    I believe that SL is about the worst venue to ‘meet’ and get acquainted with that total stranger! Without going into details of how things ‘usually go’... it’s just so difficult to go from first greetings to being truely aquatinted with a new friend.

    When and where are first hurdles to overcome, then SL remains backseat to each other’s RL factors. Getting a handle on these are absolutely required at most upfront stages. If a week goes by after that 1st (sometimes exciting) chat before happening to see each other a 2nd time... that’s a big crusher of those preliminary  expectations. Who remembers that far!! Especially when you’ve had a dozen other prospects in that amount of time. 

    I openly chat, or approach, ALOT of prospects and rattle off greetings. First because being a male, second because I can count on one hand the times I’d been greeted by a female ( other than the usual of begging for L$s).  

    BUT Ladies!! If you happen to be greeted by someone that you’ve liked.... Please try to consider, at least, sending a WAVE back within 2 or 3 days (even if it’s saved as offline) to help get over this hump!

    That’s my biggest issue, ladies never initiate IM’s. I DO send saved IM’s... but if met with no response after a couple attempts.. well i’ve Gotta move on.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking of.

    Gadget (and others):  I just TP'd to Cartel LM, using two ways. First was the inworld Search, second is Gadget's LM (above).

    Both landed me at a spot on beach below the bowling alley, which is a secluded spot by water (lounge, table, umbrella right there). Trouble is.... one needs to walk around the foundation of bowling alley (rather far) to come up on the other side to get to main walkway. It took some searching to find my way to the bar (possibly my primary target!!).

    Could I suggest to owners/managers that this Land Point be moved to somewhere better? Maybe near the book of info.. just outside the bar. All is just my thoughts from my first visit! I've gotten my good LM, on walkway leading to Bar or up to bowling... this is it here:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Allana/187/49/26

    Instant Message Harassment?

    I do send “hello greeting” but always when within same sim. Never from the group list... will just group chat from them. 

    Most of the time I’m within sight, of a reasonable distance.... and will say so. “Hello, nice sim  here isn’t it? am relaxing here under umbella.  If I don’t get a response within a few minutes.. I move on... then in many minutes, well, I may TP off to points beyond! I do not continually attempt further greetings. 

    I do this BECAUSE if I don’t say nothing to anyone.... I’d die and become a lil pile of mesh sand before any girls will IM me!!!

    Some places are just ridiculous, everyone knows clothes take time to rez. Besides, just because there is a dress code, to me it's a bit much to be looking up dresses to enforce it whether she has knickers on or not!

    Haven’t read thread, above, but Yep, i’ve been Ejected from venues for not having proper outfit on!!!

    I had experienced the Red Cloud feeling for an excessive amount of time when logging in earlier. Haven't had that happen in MONTHS.. but is usually when there's a major body part 'missing' in inventory. Tonight.. I waited (nearly 5 minutes) but all did rez without further trouble. Main difference from previous Red Smoke moments is that I'm now all mesh.. and not a 'system' body.

    I'd imagine, further.. it's due to being Tuesday!! (a late one at that because of holiday)…. when restarts roll thru Slife here.

    Hope you're has straightened out.. it can take some time to 'load inventory' and may have been problem. You can open your Inventory and look at bottom.... it will read as "Fetching'.. if having trouble loading/finding things. BUT all should straighten out with a lil amount of time... and lag-monster settling!

    Isn't there two levels of 'block'?  There's one that's MUTE and the full "BLOCK". (?)

    Being a guy... I don't generally have a problem and my block list is small.. only a few of the griefer types blocked out.

    The.. de-rez option, I know... only works for yourself and not others that come to property... (pretty sure anyhow).

    Dream, you may have your Mum check her L$ transactions on her account, from her dashboard site. See if she did actually get YOUR ID and not another that is similar, by only a letter or two.

    I'm unsure BUT... the way MP acts for me (in a regular Browser) it can be confusing.....

    When I add to cart and go to Checkout and Buy..... it goes to another screen with the ACTUAL 'buy now' click at the very BOTTOM of page. I have to scroll down to it.. to actually factually BUY the things.   That page is FULL of other items (which I may Wish to pickup … on the way out.. I guess! and I DO NOT). Is so confusing at that point.

    Don't know if that's the problem here or not.

    Fortunately there are better animations for 'typing' that look more like one is speaking.

     

    On my mesh head, the mouth will move, as speaking, while typing on local. Further, there is three different styles to choose from.

    There's a setting in your Viewer to stop that. If Firestorm, it in the Avatar (top left) and down to Preferences. I believe it's then to CHAT tab (am unsure.. but in there somewhere). It's just a checkmark thing. (then hit SAVE, rather than X to close pref window).

    In SL view.. am REALLY unsure.. but should be under ME (top left), then Preferences as well.

    Hate to say.. and biting my tongue at giving out details..... SO best to just say   * BE THAR, DONE DAT*   O.o

    I just ask because I don’t accept all objects that I receive, being LMs, ads, and just things. Do get some spam type things from realtors that I happen to TP into a lot that gets me on their ‘list’. 

    Tho, keeping on thread’s topic, I don’t ever recall receiving a NC from any ‘level’ of friend. I might need to recognize the sender before accepting.

    There was one spam list I got onto that was a real pain to get stopped (wazza noob back then!). Think I ended up just blocking them.

    In the past, when I was involved with a guy that spent much less time in SL than I did and our times didn't match well, we wrote letters to each other on notecards.  It was nice having a notecard waiting for me when I logged in, to catch me up on what he'd been up to.

    I do understand that, altho how would you feel about receiving a NC from nearly a total stranger that is attempting to show interest in getting to know YOU? Would you, 1st accept it, 2nd open it, 3rd read it, and (maybe) reply... even if it’s a No Thanks?

    That's what sending Notecards is for. you can write little letters back and forth and keep up to date when you are offline at random times.

    I like idea of using NC's... for more than one-line IM's. Altho.. as mentioned... bulk of my acquaintances are in very early stages of getting to know each other (and still don't actually see any of them in-world). Most all is small talk (dating suggestions, etc. at most) so one-line IM is about best.... and besides I know some can be apprehensive of 'opening' things, even if only a NC.
