The point has also come up recently in Faker shows because I want to be the tallest avatar onstage. It’s an oddball quirk to be sure, but there you have it. But, one thing I only recently realized is that sometimes, especially in skyboxes, my feet sometimes sink into the floor. So, sometimes I’m standing next to someone and they’re feet aren’t sunk into the floor and mine are. So, of course there is going to be a height difference. So, how do you get your feet to not sink into the floor? Well, the Lindens could come up with a bug fix. Seems like it should be an easy enough thing to have worked out by now. But, while we wait for them to do their thing, the quick fix is to sit on something and stand up again. True, we shouldn’t have to do that, but if you want your cool new shoes to show up, you’ll have to. You can read what I just read here if you want to learn more. Also, apologies to anyone who I’ve yelled at for being taller than me lately. It’s like that scene from A Hard Day’s Night.

A BOTTOMLESS PIT! Then you sink really really fast. Will did that on Edloe once. Had some flowers as a lure and it got me.

You know, I've been having that same problem for two and a half years, every time I TPed into my *ahem* 'workspace' my feet would be stuck in the floor. I always thought it was something to do with a borked landmark or something. It never occurred to me just to sit on something and stand up again. /me slaps forehead. D'oh! Well bugger me.

We keep a basic plywood cube up there by the TP landing point, just for sitting on, though very often we only notice when we go to hug. very frustrating!

I also noticed that I often only needed to walk over the posing stand in order to get my feet out of the floor. Another thing that seems to work at sim crossings is to hold the spacebar once you start sinking. It stops your fall and I guess it gives the server enough time to correct your position. I think I picked that up from one of Torley's old videos, but I'm not sure.
