The effect emote one can set to happen when changing costumes resets itself on relog. It stays put as long as I play, but as soon as disconnect/log back on later its reset to "none".
A GM mailed me this bug forum link and asked me if I use tequila (?) or the launcher. I use the regular launcher that game with the recent game installation. No mods or anything outside the normal installation.
... also I prefer fruit liqueur and rum for hard liqueur. By the time I encountered the bug that I could repeat every time I was sober.
