You don't even have to be female to get pregnant from it. In my first few weeks in sl one got me pregnant, I thought everyone could see the spam it was making, Glad to know now that I didn't accept anything to get pregnant from it, I was doubting my sanity at the time. I had to get my bloodlines clan people to help me find an abortion clinic. If it wasn't for crap like this bloodlines clans might be the scourge on sl some make them out to be. Whilst in my experience they were the support network that helped me get out of things like On Duty pregnancies and lieing dominants rlv traps that really bothered me and many others when they first join.

I am afraid having had my sim griefed by newly created throw away avatars, I too have put a system in that bans avatars less than 15 days old. It is maybe on reflection a blunt tool, but I have only had to add one person in a year to the exception list. I am used to groups visiting the sim to notify me in advance (it is usual practice with biker groups). Had you done so I would turn the age restriction off for the duration of the visit. Maybe prior warning the sim if more than 8 turn up at once would help in future.

I found this tool to be useful, mostly because you can see where things should be and how long your arms should be, how long your legs and torso. Easier for me anyway than using boxes and trying to work out what should go where from written guides. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Model-Shape-Tool/3518033

Whilst they are here it would be nice if they gave the Lindens some advice on anti-spam security measures. They could at least try to make themselves useful.

I always open the wold map if I come to a place I wasn't before. Then I zoom out and see on which continent or on which estate that sim is. And since I know where my home is I have a fairly good idea of where I am in relation to my home. We only have a handful of mainland continents, which are easily recognizable by their outlines and general layout. Also there are some other hints that are dead giveaways. In no particular order: If you are on an adult sim you're almost certainly = Zindra if you're sourrounded by many rivers or you find yourself in a huuuge snowy area = Sansara when you see many well-kempt hedges and lots of billboards on the side of roads = Corsica many train tracks and a once beautiful lagoon turned into a fugly suburb = Heterocera small peanut shaped, completely circumnavigable continent = Gaeta V half-finished with lots of water on the west coast = Gaeta I a totally puzzled ragtag continent with lots of badly laid out waterways = Nautilus a huge fjord going almost thru the whole continent = Jeogeot a continent that looks like 2 jumping dolphins = Mãebaleia Also it must be mentioned there are also waterway corridors not only between Sansara and Heterocera but also 2 from Nautilus to Corsica and one from Corsica to Gaeta V. Nautilus and Mãebaleia are connected by the Bingo Strait and Nautilus City, so they form one big supercontinent. Gaeta was planned as a setup of 7 continents but they got stuck on 1.5 since 2009. Zindra is also only semifinished and will probably never get anywhere. As so often LL totally mucked up the world planning with hilariously expensive tier costs and wrong continental layout. Instead of incorporating the Linden Homes continents into the general setup of mainlands they placed them somwhere on the grid and by that created the most boring and undesirable places to call home ... ever. I call them n00b ghettos :smileysad: Concise and thorough round up of the Linden Continents. It did take me a while to realise Mãebaleia is a different name for Satori, though. I have not noticed it called that before. The wiki has an article on the continents and a map (including private ones), I am surprised no one else has mentioned.

Winamp has some plugins or there Mixx, which is probably better since winamp is stopping or something soon.

I am not really understanding you, but I think you want to be looking for support here: https://support.secondlife.com/contact-support/

I tend to check the forums from my mobile phone. I see the spam, report it then go view another forum. It just isn't a good use of my time to go searching through the pages of spam to find a new post. The lindens inability to manage the spam problems are pathetic. Not just the forums but now the profile private messaging system is useless for anyone other than friends. It really is astonishingly amateur they can' t deal with this better.

Try r-clicking the cloud and selecting refresh textures. If others are seeing her as a cloud she could try reseting to default avatar.

I was talking with someone using mesh studio in world to make mesh parts for her bikes. She showed me a highly detailed creation that she made that was 14li. She went on to tell me it was made out of over 1000 prims. With the tools and time alot can still be done in world.

It is astonishingly inept they don't use filters to block this kind of spam.

Unfortunately nothing about fixing whatever security exploit they are using to make the feed message box useable again as a contact method for people not on your friendslist. I have had to turn that off because I have been getting regular in world notifications. 10 messages in the last day

I used to just change the shape sliders to fit the mesh outfit but it is much harder to do when using slink feet and hands because you make an adjustment to fit your legs to the skirt and then your feet don't fit or remove muscles from your shoulder so they don't stick through the straps and then your hands are too big. I wish a certain popular full perm clothes maker didn't have body fat and other settings so low on her "standard mesh" clothes.

One reason I have encountered is being blanked by the creator when I asked them if there was anything they could do to remove the 500 scripts in the no mod no copy expensive outfit I bought. I just put it down to a bad buy and have never bought from that store again despite their good reviews on marketplace.

At my home location I use a Novatech gridwide teleporter to get to other properties I own or favourite destinations, but you can use other teleport systems like this one (although I haven't tried it - I do have something similar).

When I found my mainland home I found the easiest way to do it was to open up world map, put the land$ labels on and scan around mainland and explore.

