Huh: I hadn't even noticed that the Edit tool now has no "More" / "Less" button--I'd always run it open ("More";), and that sometimes led to confusion when explaining to newbies ("What 'General' tab???";), so on balance it's an improvement to have that option gone, for my purposes.

I'm not sure quite what is the process "hit the tp links in blogs i read to get the landmark inworld." Depending on what that means, on Firefox (at least), there's an about:config setting for network.protocol-handler.app.secondlife that might need updating to point to the new release. I've no clue about other browsers.

Probably not helpful, but: you know you can minimize the Edit window, right? The arrows still work, etc.--the object is still selected in the Editor, but the window itself is out of the way. Lately I've been doing stuff that requires repeated object Edit selection, copying and renaming and dragging from Inventory, resetting two scripts, copying text from Local Chat and pasting it into a notecard while sitting on, touching, and standing from in-world objects; if I couldn't minimize windows, I'd be in a straightjacket now.
