  1. Happened to me for many months, and frankly I just didn't have the time to invest in digging into one more thing. So I just started right-click-copy the SLURL under the Visit this Location button and then pasted it into the viewer go bar. After three months or so of doing that suddenly it worked again.
  2. *snickerin* I've been lucky on teleporting, cutting out only twice in 10 years and both in the very distant past. I have a consistent login issue though. Given the number of unique users, it has to be a nightmare number of unique pc and network situations, where any one or several (or no) breaks could be triggered.
  3. Interesting, ty! So I initially read that as that some users accidentally, or incidentally somewhat reverse engineer the complexity formula numbers to, produce clothing/body items etc. one sells that then show a lower number in Complexity superficially (without really reducing the actual "complexity" of those items). With all the "changes" in progress it certainly seems a good investment of time to discuss developing that formula. Just takin up space on my monitors otherwise. And on the BOM or applier thing, I was smirking at first but very quickly learned I had never had it so good. So now a huge BOM fan. What does disappoint me about BOM items (not BOM, but BOM items), is that, specific to bodies, we are still in the period where a single seller may have free bodies being in a different BOM category than their demo and/or full-price bodies are. And also that "BOM" body is used in advertising to describe both full-BOM and partial-BOM bodies. Full- and partial-BOM bodies are substantially different where one flat-out yes uses alpha files no-biggie, and the other does not. It isn't bad advertising per se, but is just vague enough to be accurate but irksome to users after attempting to set it up. I've worked with a multitude of users across several great bodies and heads, both new and longtime avis, where just to find out exactly which BOM category "this" body they are wearing is (FULL-PARTIAL-NO BOM) has been neither quick nor easy. Sellers have been wonderful at responding, but by the time someone like me tries to help users they are generally already days into frustration and ready to bolt or totally over it, etc... I don't run the world; I wouldn't apply for that job EV-rrr. But in terms of bodies it seems it would help a good deal if all could settle on three exact terms/definitions that everyone agrees on to describe and define (full, or partial, or no) BOM bodies, and agree to use that term clearly in body advertising. I mean, clearly, I suppose would help if it were in a body name or ad-picture, and not requiring locating, and reading, a lengthy notecard(s) in a folder. I cannot imagine there would be any sales "lost" in doing so, and I suspect there might even be a few extra sales made off of lean-and-mean set-ups of free and demo bodies. Happy, safe holidays to all those celebrating this week!
  4. This is soooo not my expertise. Long ago I read up on this, but it seems like lifetimes. I took the position SL gave users the option to view this number with some intention it would help users or the system have a better experience. I mean, time was put into adding viewing this number in etc. So today, given what is now known, how can a mindful user, seeing this number over their own head, use this number to edit their avi-situation in order to improve their/neighbors experience? This suggests that the number infers absolutely nothing, which if so, I won't blow one more cycle considering it ever again .
  5. See now this confuses me a bit. Looking around me at a very busy skin shop and most including myself are in the lower 40k zone. Very very few have been much over 70k. Very happy I don't see any 300k+ like in the olden days. In worn items I'm comfy wearing a mesh Physique yes-bom all-in-one body-hands-feet + SL head, new mesh Slink clothes, shoes, and animated hair which jacked me up to low 40s. Take my hair off and I'm upper 30s complexity. So today is it seen by those in-the-know about complexity that an avi showing in the 30-40k zone still is "way higher" than could/should be produced and worn?
  6. A search of the forums for "Firestorm viewer" usually finds similar reports, if they exist. Check this discussion out, and if this describes what you are experiencing there are some fixes/workaround discussed. Early on, viewers made it to a solid black background, then eventually did exactly what you mention. Start at the beginning, and work forward from there to the Jira if it sounds similar. Wishing you well!
