-giggles- Yayness!! Thank you Squishy!! Thanks for all the help everyone, its greatly appreciated. After about 2+ hours, I was finally able to rez, cloth myself, and change shin and outfit back to normal. Hopefully this won't happen again.

Yeah, I just was able to take the Ruth shape/whatever off and finally was able to get clothes on (yay!!!). But, for some reason my shape and skin won't load (I can put them on now, finally, but they just won't show.. might just take time I suppose). Hehe, yes, I've tried the eyebrows. I've got lots of eyebrows lol.

Dres, Yeah, the VBO is automatically disabled (I have the new Phoenix Viewer). But I did check just in case!! I just did the speedtest and the results are: Ping = 25ms, Download Speed = .58Mbps, and Upload Speed = .02Mbps. I'm on Skype with two friends of mine (one of which is the one who logs me on to help me which doesn't work anymore) and they both said "ouch" to the upload speed and have suggested I shut everything off and try the test again, which I've done and those results are: Ping = 27ms, Download Speed = 1.55Mbps, and Upload Speed = .06Mbps. I shut everything down (that I could possibly think of shutting/signing/closing out of. I went onto my moms computer and went and done the speedtest and her reslts are: Ping = 35ms, Download Speed = .75Mbps, and Upload Speed = .13Mbps. However, I've also noticed out locations are different. I'm using a Local Wireless Connection while she's getting it from a HUB. -sigh- My upload speed is severely killing me. I'll definitely contact the Phoenix Viewer Support Group. I'm serevely peeved at the SecondLife Support Group.. they pretty much want me to be a premium member and still not help yet milk me for money I don't even have. My friend who helps me is a premium member and filed a harassment report (which dealt with money), and they didn't do a darn thing.

Sonya, Yes, iits severely frustrating to the point I'm about to just up and quit SecondLife. I've been putting up with this crap for far to long and its just pushed me over the edge by doing this. Now not even my friend can help me (the one who logs me on to change me and whatnot). Does the same on his end too. This is the worst this issue has ever been and now its seems like I'm stuck like this. The only thing I have not done that you have suggested was: 1. Making an alt to test (which ironically I was just thinking about doing lol).

Yeah, nothing really has changed with the connection, other than I have to use crappy wireless at home. I have tried connecting to different connections that I could at home, but it depends on where I'm at in my house. In my room I only get one connection to use and in the livingroom I get a different connection (which that connection like to double/triple/and even qudruple my posts if I text.. its strange). I had the bandwith at 500kpbs, but I lowered it to its lowest setting to see if does anythingdifferent since my connection at home is very crappy. Unfortunately, it still didn't change a thing. I'm still getting the same message, and I also get a message when everything is loading in saying: Downloading clothing... I only use Phoenix and once in a bluemoon Viewer 2. I made Phoenix its own folder last night. Nothing has changed with that. I've also tried rebaking who knows how many times, I've lost count lol. Sadly, I can't even put clothes on. I put things on one at a time unless, like a jacket texture and shirt texture, they look the same I just use the one and not the other. I can attached on prims, but textures it won't allow, or eyes or shape.. it refuses. It's also refuseing to do a Character Test. I had my friend log me on a few moments ago and he has the same issue on his computer (with my avatar). He gets the same messages as well. For some reason my correct shape won't load which isn't allowing me to put on my own or clothes.

I was at school in October 2010, in my dorm room. Granted, I know in a dorm room there's a lot of students using the same connection, so I've kept that in mind, but I've never had any trouble with it before, other than lag at time or the net crashes (typical college). When I'm at school, we are connected to the internet by an ether-net cable. When I'm at home, in order to use my laptop I have to use Local Wireless Internet. I have no router and no ether-net connect to use when I'm at home (and it sucks majorly). I went onto the website you gave me and it told me: Packet Loss = 0%, Ping = 30ms, and Jitter = 8ms, Grade = A. I'm not exactly sure what my bandwidth is nor how to check it.. I'm not really computer smart. I tried that last thing first you suggested me to do.. it rezzed me but the problem is right now is that my shape won't load, so I can't change anything. I get this message: Can't change appearance until clothing and shape are loaded.

Alright, I'm sure this issue isn't just with me, but this is my problem and its been on and off since August of 2010. This is the absolute worse now. Problem 1: Avatar refuses to load. Problem 2: Clothes (minus prims) refuse to load. Problem 3: Clothes will load on my screen, only prims on other people’s screens. Background: When I first came to SecondLife I used Emerald. Why? Because it looked and ran better on my laptop (college student, so the laptop is all I have.. wish I hada desktop). I've never had problems on Emerald. Now that Emerald has been taken off, I switched to Phoenix and I also have SecondLife Viewer 2. Things were running smooth, but roughly around October of 2010, my clothes began to give me problems. I would change my outfit just like everyone else and for some reason they wouldn't appear to others, and yet it appears on my end. I was stuck wearing certain outfits. Eventually it let up, I would just log onto SecondLife Viewer 2 and back onto Phoenix and that problem would be resolved (more like a band-aid). Yeah, it was an annoying process but it was the only thing I could do. However, it did get slightly better, some clothes I was able to change without switching back and forth viewers. The newest issue with all the rollovers and stuff happening; SecondLife constantly turns my avatar into Ruth. It’s getting seriously frustrating beyond belief. I've had to ask my friend to log me on and change my clothes and do a test character and completely redo everything in order for me to look "normal". It’s getting so old and becoming a serious burden. I just want to enjoy the game, wear clothes I bought (which aren't cheap), and just be able to change my clothes whenever and wherever I want without having such a problem. Methods Tried: Switching to SecondLife Viewer 2.Having someone log me on and see if they too are having the problem (which they didn’t at first until around March 2011)Wiping Phoenix Viewer off my computer entirely and just using SecondLife Viewer 2.Tried using Emergence, Cool Viewer, and Imprudence, even the oldest version of SecondLife Viewer.Entirely wiping SecondLife off the laptop and reloading Phoenix Viewer.Looking through the Knowledge Base, Blogs, and Forums and trying all the tricks I could find (major fail).Filing a ticket to SecondLife asking for some major help and was pretty much told to a) look in the Knowledge Base or b) become a Premium Member to additional help (which is outrageous!).Entirely wiping my laptop and start fresh.Use two other computers (which are desktops) to see if I had the same problem (and I do.. sadly).Tried creating a new cache folder.Tried clearing inventory cache and cache. Nothing has worked. I’m at a complete loss. My enjoyment on SecondLife is going downhill. I’m not sure what else I can do.. please help if you can!
