How do you deactivate all your gestures at once? I have 2 gestures active that I can't find anywhere to deactivate and keep getting errors saying "Gesture is missing from database." when I log in.

Seems when the database takes a crap and fails to restore, many nasty things happen to your inventory and this is one of those, IMO. I have one active with no corresponding gesture to de-activate. It is a PITA, and I suspect something of an SL bug which should be reported.

FWIW, you may try a search for ";(active" do not include quotes and do not close the parenthesis . . . That "should" show you all your active gestures, which you can disable one-by-one with the database gotch'a listed above as the stopper.

I was just thinking the other day that it would be nice to have a way to turn gestures on and off all at once. I guess I could type a / when I start typing but I think there is still a chance a gesture would play. I have hundreds of active gestures and if I go to a RP sim I have to be very careful when I type. Maybe I'll have to propose a new feature.
