Grid temporarily closed to investigate permissions exploit (October 14 6:21 a.m.)
Grid closed while permissions bug is addressed (10/14: 7:31 a.m.)
Grid is upSaturday, October 14th, 2006 at 12:07 pm by bluelinden
Here’s the official word from Doug Linden…
“Earlier this morning we closed down the grid while we were investigating a widespread permissions errors involving clothing. We currently have a required viewer update that temporarily disables the Appearance -> Save As and Make Outfit features, which will prevent permissions errors from occurring. We are working on a fix for these errors, and hope to have it available early in the week. We do not anticipate that this bug fix will require more grid downtime or a forced update.”