  7. True, this. Agreeing absolutely! I am happiest when I can resize huds down tiny when not using. Some I leave on for quick changes, and making them larger momentarily as need arises. Complexity and lag for me don't seem to take too big a hit with those I leave on. The flip-it-to-offscreen-except-for-one-button thing is super for the huds left open, so long as the one-button left there is, itself, tiny. I mean, its only open or close on that one button, so there is no need to see the detail in the picture on it for me. But with respect to size of the button, or any hud for that matter, it seems hard to speculate on the viewer every user is using (full screen? window not-full on one monitor? stretched across all/part of 2+ monitors?). Viewers resized seem to move huds, and on different pc's (one monitor, two monitors, stretched or not-full-screen) huds show as a different size (% of viewer geography). I have always wrinkled my nose at a huge hud, or a 2 huds that open up one right on top of the other for the same outfit. But I surmised there were too many scenarios out there on pc's where the size was going to be different anyway. Perhaps the seller made a judgment call: Share garment set with all now with a quality hud, or not release the item until a solution is found which could take forever and a day. The huds too large or one over another (I think of one fav designer in particular I just luvvvvv) in my experience are clothing texture huds, so ehhh I drag em, I click the texture, I may never wear the item never again, so I can deal with that. But e.g. the AO's, when I am testing stuff I reeeeeally am happy when they are yes-mod so I can resize them.
  8. @Sweetgirl0011 and @ZaniahZuri cannot tell if this is either of you, and no hardware shared here yet. But check this out and if this is similar to what you are experiencing there are some fixes/workaround discussed:
  9. Is it like this? My support ticket is still open on this one, still broken for those affected.
  10. Here's the possibilities: You ask for it back and I am convinced many of us - many many of us - would send it back to you. But - if you mistyped a name accidentally and sent it, it is not impossible that avi/name hasn't been on SL in like years/email changed, etc. So Their not responding to your heartfelt request may be they aren't active, only get IMs from their friends list folks, etc. You have nothing to lose by posing a sincere request. But don't lose hope if you're willing to ask for it back. You have nothing at all to lose by asking, and I'd say a pretty fair chance of getting it back.
  11. Good stuff! And if/when I felt any of that impacted me directly, I would surely want to confirm IRS and therefore LL rules have not changed since: This page was last modified on 10 February 2014, at 15:35. Where was I in 2014 (besides here lol)?
  12. Wish I could say this isn't so, but the Pandemic with time to spare to focus has made this blazingly apparent. I've sharpened my skills on recognizing and falling for red herrings.
  13. I keep reading thread last pages, then forgetting what the thread title I clicked in to was about. Until the election, all roads lead to this discussion, and I sure do get that. Dear God let's take care of social problems, color it grey, show some humanity and compassion and be freakin superstar human beings already i say. People hurting and needing that now, two decades ago, 2021, are purple.
  14. I just signed in with an alt, which I haven't signed in to since roughly a week ago, to find all my main avi "Notifications" were sent to this alt also. All the notifications now appearing in my alt pop-up were exactly what I recall were there when I logged off my main avi account last evening. Those notifications copied to this alt account were not all group notifications, also including payment confirm/notifications like rentals I paid etc. The misdirects include groups that my alt is not a member of, just looks like at a point in time they were flatly all copied to my alt also from my main account (dates correct). My alt inventory seems unaffected. This was not the case with another alt - they did not get copied. Something must have crossed wires up between alt and main account. Not on its face wild, but for all that we do see when things cross up, I always wonder what crossed up that we don't easily see
  15. True that. True. I feel Noa's pain, and her angst is appropriate since this continues since April. No communication about a break will do that to folks. The irony here is that the fail seems to affect those who have purchased huge amounts of items at Marketplace over the years. And yah, I'll admit it, it has occurred to me that I'm sorry now I purchased as much as I did, and it has made me hesitate to continue to purchase the same volume of stuff on MP since April. I do not interpret @Noa Noland's post as blaming LL for anything except months of silence and its still broken. Communication, even one that says "oops, we cannot deliver that ability to mega purchasers anymore", really solves the customer service problem when genuine and conveyed in the proper way/tone. Else folks get irky, and I don't blame the customer either.
  16. Hiya, yah no that's not the case here. For those experiencing the search fail, which LL is working on, it occurs 100% of the time. Speaking for myself, it occurs 100% of the time, only under the conditions above, easily reproduced, for months on end. This is not a random fail, and LL advises this should work/not expected. Support ticket was closed in error in September, then reopened and remains open. Thanks.
