Hi folks, still jotting down some notes for myself to go back and review when the SLPro! conference is over. Â The last couple of days have been very exciting and a little overwhelming – not only has the conference had some really great sessions, but the conference itself combined with experiencing the world in a whole new interface has been fun, challenging, and a bit exhausting. Â 😉

So here are my notes to go back and pore over when I get a minute to catch my breath:

A Few Bits I’ve Discovered (or more likely someone taught me)

– V2 IM popups annoying? open panel_instand_message.xml (skins\default\xui\en) & replace text with this oneÂ http://pastebin.com/7eZhHR82
– Av not rezzing in V2? Re-wear your outfit in the “My Appearance” sidebar tab.

From the Lindens, Changes Coming Soon

– Â Changes coming to search in the next few weeks, google standard HTML searches not internal SL searches, be patient.
– Â Object Inspect will be coming back to right click on objects menu, just didn’t make it into this beta release.
– Shareable media fix coming soon – volume control on embedded media, so like controlling volume on a youtube vid on a prim.
– According to Q, search fixes are imminent (next couple weeks) and that includes events and classifieds.
