hi there! I'm not familiar with some of the terms you mentioned and I doubt that I would have extra time figuring these out 😅 I do appreciate the input but since I thought this could be fixed with a simple attachment issue or just need to tweak the sliders and won't have to do anything else outside of SL (the need to use another program, manually edit, etc.) I guess I will just have to choose an angle where the halo thingy is not as visible. your time and response is much appreciated! thanks again 🙂

hi! thanks for the idea (tried playing with the sliders) but, unfortunately, it didn't fix the halo thingy.

Hi Rowan! the only things I changed were the eyes and skin base because those were the only system ones I had on. the rest parts of my avatar are all "new" parts/attachments like a Lelutka brow shaper and shape. thanks for the info regarding the 4 basic parts which I will be focusing from now on when creating a new outfit 🙂

hi Rowan! thank you for replying. I went on to check my avatar and I do have some system stuff still attached to it. the "girl next door" system shape and eyes still attached since there's no way to totally detach them (or is there any way at all?). so I just replaced these with some new base eyes and shape. unfortunately, the haloish thingy is still visible when taking pictures while using DoF 🙁 thank you for your time, I appreciate it!

hi to anyone who would take time reading this 🙂 first off, a blessed 2023 to you! 🥳 my question is, what causes this "halo-ish" thing around my avatar to appear whenever I use Depth of Field? it's pretty annoying because it doesn't look nice at all. I have seen a ton of other people's pictures using DoF but their works are flawless. the edges of their field focus is clear and crisp. also, this happens when I have like a "winter breath" attached to my avatar. the second one that's circled on my sample (pic attached) whenever I breathe out the mist, it ruins the DoF effect like what happens around my avatar. what causes this and how to fix it? your help is much appreciated. thank you! ☺️ Maia

this is noted. thank you so much again!

hi! i will try this too after observing if clearing my cache fixed the problem already. i'll try to log in tomorrow again during the hours when i find it toughest to get in. if it happens again (can't log in), then creating this "sort folder" is the next step i'd try but if for whatever reason it won't work, i'd have to let LL check my inventory for me. thank you for your time and input, much appreciated. keep safe!

thank you for this thorough explanation and suggestions. i will try clearing my cache and see if that would fix it, otherwise, i'll contact LL, file a ticket, request for my inventory to be "de-flattened" if they see that it's what it actually needs for the issue to be resolved. stay safe!

hello there! i haven't heard of "flat inventory problems" before and thank you for bringing it up. i would try sending a ticket regarding this. i appreciate your time reading and replying. thank you and stay safe!

hi! i'm in Asia so i'm not quite sure if my troubles have any connection with the others in Europe and yes i do find it strange that it's just my main account, which is the only active account i do use for years now, that's having this problem. i did try sending a message from my alt to my main days ago to somehow try to shake it a bit IF and only IF the cause of it not logging in is maybe it's kinda "stuck" being online even if i have logged out. but, unfortunately, that doesn't fix it thank you so much for the message, i appreciate it. i hope you're well!

because i was still trying to figure out as to what might be causing it since i can log in at other times. it's not like i never logged in the entire month of july and august. i have logged in some days but i still keep getting this issue until now and it is worse today, that is why i decided to reach out here and ask what might be the problem. i have been trying to log in since morning, it's almost evening now, haven't had a single success. i'm not the type who just contact support the second i encounter a problem without trying to fix the issue myself first because if that would be the case, if someone replies to my message and asks me if i tried doing this and that to see if it will fix this issue, troubleshoot, most likely i would answer no to every single question. i do try to check first if the issue is temporary and if i can fix it myself before asking for help. also, i am not online on SL every single day. so i don't really experience the issue everyday. then i realize now that even if i only log when i have the time, which is not all the time, the issue is still there. the entire month of august was extra tough for personal reasons i would rather not discuss here. it's a major thing that kept me from doing other things. so, yup, i don't always have the time to be tinkering with this issue until now. thank you for replying

hi! my main account won't log in. this issue started last July. out of desperation, i tried using an alt's account, which i haven't used in a long time, just to check if it will do the same. guess what? this account (alt) logged in without any problems. i'm using the same computer for both accounts, so i don't think internet connection has got something to do with it. i haven't used my main account as much during these past months as much as i have before the pandemic, having to do other things at home, aside from work. i can't be "banned" wherever or for doing whatever in SL, i don't really do much aside from decorating my SL home and stay in my home most times or just explore/hangout with my partner in beautiful sims. so when i started going active again with my main account the past weeks, this problem about login fails started getting out of hand and so frustrating. it would take hours before it would actually log in, after countless tries. some days, i just give up trying because it won't budge. then there's the alt i don't really like using anymore that can log in so easily, which is annoying because i no longer update this avatar and i only used it for pictures years ago. i already did a clean re install of my viewer (Firestorm. only one i use and been using for years now) just to see if maybe there are some corrupted files in my main account that may be causing this or simply needs to be cleaned or whatever, but i still experience the login fails after re installing the viewer. also, whenever this login fails happen, there are no ongoing maintenance stuff on the grid, the login fails just keep happening at any time of day and would go failing for hours. anyone knows what's causing my main account to not log in and yet another account of mine would log in without issues? i attached the login failed message. this is what i keep getting for every failed attempt. thanks for your time reading and i appreciate any help you can give. keep safe!

hmmm never heard of making profiles invisible. status, yes, but profiles? are there viewers that allow that? I noticed the ones with those words (this name is unavailable) on profiles often made empty just like someone I knew. the person used to have a profile filled with stuff but after a while I saw it has that same thing on the web tab of their profile, the profile has no other stuff in it already, so I kinda concluded it might be because the account has been deactivated/deleted. but I posted the question here to be sure. thank you for the reply Alwin

hi there! just wondering...been seeing this "this name is unavailable" in some of the profiles of people and I kinda feel those are the ones which are no longer used? ones that have been deactivated/removed? is this correct? EDIT: Had an experiment. Those profiles are no longer active.

thank you for the help I appreciate it a lot just one more question tho, are these the only icons we can use?
