This looks like a Complexity imposter, wherein the avatar you're looking at is of a higher Complexity than your viewer is set to render.
If your partner/friends have been set to "always render" then they would not be affected by this (you've essentially whitelisted them when it comes to Complexity render calculations). As soon as you go someplace with people not whitelisted... they look like this.
As a test - if you see someone looking like this, right click on them and go to Appearance - Always Full Detail. They should render as expected when you do this. If this is the case, then your Complexity slider is too low, bump it up a bit (100k is probably the limit for most people, but can be higher if you've a decent system and good bandwidth.)

ladiablesse100bc: Oh this is a really good point and I completely forgot about it!
Vviviana, can you check your complexity settings (it might be too low for wherever you're going)? You can get there from Me -> Preferences -> Graphics -> Avatar maximum complexity (it's a slider!).

Vviviana Resident Given that it's happening on both Firestorm and the SL viewer my first guess is that it might be a connection issue; but let's see if we can diagnose the problem
- Can I get a link the location you had this happen on? (With this info I can go test it myself, and see if I can reproduce it. If so we mightbe able to fix it really quick for you)
- Is it just affecting you? Or do other people see this in the region too? (It's possible something is wrong with the region!)
- Are you seeing this on a wifi or wired connection? (We do a lot of network traffic, and wifi networks can have issues)
- Can I get the first line of the about page (Top bar -> Help -> About Second Life -> Info), it should read something like Second Life Release 26.1.0.22641522367 (64bit)? (I want that to make sure I'm testing something as close to what you're testing to find the issue more quickly)

Jellyfish, reading the OP it sounds like their system components are breaking down and close to total failure. They mention Firestorm which hammers GPU's.

This only happens when i am on sl land an not on my land or my husbands land.
I don't understand why this is happening. It started last week i was using firestorm then i switched to sl viewer an it stopped it but today it started with the sl viewer.
