Do alternative viewers work with the new filters?

Hi all. I have read the articles by Nicholaz and Boy Lane regarding this question, but just had to experiment.

Using the standard 1.23.4, I logged in and applied appropriate changes to view adult content. Logged out and applied JB Kraft's Dark Skin (my favorite) and relogged. this skin is not yet updated for the new filtering.

In preferences I had the option (already checked) for all three categories of parcel rating. Checking search, however, I find that I only have the old checkbox for "show mature content."

A search in shopping using a keyword that I knew would set off the adult filter gave me this message:

"Some terms in your search query were excluded due to content restrictions as clarified in the Community Standards."

Works for me with cool viewer, did you have all three checkboxes ticked when you logged out of the official viewer?

Yes. A further search, using the word "beds" brought on a whole bunch of stuff that was obviously adult.

In cool viewer please enter the word "F**k" (I think we all know what to replace : > )

See what happens.

That was my test word ;)

Results 1 - 10 of about 4610 for f**k (0.059565 seconds)

: > Strange that I got a different response. Will try with Cool viewer when I am sober again. Spent fathers day with dod and put away a bit of very vintage single malt Scotch (his fave).

Works for me on the newer Cool SL Viewer as well.

Heh, couldn't wait. Works as well for me in Cool Viewer, but not in official with different skin.

Probably not significant as LL is on record as saying that alternate viewers that do not support the new adult content changes will be disabled in the near future.
