More bad interface code by Linden

So I was talking to Bootski Broome, and she was in the process of adding the six hundred plus people into another group. A bunch of the owners were doing something manually that I’ve never heard of…. adding titles to people. BY HAND.

And I thought… wait a second, are you serious? That’s some terrible code work then. Apparently when you add a person into a group, it doesn’t automatically assign titles. You can’t do mass conversions or additions because each one has to be done individually and applied to the right sub-section of the group. That seemed absolutely ridiculous to me.

For version 1.18.3(5) of Second Life, as of current, there shouldn’t be this type of bad code work for things as easy as group listings and titles. Here’s the thing. The fact that you’re designing the group listing around a “group” should have triggered the fact that owners of groups would have to manipulate massive amounts of users within the groups for whatever reason. So there should be a “select all” or some sort of function similar to multi-user selections and applying the same change to everyone. The way it’s written currently, it’s like the person that was in charge of that section only thought about how a user interacts with the group, and not so much on group administration.

Talk about oops and bad design. Especially at the level of maturity of the product for such a simplistic thing.
