  1. Hold on to your hat, because something big is coming our way in the next month or two (my estimate).
  2. 3Gb is really itty bitty for SL. SL keeps swapping stuff from your physical memory to your virtual memory (not to be confused with cache) because it is basically gasping for air, that's how cramped it feels your memory is and this causes your high disk activity. To be honest, SL only starts to feel comfy when you have 16Gb of RAM. I have 12 and I really notice that SL sometimes can not get enough space for itself and the scene it is trying to display. So my advice would be to invest in more memory if/when you can. It will make you a world of difference!
  3. Your region is a bit of an oddball. It looks like it was not originally part of a continent but at some point it did get connected to the continent of Sansara. What is looks like is as if it is a private region and part of a group of regions which are (or were once) owned by the same private land owner. Whatever the case may be, it looks like it is currently part of Sansara. EDIT: I had a look in person and the road on the region is protected land, owned by Governor Linden. This is something which happens only on mainland, which means that your region is located on Sansara but it is perhaps one of the weirdest parts of it LOL. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gramela/110/1/23
  4. Relog and see if you got your money
  5. About the slow falling, check to see if you have movelock on.
  6. Have a look at the LittleFish store. They sell mesh nipples for great range of bodies including Legacy Perky. There have two sets, one with medium to large areolas and one with small areolas. The textures are incredibly realistic. The cost is (off the top of my head) about 500, give or take a few L$.
  7. WiFi? If you are on WiFi, move closer to your router or better yet, connect to the internet using an ethernet cord.
  8. Download and install Python from https://www.python.org The version in the Windows store is no good.
  9. I do use an editor nowadays, one called Darktable which is free and open source and quite powerful for color correction. It comes with many effects which affect contrast, shadow, sharpen/soften, color vibrance, exposure, etc. Sometimes I add a smidge of vignette to give the pic more depth but I keep that effect pretty light so that it is not "in your face" and the right amount of bloom will make your highlights pop just that little bit more. With Darktable you can keep the edits as simple or complex as you like, and you don't even have to be an expert. Heaven knows I am not!
  10. Well, that's new(de)! EDIT: Done, and in the same topic that you linked to
  11. My advice would be to just photograph what you see. Do not use Photoshop (or Gimp), no tricks, just use your viewer and the windlight settings because this gives the most true to SL results. I have been taking pics for several years now and that is how I not only started, but it's still my guideline, although I am now using in-world posing tools which I did not have before, I adjust personal lighting to my wishes, and after taking the pic (saved to harddisk at 3,840×2,032) I crop it, do a little bit of color correction and that is about it. I do not retouch it, I do not edit to add/remove things, what you see in my pics is what you would see in SL. I would show you my pics, but... They are all topless or nude so I can't post them here. LOL
  12. Update your graphics drivers. This is a very well known bug with older NVidia drivers.
  13. Don't try to rez on a mesh surface. Rez on a prim, or on the terrain.
  14. Right-click the land on your Linden Home and choose "About Land" and then click the "Abandon land..." button. After confirming that you really want to abandon the land, you are now free to shop around on mainland for land auctions and make bids on the land that you want. Once you win an auction, that land will be yours and you can live on it tier free until you choose to abandon or sell your piece of mainland. Note that Premium accounts can hold 1024 SQM of tier free land. For Premium Plus accounts this is 2048 SQM.
  15. Known issue, has been reported multiple times. LL just needs to find time (and moles) to fix this.
  16. What was the problem? And what was the solution? Clearing your post removed the opportunity for others with the same problem to find the solution, which is rather selfish.
  17. See if you can find a way to turn off font smoothing. It could also be called font anti aliasing or something else.
  18. Debated for a bit whether or not to add this one because I don;t like having to blur out parts of my pics. Oh well. The original text accompanying this pic was: I'm spending a weekend in Paris and I even got myself a date! Now... he told me to wait outside carrying a shopping bag over my shoulder. I hope he won't mind that I am also wearing my lucky heels... I
  19. That sounds like Freya. Unpacking a new HUD usually helps.
  20. The answer depends on who owns the land. Case 1: You are your own landlord - Go wild. Subdivide, rent to others, do whatever. You own the land so you set the rules. Case 2: You rent the land from someone else (not LL) - Either read the covenant or ask your landlord/landlady directly if subletting is allowed. Now, assuming you are okay to have others rent part of the building (part of the land, actually) you can purchase a rental system and set it up according to the manual. Some depend on you having subdivided the parcel into multiple smaller parcels, others don;t care about parcels and will just collect the rent and remind your tenants that is is time to pay (and if their rent expires, some can evict them).
  21. They have been killing SL for the past 19 years. You'd expect SL to be dead by now....
  22. It is left unfinished because that will be the location of a future Linden Homes theme. When that theme is put in it will get finished.
  23. Bots and fake accounts are not going to click any ads. That's the whole issue that both Elon and twitter have with these accounts. They take up space and don't create revenue.
