User:Toy Wylie/Phoenix/Missing Notifications

Did you encounter strange messages in Phoenix lately? Messages that go like this:

Your version of the Phoenix Viewer does not know how to display the alert message it just received.

Error details: The alert called 'CantSitNoSuitableSurface' was not found in notifications.xml.

This means, Phoenix can't display the new messages sent by Linden Lab's servers. This is one sign of Phoenix getting more and more outdated every day.

However, there is a way to at least temporarily fix this particular issue, provided you are familiar and comfortable with editing XML files. Copy and paste the definitions below to the end of your notifications.xml (right before the final </notifications> tag), and you will at least not see the most common errors anymore. I will update the code snippet with more messages as I encounter them. And please, if you see new ones like this, send me the alert identifier, so I can try and add it to this list.

The path to the file is:
