Hey,
Remember when we had that discussion about changing the default grid
login text that appears in the client during login from Welcome Avatar
to something else?
While doing tests and helping someone out with UDP Server
configuration, this idea popped into my head.
How about changing it to, "Welcome, if the client says 'Connecting To
Region..' and then disconnects, your UDP server isn't configured
properly, check your settings"
See, we actually get a bunch of help requests on this very issue.
The client isn't very descriptive when this condition occurs. Some
of the time, people even think OpenSimulator is broken when they
simply need to fix their configuration.
This could be a way to have a default message that makes sense,
reduces new user frustration, and doesn't mention OpenSimulator.
Seems like a win win to me, what do you think?

I think this is a good idea. I would change the message to something
that might be easier to understand by a normal user. For example:
"Welcome. If the viewer says 'Connecting to Region...' and then
disconnects, UDP messages are not coming through; check your firewall
settings."
+1, I like it.
