Hi, my avatar itself is acting up on any Sandbox island, wiether I teleport to a Sandbox island or I am already on a Sandbox island, my avatar was fine all morning and afternoon but then at around 5pm carrying on until 7pm right before I decided to just log out of the Secondlife program for the day my avatar started acting up. I do not know as to if I just kept landing on some kinda odd pose spots that someone had been messing with on Sandbox island or if its something else thats going on with my avatar, all I know is at 5pm until 7pm lastnight my avatar started acting up while I was attempting to edit it and open purchased items for it to try on. What exactly my avatar appeared to be doing, well I dont know what it was doing exactly, but what it looked like to me was somehow while I was trying to open an item up to be able to apply it to my avatar, it was just a simple lip gloss shine item, and all the sudden when I clicked on it to open it, my avatar runs or something, like does very fast running motion before it then seems to run into something huge like a black wall or something and then after it does that theres a huge club room showing up to the right of my avatar which was not there before, and when I try to see my avatar, I find her laying on her side on the ground of the island, in what appeared to be some kind of sexual Humping pose, but I couldnt get her out of it, no matter where I clicked, I clicked on her to try to get her to stand up or even to sit down, I tried making her move like walking or running or flying and all that did was drag her in that pose she was in around the island, it was extremely odd and embarrassing because it really did look like she was in some kind of sexual humping pose where the male avatar is supposed to go while he is to be holding a female avatar right infront of him as if humping the female avatar from behind while laying down. I couldnt get her out of this odd pose thing for about 1 to 2 hours before some random male user decided to add me to his friendslist and then he and I got to speaking a bit, but like only a few sentences before I mentioned to him that my avatar was having an issue and I couldnt get her out of the appearant pose she seemed to be in, he then tried to teleport my avatar to where he was on second life to help me get out of the pose issue I was in, which worked, but he ended up taking me to not even another Sandbox island but a random teenage hangout place, my avatar did turn to normal, meaning it stood up correctly and stopped with the wierd pose while there, but everytime I tried to teleport to a Sandbox island my avatar seemed to be continuesly falling from the air and everytime she was about to land on the island ground, she repeated falling, she wouldnt stop doing this no matter what I did, in fact half the time she didnt even come close to landing on the ground she would just be falling in the air and then midway down shed keep acting like she hit the ground on one of her feet with the knee bent, while the other leg was bent, basically it simplly looked like how she landed was in a males wedding proposal kneel with the male on one foot and the other on his knee as he proposes to whoever hes trying to be married to, but the difference from my avatar doing the full proposing pose was that her legs were in the correct posistion for a few seconds before she was on both her hands and her head was down as if she was trying to do the instinctive bracing ones self as it assumed it was really going to fall to the ground or run into something, but then a few seconds later she got back up as if she had tripped and fallen like that but didnt fall completely but instead kept bracing herself so she didnt fall completely, then she got back up from where shed apparently fallen and then she went back to falling again, I couldnt get her to stop so I just decided to log out for the night. While she was falling she looked like she was shocked to even know she was falling, she looked as if she was freaking out a bit infact while she was falling, I do not know what was causing it, I tried to move, run, walk, fly, adjust camera angle and what not but nothing helped at all, I have yet to log back into the program today because I really do not want to find out the problem I had lastnight is still occuring, its really embarrassing because not only am I a noob to this game, but I am also extremely new to this game and from how Ive been online on programs like these, being new to these kind of virtual worlds has always been shunned by various users be they noobs themselves or pros at these programs, either way its definitantly not fun at all being laughed at about this, being bullied about this or even being seen doing this because I cannot seem to control this at all and it seems to just be random that my avatar is doing this. Not only this problem I am currently facing on Second life but I am also facing another problem that also started occuring lastnight, it started at the same time my new male friend who was trying to assist me in the game teleported me to where he was so he could actually help me and see my avatar, after he teleported me and could see my avatar he asked me if my avatar has any hair to wear, I asked him why hed ask that and I answered him and said "yes, my avatar does have hair to wear, shes currently wearing a free hair now", he then told me he infact could not see the hair at all and that my avatar just appeared to be "bald with little puff balls on both sides of your avatars head" (that is exactly what he told me), I told him those puff balls were just my cat ears, but I was a bit concerned that my hairstyle I was wearing was not showing to anyone else but me, he told me to try switching hairstyles to see if its just an issue with the one I was at the