[Opensim-users] Announcing the Parallel Selves Message Bridge

[Robert Klein]

Justin I updated my simulator just now and did the three steps in your
README.txt file and when I run my simulator up I get the following error:
14:10:07 - [PS MESSAGE BRIDGE]: The IM module must be set to be the
PSInstantMessageModule for the parallel selves message bridge to work.  You
can do this by setting InstantMessageModule = PSInstantMessageModule in the
[Messaging] section of OpenSim.ini.  Disabling message bridge module.

I put the line in the Messaging section so don't know why it throws that
error. Also when I try to login to my sim the viewer crashes.
