As was said, get a viewer, you obviously do not have one. After that, as long as you have breasts and a **bleep**, stand still.

Dunno but I've got the exact same situation here on both viewers. I too was on earlier.

Thanks everybody :matte-motes-grin:

Well I never had a product but how do you reder non-operational?

I know this is probably a very basic question for a lot of people but not for me lol . I recently purchased a set of sculpted stairs no matter how I seem to place them within a house my av is unable to walk up them, Around them, but not up them. Is there some trick to placing them. I noticed that even in a purchased house where the sculpted stairs worked perfectly fine when rezzeed from the box, if taken into inventory and then attempting to replace them, again they seemed to be unable to be walked up.

I'm sure there must be a way to dismantle/not have a store set up. But for the life of me I cannot find the button.

I remember that vision. I had it once. .....actual neighborhoods, people walking by. And in truth it exists just not gridwide. You see that (or at least I have) in rp neighborhoods or sometimes they're called "family rps". For me personally I approached "all" of sl as an rp . In a way I still do. Not so with a lot of people. And since they essesntially are using sl as a truely pimped out chat for their firstlife, you end up looking for "an rp inside of an rp" if your view was like mine. Just info that might help.

For me, when I started I liked looking as much like me as possible. Some people "hate" that and wonder what the point of sl is then. My thing was that I actually like myself physically (very much in fact) so that I wasn't in a hurry to "look different". Height included. I didn't "care" if other people wanted to be 7'10" (although they did tend to look alienish to me -It's the thighs, they just are SO long), that was fine. It only became an "issue" when attempting to dance with or date someone. I can't really date you if you look "alienish" to me Similarly I'm not attracted to tall women. (Some like blonde, some like brunette, some like em packed tight and curvy ) In the end have I changed my avatar height? yeah. but grudgingly so lol. Otherwise no one is "eligible". As for the child avatar thing: ANY thing is arguably "short". If the majority decide to be 10feet tall then 8feet becomes the new fair game. Where do you stop then? EVERY height is "suspect" depending on who's in the room. And that becomes pointless. So (in my opinion) worry more about what's on your profile and whether or not you're saying things like "I'm only in junior high"

While all of the explainations I've read so far are accurate and beautifully crafted (I could never have come up with it). The explanation for someone who has no exposure to virtual worlds is "its like the sims, except other rl people play the other characters". Yes, thats "not even beginning to capture all of what second life is (etc)" but its what "regular" people understand.

God I wish I'd read those books

When an object is sold for linden dollars, those linden dollars go to that person's account. If that account ceases to exist, then the linden dollars disappear from the virtual economy. LL makes their money on premium accounts, tier payments and the sale of sims (which is really just an extension of tier payment plus setup fees). And they make a small amount on fees when dollars convert to linden dollars and when linden dollars are converted to RL dollars. The purchase of virtual goods simply circulates linden dollars amongst the residents. --Cinn A little off topic, but this argument (by LL, that is) is a bit flimsy. They sell Linden dollars for money. That means they're worth money. I kind of think that argument is just there so they can pretend they're not accountable if something goes wrong, because most people won't go to court over these microtransactions. I think Chelsea is right when she says a court would have to handle any serious issues. If I read it right it actually is that LL is NOT the seller of Linden dollars. A third party is . LL charges the third party a fee for allowing the circulation. In which case, again, they are not accountable or responsible for Linden dollars. To an extent they are in a similar catagory as the merchandise they purchase. At least for LL.

Its a busy song lol. Even Bing Crosby sang it at one point (nope not kidding).

I prefer the interface on Viewer2 also and like BT have had out of focus for the last day. I've cleared the cache so many times its sickening and even rebaked the textures. All I can hope is its a SL problem and will clear itself as mysteriously as it came.

Wait!! What are the "tricks"?? I just recently had NONE of my house objects return to inventory after sending them there.

Elisheva, can I have permission to put that as a quote on my profile? lol and yes, I'm serious. I dunno the thing "getting" me today is people who SAY they want the truth but when you give it to em they want you to hide it. I met a lady and had meticulously chosen my group memberships realizing they were viewable as a way to "presort" people based on interest. My thinking was if you were "against" or disliked things I liked then no need for us to get tangled up with one another only to diverge at later. This woman who VERBALISED being angry that people were assumed to be this and that only to find out later who they really were then made it her business to "educate" me as to how NOT to disclose those very interests. Pleople SAY they want honesty. They do not. They want you to be whatever is their comfort level

I don'r think "adult" locations (which typically really means sex/prostitution type things) get listed so much in the "destination" portion for that very reason. Striving to keep it more "public frendly" maybe. Like you and few newer folks I've been reading here, my prior was a lot of roleplaying (indept typing and that kind of thing) what I'm learning./seeing is that that doesn't so much happen here. Lot of shorter answers/conversations. And I haven't seen a "romantic" oriented rp yet. Sex -plenty . But not adult romance. Kind of an extreme. No sex allowed or" if you're not into the sex don't enter cuz thats our focus" Maybe its that your romantic relationships will have to be within other "generic" roleplays? Dunno.

Perspective of someone actually new and looking: It would seem that developers/land entrepeneurs go for the off-mainlain areas where they are free to develope the space to suit their ambitions. While you might indeed find such a person scouring the mainland sales I wouldn't think the offers from them would be all that high because of overall low prices on the mainland. Exceptions of course being a scenario where the majority of an area are already owned by me and I just need the last few parcels. As a "run of the mill " player though, never would I pay much for anything on the mainland (and thats where I'm looking around) because of the pre-existing things around it. Walking in, looking around , I see a bunch of "junk"; bunches of monstrously sized things hanging overhead or nearby my "prospective" new home , mile long bill boards closeby, a huge business (using up bunches of prims for the entire sim) and I don't want to live there. Commercial builds "on top of" your residential space is a "no go". So you pretty well don't see any area as all that desirable. Second life is not "new" at this point, the novelty has faded , and with it the readlily available influx of buyers for goods OR land. Then add in RL availabilities of monies in a time when no one has it and it's an "of course" to not be able to sell it. The only land I would judge as being "oh so desirable " would be distanced from another build by at least a couple meters , and if not watered (cuz it c an't all be water -I'm reasonable) then at least a few trees and greenery should be in the mix. Thats not what you see on the mainland . You see it in private regions where the arrangement of whats where has been very regulated. The mainland then becomes a place for people "willing to try to work around a bunch of eye-sore type builds, without any ambiance (a well placed clump of trees and a rock even) , in order to find cheapness."
