I got a friend who's newer to SL than me. One of the things I told her about is Radars. I gave her a free one and it worked well....some hours. Then it shows up on other ppl's screens (and her screen too) as the names of avatars detected is floating on her dress. Moves as she moves. Very irritating.

I told her to take it off and delete it, and I gave her another one (I have 3 different free radars). That one worked well in the start, and the same thing happens. I know at last two others has seen it and given her a radar. Same thing happens with their radars. Mighty weird. I tell her to just click on "Wear" and she doesn't attach it to something. Still, twice I saw the radar itself float in the air next to her side. At the same time as the names suddenly show up on her avatar.

If this happend the same second as she put on the rader, she obviously was doing something wrong. But it happens after she's wearing the radar some time. Any suggestions of what's wrong?

Hello there girl... check it hasnt moved off her hud to her bum after a tp. My hud based things have been doing that a bit lately.

Usually it is my hair that does that...

First thing i thought about was that she didn't use "wear" but attached it to some attachment point. Sha say she just use "wear".

Can it just be changed to a new placement? My radars newer did that. LOL...she isn't so vain as me, I keep telling her to use the camera controls and check herself. Still, she has those names floating on her. I just want to tear them off her!
