Well firefox just updated itself with the new release. That is probably what broke it. So it is worth a try to conduct the old reinstall viewers thing. But I bet you will have to reinstall the LL viewer if that doesn't work.

Usually a reinstall fixes that for me.

Indeed. Otherwise: "I watch you smile just like a dead thing smiles"

I've had different results. Especially in places with 90 bots in the same location. Literally all in a pile jostling around as more autorez on top of the pile. I could see around 35 or so and when the value was boosted the rest became visible and FPS dropped to zilch lol.
But "invisible avatars" is something that I have seen happening as long as I have been in SL. Sometimes they simply don't render. It isn't intentional. Relogging usually fixes it.
When LL releases the alpha skin capability (is in the code but not turned on) then sure the avatars will really be capable of being invisible but the name tags would still be there. As it is today you would have to use an invisiprim and probably some other techniques as mentioned to simulate cloaking.
The permanent ever lasting rule of privacy in Second Life is simple. There is only privacy from other residents on isolated private access islands. There is no privacy on open access regions. There is never privacy from Lindens. They don't even need to log in to conduct surveillance against you. So if you are worried about privacy then you have a problem. You don't even have privacy in real life lol.

In a busy sim with more than 35 avatars someone is going to be "invisible" since by default the viewer is set to render only 35 avatars. There is a debug setting for this number. When I used to go around taking pictures of bot farms I used to set that value to 100 to make sure all the avatars rendered.

If there is a male in real life playing a female in second life, what actions by this female avatar could be considered abuse?
Whatever falls within Linden Lab's definitions of abuse reportable offenses. None of which involve gender unless someone is disclosing real life information in which case they are probably history if LL confirms any sort of disclosure has occurred.
I.e.; if someone discloses rl gender information about anyone else in Second Life then that someone is subject to disciplinary action not excluding termination.

So the answer to your question either falls within the confines of those policies or if in doubt you can contact Linden Lab and ask them.
As for simply an adult male playing an adult female, an adult female playing an adult male, an adult male playing an adult male, an adult female playing an adult female, an adult human playing an adult fox, etc... No not an abuse. It isn't the adult character in question. It is the actions of the adult character.

The Commerce team promised 2 weeks notice. The next office hour day is a month out.
January office hours: January 19th 2010 at 10am PT, 4pm PT, and 8pm PT.http://slurl.com/secondlife/Xstreet/34/95/22
My advice is to keep the money in your xstreet account and commence writing it off.

Try creating a new group with the same name. If it works then you got it back for the low low everyday price of L$100!

if it is not transfer, you are not going to use it anymore, and it isn't made by some slebrity then may as well delete it. If it is transfer you can give it away or sell it. but giving away stuff that people will laugh at is not very nice imho. Like prim shoes for ladies. People with tons of the old style bad looking prim shoes are probably never going to wear them again since it takes a real artist to make them that look realistic and most are not good looking and make your feet look dumb and half cut off. Just delete them rofl. Same with hair and cruddy skins you will never wear again. Anyone still have that ancient non flexi go go dancer diva hair from who knows when that i once saw a picture of? rofl. retro SL hah hah

You tried the character test I mentioned and SL will not load the defailt avatar?
You logged into the aditi grid and loaded your inventory there after a clean reinstall which included deleting your possibly corrupted cache? You did in fact delete the cache directory? The cache directory being different from the second life directory under program files?
And in aditi your avatar did not load?
If you did not execute these steps then you did not follow the instructions.
-
well after you go change your password...
...
Now that you are back... You need to perform a clean reinstall. That means after you uninstall SL you delete the roaming secondlife folder and then clear your trash. Then reinstall Second Life.Then go to the aditi grid first.
The long version: http://annotoole.wordpress.com/inventory-blues/
The LL version:http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Lost_inventory#USING_THE_PREVIEW_GRID_TO_RECOVER_LOST_INVENTORY
If you still have issues then enable the advanced menu by pressing shift-alt-ctrl-d and then select Advanced->Character->Character Tests->Test Female (or Test male). Now you should have a default avatar. If you still don't then you need to file a support ticket so they can go see what is wrong with the inventory database cluster you are assigned to. Along about that time they should have a few more customers from that cluster howling about it as well.

This link will bring up a list of groups to peruse for possible groups to join for scripting knowledge sharing: http://search.secondlife.com/web/search/groups/?q=script

lmao. tell you what. Have your robot join the group called Bots of Second Life. http://world.secondlife.com/group/74382421-b05a-b3cb-f059-411b7dafd81f
Group: Bots of SecondLife
(139 members)
Charter: A group for all the bot accounts in Second Life. If an avatar is a member of this group, it is likely a bot.
Open Enrollment
With an open declaration that an account is a bot in the profile and being a member of such an esteemed group then how could anyone hold it against you? If your going to have a lot of these robots on a parcel then don't opt in for show parcel in search and nobody can say you are "gaming search with bots". One, two, or even three bots on a parcel that is shown in search would hardly boost it by any worrisome amount anyway which is why people are generally not penalized for having a few models or bouncer bots around.

Yes it is. LSL can communicate out to web servers and bring the responses back in. Of course internet latency will be a factor. Also the robot could function as a web server itself which may be quite useful for remote control purposes.
Start here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_HTTP
Also consider joining the mailing list: https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/secondlifescripters
There are numerous in world scripting groups that represent a ton of knowledge. Just have to find them. I'll try to find some of these groups and list them here. Or perhaps others can chime in with the groups before I can list them.
-
Given any new item added is only going to be in the new products feed for a few minutes I don't see any time advantage at all. The time advantage will happen with the non LL blog feeds where all SL marketing has moved to. Weekend mornings are good.
Has anyone looked in the new products feed? I completely lost interest in it. I liked the merchant created ad posts in the old xstreet forum. Those worked pretty well and you only saw ads a merchant that cared enough would post.

You are not the only one wondering why their groups vanished. You could try clearing group cache and relogging. Short of that about all you can do is hope LL decides to fix whatever they broke with the latest rolling restart.
-
But did you delete all of SL? You need to delete the cache directory too in order to perform a clean reinstall. The cache location is shown in the preferences network tab. So when you uninstall make sure you also back up any chat logs and get rid of the old cache directory before reinstalling.
-
Sell it back to yourself. be very careful how you proceed though. Perhaps others can chime in with the best method to make sure it doesn't screw your tier level up.

LL was rolling out a new version of the region simulator system. Once they finish rolling it out to all the regions then you shouldn't see that message anymore.

The rolling restarts have now concluded. Once again, thank you for your patience.

The other one isn't even listed in relevant Linden profiles and doesn't show in search.

The only way to find out is to attend Babbage's Office Hour Wednesdays from 3am2009-09-23T10:00:00+00:00 to 4am PDT at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ambleside/232/18/22/

Sadly that information was never updated on the wiki: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Statistics_Bar_Guide
Therefore the only person that could answer the question would be the Linden that wrote the data measure code.
