You might find that adjusting your network speed setting in your viewer helps if the issue you are having relates to lost or dropped packets. The recommended settings of 500 mbs and 1000 mbps for WiFi and adsl respectively are maximum values often lowering that can help.

The people on Second Life are not the target to move to Sansar it's for a total different type of players/consumers/creators In the same way Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 are totally different? Being different does not stop Sansar ending up from being called even if only unofficially SL2 .From what I have read, they will be different and aimed at a slightly different user, but not that different, that it won't get called SL2 I look forward to being able to take SL friends to places in Sansar to race on 1024m2 race tracks for boats, motor bikes and cars. I am sure others look forward to playing out Gor or other genre battles. Space ship\air fights on sims of SLs scale are ridiculous, even in warbugs you spend your time hitting sim borders all the time on a sim 16 times that size it allows much greater possibilities. Retaining inventory is much less important for being able to use the two platforms together than maintaining friends lists. If they play this right we will be socialising and playing in both, enjoying the best of both worlds.

The default avis just are lumpy and deform badly in different poses. I can't see anything in the pictures that doesn't to me fall within the range of their underlying flaws. It is something to either get used to, or move into the world of mesh avatars and swap those problems for new ones.

Have you worn the Danika skin on the classic body?

Mainland is a community that allows it and over 99% of the owners there get that. It is the 1% that don't that spoil it for everyone else

Indeed you don't. And a security system around your sky build is fine. No one is objecting to about them. What is a problem are low time limit orbs that extend the full height of the parcel obstructing air traffic for every other user and owner on the mainland

Quite clearly from my context the you was used in a general not a personal way.

steph Arnott wrote: Firstly RL land owners only has rights to 50 meters, above that it is owned by the government, secondly i do not use orbs (they are not that reliable any way) or barriers, but that is not the point. The "some arshole with an orb" comment sure is the point, why do some feel that passing out insults about those that do, after all they are paying for their SL land and not this person complaining. Because if you are flying around enjoying yourself well away from anyones builds and you get shot down by someone with an orb or in real life a missile over their land their calling them an **bleep** is, to my mind, and I would think any reasonable persons, pretty well descriptive.

They don't set up flashing banlines all year around that make their seasonal xmas decorations look tasteful though. They would not get planning permission. Nor do they get to shoot down air traffic flying over their land. And my point was in my experience when I have pointed it out a lot of the land owners have not been aware of what they have done and agreed they also complain about it when they see it on other peoples lands. The land settings are not as transparent about what they do as they should be. And yes they are currently entitled. Just as I am to set up a screen on my border saying Warning Banlines in massive letters as a public service statement whether they like it or not. Neither situation is desirable, because landowners on SL are given priveleges they shouldn't be and that they wouldn't have in real life.

Often land owners don't even know what they have done because they are in the same group and don't see the effect until someone points it out to them.

steph Arnott wrote: "some arse holes security orb gave me 30 seconds" well as i pay over US$90 per week i think i have the right to be "some arse hole with a security orb". I pay about the same and whilst i understand you have that right, I don't believe you should, because it spoils everyone elses enjoyment. If someone bought the land next to me and put up banlines or an intrusive orb it would seriously affect the value of my land. Whilst they can do that, they shouldn't. No one would allow such a thing on private land in real life, so why does or should Linden Lab allow anti-social behaviour?

Lelutka too

Come to think of it I can think of statues of nudes made by moles in General sims.

