Sometimes my AV changes to female after a TP. Happened about 5 times now. Hair color and other things change too. Also Others can see it as well. All I have to do to change it back is open appearance and close it and when it asks to save changes say no. Any ideas?

Its a bug thats being around almost as long as SL has. Just going into apearance usually sorts it, best to keep spare copies of your avatar just in case though.. _____________________

Yep, this has been happening forever. It's a well-known bug. Relogging fixes it.
I've also had it happen to me just when crossing a sim boundary. Here's a Ruth'd pic of me from July of last year.   _____________________

1. Go into appearence
2. You'll notice you have a choice to save (DON'T) 3. Close appearence. 4. When prompted to save say NO. |

I think the first time that this happened to me was in Oct 04. I tried to enter Sim Horror without proper authorization and it pushed me to the side of the sim and Ruth'd me.
Of course, at the time, I didn't know about the bug and I just thought it was part of the show.  _____________________

I searched the site first and checked known issues. Guess it's hidden somewhere.
 Problem is it's happening more frequently as time goes by. Also I've noticed on my slower computer that I seem to show up "Ruthed" and then change to me. SO I suspect packet loss causes it. Seems like they'd just code in a check or resend after 10 seconds to be sure, or something. |

Definitely, bug report it if it's happening frequently. It happens to me about once every 3 months. _____________________
