It's having problems.
I'd not invest too much time on it till it gets over the LL acquisition. I guess we might should be glad it's not coupled at all to the SL 3D world. _____________________

Picture thumbnails appear to be broken as well as updates disappearing.

Then I'm sure they'll really f**k it up. No they won't. It came that way. It simply wasn't designed to handle the volume. Don't Worry. Be Happy. A few Wednesday closedowns for maintenance, and we ( eh... you) will be fine. _____________________

I'm sure it will become unborked in time.
I'm more interested in the fact -- which I mentioned in the other thread, but that got overlooked or ignored there -- that I got a pop up screen entitled "Avatars United Survey" that wanted me to answer all sorts of questions about my RL. I didn't fill it out, which doesn't seem to have had any ramifications . . . Anyone else seen this yet? _____________________

In order to enhance your AU experience, we are restricting the RL survey facility temporarily.
Many people have been asked for this. It is these silent voices, the millions of people who have yet to sign up that we will be listening to, _____________________

I had to give Firefox the okay for the blocked pop-up window, but that's what was in it, sited at surveymonkey. I closed it automatically after seeing what it was, but now I wish I'd looked more closely to see if they promise anonymity of responses or anything. |

We were waiting to see how you felt about being the only one to get the survey. Yeah, I got it. I had to give Firefox the okay for the blocked pop-up window, but that's what was in it, sited at surveymonkey. I closed it automatically after seeing what it was, but now I wish I'd looked more closely to see if they promise anonymity of responses or anything. First thoughts can be quite good. "to see if they promise ..." That's crazy talk! Even if they do appear to promise anything, classic standard boilerplate for everything is that if they sell the company to anybody, the new owner p0wns (or whatever that geekspeak thing is) your data. I never volunteer information. People who don't volunteer information don't really worry the corporate muppets, as long as we are not statistically significant. _____________________

People who don't volunteer information don't really worry the corporate muppets, as long as we are not statistically significant. The possibility of a better world depends upon us (the non-volunteerers of personal information) becoming statistically significant. _____________________

Ummm ..... what is there to actually DO on it right now? Ever since I signed up it has just been a constant stream of requests to unite but I have yet to find much content there.

It has not worked for me at all. Maybe their Captcha is puppy proof. I don't think I'll put any more effort into it unless these forums close.
No matter. I got along fine before all this social networking overkill. I used to read novels, paint purty pitchers, try my hand at writing stories, created future histories, and even tried writing a little music. I kind of miss being that person. I'm still going to enjoy the wonders of SL though. That is a given. . _____________________

I wonder if Linden Lab/Avatar United gave Emerald access to their participant data. I got that too; I deleted it/ignored the request to 'unite' with it, after first being sure there was no actua av on SL named: Emerald Viewer. You know how people get cutesy with the names sometimes. _____________________

I accepted it.
But then, I'm absolutely desperate not to seem like the most unpopular girl on the block. If it's got a pulse, I'll befriend it! Come to think of it . . . "uniting" with !Emerald Viewer! sort of proves that I'm not even THAT picky, I guess . . .  _____________________

I wonder if Linden Lab/Avatar United gave Emerald access to their participant data. If they did, they failed. They sent me a request, and I've never used Emerald. So I figure it's just someone adding friends. _____________________
