(If you signed up to Kitely using your Facebook or Twitter account then you don&#8217;t have two passwords, so\u00a0this section isn&#8217;t relevant to you.)<\/p>\n<p>Keeping track of two passwords can be confusing, and quite a few people had problems logging into the grid because they changed their website password when they had intended to change\u00a0their grid password. We&#8217;ve therefore decided to unify these two passwords: now the same password will be used to login to both the Kitely grid and to the Kitely website.<\/p>\n<p>This change will only affect future passwords; not existing passwords. This means\u00a0that for\u00a0existing users, your passwords have <strong>not<\/strong> changed; you can\u00a0keep using Kitely as you usually do. This change will only make a difference if\u00a0you decide to change your password in the future: at that time, the new password that you choose will be set as both your\u00a0Grid password and your\u00a0Website password.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Login Fallback Option<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you try to login to the Kitely grid from the viewer, sometimes the world that you want to enter isn&#8217;t available. This can happen if the world was deleted; or if its permissions don&#8217;t allow you to visit it; or if the world has been suspended.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, when such problems occurred we showed you an error message in the\u00a0\u00a0viewer&#8217;s main screen and prevented you from logging into the Kitely grid. You therefore never got to enter the grid, which is annoying. Today&#8217;s update solves this problem: now, when you enter valid login credentials (username and password), we always let you log into the Kitely grid. If you can&#8217;t log into your desired destination then we send your avatar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/virtual-world\/Ilan-Tochner\/Kitely-Welcome-Center\">Kitely Welcome Center<\/a> instead. Once you&#8217;re there you can teleport to other worlds, talk to people, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Based on user requests, we fixed the LSL function\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.secondlife.com\/wiki\/LlGetWallclock\">llGetWallclock<\/a>\u00a0to return the current time in the PST timezone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We updated our system today with several improvements that make it easier to login to the Kitely grid.
