(As I seem to be failing miserably and sending this to the list, I'll
apologize to Will for him now having this in his inbox 3 times)
Most of the time, inventory loss isn't due to the items disappearing, but
the items never getting loaded into your inventory by the client. Large
inventory sizes suffer most from this problem I do believe. Sometimes
item's will be in your inventory and other times they won't.
Time to clear down your inventory me thinks. Then clear you cache!
the reason they ask you to clear your cache, is so it forces your client
to re-download data rather than using data it's already gathered on your
hard-drive.
As for Dynamic Shadows, I believe that's still only one lindens pet
project is it not? I haven't been able to find an RC or FirstLook viewer
that contains the shadows. Moaning about a single linden working on
Dynamic Shadows is like moaning about me working on my website in my lunch
break at work!
Jesubs people.

For over a month when I log on my inventory is a crap shoot ... it
floats between 1k and 5k short of what it should be. Finally had
enough and spent the required 4+ hours in live chat, "yes I'll clear
cache" "yes I'll go someplace quiet" "oh no problems with my network
connection- that's so good to know" then I'm told to take everything
off and clear cache again and relog ... ok .. ok so I put everything
I'm wearing, huds hair jewelry shirt shoes etc into a new folder in a
"clothing emergency" folder ... god damn don't you know it
disappeared!!!!! honest to god - huds hair jewelry all gone - not an
effing trace..... wait, there is a trace- three live help people can
"see" the missing items but can't do a bloody thing!!!
OK! live chat has run out of stuff they can do so it's on to a support
ticket, go into great detail what has been covered, include the 4+
hours of chat (bulk of it was having me relog all over creation) wait
the 48 hours and get a form email extolling the virtues of clearing
cache and relogging in a quiet area.
One odd thing- a $50 usd sexgen bed unit that disappeared over a year
ago came back- so much for that round of live help back then that
"couldn't see it" (don't judge me)
Forget memory leaks and stability issues ... inventory volatility -
isn't it about time for dynamic shadows?
