SecondLife (R) What about Emerald ?

  Ok I back for a rant, I  believe this really needs to be said, Ive been a die-hard Emerald user for about a year now. However recently I have had numerous problems with this viewer, heres the kicker. I log in, and on my computer screen I appear fine, I can take a picture of myself, and  look normal, I goto a club and get ejected, for being naked. This is not only embarrassing, but is also a real pain in the ass, trying to explain my situation to the club owners, or hostess.
  And to top it off, the folks at Modular are completely silent, rumors have it that some of the devs have parted ways. This is a really sad state of affairs, I'm a builder in SL, and the Emerald viewer rocks for building. But I can not afford to ruin my reputation, being seen as running around naked in SL
  For now I'm sticking with Kirsten's viewer, and looking forward to Hitomi's upcoming new version of StarLight.
  Please give them both, your full support, and post here, any suggestions, idea's, whatever you can think of, lets keep it positive, both Kirsten and Hitomi are really dedicated, wonderful people. We need to stand behind them 110%

To be fair to the Emerald people the same (i.e. you not wearing what you think you are) happens with Viewer 2 sometimes so maybe it is a side-effect of the alpha layer code they both use.

If you get a chance Jay, have a look at http://www.4shared.com/file/uyOYStM2/starlight_for_kirstens_viewer.html - it's still in beta but seems ok so far. Will run it on a few machines and see how it does. It is a mix of Kirsten's own skin with Starlight 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 bits.
