i was just about ready to roam from my home and was logged out with a message there was trouble on the sim.. i waited 10 minutes came back and all was good. Or so i thought. i went to change clothing, typed in a keyword. and found my inventory went from 39,540 itemez to 9,540 items. i have cleared the cache. in both the Sl and Emerald and nothing. i have a NC that gives a possible solution. Does not know hot to get to the Beta Grid, went to help Island and no help at all. so now what do i do?

i am talking about alot *let me repete that * ALOT * on real US money....

i did help as does Any with this problem.

Can anyone help out??

Not new, it was just your turn :) They were doing some scheduled maintenance on one of the inventory servers this morning, your account was on that server. Your stuff will be back when they are finished.

You will want to do a couple of things. First, tell at least one of the viewers to use a custom cache folder under the network tab of preferences. Emerald and other viewers are not good about sharing caches.

Next, get rid of the cached inventory. Either you can manually empty the cache folders for both viewers (from your operating system), or you can find the *.gz files in each of those folders and just delete those.

Finally, log in at a very quiet/empty sim to give the inventory a chance to load fully. SL has a longstanding bug where it will prematurely give up on sending inventory to the viewer when packets are lost.
