Is anyone else getting this issue? I've been a puff of smoke the past thirty to forty minutes. I've logged in and out countless times, can't access my appearance. I've also tried ctrl+alt+r which also hasn't seemed to have done much good. My friends say, however, on their end my avatar is fully loaded and NOT a puff of smoke.

What do I do to make this stop?

*~*~*~*~

I've even tried restarting my computer and I'm STILL a puff of smoke. I even have my login set to my HOME but it brings me back to the JCNY jewelry store. I don't understand why it's doing this. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of...

Try clearing your cache and relogging, if you haven't.

Preferences > Network > Clear Cache, then relog.

Keep clearing your cache. It sometimes takes more than once or twice. You can also take the time to reset your modem and/or router.........those two devices can also cause what you are seeing. Do that by unplugging them from the electric outlet and leaving them unplugged for about 5 minutes then plugging them back in. It's not completely necessary to turn off your computer but if after the router/modem come back online your computer does not automatically connect you will have to reboot........so I usually turn off my computer.

Try
turning your modem, router, and computer off for a few minutes,
turn them back on,
then log in at a different sim,
do Advanced, Character, Character Tests, Test Male or Test Female,
then clear cache,
and then restart, logging in at yet another different sim.

Nothing has worked. I think I'm just going to give up for the night and hope that it works tomorrow. Thank you all for your help, I'll keep these suggestions in mind next time something like this happens again.

It sounds very similar to another poster here: /111/a3/310254/1.html
perhaps you're experiencing the same problem?
