*Waves.* Heyyo. I'm obviously brand-new, but I'm trying to understand the market. Is there no way to preview items on a given avvie? I don't want to see it on a mannequin, I'd like to see it on the avvie I selected.
Edit: *Facepalm.* Apparently when I saved the avvie, it didn't actually save. Not sure if that's a browser hiccup or what.
Edit 2: Okay, so it's still not showing me the preview on the selected avvie in the market after all.

Also, I'm trying to use Firefox because there's a social push to using it, but the site frequently freezes in-browser. Is this just me or is it a Firefox thing? I've been having multiple issues with just basic use, and it's getting really annoying. For example, just typing this out, Firefox would freeze then catch up what I was typing in the textarea, but it actually just straight-up will freeze about every 15 seconds or so.

Edit: It will also freeze regardless of what I'm doing. Scrolling, trying to select colors, anything. Is it a webpage load issue?

Ok, the button you're referring to to see on a given avi? That isn't what that button does. It LOADS your preview onto the avatar (but only if you own the items). You can only see the item on the preview mannequin if you don't own it. So that is why you're avatar didn't save, you overwrote it with the preview (or so that's what I'm assuming here cuz I use Firefox and I'm having no issues).

My main question is, do you have the most up-to-date Firefox version? Does your computer actually have what it needs to run Firefox? Sounds, honestly, to me like it's a computer issue, not a website issue. Maybe try it on another site and see if it still freezes?

All good and valid questions.

Yeah, that's what happened with the market... but is there a way to preview an item directly onto a new model that has stuff on it already?

I have just very, very, mild issues with other sites, to the point I can't actually think of what sites I encounter it the most on? Maybe Tumblr and LinkedIn??? But like. It's happening a lot when I'm trying to preview items and colors when I'm my wardrobe, but the text editor on the thread page I have no problems with - I seem to have problems when I'm on the reply page.

Edit: I did just update Firefox.. Going to test it out - I didn't realize it wouldn't notify you like how Chrome does when it's in need of updating.
Edit 2: *Facepalm.* That worked, for the lag. This is what happens when your tech support job doesn't let you actually do tech support...

No, there is no way to see an item on your avatar you've already made (unless you make it in the preview piece by piece) unless you own said item. It was brought to our attention awhile ago and posted in the suggestion section, so hopefully it can be added in an update at some point! ^^

Does that mean all your issues are gone now?