time wearing, I did and he told me that while it was loading he saw it but then after it loaded I ended up being bald again, we waited for 20 min but still no hair showed up at all, he told me to try relogging into the program, I did, the result from him was that I was still bald from his computers screen view, yet the whole time I wore any hair I could completely see it the whole time, only when I removed any hair was I even bald, so I do not know what the heck is going on with my hairstyles but apparently they will not show up to anyone but me, they are free hairstyles but if I were to purchase a non free hairstyle I fear id be spending my virtual money on secondlife for nothing if the non free hairstyles refuse to be visible to anyone besides me while I wear any hairstyles at all too. I dont know how to fix these problems Im having, I dont know what to do about this, I dont know why my avatar keeps acting up randomly, I dont know why no hairstyle I have to wear will not show to anyone who isnt me seeing my own avatar. Help, answers, anything that will help me or even fix these issues Im having Id like very much to recieve. Also I have another question that is not exactly related to my issues with my avatar, but more of a question Ive had ever since I started using second life last year, my question is Why does my avatar look like shes 30 years old no matter what skin and what facial changes I make to her head, shes always looking like some 30 to 40 year old mother, shes got tons of wrinkles and even when she wears a teenage looking skin, she still looks like shes some sort of model body form stressed out 30 to 40 year old mother, so she looks young from everything but the face, but when it comes to the face the skin looks youngish but the way her facial features show such as wrinkles and such, the skins I buy do not have any of those issues from what the catalog shows, but while I wear the skin it looks like my avatar is a 30 to 40 year old mom, its really annoying. Well I logged back into the program this morning just now and everything with how my avatar is moving seems fixed and all good now, I dunno if my free hairstyles are visible to anyone else or not though. I googled about why my avatar looks aged, according to most of the answers I found, the reason is the skin, so depending on the skin I make my avatar wear, it will change how old/young my avatar looks. So all the issues appear to be fixed except the hair issue but then again that hair Im wearing is free since I am still on the search for epic non free hair for my avatar, so it might just not work right because its free, I dunno, but I do know ill be buying a non free hairstyle and hopefully my male friend will be online when I wear it so that he can tell me wiether or not my hairstyle is then showing up or not. It's ok now everything is working properly, thanks for the advice/help... Sorry for making my post stuff so big.

I just bought an Angry Kitty outfit, I just opened it and only about 5 pieces of the outfit are actually wearable. I am very much a new user to Second Life, I have no idea what to do, and this is frustrating me because I paid for this outfit and it wont let me wear it, the rest of the outfit items are shown as orange boxes in the inventory, I am unable to open this outfit up any furthur, Ive even been trying to figure all this out for about a day now, and I have not come any closer to figureing this out. Now my problem with my inventory items, for the Angry Kitty outfit I just bought, the items in the outfit that have the little orange box icons, when I attempted to open them hoping it would solve my issue, there was no shown ability to open these items and the items are just black outlines of the items they are supposed to be, for actual example of what I mean by this, these items such as a belt the outfit comes with when I bring it out onto sandbox island while trying to figure this all out, the item is completely black, no color to it what so ever, but its clearly visible to me that it is infact a belt, the whole belt is outlined, it basicly looks like the shape from a cookie cutter after you use a cookie cutter shape on cookie dough and u remove the dough, the shape is clear, but the inner details that make the "thing" easier to figure out as to just exactly what it is, is completely no detail at all, the outfits belt isnt the only issue, other issues in the outfit are the cat tail not showing up, just a black round small item that would be the tail part that sticks to the tailbone area of the avatar, but if I remove it and let it just be on sandbox island to try to fix it to actually be the tail its supposed to be, it shows the little round part, as well as these strands of black lines, around just 5 or 6 strands of black lines coming from the tail, Im assuming that is the rest of the tail but either way I have no idea at all as to how to fix these issues, the other items doing this are the braceletes in my outfit, the cat ears in my outfit, the shoes in my outfit, and any other accessory pieces such as jewerly and extras (the cat ears and tail for example of extra pieces), I hope I will be able to get this answered or I hope to be able to figure this out, its bugging the crap out of me. I have read the answers I have received, to try to answer to those answers, my computer is a acer netbook and when I first entered the program for second life none of my starter clothing was even showing up on my avatar, and whenever I moved or anything my avatar would go from looking bad to looking like a smudge and it failed to adjust itself even after waiting 1 hour, as for the outfit, I just unboxed it like I normally would, and when I tried to wear the items I'm having issues with, the items are just black so basically they look no different