 2020 it's still happening and it's now November1st. Anyone else having the same problem? It's so frustrating! I am so out of the loop in the groups!

Lisa, while you do have to agree to the Tilia TOS, you are correct: you do not need to provide any additional information unless you are cashing out. Buying and spending L$ requires no further information; it is essentially unchanged.

So, for the vast majority of residents, this will have virtually no visible impact.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Hi Lisa, This is exactly how my personal info was stolen but luckily for me not used. A "new-hire" admin clerk at my primary care doctor's office was caught making copies of patient's information. It was later discovered that she was giving these copies to her son, who was opening accounts,etc., with this information. This is why I will NEVER give my social security number to anyone (with the exception as someone said earlier the government who issued it in the first place).

I'm sorry that happened to you! I know how difficult it is to get things straightened out after that..it's a nightmare. This also happened at my health system. A unit clerk in a hospital made photocopies of patient registration sheets with SS#'s and shared them with someone else to steal identities. She was terminated and prosecuted. In the past I collected SS# on my data collection sheets but I protected them under lock & key. No one gets to them but me. After a couple of years all data is destroyed (we keep them for auditing purposes). I still have access to some SS#'s as Medicare has not changed all members #'s to scrambled numbers/letters but soon I won't have access to any which is all the better. While I'm truthworthy and ethical some are not.

If this is like most normal credit processing things, you'll need very little info given to pay money to LL and proper identification to get money from LL. 

So, if I want to buy Linden's, and use them in SL but NOT cash out my Linden's, (meaning convert my Linden's to $USD and transfer to my bank account), then I won't have to provide Tilia with my SS# (or other personal info like utility bills, drivers license, etc)?

[Tilia takes over]

Social Security numbers are NOT safe to share unless it's a mortgage company or other financial institution on the same level. I'm a healthcare professional & receive healthcare related Industry IT news via email and EVERY SINGLE DAY I receive news that one or another healthcare related organization has had data breaches affecting thousands of patients. If healthcare organizations can't keep patients personal data safe, how will Tilia do so? When I get in to work & check my email, I will copy the information of which company's data has been breached with numbers of patients affected so that you can verify how dangerous a practice this will be. I don't share my SS# with ANY Physician's office or hospital and this is actually advised by those in the security industry. Hospitals and Physician offices etc, don't need my SS# to verify my identity and neither does Tilia. I review patients medical records all day, every day as part of my job & my very large health system actually no longer documents patient's SS# in their medical record because of the potential for breach of patient's personal information. Medicare is currently in the process of changing individuals Medicare #'s from SS#'s to a series of scrambled letters & numbers in order to protect patient's SS# in the event of a data breach wherever the patient may seek healthcare. So when I abstract a patient's medical record for quality assurance reasons, I no longer have access to a patient's SS# and that is the way it should be and code "not available" and it's not an issue.  LL needs to seriously reconsider this aspect of their relationship with Tilia. There are other ways to verify identity besides using SS#'s and those methods should be used.  I'm extremely unhappy about this and so should the rest of the SL community.  @LindenLabs