Kelli May wrote: I can only offer my purely subjective experience I had used the Emerald/Phoenix/Firestorm family of viewers for as long as they'd been around. Before that, I was a big fan of the (no longer available) Nicolaz viewer. However, I've found the recent Firestorm viewer prone to constant dips in frame rate when in busy areas. An apparently reasonable avergae fps of around 25 drops over and over into single figures, causing jittery camera movement and controls. For the first time in years, I shopped around. I tried Catznip first, but it gave me similar probems. Now I use Singularity. There are things about it I don't like, but generally the interface is fine, and the performance issues I used to see are minimal to non-existant. So for my purposes, on my PC, it's the best. If helps make a decision, I'm running on these specs: CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 560 Processor (3315.11 MHz) Memory: 4096 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 (Build 7601) Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 Windows Graphics Driver Version: 9.18.0013.1422 OpenGL Version: 4.2.0 Viewing on a 1920x1080 monitor, with fairly high graphics settings (ie. detail sliders maxed, advanced lighting, shadows, reflections, anisotropic filtering, 4x AA). I had the same issue with firestorm dipping in performance and I tried other viewers and had the same problem, singularity seemed the most stable. But I have now popped some more RAM on my motherboard and now have 8Gb of ram. The lag in firestorm has gone but I am finding Singularity shuts down on me regularly, so I am back on my prefered firestorm.. (Prefered mainly because it is what I am used to).

It would be interesting to know the average heights, but it is not really the issue. How you want to look relative to your friends and others is really down to you and the heights of those you interact with. Personally I try to keep just under 6ft tall and alot of my friends are similar sizes. However I have a few taller shapes so I can avoid the embarassment of having to decline a dance because my eye level would be about the same level as their crotch.

You don't always get what you want but you do get to deal with all you experience as you are able to do. Can you please discuss that point with starving children in Africa, with crime victims, with laid off workers who can't pay their bills anymore, with flood and earthquake victims or civilians caught up in a war. Tell them they are losers and ask if they felt sufficiently entertained and if they care for another round. People lose their jobs, can't pay their rent and get broken hearts in SL too and well people leave SL for all those reasons (a bit like monopoly). For the first 20 years real life was undergoing regular development, but since then any improvements seem to be overshadowed by bugs. Whilst the graphics are exceptional and still are, the lack of windlight settings is a real shame the inworld filters you can get are mostly bug fixes. For those that like online sources, here Real Life is the oldest game, it is on the internet it must be true...

1. What do you buy in SL? Most of my money goes on tier and rent, but I also buy clothes, skins, attachments, building materials, textures, scripts, vehicles, houses, animations... pretty much everything. And this last couple of months quite a lot has gone to the relay for life charity. 2. Do you always buy products free of charge, have you purchased Linden Dollars (LD) or do you work and earn money in SL? I mostly buy linden dollars, but make some pocket money off djing, rentals, bike sales and sim donations. There are some good freebies around.I have some plausible body outfits in my shopping cart at the moment (although they are technically open price not freebies) and some freebie language translation huds to look at. 3. If you have purchased LD: How much money do you spend in SL for two months? Why do you spend money in a virtual world? In the last 2 months I will have spent over 1000 USD on linden dollars. I spend money to create an environments for others to enjoy and because I enjoy it as a past time. 4. If you buy products free for charge: Why don't you spend LD when you're shopping? Some freebies are better than bought items. And well I do already spend far too much on shopping. 5. What is your favourite company in SL? Why this company? Currently I am amazed by the quality and low prim counts of Dorian Meredith's houses and I got some great customer service off her. But really there are so many good companies\places to spend money... a few to mention...Novatech, Tama, Karyn's scripts, Meli Imako, Dutchie, Epia, Route 66, Neurolab, Graves, Cold logic, Ray Silent, Simbaz, TIS.. I could go on and on... They all have great products and those I have needed to talk with directly (Tama, Karyn, Dutchie, Neurolab, Ray Silent, Simbaz, TIS) have all given prompt good support and customer service. I nearly forgot Jessica Chung...she never seems to sleep and is always around promptly to help with sim problems.. If that avi is one person then the customer service she provides is extraordinary, 6. Do you own shares in a SL company? No. Although in the recent past the cost of the sim was met by me and one other, but their circumstances have changed so it is no longer the joint venture it once was (admittedly this is pushing the definition of a business beyond the normal sense, but I am thinking this might the sort of answer desired from the question).

Improve sim crossings so we can actually use the roads without crashing all the time. Larger sims for dogfights and stuff Change the TOS so it doesn't read like you want to own us Improve the default avatar mesh to get rid of those ugly angles Improve customer communication

I think some huds protect against this sort of thing by displacing the avi and camera from the avis actual location. The followers would therefore go to 50m away or however it has been setup. Rather like the way offsim swimmers and surfboards work.

A&M do some good couple dances. The rock n roll one is a must - hehe

The other options for couple dance ball servers are made by there in spirit, but they will cost about the same and you will need to buy dances for it anyway.
