I was stood outside my shop yesterday and I brought up my mini map. I noticed some blue blocks had appeared out of nowhere. I just checked again and more have showed up.
Anyone know what they are?

The blue blocks are objects that you created and own

I knew about the blue.. but last night I saw a red or bright pink spot (on the mini map) in my garden....when I walked to it there was a stump with a sitting poseball in it. Was this just an SL glitch? I have never seen the pink/red before.

eh? That's confusing because I've had my store there for like 2 weeks and they weren't there before??

They just appeared overnight...

The red/pink/fuscia color indicates am object set to group.

An update on the blue block situation - half of them just dissapeared!

OMG.

What is going on? SL confuses me so much. I think I need a lie down.

It's group owned. If you just set the group, they're still yours and will show up as blue. You have to deed them to make them go red..

Apparently they have crossed that system with the Friends Online web page. It just doesn't seem to really know these days who is online and who isn't - and it changes it's mind quite randomly, but not necessarily correctly.

It depends on what else is near them...

For example, if I build a house, and all the prims are mine, I see solid blue there, and my Partner sees dark grey.

If my Partner puts a bed inside the house, my roof prims are stil above it, and so *most of the time*, they won't se the position of the bed, and neither will I.

But depending on the exact angle of the view and zoom distance, sometimes items "show through".
