Dear Linden Lab,

Once upon a time I asked in this forum about HUDs in snapshots, specifically their removal as a default option. I was told by Robin Linden that this had been reported as a bug and has been fixed. So I would like to demonstrate now how this fix, two months later, has yet to be implimented in-world:

Click here to view HUDs in snapshot.

I would also like to take this time to direct you to a few threads where you may read about fellow residents annoyance with this feature since its inception.

91002
91117
91339
91372
91672
95560
99570
108922

I am curious to know if you actually plan to remove this feature, as had been indicated the last time I inquired about it. Also, if this time you could actually follow up on when you plan to fix this in-world, since you apparently have had the fix for quite awhile now, that would be nice to know as well.

Thank you,
Pacifien Massiel

First...

I AM SO FREAKIN' HAPPY YOU COMPILED THIS!!!!


Thanx for taking the time, Pacifien.

The situation is as follows: you already know that you can turn off HUDs by toggling VIEW menu > SHOW HUD ATTACHMENTS.

However, that's usably unacceptable for some, because you have to turn 'em on/off over and over. PITA.

I'm going to let LL Development know that in addition to this having been asked for a lot in the community, the "HUDs in snapshots" annoyance has happened over and over--of course I've got your post bookmarked and going to add it to the file we have for this problem.

Please contact me personally (torley@lindenlab.com) if I don't have any news for you by next week, this time.

Addendum: there's a known bug with this which causes it to not work. Already known about and should be fixed soon... we're almost out of the water.
