Linden Lab Issue ID: DEV-931


 Description  « Hide
It may not seem that big an issue to others, but lots of people enjoy having a selectable tag where they can easily fix they're profile if they have prim-heavy clothes (avoiding the prim menus with detach, drop, etc). Before, the name tags worked almost like flesh on the avatars themselves. Now in the First Look: WindLight viewer, this extremely useful functionality's been removed.

confirmed this is a functionality which has been lost.

Lex Neva - 15/Nov/07 10:08 AM
Ah! THAT'S why the notecard I tried to send to my friend ended up dropped in the wall behind her :P

Torley Linden - 15/Nov/07 10:09 AM
Known issue, thanks for reporting it, I'll link it internally.

MUCH appreciated that you reported it!

Aradia Dielli - 15/Nov/07 11:16 AM
confirmed on my end as well.

Ethari Hallstrom - 15/Nov/07 03:10 PM
I can confirm this also! It's a real nuisance! I hope it is fixed soon.

Tanooki Darkes - 15/Nov/07 10:34 PM
Confirmed, I posted a duplicate.

Ryozu Kojima - 15/Nov/07 10:55 PM
Confirmed, and really irritating. I use left-click on my nametag to mouse steer my avatar. It's not always possible to find a non-touch scripted area of the body to click on, and the nametag is a nice big target.

Atsuko Otsuka - 16/Nov/07 01:02 AM
It's irritating, i like clicking peoples name to see thier profiles, and use nametags to drop inventory.
wasn't this broke and fixed in an old firstlook viewer, one of the 1st ones about a year ago?

Neither avatar name bubble or attachments can be used now to open a profile. In the case of a full-body-covering (such as an animal or robot), that leaves no way to open the profile without opening search and manually typing their name in.

Kevin Susenko - 19/Nov/07 04:03 PM
I don't think this meets the criteria for a "Critical" bug, since it's the loss of a minor feature, and not a crash or a loss of major function.

ZigZag Freenote - 20/Nov/07 02:14 AM
Why is this issue saying it is a duplicate of itself?!

Torley Linden - 20/Nov/07 02:30 PM
Ah, rules be rules -- but there's an exception here! I moved this up to Critical because we are trying a new, agile triage methodology with WindLight. What does that mean? I will explain more here shortly:

That being said, *thank you* for being conscientious of proper priority-setting, Kevin Susenko.

I'll also resolve the VWR-3211 dupe.

Argent Stonecutter - 20/Nov/07 05:13 PM
Kevin: this is a critical feature, being able to select and drop on nametags is the only way to be sure that you're targeting who you think you are in a busy scene. There's been to many cases where people have dropped content on the wrong person trying to hit the actual avatar and hitting a transparent prim attachment on someone else instead.

Tasho Fairplay - 22/Nov/07 12:27 PM
Just an opinion here but, shouldn't this be a preference option in the General tab rather than a permanently enabled feature?

There are a number of us out here which actually prefer not having to click `around` name tags when trying to make selections.

Please shift this function to a client side user-toggled feature to allow people to select if they want to be able to interact with name tags.

ZigZag Freenote - 25/Nov/07 04:41 AM
Tasho, I suppose you can turn off the tags when they are in the way, right? I am not sure whether you are talking about ALT viewing or some other situation. But as an alternative to turn off the tags, I have incorpoated your case in my proposal VWR-3445, although I am not sure it would help you. But I think name tags are definitely a good example of things to be passed through there.

Skyler Goode - 27/Nov/07 08:46 AM
This issue is a critical security one for my island. Full body attachments of any sort are preventing selection to profile and slowing the process of ejecting or banning griefers.

Wrathcat Panacek - 03/Dec/07 01:32 PM
With Xmas coming up it's ever so much more important that Items can be given ONLY to the person intended. Please make tags clickable again. Although I do like the idea that this could be a client selectable option, I would always have it enabled.

Torley Linden - 05/Dec/07 08:50 AM
