  1. Its being pointed out and Ive given my response in no uncertain terms but enough people saw the thread...
  2. Oh dear looks like Lindens dont like being held responsible my other thread was removed......lol
  3. My bandwidth stayed unlinchingly at 1-2 gbs for years....and even if I had checked what are you supposed to do then mrs smaughtharse? Reduce your time in sl to nothing...sorry sweetheart but I dont pay a tier and membership to stay out of a place especially when the people running it made the mistake in the firstplace ...now go and get some common sense... the only reason Im debating this continually with you is because every time it bumps the thread and warns those who might not even know theres a problem .....which is what I wanted to do.... rather than getting lumbered with some senseless argumentative person who seems to be posting under more than one name to undermine something determined to act to warn other users.
  4. So like I said before and which you are avoiding whats your advice to people on limited gb usage ??? Are you going to tell them not to come to sl ?? What about tiers and membership fees whose responsible for those if people have to stay out of sl so as to avoid large payments to their ISPs as in my case...come on whats your advice instead of just trying to be smart .....
  5. TICEE WHY ARE YOU INSISTENT ON COUNTERING ANYONE WHO CRITICISES LINDENS OVER THIS ISSUE ON EVERY THREAD ??WHAT EXACTLY WOULD YOUR ADVICE TO SL USERS ON LIMITED GB USAGE BE ????? EVEN THOUGH LINDENS HAVE ADMITTED THE BUG IS THEIR FAULT ??
  6. Ive been in sl 5 years and never exceeded my usage which until recently has been 1-2 gb a day ....last week it rocketed to 10 gb a day.... even sl have admitted its a fault... why does it take so much to prove some things to some people....??
  7. Anyone else think that all users should have had a warning email about this from Linden labs- at the very least telling them that if theyre on limited bandwidth usage to check their usage ? Especially as Lindens ( has as happened in my case) are going to use TOS to avoid paying any form of recompense .....
  8. Try being an insect instead..... you wont be alone - plenty of 'bugs' in sl
  9. Whats the point of ultra graphics when linden labs are currently advising everyone who wants to save their gb usage to reduce their viewing distance to 32 km ( half the size of the largest 'legally' avaialble prim )
  10. Good try but Im using firefox - with IE i couldnt access the help pages at all.... Ive replied to TJ Lindens useless email via the email addy address but something tells me its not going to get me very far either.... already planning a move to another virtual world and trying out other online games. Ive got a backlog of unused pc games that I put to one side and never tried 5 years ago when I discovered sl anyway.... Think Im going to find something a lot cheaper with less imcompetence and greed behind it.
  11. And to think after 5 years custom I wasn't making a vast demand either only a 50% reduction in my tier for the half month when Lindens mistakes have made the service inaccessible to me....utter crap.... no concept of customer care or satisfaction exists in Linden labs at all. Greedy money grasping business at its finest....
  12. Maybe but Lindens arent just restricting their business to the USA and theyre obliged to follow the laws of those lands where they sell....as for US users if youre prepared to pay up for a company who won't refund or recompense you for loss of money...or charging you too much for - lets face it a SHABBY SECOND RATE SCREWED UP service good luck to you. Five years Ive been in sl most of it a regular paid up land owning customer.... well that nameless faceless supervisor that TJ Linden is hiding behind has cost Linden labs my business...Not to mention those technical jerks who should have shut off the pathfinder feature as soon as it was seen to be inconveniencing sl users....
  13. I cant load tickets to respond to them....Anyone else having this issue or have mine been 'blocked' somehow by lindens ?
  14. I think anyone considering membership of sl really has to think hard about those terms of service because it means if you are denied access to sl or have to stay out of sl as I have lindens arent going to recompense you...which is quite a loss if youre paying even a middling tier. I dont know if this sort of 'shirking of responsibilities' is allowed in the US but Im certainly going to have a long conversation with our relevant trading standards people here and we know from the v.a.t fiasco a few years back that if lindens operate in areas outside the USA theyre certainly bound by overseas rulings ....
