I have been using the Firestorm but this morning I took a photo of the fully textured object using the LL viewer... and it was fine with that..The LL viewer doesn't do temporary textures - right? It doesn't have the upload hack, but it can display them fine. Temp textures are really part of the legacy avatar baking system, so you need them to see avatars at the moment. Ahah! I tried to tell Qwal he'd screwed up. (temporarily) Thanks Cerise.

I think you're right Qwal. It has local or inventory. I'm sure you never ventured into using local.

You should check there :smileyhappy: hi Trinity Unfortunately not there either. I've had this happen before. Objects I had rezzed in world later lost their textures. One texture I've had to re-upload three times because it keeps vanishing from inventory. It was more puzzling because they would seem to come and go. Now it seems I have to be careful about cache contents making it seem that things still exist when they're actually gone from the database. Which makes it difficult to know somethings gone unless I clear cache daily. Or I might just be confused.

I uploaded some textures on April 11. Then I textured some objects with them. Today the textures are gone. Although the objects rendered fine with the LL viewer until I cleared cache. So that's the bad news. The good news is the new TPVs I was testing really aren't broken like I thought they were.

A tiny contribution:

Sometimes you're doing everything right and still things turn out wrong. Like making coffee. I have a simple drip coffee maker. Everyday I make coffee. I follow all the instructions that came with the it. To the letter. Still I'm having a problem. About once a month the coffee has a slight vinegarish flavor. It's a tiny issue but it bothers me. That's my gripe of the day.

Thanks Roliig. Really nice tool. I made some small changes to get a list of parcels and their areas. A tiny issue. The region where I live has some 4 meter wide parcels. Some people abandoned a 4 meter strip a land on the edge of the region for instance. I changed the starting location to of gX and gY to 3.0 to catch those. Also changed the increments to 4.0 rather than 8.0. Of course it's 4 times the churning so I'm not sure who would want to bother. edit: I really don't know if the first square meter is 0,0 or 1,1 ... me runs off to take a look.

The strictest reading would mean that one could not quote a passage from the "Official Policies" or even from a previous version of the TOS. I'm not so sure that that was/is LLs intent, particularly as regards activities on their own Forums. If it was/is, I (and I'm sure everyone else who has ever copied/pasted anything from those pages here...) would welcome some guidance from them. I suspect the LL wants to avoid having bits and pieces of Official Policy taken as policy rather than the entire documents. Certainly there's potential to not see the five limiting caveats following some quoted piece. Still it's really not practical to have a discussion that only pulls in the policy stuff via a link to the entire article. I point it out mainly because it's so silly.

But note carefully, it does not say that the content is subject to "copyright laws" but to "the terms of service." Copyright law does allow for the quotation of brief portions of copyrighted materials for the purpose of review and discussion. Defining "brief" would be decided on a case by case basis. So while LL may be exerting as much control as they can on the content of the Wiki, there are legal limits to how much control they can exert. To the best of this lay person's knowledge (IANAL), legally speaking they can not stop you from quoting it. Regardless, LL can ban or delete anyone for any reason at their discretion. That is one thing they do have absolute control over. Naturally the area where the LL has the fullest control is here on their own turf. Thus copying of the items content into a forum post is clearly against their rules and subject to ... they don't do nothing i suppose. Re copyright - they state that the item is Copyright, all rights reserved. Because I can't be bothered consulting a lawyer everytime I read sumptin I just quote and copy freely until a flag goes up.

Griffin Ceawlin wrote: I don't recall anyone asking about getting permission to conduct research ever before. Refreshing! I'm not sure if there is a LL contact that you should direct your inquiry to. Suppose you could call or fax them. I did find this in the Wiki: Opinon surveys Generally, you are allowed to collect information from other Residents via notecards, comment boxes asking for suggestions, or other means, as long as it doesn't violate the Community Standards or Terms of Service. This means, for example: You can't start dropping notecards on random Residents around you—that would be spam—but you can post a sign on your land that asks people to click it to take part in the survey. Or at least, ask someone personally if they're interested. There are many ways to encourage other Residents to participate in sharing their opinions with you, and as long as any exchange of personal information is clearly voluntary and includes explicit consent of the person giving the information, there shouldn't be a problem. Some resources that you may find useful: Second Life Research Listserv Academic Second Life Studies SLed Good luck.
