Marcus,

Big thanks for not making me feel like an idiot!!!

If I just strip-off then, the avi just goes naked... this does not force a "go 
back to particle cloud" appearance.

In fact quite often and even on my closed network, a sporadic "failure to 
update appearance" among the avatars results in one or more of the avis "not" 
seeing/sharing all of the other avis' skins data.  Thus, some random,  
spatially distributed group may be rendered as particle cloud(s) at any time.  
At other times, they are just fine and all are visible.  At all times though, 
each avi has had skin and body feature shaping confirmed as visible at least 
once.  These issues occur whether the avis are in the same region or in the 
same Stand-alone Sim.

I have always attributed this to a the OS / SL Viewer system to not 
force-feeding data across the network.

Sometimes "time" will clear up the issue.  But, sometimes I have to wait for 
the "offending" avis to literally bump into each other in order for them to 
share skin and appearance data.   Other times ... hours to days ... a few avis 
remain as particle clouds even though their feet/buttocks leave shadowy 
depression moving about on the terrain for all the other avis in the Sim to 
sense/see and render.

Oh, yes, I'm the only human in my Sim.  So, I don't offend easily <wink>.

Chris

  Hi Chris,
  actually a great idea for the default avatars (diva).
  You need to get rid of the clothes (maybe attachments too), since the cloud 
was a protection - to not offend/embarrass people/yourself via a naked avatar ^^

    Folks,

    Don't laugh... I would like the choice to have my avatar appear as particle
    "cloud."  What do I have to do?

    Thanks,

    Chris
