Any viewer I log onto, I can't log on AT ALL. Not really helpful to my situation, but thanks for putting your problem on my thread. I can't even get rid of my own issue with this. I'm just getting very irritated. This has been going on for nearly two days.

I did have a friend go to the place where I was last left off. She said she didn't see me logged on and I wasn't there. She also said the sim I last left off seem to be missing for a while. I think it's actually back now, but I still can't log on. It still says unable to connect to a simulator, despite the place being back up...or at least I think it is. I'm not sure what else it could be, though. It was working just fine the other day. I had logged out okay and then when I tried yesterday, it said I was unable to connect to a simulator. I tried logging into different grids and they worked fine, but all of my things are missing; my groups, friends, etc. I really want to get back onto the main SL grid, but again, it won't let me.

OMG...can someone else help me please? I mean I really need to solve this issue now.

Can't be because other avatars seem to log on fine on my computer, but when I use my own account, I keep getting the same message. So, it can't be anything wrong with the connection or ISP if others can log on fine on my computer. I mean, earlier today, everything seemed to be okay. I had my friend log onto her account to go to the area where I last left off and she said it was missing. A whole new name and everything. I don't know if my avatar was kicked out, but that doesn't make since. I mean shouldn't it have teleported me elsewhere? And when I log on here, it says my account is still active and everything. I never had any problems, so I don't understand what else could be going on. I really hope it will work soon, otherwise this is going to be a really big problem.

I don't know what I'm going to do now. I tried everything and the same message keeps poping up. I put so much money into this account. I can't believe this....

Tried it and still the same message pops up. I don't even know what's going on here. I logged in just fine earlier today. Everything seems okay with my account and all, but I still can't connect to anything.

I was wondering if something was wrong with the server, but my friend can log on just find and we live in the same apartment. I keep getting this error:" Login failed. Unable to connect to a simulator." I don't know if it's because where ever I was, apparently the sim must have vanished and now I don't know what to do or how in the world I'm going to get my avatar back. I tried even logging into different locations and still nothing.

I like my profile. I wouldn't change it. I don't think it's bad or anything.

I have read more through the comments and I just feel discouraged from ever using Second Life again. It seems that if I wanted to be myself in SL as I am in RL, then it's a negative thing among most residents. Sorry for making this thread.

I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. Sorry if I offended anyone. I'm really sorry. When I first meet someone, I talk to them like a normal person. I don't tell them anything unless they ask me, but when they do ask then it's usually a problem for them and they stop talking to me all together. I try my best to be honest with everyone because if not, then it'll usually bite me in the butt later. I don't mean to offend anyone with this statement, but I understand that the concept of SL is that you can be whoever you want to be and while that is great and all, I also understood that your avatar is also a virtual representation of the RL you. I designed my avatar many times to the point where it didn't really feel like who I was and then eventually I designed my avi to be just like who I am.

I am always being ignored in world because of my avatar it seems. I'm not going to change how I look in SL because my avatar is a carbon copy of my RL self. I want to represent the way I look and am in RL into SL. I try to spark conversations and such, but it seems that once people find out that I'm trans, they walk away. It sort of makes me feel bad even in RL. I didn't realize that after a year and six months of being on SL that it would be so difficult to make friends because of my avatar.

Months ago, all of SL's viewers seemed to work fine on my laptop. I don't have a very expensive or high end computer, but my connection is great and thus, SL was running smoothly. Yet, with all the sudden updates, everything has taken a sudden turn for the worse. First off, the LAG. Good lord. I can't even go on a barren sim without lagging misrably. My avatar could be completly nude and still, lag. Secondly, before when I turned on basic shaders and such, the 'wind light' would show beautifully. Now it doesn't show at all. I turned on transparent water, etc. and it still shows up as if I never turned on those settings at all. Not sure if it's a viewer issue considering it has worked wonderfully in the past. I was considering saving up to buy a new computer if nothing else, but I work part-time and my pay is low. I'm sure I could just use another viewer, but it might cause the same problems.
