Last night I flew into... Olive I think it was and the sim crashed, throwing me out of SL with a message about mangled data. Logging back in, I was still in the same place, so the sim crashed immediately again with the same message. After thinking for a minute - obviously this was location-specific - I needed to be somewhere else to get out of this server-trouble-created bear trap. (or cat trap, in my case  ) So logging in, I temporarily set my preferences to log me in at my home instead of my last location. Problem solved, I was free. This may seem rather elementary to some of you, but it was just a realization I came to and I thought I should share it. If this happens to you, you can use this technique to get back in immediately instead of having to wait for the server to be fixed. |

You may also find that approach useful when a plot security device has ejected you so violently that you're no longer in any known sim space, even though the client visuals seem to think that you're still in the same zone as before.
The client is certainly left badly confused about your whereabouts, and the server doesn't seem interested in enlightening it with some sort of sync update. Logging out and logging back in at home seems the only way to put the poor software out of its misery.

i don't think it's elementary at all......i had exactly the same problem last week. live help could not help me & neither could support through linden e-mail. it was finally a friend who accidentally happened on the solution.

yes, it can be used, except the times where your home sim is down and your last location is in that same sim.
A "safer" method that is oftern overlooked is to force yourself into a specific location by linking through your web-browser.
Just enter the location you want to go to in the address field of your browser, like :

Raphael, that's a great way of doing it. Kex Godel first taught me how to do that -- although on my end, there seems to be a bit of strangeness: numerical coordinates are entered properly, but sim region is not and I have to specify that manually in SL.
