I've noticed online at a couple of the large meetings there were occasions where it appeared that someone accidentally hit the Start/Stop Physics icon toggle and the server was immediately bogged down for all of us.

The problem is that this icon was placed right next to the First Person Navigation icon which we all use constantly while in these meetings, so it's a mistake any one of us can all too easily make. Making that worse, the icon when activated is hardly distinguishable from that icon when deactivated, so when someone DOES hit it they probably won't even know that they have to hit it again to stop the server bogdown in these large meetings.

This same icon placement issue exists in truePlay1.3 as well.
EDIT: I was wrong about truePlay1.3 - just checked - It's apparently been fixed there already, but still exists in trueSpace7.51.

Easy to fix, and definitely NEEDS to be fixed.

Thanks,
