[Opensim-users] Opensim-users Digest, Vol 62, Issue 1

[Nicky Perian]

This might be viewer influenced. I would suggest using a viewer 3 based viewer and try
different settings of Develop->HTTP Inventory. Also, look in the Inventory floater and 
monitor Loading... then use the HTTP Inventory check mark to speed up loading. Once inventory
is loaded the avatar should be out of cloud.
