Landmark Pin Colors...

...what is the difference between the red Landmarks and the purple ones? I mean, other than that there are a whole bunch more purple ones?

Just a goofy little question.

This is answered in the Knowledge Base, which of course is difficult to link to. Here is the info...

***** Knowledge Base article *****

Why do Landmarks come in two different colors?

If you've looked in your Inventory > Landmarks folder, you may have noticed some of the pushpin icons are bright red, while others are a faded, almost purple tone.

Here's the difference:
Bright red landmarks are ones you've teleported to. They probably won't change to that color until after you relog.

Faded mauve landmarks are ones you haven't been to yet.

An easy way to test is:

- Go to a parcel of land you can create landmarks on.

- Select World menu > Create Landmark Here twice.

- Then, in your Inventory > Landmarks folder, teleport to one of those landmarks (right-click it, Teleport To Landmark) and relog.

- Look at your landmarks again.

See the difference?

Of course, this is how it is SUPPOSED to work. In my experience, most of the landmarks I use frequently have never changed to red.

I appreciate that Ava

No problem... I just wish it worked properly.

This is interesting. I never noticed this color difference, probably because mine are all dusty mauve all the time, visited or otherwise. Maybe they'll turn red after my friends list finishes downloading -- which it's been doing for several months now.

Not complaining. I already know which landmarks I've been to.
