For the past two days when I first log in in the afternoon all of my objects (with one exception) that had phantom status are no longer phantom.

I am having the same problem. Answer me this if you would. Can a object with more than 1 prim say 5, can 3 of those be phantom and 2 not. or does the entire object reset its self?

a simple two line script just setting the object to phantom will completely solve the problem (you don't even have to check the current state, just put it in the default res event and it'll stay phantom forever)

The unphantoming was a bug. Found and stomped. Will be fixed in the next patch release.

So, once again, you won't need to use scripts to make/keep things phantom.

This is most likely overkill, but it should solve the problem quite full-proof-ly (is that a word?):

CODE

phantom(){
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHANTOM, TRUE);
}

default{
state_entry(){
phantom();
llSetTimerEvent(300);
}
timer(){
phantom();
}
}

Once the bug fix is posted (probably tomorrow) you won't need to use a script at all. Just check the "Phantom" checkbox.

Now if only I could procedurally scan the contents of all my objects to look for leftover "Phantom" scripts. :)

I only remember the few that I've added recently to combat the bugged checkbox. :)
