as far as I know it's not possible to put a link into the bio.

I often see them, just forgotten how to do it. they'll come up as a coloured link to another profile.

say, what's the code to text link to another's profile?

would such a room stay open, even after the room owner has logged off? or is that new function only applicable to public rooms?

spoke (typed) too soon... was in for about ten minutes, now can't connect to the server again. le sigh.

tried a clean reinstall (BTW, looks like there may still be an issue with the security certificate, I had to disable my firewall to access the D/L exe file).

still nothing. Login screen vanishes after about 3 seconds.

UPDATE: finally in, login screen message says servers are back online. room list, profiles, world chat all back for me.thanks, devs.

I get the same thing, self test says ermygawd how are you even connected to this but three other speed test state my net is freaking amazing

mine says "look, it's friday, you really should turn off your computer & just go to the pub."

and who am I to argue with technology?

unable to connect from australia. self-test says "high latency", but my usual speedtests etc all seem fine.

thanks for the heads-up @ColinDude, but still no good at my end. and yes, I've tried all the exclusions as above. I've even disabled my AV, to no avail.

I do agree with @chloe that most 3rd party AV clients are more trouble than they're worth.

but as I'd said upthread, I tried to run the 3dx client on a laptop with NO 3rd party AV, and window firewall off. this didn't connect to the gameserver either.

but obvs, some people seem to be connecting fine.

anyone else unable to connect, and could you share your experiences please? I consider myself fairly technically adroit, so this is really baffling.

Anyone recommending another game in these forums will risk getting banned.  It is against the rules.

banned from a forum from a game that we pay for, but are unable to use? alrighty.

just tried installing 3dxchat.exe on another pc laptop, one that doesn't run kaspersky [or any other AV, for that matter]. it still wouldn't run. there was only a blue box with a large red exclamation point, disallowing the program to run. possibly triggered by windows defender or firewall.

so if even windows is now refusing to allow this program, obvs due to a server-side issue, then there's no point in continuing to subscribe. after all the server crashes and DDOS issues, and now this...

anyone recommend a similar game, one with a more stable platform and a support team? I was in second life for years, but frankly, have grown a little bored with it.

Temporary solution:

It's possible to solve the issue temporary with a "trusted application" entry. Be sure to tick the "do not scan all traffic" box.

The screens are slightly outdated in terms of design, but the process is still the same. Sadly, since I lack of an English interface, I had to grab them from Kaspersky. 
However, it's a confirmed workaround until the issue is officially resolved.

If needed, you can also add the "Patcher.exe" or, in case of a fresh install, the "3DXChatSetup4xx.exe".

this workaround isn't happening for me. I've tried everything outside of shutting off kaspersky, which I'm very hesitant to do.

@Gizmo & the crew really need to look into this asap.

I don't think I'm going to disable the Web Anti Virus without knowing a proper reason for this. 

agreed. after all the recent DDOS traffic, I'd rather wait.

likewise. any workaround, or is this server-side?

Think all female characters have same Moans

that'd be a good room name: "moans and morons"

there's very rarely any tech support over the weekends. perhaps gizmo & crew go golfing with trump?

hey @KylieSissyKitten, call me. we can do fonesex

same. reminds me too much of dating in real life.

have noticed this as well.

re the new poses [@ 21 feb], what's with the strangle bit? isn't there already one for a barstool? how much bad porn do the devs watch?

seems there were plenty of lovely suggestions made upthread that would have required the same amount of coding. or less, as in the lap/riding pose.

mmm what about something like this? 

 

I don't suppose you have her phone number or anything....

agree with most of this. I'll add a suggestion I'd made a couple of weeks ago that dovetails with this thread:

@Kaitlyn1989, you're a gem. I hadn't noticed that the 'head' and 'body' headers were actually active links themselves. got it now

and yes, I was in character editor.

@Pandorra, I've been trying a combination of mousewheel & the screenshot cam's zoom slider. I still only get a closeup of my torso.
