Here's a link to some free pose stands in the SL Marketplace. Do you have any buillding experience at all? You might do well to take some building lessons from the New Citizens, Inc. group, also known as NCI.

This site shows how obsessed people can be about things like the ranking system in Lithium forums. http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Building-Community-the-Platform/bg-p/MikeW/label-name/ranking%20structure

If your hoop is considered hollow by the physics systerm, you can make a sphere that is small enough to fit through the hoop, turn the sphere physical. then use the built in functions that enable you to pick up and throw physics enabled objects. Put the mouse over a physics enabled object, the cursor will change to a hand, click and drag the mouse around , the object will move. Press the Control key down, put the cursor over the object, it changes to a hand, click and drag the mouse around and you can move the object up and down. Play with these a bit and you should be able to do a crude job of throwing the sphere. You can use scripting to make a shootable ball. You could modify the pop gun or other similar script that comes in your inventory to fire a basketball instead of a bullet, and modify the visible part of the gun to be a baketball or part of of avatar's outfit.

There seems to be a jira that's a sub-task of the one linked in the other answer that's about the new mini-map: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-643.

Here's info on the image animation mode options for those that might want to uset them. Using about:config In Mozilla Suite and Firefox: In the Location Bar type about:config and hit Enter Type "anim" in the Filter field (to quickly find the needed preference) Double-click the image.animation_mode line and edit it to one of the following: none — will prevent image animation once — will let the image animate once normal (default) — will allow it to play over and over Animating once might not be too bad.

Just because something is being seen doesn't mean it's accomplishing it's purpose. Annoying people repeatedly shows up on view counts just as well as pleasing or influencing them in the desired manner does. Your animated badge here is one the two I've got blocked so far. Your animated badge about viewer 2 in the Jive forum wasn't quite as annoying as the badge you're using here. Seeing that animated viewer 2 signature gif did not improve my opinion of viewer 2 any, of course, but it did cause me to be slightly annoyed in connection with viewer 2 many times. I suspect that if the ability to make specific animated gif files display the first image but not animate was buillt into browsers that there would be a lot less animation being displayed. I suspect that if one could turn off the animated gif files but still see the first image here in our settings there would be a lot less animated being seen. Unfortunately these options aren't available. The only options are to see the animations repeatedly, press escape after each page display, or not see the image at all, so instead of seeing a static version of the animated gif, you see nothing. I'm not interested in never seeing any animated gif files anywhere on the internet, so the about:config suggestion isn't something I want.

I don't see a separate thread on this topic, so I'm making one. The way the replies in the Answers section are displayed, with the most recent on top, and hidden comments, strikes me as being terrible. Answers should work like a normal forum, with answers displayed in either linear chronological order down the page or in a properly threaded format, per individual choice.

I do not enjoy seeing animated gif files in forums, they wear out their welcome in one cycle at most, often less. I do not like having to press escape to stop the animation with each page display. I use Firefox and the Adblock extension. This lets me not display specific image of my choice, so I'll be blocking animated gif files in badges, avatars, and signatures if they bug me, which most will. The Opera browser has image blocking built in, I think. I'm not sure how to block images or otherwise stop animated gif files permanently in other browser, but there might well be a way to do so. People thinking of making an attention getting animated gif file might want to consider that the response they provoke might be annoyance coupled with having the image permanently blocked from view. I'd be ok with not allowing animated gifs at all, if that's an option Lithium offers, or letting individuals block animated gifs for themselves, if that's can be added to the user settings. So far I've got two badges blocked and have seen one signature I'll block the next time I see it, and that's in just a few minutes of looking at the forums.

The writing and text panel backgrounds obscure whatever image you used for the background image, whether it be a bigger avatar picture, landscape, geometric design, or what have you. That they block what's behind them isn't a matter of what is behind them.

I agree, I'd like to be able to choose whether to have writing or not.

Is it possible Greasemonkey or Stylish away some of the text on the badges?

Please welcome our new member: This is his newest work, titled "Lithium Mona Lisa."

Your name is nearly illegible owing to being a dark color on a dark background. Is that an intended effect?

Your name is so hard to see it might as well not be there at all. A number of other people's names are equally illegible. Some of the stats lists have dark text with light opaque backgrounds while others have white text with a transparent background like yours seems to have. How do you do that?

The text that says Posts: Topics, Solutions on your badge is white with a translucent background, the other people in this thread have black text on an opaque white background. Why this difference?

What private forum list?

This sad, lonely forum doesn't even have a post in it. It's just barely possible that "Release" isn't the best possible name for the forum, unless it's where you're supposed to go when you need to release some steam, which seems rather unlikely. Presumably it's about either releases of the viewer or releases of the server. In either case a better title would be a good idea.

Happy Rez Day! How old are you in SL years?

I see my rank has increased a good bit already. It's not high enough, though. What do I have to do to become Community Manager? :smileywink:

Apparently to have a post show at the bottom you have to reply to the last reply. Got to go

Nice to see so many rapid responses, and not a threat of bodily harm in the bunch. How are people liking this new Lithium powered system so far? What's the battery life? I think there needs to be a "Reply to the original post" button at the bottom, doesn't there? I didn't see one at the Lithium company forum. My next goal is to figure out how to get a custom forum avatar. I'm wondering if this is one of the privileges that higher ranking people get. I have a lot of time in the forums but not under this real name account.

How do I get a custom forum avatar?

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that a person could make friends by starting a thread that says hello. Hello. :smileyhappy:
