    I saw a photo of me on a poster "Wanted, dead or alive, $L1000" on a house next to mine. 

    Then the land acted like it was restarting, I was bumped off and now I cannot log in anywhere though I haven't

    tried in the past few minutes.

    I did click on the photo poster of me on that persons wall wanted to see if I could remove it or see any info about

    how it got placed 

    I need maximum security on my house, have ban lines turned on and security orb turned on always. Noticing lately stupid

    sound gestures when my gf is present..

    Can anyone advise how to lock down this premium account house so idiots cannot mess with me?  

    Maybe it WAS restarting and just took a little longer to come back.  The picture might just be one of those items that displays all visitors to a region when they arrive.

    Of course it is expensive - average outfit is 300-800 l (about 1-3 usd) - for that price you can buy phone game. Mesh body is 2700 - more than 10 usd - for the price you can buy some indie game or dlc to big game. Head is 5000 - 20 usd for which price you can buy AAA game (on discount) or big DLC or bunch of phone games. Is really creating some mesh (with all scripts, alphas and stuff) come in comparision with creating full game or big DLC? Prices are simply outrageous. Either you find a way to solve this or you go. It is that simple.

    You're comparing apples to oranges and not very well either.  I'm not a gamer so all those examples are irrelevant and as Prokofy said, those are all 2D with no interaction.

    People who smoke pot would go and smoke pot in RL, not come into a virtual world.

    Not true.  I know a lot of people come in either stoned or drunk.  Not sure why but they do.  I try to avoid those people.

    One thing I would recommend is exporting your shape via Firestorm to an XML file. THen you can don a new shape (with your new head) and IMPORT thos XML settings. It won't get you (even) vlose, head wise - but it does give you a starting point - and you WON'T screw up your old shape!

    I always make copies of my shape and stick them in the head demo folder but your idea works too.

    In life I have 0 tattoos but would like one, however on to Seren: she has 2 tattoos and recently went BOM.  My two tattoos are custom to myself; a celtic heart on my tummy which represents my real life celtic heritage and then is my paws on my back which for me show my love of cats.  

    Years ago, I had a custom celtic knot made for my shoulder.  I don't think I could tolerate getting one in RL.  Just the thought of it makes me shudder.

    My AV is inked from neck to toe since 2010. Tattoos have become sooo deeply embedded into her character that she is unrecognizable and feels naked without them, kind of like stepping outside with that retina-scorching red head you get when you mess up your BOM with alpha layers :shudders:

    From where I come from, tattoos (even girly and cutesy-wutesy ones) are still kinda taboo and many establishments ban you from entering if you have them so they are one of my repressed RL desires that I can only live vicariously through my avatar. I always admired the Suicide Girl aesthete but I can only enjoy that on SL especially now that I have kids and I do not want them to be ostracized because their mom looks like a gangster lol

    My go-to “parlors” are DAPPA, Vegas, and Garden of Ku. I have bought so many sets from them that I pay compliments to other avis when I spot them wearing familiar styles. In my earlier days, I liked Seven of Himeji. I think some of their works are still available on the marketplace.

    Tattoos can also cover skintone disparities and that unsightly line between mesh head and body that no neck fixer seem to fix for me.

    I used to wear them in SL for years.  I'm not sure when I stopped or why I did.  My go to store used to be White Widow.  I haven't seen anything from them lately at any of the events though.  When I did wear them, I like symmetry and they always had that.  I've never owned one where it was random stuff here and there.  To me, it would be too messy and make me crazy with sides not matching.  Hey, I'm a little OCD, what can I say.

    I use tattoos more as a "fashion accessory" or way to compliment a look.  The one that I do gravitate to most though is the angel wings that I wear most often.

    I found reviews to be (overall) helpful. A couple of times, they spared me from some unsuited purchases and I tend to also leave reviews, if a product showed to be especially good or bad.

    Although, in theory, I agree they can be helpful but as I mentioned, they aren't always truthful.  I never purchased anything based on a review but then I normally only buy off MP from creators I'm already familiar with or who have a demo which I always try first.  Anything gadget, house or other than clothing related, if they have an inworld store, I'll go there to demo a product.  A lot of the time it's something someone I know has recommended to me personally.

    not,
    if needed support tickets will be escalated to be handled by a Linden(employee)
    Except some rare situations, Lindens will step in here at the forums, mostly as moderators, or with techie issues.
    Direct contacts by IM /notecards will be ignored by most( some even have it on their profile)

    The old days are gone for long time sadly.

    What?  The Linden bat signal isn't working anymore?

  10. I think the reviews should be done away with completely.  Someone recently posted about her MP sales being down and wondered why.  So I went and took a look at her MP store.  Frankly, I found most of her items to be sub par compared to similar items.  At least front e pictures.  However, one item had 40+ 5 star reviews.  Curious, I checked the.profiles for 10 or so reviewers.  Even curiouser is the fact most I checked were day old, had completely blank profiles and strangely similar names.  So what is the point of the reviews when the can be skewed the other way as well.

