    Unable to set display name?

    I am going to check the "have display names checked thing as that was a good idea although I never changed it. 

    And that was it.  There was no check in that box

    I wonder if there's a shortcut for it? I know I've accidently switched things on or off while forgetting the right shortcut for the thing I'm trying to do. Doesn't explain your friends all having the same issue though...

    not everybody loves the pie menu to death.

    Well, FS has the option to not use the pie menu for those of us who don't like the pie menu.

    Why can we have an option to hide the age in our profile?

    What would happen is, you would have people becoming leery of accounts that hide their age and start treating them as if they were new accounts..  It would be kind of silly to all of a sudden not be allowed into places because you decided to hide your account age..

    Being leery of those with no age on display would only be an issue if 'hiding' was optional (which I know is what the OAP... sorry, OP... is asking for). Instead though I'd suggest that by default NOBODY'S Second Life age is visible, so everybody is on equal footing (or equally leery of each other).

    I would however perhaps have it that the hidden age only comes into play after, say, the first 6 or 12 months of membership - that way we can still know that somebody is a 'newbie' and anybody without an age on display is 'six month plus'.

    Then if you really want to know how long someone has been in SL, you can just ask and believe them or not like everything else.

    For 2015 - Lara is still around. I think, though not sure, that Eve is still around.

    The original Eve bodies are still around/available, and in more recent times as added the creator has also added Cristal and Ruby to the range, not to mention numerous heads. She's also had something called 'Avatoon' out for some time now.

    For the 2016 line: Tonic is still around, though they recently put out a new body (Prima) so not sure if it'll stick around. And I just bought an outfit from a recent event for the Prima body.

    Tonic bodies are back on sale now that the the Prima introductory offers are over. I'm hoping Prima takes off -  I think it's a really nice mesh body. I always liked the Tonics when the shoulders and arms were hidden, but Prima is a vast improvement.

    Looking for advice on graphics card (and cpu) for new PC

    in General Second Life Tech Discussion

    Posted

    I'm all set to buy a new desktop PC, but hesitating on decisions around the graphics card and CPU. Advice on whether I'm just wasting money on specifications (or the wrong specifications) would be appreciated.

    I was about to forge ahead with:

    • Intel Core i5 Six  i5-11600KF (3.9 GHz, 12 MB Cache)
    • 12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3060 
    • 16gb RAM (2x8gb)

    No real rhyme or reason to my choices, other than "Ooh I think 12gb sounds good for graphics! It's a higher number". I'm sure it's good, but is it also pointless?

    I guess the question is - is that overkill for running SL? Should I go with the GTX series instead? How important is GPU memory - is higher Gb on the GPU beneficial?

    Would more multi-cores and/or a higher CPU GHz be better place to put my money? An i7 maybe?

    Notes about me: I'm NOT (currently) a gamer, and for work I MAINLY use my computer for graphic design and publishing. Hobby wise I also use it for some music production just using a DAW and virtual instruments. There is however a possibility I may be doing some video editing. A multi-monitor set-up might be something I'll want for the future.

    Any advice would be welcome.

    At least it's opt-in --- especially for the 34 of us that don't have smart phones.

    It's optional... For quite some people it's even impossible

    And for some us, we live in an area where there is no mobile/cellphone reception, so it's not an option.

    When you leave something that way as far as I know... the person buying it will then be able to get into all of your scripts

    Scripts have their own permissions. You can put a no-mod script in a mod item and the script will still be no-mod. The item itself will still remain mod, which means I can delete that script if I want (or even put my own in!), but I won't be able to open the script itself in a way that will show me the contents.

    They are, but not because the purchase of Kinder eggs is considered gambling.

    It's because confectionery cannot contain “non-nutritive objects” under US regulations.

    Paid history pushing back chat history in IM

    I've never deleted any L$ Transaction History, nor would I want to -- and I cannot even find a way to do that on my L$ Transaction History page

    To be clear - I'm talking about the transaction history in the viewer (and specifically in Firestorm - other viewers may do the same, but I can't verify), not the one available via the account dashboard.

    This has happened to me on numerous occasions through the years. It always seemed quite sporadic though,

    I think payments only become part of the viewer's transaction history if you do NOT click on the 'OK' pop-up for each payment. It stores them until you acknowledge/delete them.

    Clarifying I meant the transaction history in the viewer.

    For some reason in IM whoever i'm talking to if they ever gave me any linden over the years it's all appearing at once as the most recent thing,

    Unless it's a different issue, there is a 'normal' thing where un-deleted payments in the viewer transaction history keep getting added to IMs. So along the lines of what @Karly Kiyori said, check your 'Transactions History' tab in the viewer.

    If it's what I think, the list you showed is NOT actually payments from over the years - it's probably just the SAME single recent payment (or collection of payments) repeating in the chat each time you open it, making it look like a lot more.

    While ever the transactions history tab shows any transactions, it will keep repeating them in any IM chat you open with the person who paid them to you. So even if it's just ONE payment listed, it will keep adding it to your chat each new session. Delete it (or any others) from your transaction history, and they will stop repeatedly getting added to the IM chat window.

    Like Tiny Empires?

    Hmmm! I don't think I'd heard of that before now. Maybe kind of like Tiny Empires I suppose? Only less specifically medieval! Although I more imagine 'Third Life' to be just like Second Life. It's what my avatar 'plays' in - not me! 😛  

    But I'm up for layers of metaverses within metaverses!

    Paid for an item, didn't get it, seller doesn't respond - what are my options?

    Why don’t you just Skip the notecard method and just IM him?

    I hate them too - but will do it if requested as preferred method of contact

    I just do both anyway, regardless of what they say (unless they specifically say NOT to do a thing).

    Write the IM about my issue, add a reference in my IM that I've sent a notecard, copy it all into the notecard (minus the bit about referring to me also sending a notecard because that would be silly), post the IM, and then send the notecard as well.

    Comparison of Mesh Body Features

    The Mesh Directory will probably have what you are looking for: https://digitalregeneration.com/the-mesh-directory/

    As a guide it's a BIG fail I think for simply not including the Tonic mesh bodies, which are as well supported if not more so than some of the ones they have chosen to include. But somehow SKING is on there?

    I can't see how anybody can put together a guide to Second Life mesh bodies and not include them (there are other omissions of course, but Tonic is a major one)
