Using version 1.23 I've noticed the bright/dark levels seem different, also everywhere seems misty.
Standing in a bright area at 12pm, I switched the environment to midday & it didn't match..then i went through all of the options (sunrise, sunset, night,etc) - none of them matched ??
Also, face lights don't seem to show up anymore.

Anyone else having this?

Yayyyyyy!

Perhaps they have been disabled by default and you need to go into 'Advanced>Rendering>Attached Lights' to activate them?

Nope, I just tried that.. It was enabled.
Curiously - disabling it didn't have any effect at all

EDIT: I've also got a bright follow light for use in dark places.. Thats packed up too :(

Oh, & my hair glows with freaky brightness in the dark...

/me sighs.

Instead of maybe educating people that they're wearing a bazillion-watt face light, let's just hide every light on every avatar everywhere...
