SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Peeve: People who say "chef's kiss" as part of a verbal or written sentence, when it's only the name of a physical gesture. And they say/type it even without doing the gesture! "We went out to dinner last night. The food was amazing, it was chef's kiss." ....

I still remember the times when a request for help was met by the lovely "FAQ-U" - but maybe I just spent too much time on Quakenet back in the day.

Hahaha. I downloaded some 1/2 mb zip file, containing a script mod for a game once, and found the script was about 2 KB, and the rest of the 1/2 MB was the readme in PDF, which when opened was about 7 words, thanking you for downloading their stuff. Why the hell not just use a 1 KB text file? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest asking Henri about it on his forum: Cool VL Viewer forum - Index page (free.fr). Not sure exactly when he stopped doing a 32bit version, but it was in the last few years, I think. You may need to update your Win7 to a 64bit version instead. There is no upgrade path, so you'd have to do a clean install after backing up files. https://www.ubackup.com/windows-7/upgrade-windows-7-32-bit-to-64-bit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Misfit Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Very peeved once again at what passes for customer service by some merchants in SL, as twice in the past week I have had to contact sellers about issues with purchases, and been completely ignored. There are no consequences for merchants who refuse to provide customer service, other than losing customers who have bad experiences. New customers are not protected at all. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no consequences for merchants who refuse to provide customer service, other than losing customers who have bad experiences. New customers are not protected at all. I've had the same experience in the last two weeks with a fairly well-known women's clothing maker, to whom I sent a note pointing out that her vendor was set to deliver the wrong garment (even though the "pay" popup named the correct one -- I mentioned this situation here earlier.) I guess it's time to start getting a bit pushier, with a slightly more forceful notecard. It's doubly annoying because I'm NOT a "new customer": this is someone from whom I've bought a reasonable amount in the past. She's on the verge of losing me as a customer for good, however. And as you say, really, there's not a damned thing I can do about it, except maybe tell friends privately, and stop spending my own money there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always the ability to leave a bad review on their products in the MP, especially if done by a group of customers all voicing the same complaint. When I see a legitimate negative reviews with no follow up by the creator, I tend to be wary of such stores even on their other products because it's obvious that the creator is not supporting their products. The review function on the MP is an underused method of warning potential new customers about problems with such stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The review function on the MP is an underused method of warning potential new customers about problems with such stores. I do tend to read reviews when buying from the MP -- but critically. I'll dismiss negative reviews that don't specify the reasons for the negativity. It's generally not difficult to determine which have a legitimate beef. The problem in THIS instance is that I didn't buy the item from the MP, so I'd have to buy something there to be able to leave a review. And I don't think the item I wanted is even available there, so I wouldn't be able to comment specifically on that. I've sent a second notecard and an IM. I've included reference numbers, screen shots of the confirmation I received in local when I paid, and of the transaction on my account page. I suppose it's possible she just hasn't been in-world the last two weeks, but this is a pretty active store still, sometimes on the weekend sales, so I'm a little doubtful of that. I DO hope she resolves it. It's not an absolute favourite store, but it's also not one I want to add to my (fortunately very short) "I Don't Shop There" list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Reviews and ratings on the MP are pretty much worthless IMHO. They are gamed in all kind of ways until goes no more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
