  1. If the dog is no-copy, and it was set to "sell original" rather than "sell copy" it may still be sitting in the shop waiting for you to "Take" it.
  2. Tiny feet are to fit prim shoes. Wide hips are a disturbing new trend that's hitting RL too; Thigh Gap.
  3. This sounds like a very poorly rephrased version of the Firestom compulsory update a month or so back, when one of their versions had some debug code left in it. Sounds like someone is exploiting the idea to spread panic. It reminds me of those scammers who phone you up pretending to be from Microsoft, telling you that they've detected that your computer is transmitting viruses over the internet. One simple rule: Don't log in except on SL's own website - check the address bar at the top of the browser. Only secondlife.com is valid. Oh and keep your anti-virus and anti-malware software up to date.

Despite what your friend may be claiming. I bank with Barclays in the UK and this is a legitimate series of texts from the bank. Even if you do not sign up for telephone banking they keep your mobile number on file and if there are any suspicious activities on your debit card they send you this series of texts. I've received them myself (not in relation to Second Life). It's also not necessarily the amount of the transaction that throws up a red flag. It might be a purchase on an international website you've never purchased from before. One time I got one because an online purchase just randomly happened to go through at the exact same time I was using my card in an ATM an hour or so later and it flagged up as the card being used in two different places at the same time. Your debit card will also be disabled if you don't respond to the text, or if you respond "N". If you respond "Y" they allow the charge to go through and reactivate your card. It's just their standard (and very quick) way of dealing with potential fraud. These texts did not come from LL or from the scammers.
  5. Wasabi Pills? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Wasabi-Pills-Sebastianne-MESH-Hair-DEMO/2747509 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Wasabi-Pills-Lily-MESH-Hair-DEMO/4690606 They have a few like that.
  6. I genderbend a lot (my most usual group tag reads "Gender Hacker"), I play avatars of just about every gender there is. So I'm gonna answer them all. Why do you think that people want to play as their opposite gender on an online game? Tons of reasons: The clothes are better They like to experiment They like to look at an avatar they're attracted to. They don't want to be flirted with They don't want to be thought of as inferior They want to attract a romantic partner of a specific gender & orientation Deceit Roleplaying a character for a particular story/setting They would like to be the opposite sex in RL They are transsexual and SL is a place they can be themselves How do you think people respond to players who are not the gender they play as? How would you respond? Depends on the person. Often the negative reactions come from those people who use SL as a RL dating site. I'm always curious when I meet someone else who plays a different gender but I treat them according to the gender they're presenting (if it's apparent - it sometimes isn't). Do you think people who gender bend are forth coming or do they wait to be asked? It varies. A few (including myself) are very forthcoming. Some will wait to be asked. A few will vehemently deny they're not that gender in RL. What is your reason for gender bending? A few reasons for me too, mainly I think I wanted to try out being what I can't be in RL. Personal attraction comes into it a great deal; I'm very attracted to androgynous people. What is the reaction that you get when you tell people your real gender is the opposite of your virtual gender? I have included it in my profile and I tend to hang out in SL with people like myself most of the time, so in general I don't need to tell. Most people are either interested and curious about it, or else they don't care at all. A small minority really get their knickers in a twist about it, but thats a sure sign that they are someone I am better off having nothing to do with. One time a guy called me a freak and muted me over it. When you play a new game do you automatically do it without thinking? I don't play computer games so this question doesn't apply to me. And no, SL is not a game. How do you think the playing experiences differ between playing as a male or female avatar? As a woman I get a lot more unwanted sexual attention than I do as a man. In fact in five years of having male avies in SL I have never had unwanted sexual attention from anybody. When in a sexual situation it's often assumed that if I'm female I must also be submissive, which is far from the truth. On the up-side, I've found that people in general are more likely to talk to a woman than to a man. Not just sexual come-ons, but any kind of casual friendly conversation.
  7. Sim lag, there's nothing you can do except move to a less laggy place. And no, Linden Lab won't fix it, but usually a sim re-start helps and those happen on a fairly regular basis (weekly on mainland, and as required on Estate).
  8. Default skins have the underwear painted on. You just need to get a new skin that doesn't.
  9. The only way to change your username is to make a new account (alt) with the username you want (assuming it's available). You can hide the username from your own view (in preferences, general tab) but you can't control what other people see. If you haven't yet spent a lot of money on customising your avatar, making a new alt might be your best bet.
  10. I was going to suggest the AO too. Nine times ou tof ten a bad shape isn't the fault of the shape at all, it's bad posture
  11. All you did was delete it from the list of saved names for logging in. Just type your name in again (and check the "remember me" box).
