Hey Thinkerer.
Re. your queries:
"The person who does have access to the sim must be listed as the owner. Normally the owner can can control who can enter the sim. What happens when the person tries to set the access to let other people come in?"
Yes, the person who has access to the sim is listed as the owner and yes, I too thought that whoever is owner can control who can access the sim (via Access in Estate Info, etc). But when we add anyone else, it just won't let them in. We even created a Group, added all the team members ot that and set Access to Group...but nope. Nothing. No-one but the owner can access it.
"When you say no L's to build with, are you saying that you have not received a stipend or that you are also unable to transfer funds into your SL account from the account set up by the university? If the latter, did the university set up any arrangement to pay additional money beyond the cost of the land?"
When we ordered the region, our order included a bulk purchase of $1,500 of L$s to fund building and admin. Although it's recorded that all funds (including the $1,500 for the L$s) were received on April 3rd we haven't yet had a single L$ credited to our account (the purchasers account) ....and as they haven't as yet replied to the numerous emails we've sent them, we don't know what the hold up is in delivering our L$s.
It's the lack of communication and explanation that's becoming wearing (also the fact that we were scheduled to present the island and conduct a hands-on workshop at a Learning & Teaching Conference in the UAE...next Monday. :smileymad:
I'd be interested to see your blog, if you do one!
