Texting problems in VR today
by Betty Braaksma 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hi everyone, It looks like there may be a problem with the SMS gateway, which handled incoming text messages from phones. They're coming in as batches of several texts all at once, which suggests to me they might have been backlogged & then are cleared. I've reported it to LETS and am awaiting further information. thks Betty

Unruly patron

Hello everyone, I encountered a rather foul-mouthed individual between five and six o'clock this evening. He/she began the session requesting biographical information about Louis Riel. After demanding the information, the person adopted some pretty colourful language. I closed the session tab, but the person returned. Although fairly rare, I thought I'd pass along the information in case the person decides to reappear at another time of day. Regards, Shaun
