You have no recourse. None. LL will not do anything, not even send a note to the person suggesting that they return the objects or give you a refund of the money you paid. I have been in similar situations several times, but on a much larger scale. You hire managers or staff and they come in and put down objects that they own, and then later they decide to quit and take their objects with them. Or, you hire outside landscapers/designers to do specific work using objects they own, they accept the contract and agree to the payment, give you their object rights, and can leave their objects on your property for months or years. They can come back later, sometimes years later, and suddenly demand more money. If you don't pay, they take everything. The simple fact is, unless you own the object, it is not yours. Many designers/landscapers come in, put down objects that they bought, and you are paying for that design service, but they are not selling you the object(s)/product. They can't, because unless the object is transferable they cannot sell it to you. They can loan it to you, or even rent to you, but they cannot sell it fully to you. If the object IS transferable then they will transfer ownership to you. If they don't give it to you, it is probably because they can't. Here is another issue I have with designers who use non-transferable objects that they purchased from stores and then give you their object rights: They landscape, decorate, and furnish and so on, give you their object rights so you can move things around if you need to over the months and years, and all is good. Right? Wrong. Because most these design people who give you their object rights also give their objects to every customer they have done work for. That means that possibly some previous customer of that designer can come to your place and mess things up, move things around, or return objects, because they have that person's objects rights too. And, really, if you are relying on their objects rights you are at risk if they suddenly decide to leave SL and cancel those object rights, or their account gets deleted, or they go MIA from SL and their account settings become corrupted. If you can't get ahold of them anymore and move to different sim on the grid, you can't pick those objects up and take them with you. It is really a risk if you don't own everything yourself. What you have to do is buy the products/objects yourself and have the designer or staff place them. You own it, it is yours, you can give them your object rights temporarily and they can design/furnish/landscape, move, and modify. If a designer/landscaper is also the creator of what they are putting down, they can transfer everything they want to use first to you, then you rez it, and they do the rest. A true professional sim designer, landscaper, or interior decorator, will either be the creator of everything they use so that they can transfer all to you, or they will give you a list of everything YOU need to go purchase so that you are the owner of every object. If you are not the owner, you will always be at the object owners mercy.

No, it is not allowed, but it goes on all the time. It is griefing, by using rezzed objects, or a hud to attack, cage, harass or otherwise. You should file AR reports every time this happens and hope LL does something about the person(s) doing it. But, most of the people who engage is this kind of activity, once they get suspended, or banned, make a new account, come back, and do it again. It is a never ending battle. If you are being attacked, TP out, or Ground Sit. If you are being caged or bounced around by hidden scripted objects, you can do the same. Turn on highlight transparent and then you might be able to see the objects and abuse report those objects and owners. And also look at your mini-map or nearby list and if there are only a few folks around, begin blocking the other people around in the same sim. Sure, if there are more than a few around, it isn't reasonable to block everyone, but you can do a test to see if the issue disappears after you block a specific person or group of people. Block and unblock and you can narrow the field down There might be more than one person doing this at the same time, so you are getting effected by multiple user objects or attacks. It is game to them. Bleh. You can do an area search and find who is rezzing things around you or scattering suspect objects all over the sim. Easier to report because you report the object and it fills in the owner in the AR. In any case, just AR every time you experience this kind of harassment. Make a notecard as a template for the report if the same thing happens over and over. Copy and paste the text into the report. That way you don't have to type in basically the same thing over and over in each AR. That's all you can do really.