    Some of my hairs are modify, I wonder if I put the hairs on alpha masking if it would help the alphas clashing with eyelashes/some hairs?  

     

    It may be forehead angle you are talking about.  I'll try it and play around with it then.  Thanks very much, Skell!

    Edit:  Belinda, I don't know how BOM works either.  I thought it was affecting how my hairs sit on my head - it isn't as I thought BOM was a whole system but I don't know anything about it.  I don't know how the heck it works or what it is doing either, but I do have a better avatar complexity and better computer performance as far as FPS I'd like to keep testing to see what's going on with that.   BOM seems to up my frames per second in busy places and I have less lag.  I dunno why or if it's a coincidence with things moving to the cloud or what but I'd still like to do some tests on it.  

    Go BOM if and when you have a real reason too, is my best opinion about the whole thing, because it's frustrating.  

     

    If you edited your shape for your new head, this is probably the cause of your hair not fitting.  Did you use a copy of your strawberry shape when starting with your new one?  If so, check to see that the head shapes are the same size and especially forehead slope (not inworld so not sure what it's called).  Nothing about BOM would cause your hair not to fit.  Only a change in your head numbers.

    My right and left arrow keys turn me too fast and I am always making big quick turns. Is there a way to slow down the arrows? 

    Do you have a left and right turn animations in your AO?  If not, those would help.

    This has just happened to me also - I got hit with something that made my av crouch over and unable to walk at all - I tried everything  - I had to strip down to my system av ,remove ALL attachments and AOs,  revoke ALL permissions, turn off ALL ability to run scripts on my parcel then reset my avatar skeleton - NOTHING WORKED. So next I downloaded the LL SL viewer and installed it (I'm a Firestorm user) - went back in world and I was normal again. Next thing I did  was to completely uninstall the Firestorm Viewer - including Registry Keys and ALL associated files - see here for instructions https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_clean_install - then I installed a clean copy - AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING - my av is still deformed when using the Firestorm Viewer. Whatever the hell this is - it is pervasive.

    Did you check gestures as suggested in the other thread?

    I'm not sure how they could ban you from anything other than their land or groups..I don't think people can ban you from vendors and market place purchasing, but I may be wrong.. I've just never heard of it happening before.

    if you really wanted something from them, try gifting it to your main from an alt..

    I'd like to hear from others if it is possible to get banned from certain stores on the MP or from vendors at a fair.. That's a new one on me..

    There was a girl in another thread recently who was banned from buying from a mesh head store.  On MP and inworld so apparently, it's possible.  I don't see the rational behind banning the purchase of a product.  As the OP mentioned, it's kind of shooting yourself in the foot.  If I were banned from a store, especially for a bad review, I'd be sure to tell all my friends about it.  And they'd tell some friends and so on.  If you don't want bad reviews, don't sell on the MP.  It's part of the process and to me, it only shows that the merchant knew they had inferior products and didn't want anyone else to know.

    Hey Peeps -

    I have a Sinse male 'WIll' AO and a couple times now, for no reason I start "crouching" and cannot stand up or walk normally. The last time it happened I had to completely delete the AO file from inventory and go get a redelivery. - Is this AO simply getting corrupted?  TBH I wondered if I'd been hit by a griefer and had something dropped on me. No reply from the store so I'm asking here. Never had this problem before in over 10 years -

    Do you have your ground sit enabled accidently?

    i like using the bom relay then the ones off the body huds

     

    But you don't need it if you've turned on BOM from the HUD.  Using a relay makes no sense whatsoever if your head and body are already BOM.  You turn it on once and done.

  17. LL can charge whatever they feel they need to charge.  They can double or triple the price of land, membership, whatever they choose.  We also have the choice not to pay.  I don't NEED my plot of land.  I can easily log in and out pretty much anywhere.  If I wanted to build something, there are 3746574837 sandboxes in which to do so.  SL is only expensive in comparison to what each person feels is too much.  A lot of people spend hundreds a month eating dinner out or seeing a movie. Others have memberships to county clubs.  Everyone decides on what and how much to spend on luxuries.  Do I think it's expensive?  To own a SIM, yes but that's not an important aspect to me.

    This one by Tableau Vivant might suit you

    There Ain't No Cure for the Summertime Blues

    Or, this one by Argrace. It's older but holds up nicely

    Zoe

    One is from Shi? They have a lot of shorter unusual styles

    Classic

    or, Opale (much older but maybe?)

    Anis

     

    Love the one from .Shi.  Not sure if I've tried that one yet.  How old is that one from Argrace since I know they retired most of their older styles which is a shame.
