James and all, Sorry for my being a little out of touch yetsterday, I'm actually getting married tomorrow to the sample girl in the Avatar Lab figure library. Too odd eh? Sounds like the scale zones for the fingers need looking at. TYhe way atmosphere works is that a server sends ouit your Avatar from a web location to everyone else in the room with you at the same time. If that were happening from your local machine, it would need to be connected to the web at all times, and potentially expose that machine to hackers. Having the files in a web server keeps the exposure off your local machine, and protected by the web server's security. Kupa
