From what I've heard (sorry, no fonts) some "not-so-new" routers behave poorly with HTTP textures. The same people, mostly FS helpers, say that if this solve your problem, it is time to begin to think a newer router (yeah, makes sense)

Trouble with parcel privacy settings
Vania Chaplin replied to Kenbro Utu's topic in General Discussion Forum
Kenbro Utu wrote: The adjoining parcel was set to privacy, and the manager cannot change that setting (only the actual sim owner), but that should not affect my parcel. If the setting is true in its definition, as I understand it, then avatars standing within my parcel should be able to be seen from other parcels. We will see what happens with the full implentation of SSB, and move on from there I guess. :smileysad: This a two way setting. I've tested this a while ago, when one turns privacy on not only avatars inside outside the parcel cannot see the ones in the parcel, but the avs in cannot see those there are outside. You have to test this from a parcel with privacy off. -
Is this a valid warning?
Vania Chaplin replied to Autumn Xomotron's topic in General Discussion Forum
Yep, I heard this inworld too, and was thinking exactly this: does this revoke perms, or simply stop animations? In the JIRA above, it seems that it is not posible to revoke permissions. -
The Impact Of Server Side Baking
Vania Chaplin replied to Perrie Juran's topic in General Discussion Forum
I thin that we caught this, but you mentioned 'vulnerabilities' in the code. What vulnerabilities? -
Stuff things in to a object
Vania Chaplin replied to Sephina Frostbite's topic in General Discussion Forum
Unfortunately objects cannot have folder, just other objects or things such scripts, textures, etc. -
Carlos, in Firestorm, depending of the skin you are using, the requesting animation can come in a black window, top-right or bottom-right, that soon disappear, but a chiclet remains (icon of an envelope, with a number), click the chiclet and the request comes again.

Who's ready for the Server Side Baking!?
Vania Chaplin replied to Nagachief Darkstone's topic in General Discussion Forum
The problem is that all SSA viewers have too the latest improvements in sl (mesh, materials, etc.). There are people with with equipment that cannot handle these features, and updating to a SSA will force them to these features as well. In fact, I have an old laptop that is way under the minimum for SL (it was already under minimum in 2007, when I joined SL). I can use it with Firestorm 4.4.2, with mesh enabled and everything else, but is slow (~5 FPS) so I do prefer to use an old Phoenix in it. In time. This is not my main computer, I mostly use it to login an alt, to adjust couples positions in animations, so I don't have a problem with it being slow, as the alt just sit and I work in my main 'puter. -
Best place for boating besides Blake sea??
Vania Chaplin replied to CatherineG Walworth's topic in General Discussion
gingernoel, Just finished a trip that was not possible to me before. From home (red dot) to Tradewinds Yacht Club Thx again :smileyhappy: BTW, you will not find my name in your tip box, because I was in an alt :smileywink: -
Knee boots alpha texture ~ Help please
Vania Chaplin replied to AngelaJones's topic in General Discussion Forum
Your picture: It seems to me that ia an alpha for another boot, maybe packed with this by mistake. First thing to do is asking the vendor to send you the correct alpha layer. If this fails, you can do your alpha to use with this boot, in Fotoshop or Gimp. The directions to do that can be somewhat length, so first try to contact the vendor, if this fails, ask me how to make a new layer -
Just subscribed. I am interested in answers too :smileywink:

Texture Memory Problem -- revisited
Vania Chaplin replied to squashy Beeswing's topic in General Discussion Forum
To me that happens too, but not in busy places. It uses to happens when I am sailing long cruises. But for sailing I like to use high draw distances (256-512 m). 1 or 2 Textures discarded is not a problem, but when it goes high, to 4-6, it is common that FS closes by itself. -
LOL Streamlining LINDEX? Opposite effect
Vania Chaplin replied to Lucretia Brandenburg's topic in General Discussion Forum
OK. I found a workaround increase credit. At the end of the month I will have to pay my annual premium (US$ 72). I went to Buy L$ page (be sure that Advanced Settings are shown). Today, there are about 80 million L$ offered to buy at 257 L$/US$. I put an order to buy L$18640 at a rate of 260 L$/US$ in Limit Buy. [edit] This way I am sure that the order will not be filled before I can cancel it :smileytongue: Than, I went to Transaction History, and canceled the order. The money went to my account as US Dollar credit: -

Waww! Thhx ginger. I am sure that many sailors will thank you as well. -
There is a cartoon that I cannot find now. Shows a poor guy in the street telling to other: - You know, I offered half my fortune to everybody, but none trusted me.

OK. I am Brazilian and cannot participate in this, so what? I don't buy tickets for the local lottery, simply because the chances of win is not worth the time spent to buy one... Of course, I would complete the form to participate on this one.. I can't... I am not loosing a second of dream 'cause of it. This time world is not unfair in my favour, so better put my mind in other things.

Second Life: First Expectations
Vania Chaplin replied to Perrie Juran's topic in General Discussion Forum
Great topic, Perrie :-) I joined SL in january 2007. Never had heard about it until, in a conversation, somebody said something like "second life is just mind masturbation". One day, I was down because my marriage had just ended, crying at the corners, and remembered this. Googled it, made my account, no expections at all. Appeared in the welcome area, patiently followed the advices to shape the avatar, clothing it (yes I was borned nude and, horror, without niples!). Ok for the moment, a shape and not exactly shinning, but usable. Followed the way with exercises, I made each one of them, until reached a place with some places in a board. Clicked one at random, received a warn that once leaving that place I couldn't return. Well, cannot stay here for ever, and accepted the teleport. Rezzed in a place with many people, some walking, others just staying, a fez sitting in a fence - absolute silence... Looked at a few, some were astonishing beautiful compared with my brand new noobie appearance. In 2 or 3 tries, I was capable to sit on the fence too. Than caming around (yes, discovered how to do this too), and then moved the cam to see myself from front, sitting at the side of a wonderful avatar. Just to discover, to my horror, that I was using a mini skirt without undies! Ashamed, I quit, and returned only the next day. My first week was not much different from this, but slowly I was discovering new things... and I am in SL 'til today .
