the good news:

the following issues have been fixed:

* suitcase problems (moving in and out)
* wall / floor tiles not being locked.
* loading housing and getting an all-white house, without any tiles. (or savedata)
* placing multiple of one kind of item in your suitcase, placing any # into the house, and only one getting locked.

the bad news:

unfortunately, all suitcase and savegamedata has been removed.

you will not lose any items, but, you will have to reload your suitcase, and re-setup your house.

my sincerest apologies.


Please give the following when reporting unresolved issues:

Any other comments:


Red = Unresolved
Orange = Confirmed
Blue = Workaround
Green = Fixed
Grey = Old/Obsolete

Images not loading ("Importing" and "loading" issues)
Many images, both in housing and in the new stores, are not loading. This may be a continuing problem with the graphics servers.

Avatars not loading (shadows)
Users are reporting that avatars (and in some cases, items) are not showing their full image, but their shadow effects.

Valid avatars for the housing system end in t=XXXXX.png
Invalid avatars don't have the t= at the end.

To find your avatar's filepath, right click on the image and click "Properties".

If you have an invalid avatar (or a friend does), they need to resave their avatar to be compatible with the Housing program.

For the above bug, please list the location you are experiencing the issues (edit mode, view mode, view mode [from profile]) and what items (if any) are not showing up.

Multiple of one item placed in the room will cause suitcase errors
When placing multiple of one item in the house, saving, and then going back to the suitcase, only one of said item shows as "saved in house". clicking on other item or the same item to remove from suitcase will cause the error: An error has occured, please reload your broswer & try again. this will be fixed shortly. -kaia9

White walls + save button only loading
Contains the "This Shockwave movie has errors that have cause playback problems. Please contact the author of this content regarding this problem. Shockwave is unable to continue."

Shockwave will not load with Linux OS
Several users have reported that Shockwave and Linux are incompatible. As this may be a software conflict, there may be no fix for it.

"Error Loading XML"
Users are receiving the above error message. This may be caused by conflicts with Shockwave and users' firewalls.

Update: Zone Alarm and Zone Alarm Pro seem to be the main firewalls causing this error. There is no known fix for this at this time.

Upgrades without proper funding
Some users were affected by a glitch that allowed them to upgrade their homes without the proper amount of gold. Note that if you have been affected by this, you will not be banned. -kaia9

Houses are not saving
Houses are currently not saving changes. This is probably due to many users trying to access the feature at once.

Update: This should be fixed.

Buying items not deducting gold from accounts
Some users are reporting bought items not deducting gold from their accounts. This is just lag; your gold will show its correct value when the system refreshes.



Shockwave issues:

Please make certain you have the newest version of Shockwave installed. You may wish to uninstall any previous version before installing a new one.

If you are receiving an error message such as "Xtra," please read this article on Macromedia's webpage for information on how to update your Shockwave player to the appropriate version.
Ok, so I bought things for my house and everything right? And so I make my house all nice kinda as well as I can, and then all of a sudden nothing but the house shows up. I don't even get the boxes with the X in it, it just never shows, and the only button that is there is the save button. Is this a high traffic issue, or is there something wrong with shockwave?
*EDIT* When some one views it normally it shows up fine(even for me), but still doesn't for me when I go to arrange my house
I get the same problem

whenever I try to load my house it shows up with white wallsand a save buttons... all other options are poof.

I'm not sure if saving my wall and floor tiles from before had anythign to do with it but it's not cool either way...

When loading, it gets the screen where the items are being loaded into the house, but when the avatar icon comes up at the very end, the loading stops.

hey how do you get those shoke wave downloads?
i just bought a house for 1k and i didnt lose any gold
I bought three pieces of furniture, a black steel bed, a black steel tv stand and one other piece, and I don't seem to have been charged for them, yet they're in my inventory.

EDIT: Nevermind. I bought them about 5 minutes ago and was now just charged.
I clicked on upgrade to see how much it would cost. The window popped up saying it was 20,000g but the "Accept/Buy" and "Cancel" buttons didn't appear. I clicked around where they cancel button should have been based on where it is every other time in a store, but appearently either I guess wrong, or it just glitched anyways. The next thing to pop up was something like "Upgrade bought for 20,000g.. that would have been great and all, except I only had 5,000g. It did take all the gold I had, but that's still 15,000 less then I should have paid. Since I posted this here should I still go ahead and PM a mod?

Almost everything is working just fine for me. I can save, I can see items, etc. The problem is that I can't see avatars in houses; I can only see their shadows. I have the latest version of Shockwave installed; could this be a graphics card problem or something, perhaps?

Anyways, just thought I'd report that.
Actually just posting it here will get the recommended mods attention. So just be patient and the mod will get to it. Also due to the items not loading properly I have a theory, I'm guessin the reason they aren't showing up in the stores is because each store had all there items switched around and reorganized and therefore cause them to take their sweet time to finally show up there later on. Its not a permanant issue due to the fact that if you keep clicking the arrow sometimes and get back to the page most of the items reappear. My suggestion is to clear your old cookies and history to see if that clears it up.

To Shad-Chan: its not the graphics card. I should know. I have the crappiest graphics card out there. but its probably your cookies or old history so clear those and try again if it happens again then its not your graphics its just that the Avatars are broken. So are these new or old users to gaia?

Thanks. I figured since I posted it in a Mod's sticky that would be good enough, but I didn't want to take any chances.

No problem. If its not worked out by now then it will be by tomorrow. Most of the mods are probably busy trying to fix the current bugs at the moment so it may take some time til they get to this alright.
