A pity I cannot respond the way I'd like to, to that level of .... Suffice to say, if that's how she's gonna be, better she not bother to show up at all, anyway.

Today's peeve: Users that ought to be familiar with how previews and file systems work in a basic sense ... complaining that they don't work in a much different and rather impossible manner.

Second Life is the program, not the company - that is Linden Lab The Editor is nothing more than a live preview, if you want to use what you've set up make sure you save it and then select/activate it from the Settings folder in your Inventory You can still import the settings from the Library - see above To put number two above a bit more simply: Expecting your settings to remain after you close the Editor without saving them so you can actually select and use them is akin to writing up a document in your word processing program of choice, typing up the document and then closing it, expecting it to be there for later use/alteration. You have to save it first.

This thread reminded me that I needed to clean my own wishlist up a bit. I use it to keep track of tings I *might* or eventually intend to buy - the more recent focus has been on anthro mods. Found a fair few recently that look to be nice and I think I have all the parts needed!

There was work done earlier to try and solve connectivity issues. The advice given on the Grid Status entry is to try to log in to your dashboard through a normal browser, then try again in your viewer of choice.

My response: Wrong question. The correct question is, "What the hell isn't wrong with me?"

Except those services are working. Rental search has - apparently - been moved to Land & Rentals.

Close enough. Their "expected behavior" changed and caused some upset. Said expected behavior being that they were - up until supposedly some time today - able to use the Places category to find their own, paid, rental plot entries.

The gripe appears to be concerning search being "broken" in some way .... when in their own images on the thread they've linked to several times now, one can clearly see a new category titled .... Land & Rentals ....

AMD CPU (Ryzen 7 2700X), nVidia GPU (GTX 980 TI) and not noticing any sort of color/contrast distortion. Had to tick a setting to restore frame rate (covered elsewhere). Linux user (Zen Kernel, Manjaro Distro, XFCE Desktop Environment, nVidia Proprietary Drivers (DKMS package through Arch Repo)).

There is no need to keep Resolved incidents at the top of the page. None.

In agreement with one caveat: As stated in my earlier response, auto-collapsing the Quote block as opposed to wholly hiding it. Said forum does the latter in addition to the mentioned bits and boy oh boy does is mess with the thread flow! makes some responses seem .... disjointed.

Another Forum I frequent does something rather similar to that ... and frankly, I personally hate it as it goes so far as to hide entire threads if started by someone you've put on Ignore. Such a function, built in that way, does not take into consideration that a thread started by an Ignored individual might well still contain worthwhile information or something worth commenting on/adding to. now a middle ground between such behaviors - hiding posts and auto-collapsing quotes - would be nice.

Piggybacking on the song stuck in head peeve above: Casually listening to music (usually Pandora) with the express purpose of destressing/relaxing and a song comes on that triggers my "muse" .... making me want to go hunting for more to resolve the imagery I got!

Heh, you can probably guess which comments there are from me.

Why oh why is it that people will ignore notices/notes on Blog comment sections? The TPV I use clearly has it marked when you're typing out your comment that they do not and cannot offer Support through their Blog comments ... Yet people not only continue to seek support there, they get downright confrontational when told the avenue they're trying to use is not for Support ....

We .... have one on the MP .....

No worries.Still waking up and a bit more snarky than I ought to be!

I could have sworn I mentioned it by name in at least one post ....

I only just realized exactly when this thread was created .... Dear OP: As others have noted, Linden Lab had nothing whatsoever to do with the Windlight presets you are grousing about losing. Funnily enough you really didn't "lose" them either, unless a "clean" install removes the entries for them in the Quick Preferences Sky drop down that is - which you'd have only yourself to blame then for not making proper backups. Oh wait, most (if not all) are listed in the Library as well! Oh and let us not forget that someone took the time to convert them and place the conversions up on the MP for free. The thread thus far also has - buried in it - pointers and such for fixing some of the issues. EEP has been out and present in most TPVs for a while now with FS being pretty much the last one to implement.

Havok has been in the Second Life Viewer code since before I signed up in 2006 - you must be talking about one of the updates that borked things Some of the present issues have fixes external to whatever Linden Lab did At least one person - not sure if it was here or over in the FS Blog comments - noting that their frame rate issue was being caused by a particular windows update At least one "fix" implemented by Linden Lab introduced some problems and needs to be reworked (Object Occlusion in water distortion/reflection) I'd have more to list but I just rolled back out of bed and am considering just rolling back in.

It's a bit worse than simply not updating the GSP in that regard. Timing aside, no indication whatsoever was given that the rolls were to implement a server side fix requiring a restart. Not on the GSP and not on the Release Notes page. The sort of thing that makes me rather hesitant to give them the benefit of the doubt going forward.

Then I further stand corrected and incredibly irritated as well. Ordinarily the GSP and Release Notes are very clear on fix implementations. This time however they left those details out, giving the impression that the fix and restarts (as well as the Release implementation date) had nothing more to do with each other than coincidence - something which I am quite wary of regarding correlation/causation. When implementing such a fix in such a manner it is imperative that it be written out/properly documented.

Two things: If you do not care to speculate, then don't mention anyone by name. The last time I checked the GSP, there were Rolls scheduled originally for later in the week/early the coming week - these were moved to Friday. I prefer to go by what information is directly presented. I was mistaken as to the timing of the rolls (they were shifted). For that and that alone I apologize and stand corrected. Aisha, have you even tried to alter the region/parcel level EEP settings on the region in question? That will answer if the restarts/updates truly had anything to do with the fix. As of the Release Notes page, the version in question was rolled in on Thursday - this may be improperly marked. There is no mention of an EEP fix unless such is meant to be a part of the rather generic internal tweaks.

No. I do not own the objects in question and the holder for the account passed on. I am keeping them there (interactive pets, KC brand, no idea if they do much HTTP communication work outside sending stats to the external server) as a sort of remembrance. ETA: For things like this ... I do tend to worry a bit more than 'normal'.
