When I first joined SL, I liked the way regions would change from day to evening to night and then to morning. A bit faster than in RL. But now, whereever I go, at any time, every region is in bright daylight. Even though my environmental settings are on default. Why is this? In noticed this for awhile, and to test this, I went to a beach I knew that used to always change and stayed there for several hours. The sky never changed. It remained at midday the whole time. Why is that? Has something changed in SL? I use the latest Phoenix viewer; is it possible that I changed some option in preferences without realizing it? I don't think that's the reason though, because whenever I talk to other avatars about this, they all say the region is in daylight also. Now I know I can change the way things look for me by changing the environment default to something else. But I don't like this because then other people are not seeing the same thing as me, so it affects everyone's overall mood. Besides, I don't want to manually have to adjust the slider every few hours, I prefer it to happen on it's own, just like in RL. Can anyone explain this? Thanks.
