"News flash luddites ... The computer I've been using is an older Core2, 2.6ghz computer with 6 gigs ram " LOL Come back when you run it on a P4, with 1 gig ram. Then you can say you ran it on an 'old' computer.

I don't get it. Why should I care about some number printed on a frame? A prim is still a prim, no matter what arbitrary number which may be associated with it. Try harder.

These new forums are really terrible. Not only because there is no General forum for threads that don't fit in any of the extremely narrow(minded) catefories provided, but because you can't even start threads in the feedback forum. I mean do you really expect anyone to believe you will read thousands of replies to a single post? of course not. It's become pretty clear LL really does not want to engage their customer base, nor do they want their customers to be able to communicate to each other. And the fonts are way too small. It's really hard on the eyes.

I'm actually glad to hear that voting is being removed from JIRA. Getting people to vote for something is really no indication of the relative importance or severity of a bug or issue. I don't know that the number of watchers is either. But lacking anything better I guess it will do.

When I clicked that, got the warning - adjusted - and nothing - no product - sent to a main page. This will be a dilemma for those who do major promotions, and rely on that product link going directly to product. Yes, it definitely should continue through to the item you wanted to view, once you click the +18 box. Sloppy coding.

This is something LL and Residents should have been working on for months. It shouldn't have been sprung on everyone at the last second like this. That alone stinks of incompetence. The fact that the maturity level setting is completely arbitrary based on a mystery set of keywords is even more silly. This will never work.

I was hoping people would see the difference between user names and display names and think it was funny, I also think what type font is displayed makes a very big difference. Both the top and the bottom are “i” “L” and the number one... If you think that is funny, then I guess you think people putting on police uniforms, installing blue lights on their cars, and pulling people over in their cars is funny too. "haha just kidding, I'm not really a police officer!" Guess what, that's something that will get you in serious trouble too. Impersonation of offcials, people that we as a society are supposed to trust, is never funny.

A couple of MySQL commands, a few lines of PHP, probably a little tweak to the CSS, and five minutes in Photoshop to make grayed out buttons and those of us with concerns will be singin' Kumbaya! You have to remember LL is all about Open source and stuff. Let me fix your sentence: "A couple of MySQL commands, a few lines of Perl, probably a little tweak to the CSS, and five minutes in GIMP to make 73% grayscale tinted buttons and those of us with concerns will be singin' some song released under the Creative Commons License!"

Good to see you working in-world. Keep at it. It not until about the 6 month mark that you start running into the pitfalls. It's important you experience those too.

Contrary to what those with frictional attitudes would have you believe, Linden Lab is not stupid. Sure, they make mistakes (some of which could be thought of as stupid) - but in the end, they aren't so stupid as to break a major function of the SL experience such as inventory transfer. Actually they are. The day they made it so people could completely *HIDE THEIR PROFILES* from search, Inventory dropping has been broken. I want to give a customer his item, but gee, guess what, he doesn't come up in search, and I have no way to *START AN IM* with him, which is now the *ONLY* way to do it. Even if Profiles allowed dropping inventory, I *CAN'T GET TO HIS PROFILE EITHER*. It's a completely stupid situation. And LL is stupid for creating it.

Why do i have a feeling https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-219 still won't be fixed? Should I even bother trying it?

Good. It's about time LL did something right. Were LL to allow this sham to continue, they would be tacitly agreeing that Linden Impersonation was fine and dandy. And it's not.

Which is just another reason people should be upgrading to Viewer 2. It's been improved a lot, and there's really no good reasons left to not upgrade.

Sounds like "Avatar Imposters" is kicking in. its a lower resource way to render avatars in large numbers. You can turn Avatar Impostors down in the Graphics preferences. But if you're seeing it in the first place, it's probably because your system's specs are pretty low and/or you're in a very crowded area. Turning it off may give you really bad frame rates.

IE8 and LL's Viewer 2 work fine with SLURLs. I suspect the problem is with your viewer.

It's always a shame when someone invested in the Virtual World has to move on. Here's hoping all the best for you down the road.

tl;dr

If that's what you're doing, it's not a fair comparison. Your 1.23 viewer will already have your settings set properly, and the cache full of your most often-downloaded content. The 2.x viewer will have default settings, and an empty cache. For a fair comparison, you'll need to use it for at least 24 hours, and actually bother to set your settings to match your 1.23 viewer (especially things like bandwidth speed etc). I know many (myself included find 2.x to be faster and more responsive than 1.23. If you're not seeing this, you're doing something wrong, and a disservice to yourself by denying yourself all the benefits 2.x brings.

Now if we could only get https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-219 fixed, we would be making some real progress.

Well, I can't blame LL for trying to make a buck, but the first thing I thought when seeing this advertising site was, "Wow, it sure is nice, why does the blog and forum still suck so bad?" I think spending time on those instead of making a whole new ad site would have been time better spent. Banners could be sold in the existing marketplace. Nothing else I can add that hasn't already been said. I just want in on this epic thread.

It's running on EBay techonology, so it's exactly like EBay. If you've ever used EBay, you'll be quite familiar.

I have today what is supposed to be the PREMIER gaming machine in a laptop. Well, there's your problem. SL isn't meant to work on laptops. Laptops are great for some things, graphic intensive applications isn't one of them.

What's a Flog ? :-) That's what comes out if you try to use a blog software (this Jive thingy LL is using) as a forum! Forums + Blogs = Flogs I thought it was Flog because they were flogging their news. (Flogging is often used to mean promoting)

Where can we file bug reports? I see no project or existing bugs for this in Jira. The viewer does not accept pasted text, nor does it accept text from the Windows IME. In other words, I can't say ãã¯ãã to our friends in Japan. I noticed the inability to paste, but assumed it was intentional. The ability to log into completely anonymous avatar accounts from any browser would allow for too many creative spamming opportunities if pasting was allowed. Making a potential spammer type in each spam attempt would deter widespread spamming. Typing other languages should be supported though, I agree.
