[Opensim-users] Inventory Broken Links

[Drover, Matt]

I¹m back at this now that the holidays are over, here is what happened
last month. I exported all my users to iars and islands to oars. Created a
new world and imported them all. The users¹ current outfit got messed up
and now they cannot wear anything because of the error.²Cannot wear
blahblah until shape is downloaded." Which it never does.

I think my issue here is that I copied over the avatars table from the old
grid.

Any suggestions?
