Hey all. I'm having a bit of trouble with a skin...I'm trying to apply the same texture to all three "tattoo" portions of my skin, but it (apparently randomly choosing which one or ones) will only allow certain ones to show up...the ones it "doesn't like" show up as this mildly disorienting Matrixy green-black pattern. Am I missing something, or is this a bug, or...? I've tried relogging a couple of times, to no avail.

It would be helpfull if you can post an example of the texture you are wearing. I would need to see how the texture looks on your Avie to give you a proper assesment of what I think might be happeneing.

Do you have any other apps open that might be using up part of your video ram? Sometimes when that happens, the viewer will make textures tile strangely, or be replaced by random bits of your screen. It could also be jpeg corruption caused by heavy packet loss when you're uploading, though I've yet to see that happen with jpegs uploaded to SL.

I once encountered someone who experienced a similar problem after trying to drag a full skin into the texture box of another skin. Could that be what you are doing? If it's already a skin and not 3 individual textures, just double click it in your inventory to put it on.
