TelePort Workaround Offered by Residents

As the extensive problems across the SL grid continued unabated into their 50th hour, residents in several discussion groups offered the following workaround to enable teleportation.

Note the exact name of the place you want to TP to. (You can find it in your LandMark.)
While logged in to SL, go to Edit - Preferences.
On the General tab, click the pulldown menu next to Start Location and select the last choice, to allow you to select a starting location.
Click the check box for "Show Start location on Login Screen".
Click "OK" to save.
Log off and restart Second Life.
In the box below your login information, enter the exact name of the location you wish to teleport to. (If you know the exact coordinates, enter a "/" after the location name and include the coordinates, each number separated by a "/". This is optional.)
Log back on to Second Life normally.

This procedure has been verified to work, although some residents report being unable to use it.
