[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

Let's try again....   

[Zuckerberg Comes for the Metaverse]

This is a good discussion of a timely topic.  As a gentle reminder, "if you have a personal disagreement, do not post about it on the Second Life community pages. Residents who have personal differences have other channels of communication available to them — private messaging in the forums, IM within Second Life, or chatting within Second Life."  Please help to keep the conversation alive for everyone.

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

A mild reminder about the obvious: When threads go off the rails, it's usually because they have gone off topic or because disagreements have become personal. Once a thread is closed, it's time to move on. 

[So your club is not doing so well....A guide to better club owning]

Discussion has wandered too far off topic.  It's time to move on.

[Prim Light/PRIM_POINT_LIGHT temporary color fix]

In the process of doing triage on a system that Coal was scripting, he and I verified  that the actual color of a projected light that you create with llSetLinkPrimitiveParamFast's PRIM_POINT_LIGHT parameter is not the same as the color vector that you feed the function.  As he notes, Linden Lab has accepted a BUG JIRA on this issue.  Coal's empirical workaround will give you a corrected color vector that, when applied with SLPPF, will generate the color that you originally intended.  This will work until the JIRA is addressed in a viewer update at some point.

[These are the times...]

It's time for a gentle reminder that political discussions can get out of hand quickly.  I think we'd all rather not have that happen. Please veer back onto the original theme of this thread before it heads into uncertain territory.

[NextUP and other Gacha Replacements are still Gacha]

I think maybe this dead horse has been beat enough.  Tempers are starting to get a bit thin, so it's time to move on. 

[NextUP and other Gacha Replacements are still Gacha]

Step back from the keyboards, please, and take a few really deep breaths.   It's good to have a hearty discussion, but please remember that we are expected to avoid personal attacks.  You are encouraged to review the Community Guidelines.

[Morality and Law]

OK, I guess that's it. We all need a rest. 

In the future, please remember that this is a public forum and that we are all expected to follow the http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Community_Participation_Guidelines.  Discussion is always encouraged and disagreements are inevitable, but please resist any temptations to attack each other personally.

[Morality and Law]

It's time to slow down and take a few deep breaths, guys.  Disagreement is fine, but please keep it polite.  Watch the personal attacks, OK?

[Smoking: Influencing vs Programmability]

OK, this thread's been going off the rails for a while now.  I think it's time to wrap it up.  Good night, all.

[Smoking: Influencing vs Programmability]

It feels like time to take a deep breath and back away from the keyboards.  Please remember to be polite.  Bloodshed will not be tolerated.

[Linden Realms Error While Using the Daily Collector for the Crystals]

Great, how do we go about claiming our messed-up weekly payments?

I suggest submitting a support case . Include the name of the region (either LR167 or LR187) where you tried using a payout pad, the approximate time that you tried it, and whether you used the daily pad or the weekly one.

[Linden Realms Error While Using the Daily Collector for the Crystals]

We're sorry you have been inconvenienced this weekend. We have been trying to figure out why the payout pads in Linden Realms have stopped working, but it's going to take some time.  As a precaution, I have deactivated all scripts in the payout pads so you cannot lose any of the credit you have for crystals and quests while we work on the pads.  I can't predict how soon things will be working again.  Meanwhile, you can still collect crystals and complete the quests.  

 

[I notice a subtle color change on the crystals and trees in the Fantasy Homes!]

Yay!  It's meteorological autumn now!  This is one of the occasional benefits of using the shared environment settings in your viewer instead of using custom EEP settings or just locking your viewer to Midday. It's a magical world.  🌈

How do I get rid of the LH - Camping - Williamsburg v4.71? I greatly appreciate your help with this!

All better.  You can always submit a support case if you have problems, but I happened to be cruising through here and saw your note.

Nope, you can't see into another region unless the one you're standing in is joined to it, even if only joined indirectly via other regions.

Besides, Moles are sneaky.  We do our best work when you can't see us.

@Quartz Mole, @Dyna Mole, would this work?

Probably.   It's worth a shot.  One of the nice things about EEP is that you can not only personalize its effects, but you can trigger it differently for each person if you are clever enough with scripting.

[Social Island, Welcome Island, pop ups that won't go away...]

You have two options:

1. As instructed on the Guide Book's menu, "Click the GUIDEBOOK button in the bottom toolbar or Help menu > Guidebook".  (The GUIDEBOOK button is on your viewer's taskbar by default if you are a SL newcomer, and the Help menu is at the top of your viewer screen.)

2. Hit the F1 key on your keyboard.

No fair peeking.  😉

I have a Linden Home, and rezzing on the floor works fine.
My guess, they have plain prim floors inside.

Nope.  We just know how to make good houses.

small boxes that can be found up in the sky that are owned by the Moles and are meant to be there.  They are the region controllers for the homes and are always located in a public land area in the region.

Mess with those and your universe will start to shred at the edges.  😈

Man, I am really bad with SL permissions.  Any thoughts?

You are not the only one.  I hate dealing with permissions. I like Molly's list of suggestions about setting perms and abilities for doing group work. In addition, I would suggest ,,,

Some things I can just take possession of by shift-dragging it.  I delete the copy I made, which belongs to her and which I have no problem deleting, an own the one left behind into which I can insert my scripts. 

Don't do that.  I know it's easy and fast, but it doesn't always work properly.  (I don't know why, but it just doesn't.) Even when it does work, the risk is high that you will absent-mindedly delete the wrong copy.  I remember a former colleague who was notorious for doing that on our group work.  It's much safer to use Save Copy and then rez the copy from your own inventory.

Sadly, it seems the Memorial Park's flower planting system is ... glitchy.

Yes. As noted in a couple of threads in the forums, it's on our radar. The technology there is quite out of date, so it will take more than a quick band-aid to bring the park up to present standards.
