Create does not work

When you create something....it locks up and wont let you dlete it. when you take stuff out of inventory ....they get stuck and you cant put them back. What is up with this? Who else is having this issue ?

This sounds like 'ghosting' to me - usually a result of packet loss in the connection, if i am not mistaken.

Hover your mouse over the object - does it come up with 'retrieving' instead of an object name and owner? if so, it's gone - and is just ghosted in your view. A relog will take care of it.

It can get tedious if you are building, true, but i don't know of any other way to fix ghosting.

Anyone else?

To make sure something's actually ghosted, edit it and look for the owner information. If nobody owns it, (because it's not actually there) you can safely assume it's a ghost. Alternatively, you can walk through it. Because ghosts don't exist on the server, physics don't affect them.

What I usually do, once I determine that it is a ghost, is go to Edit; Object and in the object's position, Z, I enter 1000 and POOF! out of sight, out of mind. It actually is gone because it wasn't really there.

I do the opposite, and drive it into the ground. Either way, same result.

However, Ken's problem doesn't exactly sound like it's a ghosting problem

Ken, can you give us more specific details, or wak through step by step how the problems occurs?

I send my ghsts into the stratosphere too, though if someone else was nearby when the object ghosted (and they see it too) then me moving it won't move theirs. The server won't forward my edit to anyone else because, to the server, I'm making an invalid edit.

Annoying.
