Daniel Voyager has pictures of the new animated selector for starter avatars for the Second Life registration process. I’ve got a picture of my own, as it happens.

Since the new animated selector came online, I’ve been getting messages and emails from people telling me that it isn’t working for them. Well, it’s not working for me either, as you see here.

The imagery is being served up by an Amazon content delivery service called Cloudfront. Unfortunately, Cloudfront – or at least this particular piece of it – doesn’t seem to be working for a bunch of us at the moment. It hangs there for about five minutes or so, trying to pull data from Cloudfront and then eventually moves on without it.

Smooth experience. Certainly, it’s unmarred by any images of those rough and untidy avatars.

[Thanks to everyone who wrote in about this. Some of your observations were quite amusing.]
