Living in the Metaverse
gonzo phenomenology of virtual worlds
After several days, I got back, logged in and got drowned in a pile of blue envelopes thrown at my head.
Not good. I was supposed to lay back, relax and have a nice evening chat with friends about holidays, snowboarding, in-world drama and other things that goes well with tea and cookies. Instead of that, I was forced to find my way through all the group notices, offers, payings and the other stuff sent while I was away. It was now or never, but not in the romantic and thrilling way that usually goes with that phrase. It was now or never because the client insists that all the message boxes stay on the screen until I deal with them and offers no possibility to do the boring job later.
I was lucky. Vint can tell you it can be much much worse:
Second Life crashed. 2 seconds after I logged in. Which means all the nice Xmas whishes and all the pretty Xmas textures & gifts I received are _gone_. I did not have time to accept them.
Question is quite simple: Can we have some kind of inbox which will save our messages even if we the client crash and which we can access when we feel like it? Even lousy MySpace has that.
So, go to JIRA issue and vote! Now, not later!

Yay, voted! And I really had to laugh about the blue envelopes: in the Netherlands the tax forms use to be send in blue envelopes ;-) (Imagnine them following you in your virtual life, omg..)
oops, forgot to tag the “notify follow up comments” box :(
been there… done that! ;)
oh and last someone like me who thinks that “follow up notify” is cool :P
Great idea ! It got my vote.
Good idea! Voted. My stomach dropped when I read about Vint losing all her Christmas notices.
As I can see, Vint didn’t lost her items; SL autoaccepts when you don’t have the opportunity to do so, so check your inventory (you whould had knew if you had took the effort to read the comments on her post :-p).
Anyway, I imagine the autoaccept is risky… so if you losed the two billion L$ gift check I sended you, remember that it is the intention what counts, and have a happy new year anyway :-).
Thank you all for the support and votes. And thank you London for those two billion L$, I’ll come later this night to get them in hard cash ;)
I don’t know if `19 votes in 12 hours good or bad, this is my second JIRA, but it sounds good for the start of the story.
[...] dear Dandellion, I was asked to always ask - or demand - politely, you forgot to insert the ‘please’. Besides that, it’s a kick-ass Jira proposal ‘Inbox for notices, offers and [...]
