Heya Ginger,

The viewer you are currently using is the Maintenance-RC viewer from http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers

There is a problem on this viewer that will often cause you to be invisible at login and also to see some other avatars as invisible.
There doesn't appear to be any good workaround for this problem apart from relogging each time to fix it and it happens a lot on this viewer - see BUG-8722

Best thing you can do for now is to swap over to using the default viewer release from https://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ . This viewer does not have the invisible avatar bug.

Yes thats normal. On default preferences settings, a small sample of users will be automatically updated to one of the RC (release candidate) viewer versions. These RC viewers do sometimes have bugs (well quite often actually ;)).

If you do not wish to ever be updated to an RC test viewer then you can go to Me -> Preferences -> Setup and untick "Willing to update to release candidates".
