"Can't complete attachment"

I just logged into SL, and I am missing my hair and my skirt! I found them in my inventory and tried to 'wear', but a message for both came up (in the little blue message box) "Can't complete attachment. Attachment is pending for that spot". I've never come across this before.

Any thoughts? Is this just one of the many issues the Lindens have been tending to today?

Well, I'm not getting that one today, myself, but I've gotten it many times in the past when there are problems communicating between the asset server and whatever sim I'm in. You *might* have better luck if you can make your way to another sim--if you fly high enough, nobody will see you hairless and unskirted. If that doesn't work, though, it wouldn't be too surprising, and gives you the opportunity to re-experience the joy of non-prim hair and skirt.

Hey, thanks! I traveled to another sim and tried to attach and it worked just fine.

I'm not sure if I am up to the wide array of adventures that going hairless and skirtless would bring!

I get this a lot, especially if the sim I am in is very laggy or my connection is about to go downhill. Usually, I swap out the attachment I was trying to attach/reattach by attaching a new one. Sometimes this works, sometimes is does not.

And to add to what Qie said: If they see you skirtless and hairless, ah, well... it's no worse than the box on the head! We'll laugh at you, but you'll have gone through a rite of passage in the process!

Yeah, I had tried to wear a totally different do, with no luck til I went to another place.

I did notice a few wayward glances toward my Star Trekky head.
