Second Life user Sky Eclipse has a problem: something about their account or their avatar causes the sim they are in to crash. The sim they are in crashes as soon as they log in to it , if I understand the problem correctly, leaving them no way to do anything like remove attachments or delete the last few items they acquired.

The only solution for this problem lies in the hands of Linden Lab: either fix Sky Eclipse's account, or fix the sim crash problem such that Sky Eclipse's account remains just as it is but the sim Sky is in doesn't crash.

There's a Second Life Jira issue to vote on related to Sky Eclipse's problem. The Jira issue is at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2281 ; if you'd like to help Sky Eclipse by convincing Linden Lab to devote resources to solving this problem go to https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2281 and vote for the issue. (Only members of SL can vote for SL Jira issues, so if you aren't an SL user, just join SL at secondlife.com, then vote for Sky's Jira issue. )

There's a thread in the SL forums, forums.secondlife.com, at http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?p=1661915#post1661915 where you can read about this if you have access to forums.secondlife.com.

A new version of the Hipihi beta virtual world was released 7-27-07 PST which fixes a flickering problem with SL style (aka new style) prims.

Some problems with linking and unlinking objects and with copying and pasting objects seem to have been solved, along with some other problems in the build editor.

I was able to make a few simple objects without having anything go wrong and cause the objects to vanish or acquire some kind of illegal value that prevented their further use.

I figured some eating utensils might go well with the China. :)

Download speed for the Hipihi installation file remained at a dismal 4 KB/Sec. The Hipihi company needs to get a mirror site.

This would be a good time to give the Hipihi virtual world a try.

For general info on Hipihi write info@hipihi.com .

For support questions, ask at the Ideashape bug forum and right when you post there, without waiting to see if you get an answer or not, copy the content of your post and paste it into a private forum message to the IdeaShape forum member with the name Zoloe, who is a Hipihi employee, and paste that same message into an email to support@hipihi.com . You can also ask me, not that I'm an expert on anything, Hipihi included, but it's not completely impossible that I might be able to answer your question or find someone that can.

Please do take note that Hipihi only runs on Win 2K and Win XP with the latest service packs. Hipihi is not supported on Windows Vista at this time and to my knowledge does not work on Vista at this time so don't try it and act surprised when it doesn't work.
