In a shameless attempt for an answer:
/139/35/152018/1.html posted December 1st, without an LA (yes, I was a good girl and waited).
I have reinstalled, cleared cache etc. and my items are still not returned from the update on Nov. 29th. I've read all the fluff about this and that... how the items are not *really* lost and eventually they will turn up. Well, it's almost 2 weeks later, should I give up on them 'turning up' like so many Lindens posted about?
I've did the IM to Linden thing, I've done the bug report, all to be ignored.
I'm not trying to raise hell, I'm just wondering if it's gone forever and I will need to rebuy the items. I've been waiting for someone to tell me what's going on before I drop that kinda cash again, if it's coming back within some sort of reasonable time frame.
