I haven't had an official viewer on my pc in over a year

How did it mess up your avatar?

both my phoenix and imprudence suddenly started to ask me to accept the TOS, but not load it, so i had to try the official one, meh

Gahum: it loaded all the defaults, with just the prims on.

second time it happens, first time it did 4 months ago, i HOPED they solved it by now.

Clear cache?

didn't work, i tried.

both network and browser cache

Viewer 2.0 let me accept it, but then destroyed my avatar

talk about tradeoff.

Define destroyed?" It's totally gone now?

So, your shape is not in your inventory and neither are the clothes it was wearing?

Ruthing happens. You find the stuff you had on in your inv and you move on.

It has to do with the different manner in which Viewer 2 stores your "Current Outfit" data. And yes, it is wicked annoying.

Gahum: i still have the items, it's just mighty annoying to have to rebuild my avatar because LL can't code.

a) have a saved appearance, advanced, rendering, test character, c) load saved appearance, fixed. (has still some side fx, but works

i think its because of the viewer 2 appearance working with links, so when you switch between 2 and alternative viewer, your latest

won't get loaded properly.

correct, jacomobeltran

you have to let inventory load completely. It can take an hour. Then wear all your things again. If you wear it and sign off before that

it will do that to your avie over and over.

Notwithstanding that V2 has only a few worthwhile features and of course faster loading graphics, otherwise it SUCKS in my humble opinion.
