So on my second trip to SecondLife I decided to try the teleport feature, after finding possibly interesting places related to technology and the future, etc.
Every time I tried to teleport I'd get:
"could not teleport"
etc etc
"you may need to log back in"
So of course I tried that, logged out, exited, started the program back up, logged back in, repeated the search, tried to teleport, same error.
And of course their support pages are useless, as was Google. I can tell I'm not the first person to hit this error, but not really any definitive explanation. Note that there are many other types of teleport failure messages.
However, when I tried to teleport to one of the cities advertised on the billboards, that DID work.
Based on that and one of the posts I read, I believe the "could not teleport" ... "you may need to log back in" means that the other world or region you're trying to get to is down.
The frustrating thing is that, *if* that's the case, why not just say that? Since I hit this error in my second hour of Second Life, and I got the same error for several different places, it appears to be a very common thing.
Many other aspects of Second Life seem either needlessly confusing or of poor quality (graphics, UI design, etc). But I'll play around with it a bit more, possibly for business related reasons...
Their search feature needs a total makeover for one thing...
