Ok, so, I guess this is a new feature that I wasn't paying attention. But it's now caught my eye, as the other night I was standing around with some others, and we all received a texture from someone who was not in the area, and none of us had calling cards for?

Now, i'm not sure who this was, or how it was accomplished (perhaps an object giving inventory by keys and just going through a long list of keys?)

Needless to say, I did not know the person, and I certainly did not want to receive this texture from him. More importantly, I definitely did not care to see the 'content' of this texture.

It seems to me, that we have basically implemented pop-ups by putting this feature in. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find this to be a "very bad thing". I much preferred the accept & open/accept/decline choice. It was bad enough flying past automated notecard-giving advertisements that gave inventory on sensor, but now I actually have to see the contents of this too?

How about a toggle for this feature? Or even better:

How about some options on it.

Auto-decline/Auto-accept/Prompt/Prompt with preview notecards/textures from players you have no calling card for.
Auto-decline/Auto-accept/Prompt/Prompt with preview notecards/textures from players who's calling card you do have.
Auto-decline/Auto-accept/Prompt/Prompt with preview notecards/textures from objects you own
Auto-decline/Auto-accept/Prompt/Prompt with preview notecards/textures from objects you do not own.

You get the general idea ;)
