AvMan status page:
We have now provided the ability to find out the status of your avatar's home server (AvMan).  http://webapps.prod.there.com/status/avman.xml  This page will help you determine your home AvMan and whether your AvMan is up when you have problems logging in or if you begin to have issues while you are in world. 

Some of the typical symptoms that you can experience when an AvMan is down are:
-- Failure to login, "An Error was encountered logging you in"
-- Auctions for items hosted on that avatar server may not complete
-- PortaZones hosted on that avatar server may disappear temporarily
-- Inventory may appear as "Not Yours"

PayPal:
We have added the option to use PayPal directly as a billing option.  Now, when making a purchase using your PayPal account your Member Program or Therebucks purchase will be processed automatically, without Account Services intervention.

Show PortaZone time left in auction:
We have added an information field to PortaZone auction pages.  The field, at the top of the page, shows approxiamately how much time is remaining on a PortaZone.  If the PortaZone is on the ground while it is being auctioned, the time remaining will update approxiamately every hour.

Last rent paid on lot listings:
We have added a field to Neighborhood lot auctions which shows when the rent was last paid on the lot.  If a lot has never been dropped in a hood there will not be a last rented date on the auction page.

Known issues: Currently this option is only available on Lots, but we will be extending this to Neighborhoods and fixed zones (Houses and Funzones). Also, this will display a last rental paid date even on lots which are not currently rented. If a lot was previously rented, released, and then listed in auctions, it will show a last rental paid date.

About Item Improvements:
We have added a link from an item's About menu which shows any open auctions for that item. When you click on an item like a vehicle in world, and select the About tag, you will now see the following information reflected:
-If there are any sales for the item by the designer, it gives links to the Buy Auction.
-If there are any auctions (second hand sales) for the item, it gives links to those auction pages too.

Known Issues: About pages are currently not being displayed, we are investigating this issue.

Reduced memory usage by houses:
This change, which extends to all fixed houses (Tyr, Malihini, etc.) reduces the amount of server memory each house uses.  The change at the individual house level will be imperceptible, but the servers should be happier as a result.

Known Issues: This feature will be updated with Wednesday's content push.


Profanity filter:
We have updated the profanity filters, removing some words that no longer needed to be blocked.  We have also merged the list between the client and the webpages for consistency.  (Taelos you get your name back!)

Known Issues: This feature will be updated with Wednesday's content push.
