Any clever explanations for THAT?”

I get that all the time when I have the admin mode on and am scrolling through a group listing. It always asks me if I want to accept changes, even if I don’t change anything. But, if you press accept, cancel, or ignore, either way it’ll do the same thing.

If you were fucking around with keystrokes and accidentally managed to hit the Godmode one before opening up that estate menu, it would likely happen.

Take a look at your own screen cap. You weren’t editing your own estate, you were editing estate “(unknown)” with owner “(unknown)”. Sometimes these dialogs get displayed without the proper information behind them. So when you tried to change anything, it thought you were editing a completely different estate. It’s essentially just a client side bug — it should check whether it actually successfully downloaded the information displayed on a dialog before it allows you to edit it.

Linden Lab knows about it, Linden Lab implemented it… this is technically old news as it’s been out for 5 months now.

I believe it’s somewhere in the area of 1.11 or 1.12 on the Second Life release notes, where it will detail the information on it.

Yeah, you never see it ask you, it asks on a programming level (or so i’m told), if you try to press one of these dangerous looking Linden buttons like change estate, it’ll take a nano-second to query the database to see if your avatar has the rights enabled to do such a thing, which unless you’re a linden or the Lindens specially enabled it, you wouldn’t, it denies it. Try pressing something like that, nothing happens.

Obviously lack of a user/pass was a problem but hey, people use lame passwords and a Linden user name is probably just their first name which HAS to be unique. I could have tried a few guesses. But that would have probably got me in hot water, so I didn’t try.

But it’s an intriguing thought, isn’t it?

If nothing else, wouldn’t it be interesting to see you own CSR entry?

EXCEPT:

“You are about to change a Linden owned Estate (mainland, teen grid, orientation, etc.). This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS because it can fundamentally affect the user experience. On the mainland, it will change thousands of regions and make the spaceserver hiccup, Proceed?

Change Estate/Cancel”

I’m wondering about the sim freeze too. Or rather, my avatar, freezing all over the place, on all sorts of sims. Freezing in time, and if I wait, he’ll unfreeze and then fly into negative space offworld.
