I know they cant weigh THAT much. So far places that I have fallen through the floors of buildings are:

- My first house
- My second house (muhhaha third house has yet to get me)
- Ingibee's house (same spot btw.. walk past the elevator straight thru the next room and thwack I fall thru the floor)
- Boardwalk (2 spots, one facing the boardwalk sign walking into the area, another on the opposite side behind some of the games)

Will add anymore I encounter along the way..

As far as i can tell - this is a by product of changing your height and how SL handles collision with objects. If your above avergae height it seems to still "see" you as average when standing on user built objects. This causes your feet to extend into the object - you dont fall through them but youll sink to the "average" height point it the object is thick enough. This doesnt happen on the ground of the sim so you dont sink. In the sections of the path where you dont sink the ground is close to the surface of the path. as a tall avatar myself ive been hoping for this fix - but its not a real priority since its not a crash of performance issue

No no.. I don't just sink down until I'm the average height.. I literally fall through the floor and crash onto the ground below! Like the spot at ingi's house, I think its a 2nd sort of floor and when I fall thru, I fall for a couple feet and fall onto the ground below, get up and walk away.. or the one at the boardwalk I actually fell underneath the boardwalk and became trapped under the floor in a little pothole of ground. I had to teleport to a landmark to get out. :P

parts of the boardwalk is built over a sim boundary. the sim is the actual computer server handling your avatar, and can be seen as a highlighted square on your minimap. the boundaries between sims are still a bit.. beta. ;) if you fall through a spot on the boardwalk again, you *should* be able to fly straight up and through the same spot.
