Sweet, sweet plywood and possible workaround for other texture problems

I was having gawd awful time with the prim default texture not showing and a fugly one showing up instead and a neighbor of mine had problems with it showing black and then the butt fugly one showing up. You can see by the pic what it looks like. Anyways...a possible solution was happened upon. Download the preview and rez a cube to see if you see the plywood(never thought plywood would look so sweet!!) Then go back to main grid and see if your cube rezzes with the plywood texture. If it does....sweeeeeet. They are aware of this little buggy and working on it. But this is a workaround for now.
