 Description  « Hide
The new HTML Login Screen Brings a whole load of new problems to SL. While we all want HTML in SL theres some places we DON'T want it. This is simply not reliable.

1. 404 Errors from slow loading site prevent login to SL world.
2. Makes it easier for hackers to manipulate it.
3. Custom Viewers will have a hard time being custom (Dale Glass's login screen looks different but connects to the same grid).
4. Simply pressing ENTER to log in immediately does not work as the Connect button does not have focus.
5. It's too dark. The black background is hard to navigate with.
6. The Connect button doesn't even show up half the time or takes forever.
7. HTML Takes a lot longer to load then a simple XML system.
8. You cannot access your preferences before logging in unless you look way at the top menus.
9. It ignores -loginuri commands and others.
10. The page is setup really badly and doesn't keep the buttons, cells, forms, tables aligned properly depending on your window size.

What is your reasoning for #2?

As to #3... might it be possible for custom viewers to render the login section with a special style sheet?

(lowering from showstopper because this does not currently prevent a large number of people from accessing the grid)

I'm glad this has been stopped for now, as the thread on sldev points out, the main problem I see with it was the time it took to load the page, it didn't even seem to be caching anything. It could at least cache the images.

I agree with 4 anyway.

As I like to run windlight and use the -loginuri command option to join other grids, the fact that the latest windlight version ignores the -loginuri flag is quite a disapointment

Not WindLight-specific, duped by multiple things in VWR-3832.

Torley with all do respect, that honestly was a very lame decision closing the issue. :/ This is a serious problem that prevents logins. Last time i checked issues like this are top priority... The old login screen wasn't broke, and the new one is. LL is very good at breaking things... I can see how some of this stuff is related, but it doesn't classify as a duplicate. Sure some of the things i listed might already mentioned, but not all of them. sighs Just another reason why the official viewers are unusable.

LL decided to back off on the new login system until they could stabilize it further, so this issue would be resolved by now anyway:

Thats good. I personally wouldn't mind it being HTML based as long as it doesn't take so long to load. Knowing that thousands of people are logging into the same page all the time would cause lag and strain. It's best to try and keep it as part of the client for now.

Please Linden Lab change it back to the old login screen. The where the login form is part of the client not the website.

I get these errors a lot... It prevents me from logging. I might add this to my profile picture as another reason why yiffy can't enjoy her second life.

In the time it takes to wait for the login page to show up, with the old login screen i could have already hit [Enter] and be logging in by now. This also happens quite often.