In regards to the website, not the links from within a Second Life viewer, if you look closely you will see that when you login to the marketplace you are actually logging in to a different subdomain, not the marketplace subdomain (marketplace.secondlife.com). Clicking login, it redirects you to the id.secondlife.com subdomain where you login, and it returns you to the marketplace subdomain. If you click "remember me" it is saving that to id.secondlife.com. This process is handled differently on the main Second Life page, so when you login and check remember me it will automate that login until you logout of that account. The marketplace login process, as stated above, is handled in another way. However, even logging in to the main website saves your login data for and to id.secondlife.com. Check your browsers password vault to see how many instances for id.secondlife.com are in there. If you created, logged in, ever as another SL account, there will most likely be more than one listed there. Quite simply put, if you have other accounts or alts, have logged into the main Second Life site even one time with the other account(s) (or a someone else used your computer to login to the website or marketplace), then the cookies, the website data, etc., will remember that, and when it goes to the id subdomain to login it doesn't know which one to use, so you are prompted to login again. This is probably the main cause of why "remember me" is useless for so many people when using the SL marketplace. When you access the MP site directly, once you leave the site, close the browser, have it sitting idle for too long, then the connection that was established between the ID subdomain and the marketplace subdomain basically disconnects and/or expires. Going back to the site from a bookmark you need to remake that connection by logging in. So, if you access your account dashboard on the Second Life Website, go to the Shopping>Marketplace via the menu you will not (or should not) have to login to the marketplace separately. Your current login data gets passed over to the marketplace subdomain. Err, usually. *grins*

Like others here have commented, it does sound like you are talking about the display name, not the username. Usernames never could be changed prior to the recent addition of that feature for premium accounts. The only caveat to that is that when an older account with a first and last name username added a display name, their account name would from then on display as "first.lastname" in chat and by scripts and never returned to first-space-last when they removed the display name. For example, my account username is "Markham Weatherwax". If I add a display name like just my first name, it would now display as: Markham (markham.weatherwax). That period between the first and last is really the only real change to how a username is displayed, however it does not change how we older accounts log-in, which is still Firstname Lastname. I personally have never added a display name to my account, however many of my friends with older accounts with two names (and no period) did and got stuck with that between between the names forevermore. I looked at your SL profile and I see where you changed your display name several times 3 months ago, and finally back to JonnLeGroove, which you had 6 years ago. I can tell you've already changed your account name. What you have now is nowhere close to what your original account name was (I won't write what your previous account name was for privacy reasons). You CAN revert back to your original account name, and the last name you originally had IS still available to you to use for name changes. As stated on [This Page], "No one can use your original name. Your original name will always be yours, and you can revert back to it by changing your name again whenever you wish. Your original last name will also be available to you for future name changes." What it sounds like is you tried to change your display name many times in one day, and you cannot do that. Not even if you remove it and make it blank. When you change a display name it can take 24 hours to propagate down into all SL servers, and you can only change your display name once every 7 days. That means any change, no matter how slight (like capitalizing one letter). If you attempt to use invalid special characters, it can gummy up the works too. If you got a premium account, paid to do a name change, then probably you could immediately after changing your account name also change your display name even if you had changed it a day before when you had the free account (this is only a guess on my part). But, you wasted your money if all you were attempting to do was change your display name.

Same here, when accessing the forums from the SL account page, selecting community>forums. It loaded when I selected the forums link on that not found page.

Check our this thread: And also, if you have have tons of stuff in your lost and found folder and/or received items, clear them out. I've heard of this issue due to having landmarks pointing to invalid locations - especially in your favorites. Read the above thread and the last message there from 2017. It might help. Good luck!

It can and does happen. It can lose all for your settings due to a corruption, or something got borked after a viewer crash, or your hard drive had an issue, or really it could many reasons. Something happened when your hard drive was optimizing itself, or during a security scan, or a disk cleanup. Whatever was the cause, the system files didn't get saved or got corrupted. You actually could have had a crash that wasn't exactly a crash (enough to bring up the crash dialog), but enough that your settings got corrupted. Your Firestorm settings are saved on your computer, not on the Firestorm servers. You do need to save that backup of your settings once you get Firestorm configured again. Make it a routine. Once a week, or month, do a backup. Make a folder in your document folder or on the desktop, go into Firestorm preferences and set your backup path to that, and back them up. Make sure you are careful not to delete that folder on your computer, or have it where someone else can delete it by mistake. And, I'd recommend saving a back up of that backup folder to a disk, usb drive, or even on cloud storage. You never know when you might need to restore a back up of your backup.

