Second Life Grid Status Reports

[RESOLVED 13:30] The database issues have been dealt with. Inworld services and logins have been restored, and the support portal is once again functioning.

There is an issue with the central database causing a number of inworld and website issues for residents. Some residents will experience issues with search, teleporting and transactions, and will be unable to log into the support portal, http://secondlife.com/support. Additionally, some residents will not be able to log in to Second Life at all. Ops is working on the problem, but until fixed, please refrain from making purchases or rezzing no-copy items. We will update this post with further information as it becomes available.
