The new opensimworld HUD is out. This is a major update of the HUD. You can now instantly like a region and add to your bookmarks from in-world. As always you can access your bookmarks instantly and also go to the OSW page of the region that you are visiting. Also, you no longer have to worry about re-entering the HUD key. Go to our region to get it, along with the latest beacon.

JOPENSIM/JOOMLA IS NOT DEAD!

Our new website looks pretty cool, please check it out.

www.myvirtualbeach.com

the website is running joomla 4 with compatible jopensim

Only thing is, I dont know how to turn xmlr groups back on in dreamgrid that was turned off, does anyone know how to fix that? We cant tell opensim to point to joomla otherwise group error pops up and no one can log into the grid.

Also, does anyone know how to update MYSQL in dreamgrid? I want to update to joomla 5 but MYSQL is outdated. I did look into Maria DB switch but we dont want to break it the way we were told to do it.

The goal is to get to joomla 6, but if things can't get update, I dont know what were going to do.

Do you have what it takes to ring in Halloween - At midnight - in a GRAVEYARD? Don't worry DJ Durango Jones "The Big Boss Man" Will be there to keep you feet moving.

Meet us in the cemetery next to the church - across the street from The Four Seasons Saloon. 10 - Midnight Oct 30 - Costumes encouraged but not mandatory.

📡 **GridGather Update: One Key, Any Board + Venues in Regions!** 📡

Hey everyone! A few big improvements went live tonight:

🔑 **Any key works on any board**
The GridGather Gate board now accepts **either** your Venue key **or** your Region key, whether it shows Events or Regions. If your board was saying *"Gate key not recognized"*, that's fixed on our end. Just touch the board → **Settings** → **Enter Key**, paste your key again, and it'll show Online.

📍 **Venues can now live in a Region (optional)**
Got a club or venue inside one of your own Regions? Link them!
**Dashboard → your Venue → Details → Located in Region**, then pick your Region.
Once linked:
• Your Venue's events also show on the Region page
• The Region page lists your Venue under **"Venues here"**
• Your Region shows **Online** whenever your Venue board is
Pick **None** anytime to unlink.

🗓️ **Recurring events now show on Region pages**
Weekly and monthly events finally appear on Region pages, listed by their next date.

🛠️ **Old GateCrashers boards are being retired**
If your Venue dashboard shows an amber **"Time for a new board"** note, your board is running the old GateCrashers script. Please swap it for the new **GridGather Gate (v10.4)**. Your **same Venue key** works in it, so just paste it in. Old boards keep working for now, but support will end soon.
-Pick-up Your v10.4 Gridgather Board Kit at NW Welcome if you need one!
Questions? Ask here or message me on GridGather. Thanks for gathering with us! 🚀
