Crossing my fingers, as I have not been able to use an official SL V2 viewer since 2.5 was released. I always hang at the clothing part for like 5 min, then I get the Darn, you have been logged out. Currently, I have to use Kirsten's S(20) build 40, or his does the same thing.

Right now, I have about 30 different viewers in my download folder, from project viewers, to mesh, to beta, to development viewers. I can log into the beta grid with the mesh viewer, but besides that, not 1 of the others will log me into the main grid.

But v1.23 works everytime, I've not used it really in almost a year tho. Right now, I have to use v1.23 as this is the only viewer I can use that will upload animations.:smileymad:

Oh, and I'm not the only person I know having the exact same issue. LL needs to just keep calling all V2 viewers beta.

If the latest Snowstorm dev version won't work this one won't either.  I presume you've tried switching off anti-virus/firewall and changing your port to see if any of that changes things?

[Viewer 2.5.1 coming soon]

Recently the Snowstorm team (the main development team at LL for Viewer 2) have been concentrating on bug fixes/performance issues (and this is continuing with the recently commenced Sprint 12).  Probably as a result of this the forthcoming release is going to be Viewer 2.5.1 rather than Viewer 2.6.  I expect that a blog post will accompany the release - if not I will post on here the main changes.

What has happened to the option to see All Feeds in the Blog feeds selection pull-down? I used to use that regularly. :smileysad:

Even Windows has this: in inventory under version one, if the folder or item I wished to access has an initial letter known to me, just hitting that letter key gets me to the next instance of that letter as an initial letter.  A simple shortcut that makes a large inventory manageable, makes organizing inventory worthwhile, and a simple shortcut that has been eliminated in the 'advances' of the V2 UI.  V2 has some undoubted advantages functionally, but the UI does not adhere to these simple standards of functionality.

In Viewer 2.5 once you start typing in the Inventory search bar it brings up those items with the string matching what you type as you type it.  This seems to me to be much better than just finding folders or items with that initial letter.  In SL you may want to find a 'rose' but not remember where that occurred in the name.  This way by the time you typed 'rose' all folders/items with that in the object name would be in the inventory pane.

 

[Since V2.5 and new profiles, my profile has been wiped out at least 6 times]

the JIRA relating to this issue is VWR-24969.  Please add any information that you can to this, especially if you can easily reproduce it, it does seem to be one that only affects certain users.

[Hi, what is this forum for?]

It's for details, and discussion of, the weekly server updates.  The equivalent on the old blogrums was 'Server Deployments'.  In the absence of the forums these last two weeks Oskar Linden has been posting the changes here.

Ideally there should also be a 'Grid problems' forum for people to discuss if problems are occurring, and thus help create JIRAs and alert LL of problems.

Firstly make sure you report them for abuse as Marianne has suggested.  Then I suggest you go to a noscript sandbox (easily found in search)  and dislodge him/her there.

You still have the option to 'Watch' a JIRA and that seems a better way of showing commitment to a JIRA.

[How do you turn off the "toast" ?]

If you are using Viewer 2 these are options coming in a forthcoming release - probably 2.4 or earlier in a month or so.  At present it is not possible, except through using the Debug Settings in the 'Advanced' menu.

Hey Hotmomma,

   Am also currently using a machine using the ATi x300 graphics card - good to see you out there.  Unlike you am using only a 1.73GHz Pentium M on a laptop - so it is possible!  Am also on mobile broadband and get 800K if I am lucky, 40K if I am not and am running Windows XP.  And, hey, Second Life actually runs surprisingly.  Yes it is laggy even on a modified 'Low' Graphics settings but it does work and doesn't log me off much.  And I run Avast Anti-Virus and a firewall so clearly that isn't the problem.  Am even running Viewer 2.0 at times and it runs slower, but works.

  Would suggest you look at what else is running on your machine - often other processes can often hog resources Second Life needs.

  But at least this shows you that Second Life is not picking on your graphics card - best of luck in finding out what is affecting it.

  I would also suggest you use Second Life's own browser and kill any Firefox sessions before using it as Firefox can really consume resources at times.
