Community page > Second link down on the left = Forums

That's where I found it and have used that link most of the time.

As the AOL users say... ME TOO.

That is how I navigate to the forums.

Likely that spelling was intentional. They knew they could trade mark sqare much easier then square.

Nah. Robin said they were revamping and keeping them and she always follows through when she says something.

Lol! You may be right ... but it has only been 2 weeks since then. For someone like Katt, just starting with a pile of rather diverse responsibilities on her desk, that's just the blink of an eye.

If I were Robin, I would have asked Katt to have a forum plan which has been reviewed by some key peers on my desk in a month. So, maybe she's working on the first draft now.

Yes, it's only been a year since they said they were "looking into" getting rid of landbots.

If they get rid of the bots, who else is going to give them concurrency numbers when logins are disabled.

A lot of the links in Resident Links are repeated in the left-hand menu. "Forums" is not one of those. Perhaps it's to keep more people from joining in the lawsuit.

Maybe they should remove the big red "Join the Lawsuit" button.

They have also spelt 'Square' in peak land usage as 'Sqare' Tried to raise a ticket for it but as I can't find a category for typoose I gave up. I tried live chat but they were off-line. I have just sent a letter to the Oxford and Cambridge dictionary to change the spelling of 'Square' to 'Sqare' as I think that will be the most expediant course of action. I also cc'd the Queen of England to rename Parliment square to Parliment Sqare.
.....Oh, just had a reply from the Queen..
'Sorry, due to server issues our Buck' house server is off-line. This is due to more than 3 people trying to access it at the same time. If you continue to encounter this error please contact support. In the meantime, why not download our newest viewer which will enhance your experience. Please be advised that this is not tested but we have released it anyway. Oh, also, if you run a business, be advised we have changed the search engine so no-one can find you.

Maybee HRH would have replied sooner had you spelled Parliament correctly.

Damn straight! If it comes from a Linden you can bet your house on it. Follow through is the best strength they have as a company.

seriously, how hard was it keeping your face straight when you typed that?

Hey! Don't you call me jabber-jaws!
And if you do, explain me what it means in normal anglish. When I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary I was kinda surprised, because without pics to prove you can't call me that

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jabber+Jaws
So either you have a damn good other translation, or pics to prove you are right and I was drunk LOL. Don't try to tell me the Urban Dictionary isn't the best source of information, if it's written on the Internet it's true. If it's written on the blog, it's even true-er

Cheers, Marcel

By the way if traffic really becomes problematic, we could always implement a few traffic bots to keep this place easy to find

Might also be the 1st step in getting rid of the fourms

I really don't think so - it has just grouped things together under more logical headings - the Forums belong to the community; information under Account is just for you.

FWIW, I think the Statement option looks useful.

new layout at www.secondlife.comsorta hides Forums link

The new (within the last day or 3) layout at www.secondlife.com no longer has a top-level link to the forums - it's under Community now.

It would be nice if a link to the forums could be re-added to the navigation area on the left side of pages.

QFT

What do the forums have to do with my account and why should there be a direct link to them there? That belongs on the community page where it now is.

Some people just like to find crap to cry about