trying to fix them on sandbox island then they are looking on my avatar, they are just black items. According to one of the answers I was provided with, I'm glad the outfit is working just fine for you but it will not work much at all for me, I've already attempted to try to figure out the tail issue I'm having but all of these items have barely any change effect or even no effect to change at all no matter what I do to it, I've even sat around waiting for the tail to load completely Incase it was just slow at doing so but nothing happened, all these items just appear to be black colored meshes or something because I have seen almost identical stuff like this on another program called IMVU, where I have seen this on imvu is where users on imvu are able to create their own items and such for imvu on a creator program imvu has in its chat client program, but from what I know of that, I know that the items I'm having issues with here are acting like they are just meshes to the outfit I bought, but yet these meshes are the only parts there, there is no mesh tail or cat ears or belt or any of the other black things I've received instead of the actual outfit I assumed I was getting as well as an actual tail, cat ears or belt or anything else, there is just these appearent meshes of the items, the only actual parts of the outfit that show up as they are supposed to are the pants, shorts, panties, sock things that look like almost thigh high ripped up slightly transparent grey stockings or tights like what female office workers wear usually in real life but more towards this outfit cat theme, the tattoo for the outfit, the long shirt top, the short shirt top, and the bra, and the arm warmers, everything else does not show up correctly, all the rest just shows up as black meshes as I described earlier, I have tried to mess with the items to make it correct but nothing has worked, even when I try to save those changes the changes just go back to the way they were before I even made any changes, I've even tried to mess with the items colors, no change, they stay black no matter what I try to do to them. As I've stated previously, I'm extremely noob ish to second life so I have really no clue as to anything I am even doing on the program, I barely manage to access areas of the sites store without having to try to find where the hair and skin and such all is buy able, also when It comes to locations on the program, everything is completely black except for areas with fields of grass and such, this was not happening before when I was trying to use second life a year ago on my old computer before it decided to almost pretty much no longer work after its lasted 6 or so years in constant use to the point where I almost never shut it off at all, as for the places, when I tried to go to the exact virtual store on the viewer that I bought this outfit from nothing of the store showed up no matter how long I waited for it to, the whole area besides the grass and just land areas did not show up at all, so I didn't know how to get into the store, I didnt know where anything was at all so I had to rely on waving my mouse pad around until the correct outfit name showed up for me to buy it, the site part where the outfit is however, stated that there is a link I can click on that would allow me to actually try on the entire outfit first before buying it, nothing happened all it did was teleport me to the store and that was all. I have no idea what a REZ is even though I've seen videos on it and such, nothing is making much of any sense to me at all right now, and yet the only real issues I'm currently facing is trying to get around without my avatar looking mentally retarded, wearing anything, trying to make it so I can wear stuff I own, being able to see buildings and such like the stores virtually, heck when I signed up and such, it didn't even take me to the start place that it took me to on my old computer a year ago, it just took me to the middle of no where where it said I was in Asia. So I have no clue as to what I'm even doing, my items refuse to work, barely anything that's not grass trees or default land will even show up on my screen no matter how long I wait for it, my clothing never loads or even shows, my avatar shows off as a smear whenever I even slightly move it, my avatar completely fails at moving like everyone else is moving around mine just looks like some messed up demented retarded idiot, I can barely get around anywhere, I cannot find anything easily in the site shop, and I think that's all my issues at the moment. Oh also, when I tried to open the tail and the other black stuff, the only things I got from them were scripts with pretty much no info besides the scripts stating that they cannot be edited or anything, even though the script titles said such things as how to resize and such the belt and how to modify the other stuff, but it didn't say anything, the only thing it said was that the script cannot be edited or anything, so all the items I'm having issues with only come with scripts, there's apparently no actual items, also I just bought a free hairstyle, It does show up when I try to wear it but with a big black box ontop of its head, also the hair is supposed to be blonde but it's red hair not blonde hair, the box won't go away at all, the last time I saw this, was on my old computer, the box is apparently actually a sign like some kind of advertisement for the hair that cannot be removed without the hair being removed with it, so I don't know what's going on their either, I'm thinking about re installing second life onto my old computer to see if theres any difference. It's ok now everything's fine, I think I just needed to update my second life program because since I did, I've been able to see everything properly
