[13:22:27] [Second Life: The message sent to Firestorm Support English is still being processed. If the message does not appear in the next few minutes, it may have been dropped by the server.] I got a dropped message error multiple times, then tried to close and re-open the group and got the upable to connect/sync error

I haven't seen many issues and have not personally experienced any for several days. I had been reporting on https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/1683919

At least something stronger than a backhoe blade

Long ago there were reports made in the Phoenix Firestorm support groups about double posts and back then it was pretty quickly determined that the problem was in the network. A lot of times the affected user was using either a public hotspot or hotel internat, and mostly using WiFi. Once they returned to their home network the problem stopped. Thanks for posting, it points out that no network is immune from such problems, even when the usual performance tests show no problems.

Smart move. In your jira you mentioned that LL should have hired you when you submitted your "lucrative" resume, but it seems that this post doesn't demonstrate any programming skills. Maybe next time check the code and understand what data is coming from the servers and why.

Second Life's Inventory Loss wiki page is helpful, but the very first step is anything but. The Clear History button will clear, among other things, your texture cache, but it will not clear the inventory cache, and that's all that needs clearing. Better at this point would be to use http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/How-to-improve-Viewer-performance/ta-p/1316923#Section_.2 to clear your cache. There are other solutions available, too, which don't require clearing your entire cache (why clear the texture cache for an issue not related to textures?), puts other steps before clearing your inventory cache (clearing cache should not be the first measure in every situation), and identifies just which portion of the cache should be cleared on http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_missing_inventory

This happens most often if you accidentally choose to wear a full folder, or your complete inventory. It happens. The short answer is to simply detach what you've worn, but because the servers still see a queue of items to wear, it will keep adding those items whenever there is room to do so. The Firestorm team have a wiki page that addresses this issue, http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/wearing_entire_inventory . Nalate's blog may also be helpful.

In my experience, LL will put the account "on hold" for an indefinite time if it has been reported compromised. I've not reported one myself but one friend had her account compromised, it was put on hold, and after several months the account disappeared. She isn't the kind of person to ask about that so I don't know why it was closed. Keep contacting LL and ask them for updates on the account status.

My personal experience is mixed. I have reported griefers/attackers and after some short time (days) I see no evidence of them again, not even the sake kind of griefing/attacks. But then I have been reporting objects on premium land for several weeks, including the parcel owner, with no apprent response. Live chat was useless, and the objects remain, affecting at least two Linden home regions. Sometimes it makes me wonder what benefit I'm getting out of my premium account if I have to put up with this. Oh sure, I could move, but why should I have to resort to that? Sorry for ranting, but it is what it is, my experiences with abuse reporting. At least I didn't mention the hundreds (thousands?) of ARs made on someone who keeps abusing one of our support groups, for whom no apparent action is being taken.

I've been trying to use the latest available V3 for Linux, but every time I open a file dialog, such as Build > Upload >Image or Prefs > Chat > Browse, the viewer will crash to desktop. As well, selecting Prefs > Advanced causes a CTD. I have logs for each atempt if anyone would care to peruse them, I'd be happy to attach them to a JIRA if someone has a recommendation as to which issue is most relevant (searching turned up lots of false positivves. Thanks in advance for any input Update (since I can't carry on a discussion in this system): Thank you Martin. It's unfortunate that the answer is hidden in a non-public jira issue. But thank you anyway for the response.

According to https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-1438, it appears the incident report page is gone.

Actually, the viewer does keep track of your time online, and it can be shown by going to the Develop menu (use Ctrl-Alt-Q to enable it) => Show Info => Show Time. For V1-based viewers go to the Advanced menu (Ctrl-Alt-D to enable) => UI => Show Time. This will place two timers in the lower right, one showing total time online, the other showing how much time is spent fetching textures. The V1-based display (at least in Phoenix) also shows framerate, physics FPS and time dilation

OK, so Lydia is a little late hopping onto the bandwagon. Maybe her network is a little slower. That's OK. Has anyone noticed that LL's own web profiles don't comply with the spirit of the TPV policy against showing true online status? Yeah, I know, my.secondlife.com is not a TPV so it doesn't have to comply. But since viewers like Phoenix and Firestorm still offer a legacy profile floater, and that has Web tab that shows the user's web profile, even TPV's have LL's blessing to show true online status, in a roundabout way.
