Since TPing to another region yesterday, my AV has failed to<br>rez. When I login, I am a "puffball" with the "...clothing is still<br>downloading" message. When I check "Worn Items", NOTHING appears. The<br>"Appearance" option is greyed out.

wouldn't (ie to manually right click > wear items, or<br>drag the folder onto myself).<br><br>However, we have other users who also appear as clouds but who can<br>seemingly edit their appearance or change clothes, but they never appear as<br>anything but clouds and nothing seems to help.<br><br>We use Diva's Wifi for grid registration with pre-created avatars, all of<br>which we have tested with multiple viewers on different PCs, and all seem<br>to work fine for us both in the office and at home (to account for network<br>lag or other issues of that sort). We've also created 6 avatars for this<br>specific project, again all of which seem to work fine for us, but for some<br>of our users they still always appear as clouds and others see them as<br>clouds seemingly no matter what we do.<br><br>Any advice, troubleshooting tips, or even a basic explanation of how the<br>appearance stuff is communicated from the server to the viewer would
