[Viewer 2.5 with Web Profiles Has Arrived]

• I can't get to the web profile without clicking on the profile link in the above Linen's write up.
• I don't see where I change my privacy settings anywhere on the web profile
• In world I can't get to my profile information to change my privacy settings.
• I get an error message "ssl handshake failed"  when I click on people's profiles.
• If I click on the side of the error box for the website, it doesn't load.

So the web page profile has now given me less information and I don't know how to fix it.

[Getting Immersed in Second Life]

Welcome.  It is exciting to see you here.  You looked a little lonely there in the woods, by your mailbox, no wife in your log cabin and all alone on your raft.  You need some peeps.  You needs friends in your list.  People when you see them on line you IM them.  Because sl is not about playing with the toys that the interface gives us, it is about the people using the toys.  Why build if no one uses it. 

I want to see customer retention. If you retain customers, then I have customers to sell my stuff to.  You stay in business, I have fun in sl.  I say this because I hang out at one of the three land marks that every noob (new account)  gets in their inventory.  And the rudeness there on the part of some of the regular scares away one day old newbies just starting out.  I have IM from people who have been treated rudely and say they are done with second life.  All because of the welcome areas, help areas and orientation areas that are landmarks in the folders of people starting out.  Something needs to be done to make sure second life hangs onto the people who sign up as customers.  Otherwise, second life becomes a lonely experience where no one gets to share their creations, elaborate sims that no one visits, empty clubs that shut down and stores that fold because not enough income to pay the tier.  So again, retain your new customers and we all win.

[Viewer 2.4 Released!]

OK someone at Help Island suggested turning off the display names in Preferences.  That seemed too work.  No problems with an IM creating two text files on my hard drive.  Such a simple solution.

[Viewer 2.4 Released!]

That is what the problem is, the IM don't show.  I can't scroll up an find the previous IM.  When I look where the files are stored on my computer, there are two text files.  One seems to be my part of the IM and the other seems to be the replies to my IM.  But these are not found in second life, but on my real life computer.

[Viewer 2.4 Released!]

Is anyone else having problems with the display names effecting their IM with version 2.4.

 

Some of my friends showed up as ??? for a while when I upgraded.  Now, my IMs from them are being effected.  When I look at the text files stored on my hard drive I have files with both their display names and their old names.  So this is an example f what I am talking about.  Molokai Sharkfin and molokai.sharkfin will have their own text files.  So when I get an IM from someone, the previous "conversations" are gone depending on who originated them.  But there is no continuous IM with the entire history.  I can only find it on my hard drive under the two text file and I have to check the times and "synthesize" the information if I want to look at the entire history.  Worse is that If I don't answer and IM right away, it is lost. 

This has created some really awkward with IM being lost. 

Any suggestions?
