    L$ Tilia purchases charged as PayPal Cash Advance

    I had a problem with PayPal once, my annual SL came up and I showed nothing coming out of PayPal. I called LL and they said they got paid. I called PayPal and it turns out they took the money from my bank account and not from the more than ample funds in my PayPal account. It was a new(?) setting that I had not seen where PayPal hits you bank account before taking funds from your PayPal account, my PayPal account was years old at that point and this had never happened before.

    When I told PayPal not to do that they just said, okay, and it has not happened again. It sounds like a way to keep as much money in PayPal as possible.

    I think that must be true to new residents, the ones that came to SL at the same time the new mesh body parts/bodies/heads  came out, or just after, but not with older residents, me included, even tho I'm not from 2003 but 2008.
    For me system skins are the way to go now and I really don't get why merchants are not offering them.. It is been like 1 year since BOM.  Maybe we have to wait a little more and see what will happen.

    (I bolded)

    LOL, you did not check my age... I was born September 1, 2007.

    And I don’t dislike BoM, in fact I love it, its just it has limits, just like everything, and Omega fills that void.

    TLDR: Omega will die to BOM.

     

     

    I don’t see Omega going away. The day its gone, so is SL. I think its that entrenched in the life of many Residents, me for one.

    Will BoM be more prevalent, I think yes, but Omega will still be around. Some mesh bodies still make it available. I mix BoM and Omega when I dress.

    What I would expect to see is an Omega to BoM HUD, that would be nice, but the materials “thing” will need to be fixed. I have a sequined body suite that BoM can’t do or even come close to, I would hate to lose things like that.

    Not sure where to report it, but Search is not working.

    When I bring it up it appears to be okay, but if I try to use it I get “Server Error (500)”.

    I get the same error on different viewers and the latest LL viewer. It started yesterday and I have logged in and out numerous times on the two viewers I use.

    When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    I took the plunge!

    I got my first Linden Home back in 2013 in Meadowbrook, today I am the owner of my fifth Log Home. Don’t think I will stay in this one but I think five is the limit per day, so in a couple days I’ll abandon and see what else I can find. I’m in Moleborough right now, have picked up homes in Grey Duck (twice), Partridge Nest and Naehice, but have not found the one that “speaks” to me like the one I had in Meadowbrook.

    But for now I have a Log Home.

    Last night I had black beans and rice. My first attempt at making it from scratch and everyone liked it.

    Some time ago we got tired of cooking and we now cook one day a week. We use Mason jars to put things in and will usually have three different dinners to pick from. Veggies are up to the individual but sometimes a dinner is a one dish meal. We have been doing this for about six months now and its so nice to just heat up dinner and eat. But its not a hard fast thing, sometimes we cook or order pizza.

    Our only problem is only one microwave but that works its self out.

    Finding your "style" on SL..

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    I like to think I have some kind of style, but I doubt it. I don’t shop a lot, that takes money and that is limited. But I like nice things. So I guess my style would be to look nice. The stores that have impressed me the most lately are:

    MOZ and Powdermoon

    I did just pick up a cute little skirt from Sylvia’s Pretty Nice Things, the store is really small but the fit for my Tonic Fine body is perfect.

    Then for the store I keep going back to for shoes is KC, the prices can’t be beat and almost every shoe comes with a menu for changing the colors.

    And my hair that I think is a big part of style is old but I don’t think I’ll ever change, its from a store that has been closed for years, Zero Style or 0-Style. And yes its flexie, I don’t like the to much hair spray look of the mesh hair but I do have some just for photos, if your not moving it looks lovely. My RL hair never sits in one spot perfectly formed, so I looked for that for my avi.

    As I am writing this I realized I am talking about two avatars, my main and my alt, but my alt says she is my main and “that” other piece of fluff is the alt, but because I, the driver, decides what looks nice they both shop at the same stores, kind of, mostly. The big difference between us is my alt will have no part of that frizzy ugly flexie hair, she shops at eXxEsS for most of her hair.

     

    Do fancy nails matter?

    The nails with my mesh body are just not long enough. So looking around I found some mesh nails with very long to very short and lots of colors all in one package.

    But even though I was looking for longer the longest in the package are just to long, for me, but the next length down are perfect. So now I have what I would call talons and I mostly keep them turquoise, I’ve gotten more comments about my nails than anything else about my avatar.

    I don’t notice designs or shorter nails on others and thinking about it, I never cam in to examine anybody. Over the years that has always caused way to much drama.

