Good news! It *is* part of the same viewer! (At least, that's the plan.) You can switch between Basic and Advanced mode on the login screen. Switching currently requires a viewer restart; we're looking into ways to make that easier, though that may not be achievable for the 2.6 release. > With that said, its is nice to see an improvement on the UI for new users, > but that viewer is VERY limited, with no inventory, no notecard and no > landmark, its so limited, user will only be able to visit your spotlight > places. There is not even group in that viewer. > Yep - we're deliberately keeping it very simple so that newcomers aren't overwhelmed with controls, and have less to learn before being rewarded with a positive initial experience. The emphases are on basic movement, chatting, making friends and seeing the sights. Once they're comfortable and willing to explore further or get more involved, switching to Advanced mode only requires a restart. -- Yoz
