I dunno about you guys, but 95% of the time I've got the sun at high noon for building and whatnot. Always have long before they dug it out of the debug menu and called it a new feature. But now that it's a 'feature', shouldn't this feature remember our settings when we log out? Please?!
And as long as we're talking about sticking:
CAN THE CAMERA CONTROLS STAY OPEN WHEN WE OPEN IT ALREADY?

Yes. I derive no particular joy from having the lighting change from what I consider optimum. We should be able to set a sun position - or have even more flexible and precise adjustment of lighting - and have the setting stay that way till we change it.

We should be able to set a sun position - or have even more flexible and precise adjustment of lighting - and have the setting stay that way till we change it. Yeah, it's pretty annoying to have to reset a bunch of options everytime I start SL up. Override sun, flip on camera controls, sometimes my ctrl+shift+1 window is gone for no particular reason, but it stays most of the time. It gets repetitive. It's surely a trivial thing to throw them in the INI file and make 'em stay. _____________________

Yes to Force Sun settings, and ditto that for the 'Show Owners' check in the Land tab. Really... save user prefs for anything we're setting.

Sure. I also enjoyed the addition of "woo woo" to the thread title.

I have chosen No, because i would set it on noon and then forget it forever, until i enter MC or a other dark sim and realise that i still have it on noon.
Edit: Oh and, Woo Woo.  _____________________

I voted 'no' as lighting can be an intrinsic part of the atmosphere people (especially in estate sims) try to create. This will soon be even more prominent with the addition of hardware lighting in 1.9.1
By making your light settings permanent, you'll miss out on the intended experiences in several areas in SL, without even knowing it. _____________________

Is it really that much work to hit control+shift+y when you log in?

are you talking about that little rectangle with uhm... compass arrows for lack of a better term? mine stay open once i open them... YEs, but when you restart SL they're gone again. And as for the sarcastic snip about the ALT key, yes, that's DANDY, but the camera controls have uses of their own. Additionally, I also run SL under WINE on my laptop (or will again after I fix it) as my primary computer, and ALT+mouse doesn't work because Linux captures alt+drag for other purposes, which is fixable but they're purposes that I'd rather have over the camera functionality in SL. I don't think it's so much to ask that SL remembers what we set it up to do. Additionally, if we don't see something how the creator intended, that's our problem isn't it? And it's going to happen anyway. I run with noon the vast majority of the time anyway. It's become quite the ritual when SL starts up. Restore all my settings, woo! _____________________

I'm alarmed by how many answered "PIE!". Presumably this is "PIE IN THE SKY!"?

Also would be nice if cloud-rendering would stay off until you turn it back on... My homepoint is in the sky and the first thing I do every time I TP home and most times I relog is force noon and turn the clouds off...
