Okay - by the way the Grid is back on.:)


Yeah but no L$, map, teleports, search requests, build functions, or anything that actually makes the grid *usable* as far as I can tell :(

I want voice sometimes, but hate how they have destroyed text chat by not allowing seperate windows for IM and local chat.
If people aren't ignoring you by using voice, they're ignoring you because they're in IM, way to kill all social networking guys.........................


Is this why some IM's get sent to my email instead of the im window even when I'm inworld or is that working as intendedl?

Ummm, guys - open communicate window. Click "Near Me" tab. Up near the top right corner of that tab there is a button that if you hover your mouse over will read "Tear off".

Click it.

Boom - seperate windows for IM and local chat.

Just becuase you can't find the feature dosn't mean it's not there :P

Entropy is correct. SL is down as far as anything useful is concerned. I can just change my eye colour. I am trapped. That is what I get for engaging in "dangerous behaviour" :)
And how come YOU know so much and YOU'RE so young Entropy - May 2007? I am old enough to be Your momma. You really don't spend much time fooling around do ya? :)

Question, how do you identify who is who and doing this when it is a lot of people in a large crowd, other than identifying the victim?


Look for their lips moving? :)

Brand spaking noobies need to read the rules before they play. It's not our fault or Linden Labs fault that they don't really the TOS before clicking "accept." It's not anyone's fault that they don't click the word HELP on the top of their screen.



Something said about the wisdom of reproving a fool comes to mind here.

Denial is truly ugly. You were warned. Now that the stuff you were warned about is happening left and right, you're trying to shrug your shoulders and feign insouciance. Figures the only thing that would come out of a voicer's mouth in the end would be "It ain't my fault". Blame the victim right? Nothing ever changes and perhaps the worst mistake anyone could have made is to have expected people with this feature to not be the haughty assclowns they've always been.

The start of all of this absurd malfunctioning was when they said a hearty eff-all to everyone and rolled out that disaster of an update to handle the instantaneous problems created by this almighty precious voice feature. Congrats. You wanted voice, now you've got it. Feel free to use it to discuss how you can no longer do a damned thing with the rest of the application.

Pathetic.

Huh? I never wait I wanted voice, nor was I involved in any way in the decision by Linden Labs to add it. I simply enjoy using it, I'm not the cause of some disaster or the current grid problems or anything like that. I'm just a casual SL player that enjoys using voice chat to talk with some of my friends, nothing more, nothing less. I leave the bigger issues to others. :)

Personally, I believe voice will only appeal to the illiterate.

Is that right?

SO then that wasn't you shrugging your shoulders up as if you were infested with flies and shifting the blame for people's IMMEDIATE negative experiences as a direct result of "choosing" not to use voice to those users themselves huh? That also wasn't you advising other people not to post unless they had thought out what they were saying, right after trying to convince everyone that harassment for not using voice had nothing to do with voice? Please don't make me quote you, because I could be here all day just copying from that "book" you posted slamming everybody that had commented a couple of pages back.

No sale. I'd sooner believe Clinton never inhaled and Nixon wasn't a crook. No instead, I'll watch as everything we were called "paranoid" for comes to pass and voicemongers make fools of themselves trying to convince everyone else that East is actually West.

No, I wasn't "shrugging my shoulders up as if I was infested with flies and shifting the blame..." -- I was simply stating that I feel that the user in questions negative experience had very little to do with anything else beyond the universal fact that sometimes people are jerks and are rude to others. Please feel free to quote me, by the way, if you want me to clarify anything that I have said.

Voicemongers?

You do have a flare for the dramatic metaphor :) The next step is to compare something to Hitler or the Nazi's, please don't let us down.

Kascha has made excellent points. I just DON'T TRUST voice. There are so many ways to grief and so many issues that a REAL voice used in SL could create. I dont think SL is established enough to begin to even handle the fall-out.

Speaking as someone who was REALLY stalked in REAL life - any means by which a person can "tag" you is a bad thing.

And that is a REALLY important point. I run a gallery and Search is essential. When do we get these things fixed and is VOICE gonna be messing up the world for months?? These new programs could be great IF they worked. But last night was a shambles. I was at an important exhibition and trying to purchase art - but the lag was terrible and eventually it all crashed.
