A friend and I were wondering, why is it that most of our calling cards have (no copy) (no modify) appended to them? And is there a way to clear that off?
Strangely, the person I put down as my referrer to SL just has the name on the card. Kind of funky.

It might just be a bug with your friend. I could not see any profile info on anyone earlier, just their name and online status.
I never noticed cards being no copy, could be a bug as well, but you cant trade them anyway. You have to trade cards in person.

One annoying thing I have noticed since 1.6 is that the main IM window that lists your calling cards quite often only has a few entries listed in it when I login, and this never seems to change. I have to open my inventory to see who's online or not, as it's not just those online that are appearing in that main IM window - just seems to be only the first few calling cards in my list. It's kind of annoying really.

LOL that happened to me yesterday, I opened my im window to see who was online and it was just me and Jack Linden (WAHAY), then i started to see in main chat that ppl were going OFFLINE so I thought uh... hang on, opened up my IM window again and lo and behold about 30 ppl were on *sigh*

DEFINITELY something odd here. Most of my cards have (no modify) (no transfer) next to them, indicating the perms crystal clearly, but I've found at least a couple that are blank and show old-style behavior.
I don't think it's needed to show these permissions, as it's quite obvious as you learn the system, PLUS, it interferes with viewability of your friends's names. So I'm puzzled as to why it's been included.
I also noticed the IM window not showing all of my contacts... I crossed some sims and relogged and that seemed to fix it for me ever since but I know of some people who are having more persistent probs. Ack.

Friend status now appears to be on a delayed load, just as inventory is. Bringing up the "New IM" box upon login, very few friends are listed. Pressing Ctrl-T then Ctrl-T (I'm a keyboard kinda person) causes a refresh of the "New IM" list. This morning (0500 Linden Time) with a very lightly loaded world it took a few minutes for the "New IM" list to populate. The "New IM" tab does not automatically refresh (and I never noticed if it used to).

Then again, last night there were other issues at play too  My friend was complaining that the permissions make it hard for her to see if someone's online or not in her calling card list. I was on my way out at the time so I didn't ask her if the names changed in color (grey to white) and fot weight (regular to bold) on her list. Unless she was referring to whatever pops up with the "friends" button that I've never used, hmm. *shifty look* |