It doesn't matter what the rating of the sim is. Even more, they show up in search too. G,M or A, i keep seeing nipples. I could look on a map and anywhere with more than 7 avatars I will see AT LEAST 1 person there with no shirt on at all waving nipples around like they just bought them. So .. is it OK to show nipples in all these areas or should I start a one person AR campaign? Of course they are. Now you change the question. Nevertheless, the answer is yes, it is allowed. If you'd asked if it is allowed to show female nipples in public on G rated sims, then the answer is no, it is not allowed. The only exception is art. Art (not porn pics) depicting the naked female (and male) form is allowed. So far as I can see in the maturity ratings that the TOS refers to it is nudity (without an exception for art) that is proscribed, not nipples of any variety, male, female or other gendered. Nakedness means no clothes, not no bras or bikini tops. https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Maturity-ratings/ta-p/700119#Section_.1.2 In the description for general it says: A region designated General is not allowed to advertise or make available content or activity that is sexually explicit, violent, or depicts nudity. Sexually-oriented objects such as "sex beds" or poseballs may not be located or sold in General regions. General regions are areas where you should feel free to say and do things that you would be comfortable saying and doing in front of your grandmother or a grade school class. Institutions such as universities, conference organizers, and real world businesses may wish to designate their regions as General. Likewise their users (and others) may wish to employ Second Life's General search setting to focus and filter search results appropriately. Some landowners and Residents desire a Second Life experience distinct from the activity that occurs in Moderate and Adult regions. Region owners who wish to host this sort of Second Life experience can (but need not) designate their regions as General. If you are a region owner and you feel there is some ambiguity as to whether your content and activities are allowed in General regions, it's probably best to designate your region as Moderate. I would take that to mean the context is important, I doubt exposure of nipples for breast feeding for example in any of those real life contexts would be considered inappropriate, it would be restricting breast feeding that would inappropriate if not illegal. It is not nipples of any form that appear to be banned. What is important is whether the context is sexual. When I was cruise director for topless sailors, a Linden joined us as we were embarking on a cruise from a rezz zone in a General rated area and his only comment was to point out apart from his pirate hat and boots he was not only topless but naked (he was in a skeleton avatar). He did not see any need to refer us to the TOS. I suspect that the Linden policy is left vague so they don't have to make a decision, or can make random decisions to satisfy whatever needs they have at that moment in time. Including nipples in the maturity ratings would expose a can of worms for them just as it is doing others at the moment on other platforms, where a trans man's nipples might be deemed allowed because they identify as male, whilst a trans woman's wouldn't be? what about people that don't identify as either of the two binaries. It is really much better for them to just be vague about it. Quietly banning people from events on mainland only where not doing so might cause them a headache for no stated reason except a vague reference to the TOS, and leaving private estate owners to do whatever they want.

I think the torso and arms look a bit long. Comparing to this picture for example:  You seem to have the torso length of the picture on the left and the arm length relative to the body of the shape on the right. Tweaking them both to look like the proportions of the one in the middle I think, would look better. You aren't far off, but that is really all I can see I would tweak.

If you modify these to alpha masking mode, they can be quite effective as they aren't flat but they are thin and low prim and work well along the edge of a parcel. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/1-Prim-Privacy-Pine-Grouping/4191992 They are modify so you can add other textures to them, I have added a fern texture in the past and reshaped them and they work well together. Also I recommend checking out Tobias Novi's confiers sold in world. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mycenae/102/91/32 Not on Marketplace https://marketplace.secondlife.com/de-DE/stores/15176 They come in clusters of 8 and 16, in a few different shapes and are only 2 prims each and resize easily. They look very good as background planting.

The only difference I have noticed is you can't search for a store name in the first box

You can use a screen wall with a tree texture on it on one side and invisible on the others. Something like this should work: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Forest-Privacy-Wall-full-perms/3638447

Search for "DJ Booth" in the recreation and entertainment sections of Marketplace. I tend to use : https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/were-CLOSED-dj-booth/5377015 I am not entirely sure this NightStore one has dj anims.. I made a prim with dj anims and a few dances in that I use behind the decks, so that is not crucial to me... It is very nice. I suggest checking it out in world. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Sound-DJ-Booth-in-mesh-by-Night-Store/4366935 Daffy's Gadgetmania's booths are a bit cartoon like for me, but also worth a look. Pixlights are worth a look too, but check the land impact\prim counts on them. The Ideza booths look nice, a bit pricey perhaps I have not seen them in world to recommend them though. Also I recommend looking at Leety's Club equipment for speakers and for lasers and dancepads if you want to go wild!

The gallery looks amazing, DJRustye has done a great job!

All I can say is it worked for me when I needed it. I can't speak for others experience. I have also messaged Seductive and sent her a security orb left behind as open source by a creator that left SL in a huff over the TOS changes. So she can try that too it says it supports an age ban.

There are probably other options, but this is the product I used when that was needed. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Land-Security-Orb-the-ORIGINAL-since-2006-by-Thomas-Conover/2471709 You can just use it for the age ban and have everything else turned off.

What pose animations are they?

If you are sure you have done all the above, then I don' tknow what could be going on. All I can suggest is you make a support case and detail what you have done to try to fix it. Maybe there is something going wrong at their end. https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/