    DISAPPOINTMENT IN CHARGING TO USE THE EVENTS CALENDAR

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

     

    I am just a user, I look at search for someplace to go, not post for others. The absolute biggest problem came about with the new format where you only see a few listings on screen and a lot of dead space. Loosing the older listing format where you can actually see what is listed was a dreadful loss.

    With the older format you could look at the listing and not need to scroll for hours to see what is scheduled. A lot of the span was caused by the new format, people think they need to post over and over to catch your attention since you see so little on your screen. Making five or more lines for one Event listing was useless and just asking for trouble. (and you got it!)

    I have never used Firestorm but seeing the listing posted by Jaylinbridges I may need to give it a try. I always use Kokua but for some reason Events was removed from the viewer search, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!  And because of that I was left with “useless” or “bloated” to look for places to go, and for me that was terrible, about the only thing I do in SL is go to Live shows, and I just don’t do much of that anymore, and I see the format change to search as at least part of the problem.

     

    BOM needs to auto-calculate Normal and Spectral layers like Sansar

    please understand that does not make any sense. it is the same as saying "Silk or cotton or leather.....has no light". it does not make sense.

    BoM flattens diffuse textures together, that's all. how can anyone make demands of something that doesn't have that capability?

    BoM sucks because if can't cook my dinner. that is basically what is being said.

    all you critics and complainers of BoM cannot state or explain how things could have been done different working under the constraints of the actual system in use.......how do you fix the car that you actually drive to work, not some theoretical car that maybe one day you can have........ not one person is going to saying anything that speaks to how BoM could otherwise have been implemented without changing the entire !@#$$  system that sl uses, because there is nothing to be said. they can only confuse and obfuscate the issue by saying all kinds of things should have been done with BoM but don't make it clear that those things could only be done in a system that doesn't actually exist.

     

    the logic of the naysayers here is this: SL's texturing system has a carburetor, sl changed the gas filter surrounding the carburetor so it could breath easier. people then come along and say "that was stupid, that gas filter is worthless, instead of changing the filter, you should have rebuilt the engine to use fuel injection.............so you see now why changing the gas filter is a stupid thing to do?"

    the title of this thread is "

    BOM needs to auto-calculate Normal and Spectral layers like Sansar"

     

    let the OP explain how "BoM" can do that? he said BoM needs to do something.........explain how that can be done OP.

    he can't. he can only explain how it can be done without "BoM". because BoM, like so many other things in sl, doesn't have anything to do with materials at all.

    it's true. read this entire thread carefully, you'll see it is all there.

    the whole problem is, there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what BoM is.

     

    Your first sentence, your right, makes no sense.

     

    Your second sentence, I am making no demands, I am saying that is something I don’t like about it, I’m demanding nothing. As of right now I can just not use it, and if that does not change...

     

    Your third sentence, well, now you get it, if it can’t make my dinner, what good is it. /s

     

    Your next paragraph, I’m not saying anything about how it should have been done or how it should work, only that it is appearing to me to be very invasive into what does work, and I would regret that.

     

    And next, naysayer, I did say “I do see some good to it, but only in addition to what we have”, I just don’t want to be forced into using it. It does fix some problems, alphas clashing I hear, if I don’t half to use it then its a good thing.

     

    And the last part, you appear to be addressing the OP. (?)

    But your last line, “the whole problem is, there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what BoM is”.

    Don’t stop there.

    OH sure, like the universal wearable with auxiliary channels wasn't made for BoM, right. 

    And about wearing a mesh bra, it's just outright dumb. 

     

    This thread is a bit over my head, but...

    My first rule in dressing is go mesh, all the way. If I can find a mesh bra to go under my top, even if I don’t like it all that much, that is what I will wear.

    My second rule in dressing is use appliers if materials are used. To me materials are very important for appliers. That is my major dislike of BoM, no materials. I saw someone say that someone has a workaround but I have not been able to find it, so I’ll believe it when I see it, and I haven’t.

    And my third rule in dressing that overrides all other rules is, if it needs an alpha look for something else to wear.

    Granted I’m just a dumb user, but I have rules and I attempt to follow them.

     

    To the tune ‘War’...

    BoM, huh, what is it good for, absolutely nothin.

     

    Well maybe not that bad, I do see some good to it, but only in addition to what we have and not as a replacement. Not that that is the intention, I don’t know, but if it is I will never update my avatar ever again. And if that is not possible then I’m back the Linden Lab Classic avatar, if I’m going to look bad at least it will be free.

    You appear to like coffee here...

     

    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

    It is by the Beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,

    the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning.
