When I start the SL client, the client displays a random screenshot from some interesting place in SL. I often think: "Gee, I'd like to go there and explore." Is there a web page or some other location with LMs to these starting screenshots?

Thanks in advance.

edit: sorry, misunderstood the question. I'm not sure on the LMs but I'll send a note to Torley suggesting it, I'm sure he'd agree it's needed.

Yes, we get this question a lot. Although some people will recognize some of them it sure would be useful if it would be added to the splash screen.

I couldn't agree with this more. It's the worst kind of tease.

And I only like the *good* kind of teasing.

I agree! I keep seeing such neat pictures on the login screen and I have also been wondering who the people are in the pictures. Just like the Lindens to keep us guessing.

Can't help with the LMs, but here is a link to Torley's flickr stream which has most of the login screens on it:

Ghostly, were you able to send a note to Torley? If so, what was his reply?

Just curious, but the lovely splash screens have stopped showing up on my desktop machine. I haven't changed anything that I know of...I just get a black screen and my login line at the bottom. My laptop works just fine and I still get it there, even when I log in as Jackie. Jackie
