I've noticed a lot of black squares everywhere lately. Has there been an ecological disaster--perhaps the grounding of an oil tanker--or is that some attempt at having shadows? Please let me know right away. If it's a spill, I'll go buy lots of Dawn dishwashing liquid and start scrubbing Alek's chicken.

It's called packet loss, and it means that some of the data from the server has failed to arrive.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

SUPER Chicken is above such ecological disasters!!

Anyway, I think Skippy's duck needs more scrubbing, since Strongbad rejected it and it has no super powers...

This is a bug, not packet loss. Ive seen this too with no packet loss. Report it with as many specifics as you can. They are trying to nail it down. I reported it and got an email requesting more info and that they were aware of it.

Is this about the black square on the ground? They show up on the map, too, right? I only got it once...I told Jenn Linden, she never heard of it. It was weird

I reported it too... But I guess I fixed it by doing a clean install of SL. Uninstall it then install it new and they're gone.

OK! Whats wrong with my duck. Just because Strongbad rejected him, you want it to die in an OIL spill? How very evil little one. How very evil!
