So there I am at the Tube2SL Machinima group meeting and decide to log off for supper. 5 minutes ago, I decide it's time to log on again as I've got a live music show scheduled at 3PM SL time. AND the login screen tells me I need a new version of the viewer. OK.... so I go to download it and nothing happens. Good going guys. So when are you gonna put the required new version up there for us?

Yep... the download page is completely broken :\

So which version were you loggin on with originally. Even though the login screen says something about a Viewer Update Required, I was able to login okay with the 1.19.0.5 and 1.19.1.4 and the RC 1.20.6.86925 -- so.... I'm thinking that an update is not really required.

And yes, the download page does appear to be broken.

I was using the previous 'latest' version. Oddly I've managed to log in using RC 1.20.5. Yes, I got the same 'Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Log In Until You Download The Latest Version' screen but was able to log in anyway. Nope, it doesn't make sense.

Yep.... Got the same shebang here. The download page is broken. It just goes in circles every time you click on a link.

Hmmm..... is this a new form of trickery from our old grid-crashers?

I think that would be kind of obvious too LL rather quickly.

We are talking about LL right.....

I doubt anything is obvious to them and not quickly obvious for sure...

never hurts to report it (and why am I not reporting it, cuz I am not getting any errors or prompts to report)

That now seems likely as there hasn't been any response from LL yet about these problems. I've gotten rid of all the SL related files that I can find on my computer just in case it's something sinister (i.e. a hacker). I've never seen something like this on SL. I know there is no new releases because LL said that this RC would be the last one before it becomes the main download.

Looks like this is the official start of the weekend!

Hmm it's fixed now, I just found I ignored the update notice and got in anyway.
