Yesterday I bought land (set to sell only to me) for group using the 'old' system, fine, no problems.

Today I bought land, also set sell only to me, got this snazzy new dialogue box which WILL NOT allow me to buy for group! WHY NOT? This sort of thing could easily have forced me into a half sim level tier upgrade!


From: Zero Linden
Buying land for a group is still accessed the same way it was before: In the About Land dialog there is a Buy for Group button, which is enabled if you an officer of your currently active group. When you hit that button, the new buy dialog will appear, but it will say in large letters near the top "Buy land for Group".




Well, what do YOU think?

Yeah, well according to Zero there's nothing wrong with the new land system and us 'old hands' need to get our heads round the nice shiny new system... Which is kind of difficult seeing as IT DOESN'T WORK for this particular, and rather common, transaction.

Lindens are mere mortals .. I think sometimes our expectations of them are a bit overly high.

I am sure if you follow up and explain he will apologize and escalate this rather critical bug if there is no workaround.

Hey, I reported it (about 24 hours ago). He 'explained' it was OK - i.e. 'user error'

Others have reported it since. It's still broken.

If someone gets a report something's broken, the smart move is to CHECK... You never know, some of the idiot customers might just know what they are talking about.

Zero Linden said he was new and in my opinion comes across as a smart alec with bad people skills.

I know he didn't test your bug, Doc, because I did and got the same result you are getting.
