This should have been posted last night.

At about 16:40 yesterday one of our http proxy servers spontaneously restarted itself and caused some (but not all) sims to be unable to save items to inventory. We fixed the problem for the affected sims that we could find, however a few were missed.

I made another pass this morning and restarted the sims I could find, but it is possible that there are still a few out there. If you think you know of a sim that is suffering from this problem please send me an IM in-world.


This is how you test to see if a sim is affected:

(1) press ALT+1 to bring up some debug stats (use ALT+1 to toggle the stats off again)

(2) if the "simulator" stats aren't open, click on the word "simulator" to open them up

(3) look for a stat called "pending uploads". If it is sitting at a non-zero value then the sim is probably suffering from this problem. It if at zero, then you need to test further...

(4) rez a box

(5) take the box

(6) watch the "pending uploads", if it goes to 1 and does not drop to zero almost immediately and the box did not show up in your inventory within a few seconds then the sim is suffering from this problem.

(7) please send me an IM with the name of the sim affected
