Nice new login screen. Umm… so how do I log in?
I got a pleasant surprise today as I went to log back in to second life. I opened up the Second Life viewer to find an updated log in screen. It is certainly the epitome of modern web design. Rounded corners… check. Large image-rich features section…check. Lots of featured destinations. Awesome. An upcoming events and Linden Blog section. Cool. No more worries about people not seeing important updates.
I’m really excited and ready to get started.
If only there was a way to scroll down...
Hmm… Ok… I just need to get down to the log in section now and check some things out. Hmm… Ok… It seems that the log in screen is now below my toolbar, and I can’t actually get to it. Alrighty. If only there were a way to scroll down to the log in section. I guess I’ll try adjusting my screen resolution. Maybe that will help?
UPDATE: I adjusted my resolution and that gave me access to the log in screen. Apparently 1280 by 800 is no longer a good idea…at least not for the Mac client. If you’re seeing something that looks like the image above, push your resolution to 1440 by 900. That should get you all set.
The “new” log-in screen has been around since August 2011
.
You may have missed it if you’ve been using an older TPV – the page has been adopted by most V3-based TPVs, or adopted+integrated into their own design in the case of Phoenix/Firestorm (both Viewers).
Not sure why you have issues at 1280×800; I have no problems at that reolution or at 1400×900…
Thanks for the clarification Inara. I’ve actually been using the Linden Lab viewer client for a bit, but perhaps the old login page had been cached and hadn’t reloaded until this time? In any case I’m not sure why I had to switch to 1440 by 900, but that resolution resolved the glitch that I was seeing.