  17. Belindacarson already answered you straight-up: File a report. If they do this to bully their neighbors -- worthy of repeating *if* they do this to bully their neighbors into paying gross amounts of money to shut down their ugly-visuals, then SL I am convinced will shut them down because yah that's literally against SL rules. So file your report. Proving it? Gonna be at the sake of the mood of SL because if the only evidence you have is "high price set for parcel sale" and "puts up ugly stuff all over", then I suspect that's almost no evidence at all. Travel around at available parcels for sale anywhere and move your Draw Distance out. That ugly-horizon clutter thing is all over! And alone or with a high price set on a parcel is just not enough to say there is extortion going on! And In my experience it is never good to insist ones own group have MORE rules resulting in LESS lawful use of their properties. Find a way to understand and accept, make room for those who think differently than you, and if necessary to get you through it, hope they move soon every single day you login. I think it is quite frankly a wiser use of your time and RL body energy (especially during an ongoing Pandemic) to right-click- Derender + Blacklist, only once for each of what looks like only single-object signs, than it is for your RL body to boil-up and harbor resentment while at SL about a "virtual" thing you can poof in almost an instant and be done with it. If those signs are not scripted, then your permanent Derender will do what you infer here will make you completely happy, i.e. you wont have to view their "horizon candy" ever again and will eventually forget it was ever there. But if you're really angry about something different than visual-clutter, then that suggests a RL thing and I'm not sure SL is the best venue to work through it.
  18. For me, it is still MP to avoid the lag-aggravation, to get through at all to inworld is sometimes just a bore, and to get MP Redelivery (when its working). But I appreciate sellers who place rezzed items in their shops, to test sizing of the product in relation to my avi. E.g. sofas or pocketbooks too large and not resizable... Just two days ago at a huge hair seller I stood walking in place, haven't seen that for awhile -- yuk! This weekend this is the third day I've tried to TP in to a huge sellers inworld shop for their sale only to repeatedly receive the [TP failed region full] now I'm floating again reject - just to spend money ick. Honestly there is only one shop I have ever received a "discount" that actually added up to where I could use it monthly and enjoy it. And I don't have to think too heavily on whether an inworld seller will (continue to) have a Redelivery Casper etc. vendor or not if I just purchase at MP when Redelivery is enabled (and working).
  19. Grousing: Yup, hmmm, swig of coffee, pink glazed donuts. Yup, I'm gonna post in a thread that's been "inactive for 68 days". Blue banner *bite of donut* be so advised. Support Ticket: #1521873 I didn't receive an email message of a response yesterday in my support ticket, saying the engineers had reported it was fixed and closing the ticket. And closing the ticket. Status: "This ticket has been Resolved" No email, but I tripped upon this checking the ticket. Say what? Yah no, not fixed for me. Not fixed in Edge, not in Chrome, not internal browser (Firestorm current release). E.g. Edge: Gateway Timeout The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server. Reference #1.a6c7cf17.1599141305.1eaa83 Try as I might, and I am really trying, but my brain cannot avoid seeing a trend *which I certainly hope my brain later sees changes* ... Is anyone else fixed in searching Marketplace, under your "Account" purchases invoice list, for a "Seller/Merchant" by name?
  20. What is Signature Gianni bod/hands/feet these days - part BOM (HUD) or full bom?
  21. Grumble... expected purpose of grid status page, alongside giving the appearance one prioritizes operations, is reliability and real-time reporting.
  22. "Despite [someone's] best efforts..."
  23. Sharing I certainly wish that were the case today. Many times that a month unfortunately - I mean manyyyy. God blesses the folks where that's still possible. Unfortunately even with rents many times higher, I hear no one speak of cutting or eliminating rent in my neck-of-the-woods. But I see your point about generosity at this time absolutely, with the intent and in order to retain past-proven committed, paying customers, giving an even-if-brief gift of a meaningful discount monthly. If a business can afford to do so, I believe this is the time to do it if ever, agreed. And one should not have to ask for it. But there is a unique story behind every business, and individual, and the bottom line may look ok visually, but one can never tell how upside down financially (or dangling off a cliff) they really are. So though we hope to see generosity, we should presume those who aren't giving it financially, may very well be cliff danglers. Good point though, and I absolutely agree, when it can be done, it should have already been done. I don't rent a full sim, so I don't speak for me, except that I certainly am mindful of and appreciate every single open sim I can visit while I am here.