  15. My bandwidth usage soared my ISP immediately pinned down the problem to some sort of update in sl.... I'd ignored mention of pathfinding and lo and behold theres the cause.... My usage jumped from 1- 2 gbs a day to 10 !!!! Without SL (I dont want to pay my ISP any more which is what I'll have to do if I exceed my allotted 60 GBs) over the past few days my gb usage has dropped to 512 mbs a day !! Therefore I have no choice but to stay out of sl until at least my next months billing period starts in september. This means Im paying my tier fo only halfs a month use. Lindens arent doing anything though they believe their terms of service means they arent obliged to provide us with a regular service.. Presumably being kept out of sl for half a month is acceptable to them. Oh well tomorrow I contact English trading standards authorities and see if Lindens can shirk their responsibilities to their customers when they screw things up BIG TIME. You'd have thought reducing my tier by 50% was a small price to pay for my continued good custom but I think Lindens have EPIC FAIL written all over them when it comes to customer service ! Now Im looking to sell my land and cut my premium membership.... Ive sent my responses to TJ Lindens useless email via the email I got...needless to say the ticket system wasnt working either when I tried earlier !!
  16. I bet these gamer bods are going to love coming to sl as is and seeing their gigas gobbled by pathfinding.... As Im looking to civ 5 on steam as an alternative to a rapidly declining sl I dont want nasty mega munching features being spread there thanks....
  17. I wondered who linden labs were getting ready to sell too......
  18. STILL UNABLE TO USE SL - THE MEGS PILE ON SECOND AFTER SECOND TO AN EXTENT WHERE I CANT STOP IN SL FOR FEAR OF RISKING MY OTHER INTERNET USAGE.... IN VIEW OF THE FACT I CAN NOT EVEN CONSIDER ENTERING SL WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF INCURRING CHARGES FOR EXTRA USAGE BY MY ISP I HAVE SUBMITTED A TICKET REQUESTING A 50 % REDUCTION IN THIS MONTHS TIER PAYMENT...I SUGGEST ANYONE SIMILARLY AFFECTED NOW DO THE SAME.
  19. Well I tpd from one region that was affected to one where pathfinding has been shut off and the drop was immediately registered on my usage meter.... But I suggest everyone try it for themselves download a usage meter and go to a region on mainland watch the usage rocket then try a region where its turned off SHADY was the region I went to and I didnt turn south east south west or any other compass alignment.. I walked across SHADY as soon as tp'ing in and the difference was immediate... but dont take my word for it...try it for yourselves... TURN PATH FINDING OFF NOW... :smileymad:
  20. Still of out sl ...bumped to get an important matter ahead of the other 'stuff' on this forum....
  21. Oh and if you dont like my post oskar tough...I dont like my bandwidth usage being smashed to hell and faced with paying my ISP for extra bandwidth...
  22. Oskar Linden is clearly the kind of guy who wont admit a massive error has been made and that users are being inconvenienced BIGTIME... EXTRACT A DIGIT OSKAR AND GET THIS USELESS FEATURE TURNED OFF I WONT BE WAITING ROUND FOREVER FOR THIS ONE TO BE FIXED...Not like I have with numerous ludicrous boundary crashes for the last 5 years....
  23. Lindens are obviously in a panic about this I contacted live help a couple of nights ago and asked for pathfinding to be turned off in the regions where I own land...quite remarkably I was offered an island without paying the 1000 dollar set up fee...wish I could afford the monthly fee for an island .... It was also suggested I use the sl viewer instead of firestorm ...didnt make any difference and to set the viewer distance to 32...odd it only seems to go down to 64 on my version... but then again if Im building with a 64 m prim I at least want to be able to see the other side of it to build with in... In any event I cant get into sl while this fiasco goes on...not without paying my ISP a very large amount for going over my gb allowance. Of course even though I can only use sl for a limited amount of time Im sure oskar linden wont be recommending refunds on both tiers AND premium payments....
  24. IT DOES HAVE AN EFFECT BELIEVE ME ...IVE COMPARED READINGS IN REGIONS WHERE PATHFINDING IS ON AND OFF...AND THE DIFFERENCE IS CONSIDERABLE. WHY DONT YOU TRY DOWNLOADING A USAGE METER AND TEST IT YOURSELF.. MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR BLOCK CAPS. I CANT GET INTO SL BUT IM STILL PAYING MY TIER AND PREMIUM ACCOUNT AND BASICALLY IM FURIOUS.
