[Opensim-users] Got profiles working

Wed Jan 23 20:29:29 UTC 2013

@ssm2017

Thats actually a great idea.  I hadn't thought of it myself but that  
is what happens when you get over tired.

I should also note that my finding was both on Windows 7 x86 and x64.   
I noticed Fleep/ Chris was also using mimentic core's version of the  
groups, profile, offline messaging, and profiles modules.  I would say  
that his version will also work the way I have described.

I will try to get that added to the opensim wiki at your suggestion  
today.  I have added it to my list of things to accomplish today.

Thanks

Emperor
