Try with held <ctrl> (or <str> or whatever that key is labeled on your keyboard) key like Amethyst said but instead of dragging it on the object itself, right click the object (already before you press ctrl and drag so the window is open and click the contents-tab of the board) and drag your texture directly into your content. Also some of those ad-boards require you to drag stuff in a certain order or are impatient, or require you click twice or that it's Monday the 13th or something, so make sure you really read the instructions those things give - sometimes they give hints as to what they desire of you not just in a notecard but in localchat, make sure you check that.

I have a crypt that is dark inside, and it´s a seperate mesh, like the fog you can get, just it´s roughly the shape of the inside of the crypt and doesn´t move like fog and is black-ish. Maybe if you take some mod-fog :grins: and pull it into the right form and tint it dark. Just an idea if you can´t build something like that yourself and find no better solution.

It means items that usually are for sale on MP that reference copyrighted 'badass' names to find buyers are put there by sellers who haven´t bought the necessary rights to use those words to market them, copyright, you know. You wouldn´t even be allowed to sell say an 'Eldr Scroll Outfit' here (intentional 'typo'), or an 'Outift like xy from Elder Scroll wears'. If you don´t want to read a lot of info on that, just click 'Upload Mesh' in your viewer, that gives you a link to the LL-site that would give you the ability to upload mesh if you passed the multiple choice 'test' and will give you a good and brief idea of what is and is not allowed to be sold on MP. It means, otherwise: don´t buy them! LL have the right to and might take them from your inventory. ___ Try typing terms like 'Elder Scrolls', 'Grand Theft' etc. into the in-world-search in your viewer under 'places', maybe something shows up, would work in case of GoT for RP-sims for example.

Sl is just my private fun, but since I´m in the EU and this might affect my RL work, I had to read into it. To my understanding it says basically that if you´re a EU-based business and deliver digital goods to a private customer in another EU state your service becomes taxable in the customer´s country (up to now taxes of where your business is based applied). Reason for the new regulation is, of course, what else, more tax justice...businesses like amazon for instance are based in low tax countries legally but have the highest income with selling to high tax coutries, whatever. MOSS is there so people with small businesses like me who don´t have a legal and tax department, won´t panic and give up their business because they need to apply for taxing in all other EU countries, in case someone from wherever downloads some digital content every 7.5 years. It doesn´t matter anymore where the business is based, just where the service is being delivered. Only for digital goods. If someone in France downloads something from me, where he is, in France, the new regulation applies = French taxation, if I´d burn what he wants from me on a cd and send it to him, in France, where he finds it in his mailbox, taxation of my country applies. Total logic, isn´t it, the only question is why has it been different up to now If I´m not in the mood for VATMOSS, I'll have to, clearly, well visibly, exclude people from other EU-countries from the blessedness of being able to download my business's digital goodies. I couldn´t find anything yet on non-EU-countries, so in SL-terms, this should only apply to merchants who are a EU-based business (that then depends, as ever, on where their countries draw the line between private non-taxable, private but taxable, taxable ) and sell to someone who downloads their products in another EU-country. I´m no lawyer, I´m no accountant, just someone who hates taxes, not even to pay them, but everything around that, it´s just how I understood the info I read on the topic. If that is the case though...do you as a SL merchant get the IP of someone who buys your virtual shoes? I hope not, and if not, would that make LL viable to have to send you a list of which amount your MP, or inworld-business sold to which other EU-country, monthly, quarter-yearly, or yearly, depending on how often your VAT -declaration is due? I don´t know, I don´t hope, life 'out there' (and most of all taxes) is complicated enough, so maybe a prayer to whatever virtual gods SL-merchants believe in for LL countering it like suggested in a post is in order, I really don´t think world economy or tax justice would suffer too much if everything went on as it has in this case...

Maybe many people are clueless which of their avatars she is asking about, too, so remain silent But the things people who don´t take it too literally and write about how Second Life, less so their avatar, impacted their life, are very interesting to read. For me, there were good things and bad things, the best impact on my life is that I can do things I can´t in the more ordinary life, I´m mainly roleplaying and can´t really command the elements as a mage and such things unfortunately in the other part of my life, and, still better, that I have a handful of friends through SL with whom I share that and more, people I´d most probably never met else. It distracted me in a difficult time of my life, too, as with many things it´s impossible to say if good or bad, as you never know how it had been else My avatar(s) itself/themselves, I like them, I have fun with them, but as a roleplayer I rely on words most of all, the avatars, mine and others' of course are a great visual addition, I´d not return to forum-based-RP, but my avatars themselves hardly have any impact on my 'RL'...apart from having made me poorer

Since it seems some people only had their honestly bought animations replaced but didn´t receive the mail or didn´t find it in their spamfolders or wherever, I´m pasting my mail here, fyi. I´m not really impressed with how the mail is written. Another interesting thing, and that´s maybe why some didn´t find the LL IP e-mail: The mail was sent to one of my accounts, the replacements happened on ANOTHER account's built-in firestorm AOs! I didn´t notice any replacements on the account that mail had been sent to, and after I noticed the IPreplacent in the other account´s AOs and, later, got the e-mail, I did check. Also: their replacements suck, since I noticed them because my avatar was suddenly hovering half of the time when he should have walked...1 of the 2 walking animations had been replaced by a 'generic placeholder item'.

I can´t tell for your exact combination, but as I know how hard it is to get laptop advice on SL without everyone wanting to convince you of a desktop (which you already have) and it might help for reference: my last laptop had i5 and a 540m and ran ok on high setting mostly, my current one has i7 and 765m and runs fine on ultra mostly without lag. big difference, if ever possible I´d get one you can have shadows on with, it adds so much from my POV, but guess it depends on what you do in sl, I roleplay mainly.

You´re not alone with the latter at least, and it´s slightly worrying in my case, cause I put my main char´s ao together carefully to visually depict his somewhat deranged mind, so I have to hope it´s only me catching myself and nobody else

'So my profile is quite open, I am honest in irl too, should I be honest and keep it in SL profile and tell my RL self or should I hide details from what I am RL? and be more anonymous, like most are there' The comparison is a bit flawed. I usually don´t leave my house wearing a spreadshirt-tee with my hobbies,sexual orientation and the like on it in blockprint. No idea why more people in sl should know about my hobbies than there do irl. If you want to be honest, there´s no need to put it on your profile, just don´t tell a friend you make in sl you play football while in fact you go to ballet classes when the topic comes up in conversation. And generally my reply to 'detailed real world bio information on profile' is no. There are great people in sl and there are the not so great. And it´s amazing what you can find out about people since the internet with the right searchterms. Better keep the 'detailed rl info' for those you do trust. And don´t trust anyone
