I know I know facepalm most of you already probably know bout that but like let's list some hidden features! 😂 Edited June 15, 2023 by xXJupiterHeightsXx Starchild 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shireena1 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 There is a hidden feature in the forums, that if you type in an inappropriate posting, the posting quickly gets deleted, and you receive a nasty email about it in your inbox lol. 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if you type an F-bomb or similar, it will be converted to useful "asterisks"! This is a hidden "AI" feature! Similar to "Gestures" in Second Life if you tie a Gesture to a typed word. For those who do not use "Gestures" in Second Life, those would also be "hidden features" because they can be used for so many things - to trigger sounds, animations, etc. I have not used "Gestures" for years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 If you're using Firestorm, the gth (go to height) and rezplat (rez platform) are very useful. I was surprised a.lot of long-time Firestorm users were unaware of this option. The Favorite Wearable is also a life saver. LL really needs this in their viewer if it isn't there already. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Try: CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-H Then watch what appears in local chat. Works in all viewers. 😜 Edited June 15, 2023 by SarahKB7 Koskinen 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arielle Popstar Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Also try CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+4 in busy club or Shop and see what happens to both your FPS and view. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I know facepalm most of you already probably know bout that but like let's list some hidden features! 😂 Take some time to go through the menus in the viewer you use. Features aren't hidden, you just have to know where to look. The best way to do that is... look at the menus and the extended menus. Then turn Advanced on and look at those menus. Then turn on Develop and look at those menus. Do plan on doing this over a period of time because some of the menus are a bit extensive depending on which viewer you use. And be very careful dinking around in Develop. https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_3_menus#Advanced https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Develop_menu  Or you can cheat: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_3_menus  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Also in Firestorm Preferences/Chat/CmdLine has a bunch of really handy things along with what I mentioned previously. tph = teleport home 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangiUtu Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Cool VL viewer can create a cloud deck which you can fly through and above, making ILS approaches with the HSI HUD quite interesting for the pilots among us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That feature is bugged for some people, I think. It sometimes triggers for no reason, or doesn't trigger when it should! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
