I don't know what your avatar is trying to charge, but the "white egg"problem is very common and easily fixed.

That's a communication problem between your computer and SL's servers. Information about your appearance has to be "baked" onto your avatar on your own computer, saved there, and then uploaded to SL before it's fully visible there. If the necessary information is messed up in transmission, you may end up with a borked file on your computer, or SL's servers may end up with a borked file. Either way, your av's appearance defaults to a fluffy cloud or a "white egg." What works to repair the damage for one person won't necessarily work for the next person, and it may not be the same thing that works for you tomorrow. See the full list of possibilitites here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_fail . Start with the simple things at the top of the list and work down until you find what works for you today.

You may find that the bake fail problem comes back repeatedly, even after you fix it with one of the suggestions on that wiki page. If so, you have a chronically weak Internet connection. There are many steps to take for repairing it. Perhaps the simplest ones -- ones that work best for most people -- are: (1) Don't Use WIRELESS. Wireless connections are inherently less stable than direct cable connections and are more vulnerable to interference. Then, (2) Reboot your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it clear its RAM. The plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address.

You actually have TWO problems.  The first is a "bake fail", and you have got advice on how to fix that.

The second is, you have Particle visibility turned off.  If you turn it on (In Me/Preferences/Graphics/Advanced or with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+=), you'll look like a cloud of vapor instead of an egg.

This may not seem helpful at the moment, but particles also let you see fire, lightning, rain, snow, smoke, bling, and all sorts of other particle effects.

Hey yazilaxulah21 :)     

 

1-  click on the Advanced Menu at the top of the screen. If it is not next to the Help menu, press ctrl+alt+D to make it show

2-Select Debug settings.....a small window will open. select "RenderUnloadedAvatar" from the drop down box and then set it to "True" then click the X in the cornerto close the window

3-This will stop you from seeing others as clouds but not stop you from being one to them. They must change their settings for that

 

 

i hope that will help you thnx xoxo :) (megan nicole)

This is NOT a good idea. Render Unloaded Avatar does exactly what it says. It renders your avatar, even though it is not loaded well enough to be properly rendered. Instead of being a cloud or an egg, you will be rendered as Ruth, a pasty-looking, proto-Avatar. That's what we all used to look like in the days before LL invented fluffy clouds and eggs. It is bot much of an improvement. Ignore the Render Unloaded Avatar advice and stick with the bake fail advice on the wiki page referenced above.
