GentleFireGrid Community Notice

To all OpenSim members — both ours and our friends across the metaverse — I want to address the rumors going around. GentleFireGrid is not closing down. In fact, it’s the complete opposite.

We are preparing for a move, and the final adjustments will be made over the next few weeks. Once everything is in place, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and how to join us in our new home.

I look forward to seeing you there as we continue building a stronger, happier GentleFireGrid together.

A few years ago I asked about creating in opensim and using software to enhance or to better render what you creat, related to photos. However at the time ai was not able to do a good job as it had a hard time rendering photos not just from opensim or sl but in games in general. But now things have much improved, and thanks to Jims posting earlier I read it has gotten way better. So here is an example.

MazebzOS_AVX2-8-0-0-261400139 released
https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip This one I went back to the texture picker again. I made a toggle between the big way and the old small way. I made it so if you stretch the firestorm one that it now remembers that for all panels till you do it again. So no more hidden titles from the huge textures ever ever again. If you want the texture bigger just hit the check mark where it says compact, open it again and boom HUGE texture.

Wishing everyone in any and every motherly role the very best of days!! xxx

Also a reminder the E Grid will be adding a new server and doing major annual upgrades and backups from May 12th to May 22. These operations are just so much easier with the grid down. Might not take that long but we're allowing that time frame.

Also thank you to those new renters! Any new lands purchased right now will be set up on the 23rd. Everyone who purchased before today already has their land ^^
