Alexandreeanna Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Rather then the grey box going through the info, it should have just an animated spinning gold coin with the hover text above it, this could save a few megabytes for each update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenMichelle Lane Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 OK, I'm spinning. What did I just replace? just askin' cuz jobs are hard to find in this economy.

KarenMichelle Lane Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Maybe... Terms of Service Press the coin to accept without actually reading them. They will be paraphrased for you in a video. Note: Those who don;t understand Aussie may have a small issue. To the OP. Shoving the text of the TOS into the grey text box is the easiest of thing for a website to do. The script that makes sure it is all received in order to allow the activation of the [ Accept ] button is more complicated. Having a good internet connection certainly helps.

Phil Deakins Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I think you've solved the mystery. The grey box being the grey ToS-containing window that open with each ToS update, and the gold coin being sarcasm about what the ToS does for LL.

Amethyst Jetaime Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You obviously are one of those people that think Linden Lab is a charity and should provide Second Life for free. LL is a for profit business and operates as such because they have an obligation to their investors. If they didn't charger user fees in a variety of ways someone would have to provide income in another way. Would you rather have your SL interrupted by RL commercials or see RL commercial billboards all over SL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Billboards are easy to ignore. Can we have those instead of premium fees, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I was thinking more of billboards at the side of roads and such, but I's be more than happy with a full screen ad for 5 seconds during login and logout instead of having to pay the premium fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of television commercials every 5 seconds on a television you can't switch to another channel. Would you still like it better than paying $7.50 a month for an ad-free environment?

Phil Deakins Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Alright, alright already. I'll happily continue paying the premium fee for as long as it's useful to me But if I could just have a few ads along the roads instead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateBar Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 When we double click the icon on the home screen all that info starts loading up in the grey box then it goes through the log in screen, just saying if that spinning gold coin were replaced it could save a few megabytes per update, nice idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenMichelle Lane Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Dear Chocolate Bar, The purpose of my 2 posts was to point out the irony of the suggestion in a polite way. The whole point of encouraging a member read the changes in the Terms of Service is to give Linden Lab an opportunity to avoid prima facie legal issues. You have to accept the Terms of Service to continue to use the services. What better time to do this then at Login time. Thus the TOS needs to be delivered to your PC per current legal thinking to satisfy the legal notion of "Informed Consent". Of course you don't have to read them but you accept them "as delivered" and are governed by them when you press that [ ACCEPT ] button. So there is no way to avoid the upload of the TOS to your PC at login time when Linden Lab needs to cover itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For other people this does not work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You keep forgetting, I don't have memory issues. You, on the other hand, seem to forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
