Horray, Jira requests work! I noticed a feature request I made some time ago has been implemented, and Ban Line visibility is now just a "View > Banlines" menu item away.
I had parcels in mind when I made this request, i.e. you can chill out at your favorite personal zone without seeing red police tape outside of it.
I'd love to know how other people enjoy this feature. Coco Linden managed the implementation and I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, so she gets the thanks.
So, Thanks, Coco.

I'd love to know how other people enjoy this feature. Ban line visibility distance: OFF [===========>--] 256m [x] See my own ban lines. For people who use vehicles this is a slap in the face. _____________________

some people have requested that, and you should request or vote for more flexibility in the feature, but as stated, this initial iteration was for parcels in mind. Iterative Development... start by making the feature work in general, then tune it over time.

Every time they do something useful, they break something else. This time they got rid of the MORE button in the Edit Window, so we're stuck with the long Edit window and can't collapse it. As a builder, I think the ability to collapse the Edit window is extremely helpful to hide the tabs while keeping the window still open.

I suppose it was too much to ask for them to do away with ban lines altogether on the mainland.

oh geesh, that giant edit box can't be somewhat tamed anymore? suckville.
I suppose I can leave it open to reduce the number of visible gray textures and deformed sculpties. _____________________

Regarding Court's custom title "Some College", that reminds me, I was looking at some obscure social network profile of mine, something pretty obscure, and I noticed that I had somehow selected from a dropdown box "Some Jr. High" as my educational level.
"Some Jr. High"? what kind of an educational level category is that? _____________________
