Haha me too. I asked him if he'd contribute it to Firestorm but he's being a meanie

That's one sexy skin. Love the name tag mod too.

It's up on the grid status blog now: Connectivity Issues to Second Life Beta Grid (ADITI)

You don't say which viewer you are using but if you happen to be using Firestorm, we have better DoF support since my old post In Firestorm 6.4.13.63251 & later... Added free-aim mouse and focus lock in Depth Of Field This feature makes setting focus point for Depth of Field (DoF) snapshots so much easier if you do not have a Spacenavigator mouse Preferences → Graphics → Depth of Field → Depth of Field focus follows pointer Phototools → DoF/Glow → Depth of Field focus follows pointer When this setting is enabled, Depth of Field (DoF) focus will follow your mouse pointer. This behaviour matches that seen when using flycam with a Spacenavigator mouse or similar. Use this option in conjunction with DoF focus lock: World → Photo and Video → Depth of Field focus lock ( Shortcut ALT+SHIFT+X ) See this feature in action HERE

Bug report here: BUG-231720 - [Aditi] Many people can no longer log into the beta grid since 2 days ago

It's probably a region issue. Does this problem only happen when you both login to a particular region? If it only happens when you login to a particular region, then it is likely this bug BUG-7557 - Online Friends are not showing when login (Once again) In this case, restarting the affected region will fix it. If it is a mainland region, then you will need to request LL support to restart the region by filing a support ticket at https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/home

I think you are fretting about a different bug, which is new & started a few days ago. I just filed it. BUG-231680 - Friends user names often stuck as (Loading) over the last few days for many users This one is being complained about a lot in groups.

Eh, that bug is over 8 years old. Another year won't hurt

It sounds like this bug, which as far as I know has never been fixed BUG-7557 - Online Friends are not showing when login (Once again) Restarting the affected region should fix it.

I wonder if we'll get Andrew Linden back. He left LL to go to work with Philip at HiFi.

1.40.2 is still my favorite.... 💣

LL have never banned that feature. It's a debugging tool, nothing more. If people hijack it for drama, that's their problem

Tis a Firestorm bug: FIRE-31093 - no Stand button on first ground sit after login

Known bug https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-29502

Are you able to login on the Linden Lab viewer? Downloads | Second Life

Did you recently contact LL support? LL uses Stella Connect for their support now & you'll be sent a satisfaction survey thingy after a support contact.

I can repro that. I filed a bug report BUG-231531 - [EEP] Viewer crashes when customizing parcel EEP

In the top menu bar of the viewer, can you go to Help -> About Firestorm, click the "Copy to clipboard" button & paste your system information here.

The next release of Firestorm (soon ᵗᵐ) will have an X on the guidebook floater to close it. ᵀʰᵃⁿᵏ ᶠᵛᶜᵏ

It's probably this bug: BUG-230568 - Music Dropping in world longer then the typical 15 seconds all over SL, it affects all streams and radio stations BUG-231347 - Stream Drop Outs

I can reproduce this. I filed a bug report BUG-231436 - Unable to comment on marketplace reviews

It looks like this bug, well technically not a bug actually: BUG-9439 - When certain objects are rezzed, they cause other nearby objects (including default prims) to render invisible The problem is caused by having too many dense meshes placed close together.

@NiranV Dean

Are you launching the viewer on a secondary monitor on a system with Nvidia graphics?
