But..I don't want to stand up!

What has happened to the bug found with forcing you to stand up from a sitting position when changing clothes? Can you provide a status? /invalid_link.html From: Jillian Callahan Why is it whan we change clothes - bake a new texture for the avatar - if the av is sitting, it's unseated? From: Andrew Linden This is a bug... of sorts. What is really happening is that all modifications of the avatar go through a particular path in the code that also tries to rescale the avatar's size. The reason all of the avatar changes are grouped together in one spot is that back in the day we didn't have drag-and-drop outfit changes -- the only way to change your clothes was to go into Appearance Edit mode. Since you can change your size in Appearance Mode and back then we didn't have code to handle resizing the avatar while it is sitting you would be forced to stand first. It is fixable. We'll try to work it into the schedule.

You and me both... you know something, the first time this happened to me, changing clothes when I was seated at an event at Stage 4 (wayyy back), I totally freaked out because I thought I was going to ruin and disrupt the show for everyone. I had no idea my avatar would do this! I still feel the same way today, and since Andrew knows all about this one, I'm going to show this to him for any further info. _____________________