It is a strange one. It is really difficult to answer without precisely knowing the details of the house and having seen it ourselves. The best thing to do is ask the creator for assistance. I have actually seen this issue before, at least similar issues. The trouble was that the doors worked if you clicked them on the reverse side (inside the house) and it never worked when trying to open them from the outside. I saw one where you had to click the doorknob exactly in the right spot to get the door to open. Perhaps the doors are not set properly for the "click to", or there are other scripts inside the house (a color script, window scripts, etc..). You might be able to fix this if the house is modify and you edit>edit linked>click on the door to select it, and make sure the "click to" action is set to touch. If you have windows that open and close when clicking them, then that sounds like the doors were not set correctly. If you can right click touch on the roof and the doors open... you do need to contact the creator and ask for help on that, or an update. I'd ask for assistance on that in any case. Perhaps the creator doesn't realize there is a gitch or flaw. Good luck!

That makes sense. Thank you for the clarification.

The real issue is that pose stand is just too generic a search term and so many pose stands are in different categories and subcategories, and many items have pose and stand in the descriptions and keywords, it is darned impossible to sort and display. If the user selects price high to low, it will display one from the gadgets category, another from the animation category, and business/retail/pose stands, etc., randomly, on the main results page. Yours is named TMT so it would be far down list alphabetically. If they select best selling, you'd think yours would be near or at the top, but again, unless the customer goes down to the business category, then to retail, pose stands, they are seeing a mix and match selection from all the different categories on the main page results. Selecting rating high to low, yours is the top one listed. If I were looking for a pose stand for myself I'd probably not even think of looking into the business category, but if I did go there, retail would not be a category I would select or even think to look in right off the bat, if ever. Pose Stands really should be a subcategory under avatar accessories. LL should consider moving that over to there. So, there is no way to increase your relevance listing except possibly by spamming keywords, however, sometimes spamming keywords can drop your items relevance because it is not specific enough. Searching for "pose stand" it will return more relevant by using simple keywords terms, like "Professional Pose Stand, Pose Stand, Free Pose Stand," rather than using the scatter-gun keywords you are using now, "Pose Stand, Posestand, Animation Stand, TMT, TMT Professional pose Stand, Pro Stand, Professional Pose Stand, Too Much Time, Tikuf, pose, avatar posestand, stand," yada yada yada. Relevance really is a esoteric thing, changing, evolving, de-evolving, based on voodoo and mumbo jumbo, anyway. *chuckles*

I assume that you have "sort system folders to top" still checked so that suggests that this "new folder" is a system folder that might have been created by a Linden Lab tech by mistake, or a glitch/corruption during creation or maintenance. It is not something you created so you cannot delete it, move it, or rename it. You can try dragging it into a different folder, or making a new notecard in it, then try to move it, and see if the system allows it, or picks up the error and fixes it, but I think you do have to file a support ticket to get the issue permanently resolved.

Hopefully Whirly Fizzle will be able to help you figure this out, but I do have a suggestion to try. Make a new SL account and try logging that in and out multiple times. Keep the basic avatar, don't add any huds or AOs or anything. Just TP around a little, logout, log back in, and see if you have the same login issues. Try it with the SL viewer. Also, don't login to your normal home position, login to a quiet region like Hatton or somewhere else. If the same thing happens with the new account, then you know it is most likely a hardware or software issue with your computer, or your ISP, and not an account issue with Second Life. If it doesn't happen with the new account, then it is very likely that it is an account/inventory issue, or something you are wearing - either your Avatar, hud, AO, or something in your inventory causing the problem. Whirly can help you discover what that might be, potentially. *fingers crossed*

Ah, I've been seeing this happen more often this last year. Plants, trees, grass, suddenly become photo boxes. Yes, it can be a corruption in your cache, but it also can be a issue with the sim not creating the object properly or saved the data wrong, and even restarting the sim they always come back corrupted like this. You of course will want other people to view the object to check if they see this corruption too. Try taking the object and rezzing it in a sandbox or in another sim with another person to see if it rezzes in the same corrupted state. Read this thread to see how this old bug can be fixed:

Make sure your Viewer and Firestorm folders including all subfolders are excluded from your security software, anti-virus, system optimizer, etc.. Also make sure the other exclusions are there for the main program files. Also double check your firewall on your computer, and if you have it enabled on your router too, that could be an issue if the hardware firewall is conflicting with the software firewall. That is a long shot, but possible. Another thing to try is check your hard drive for errors, bad sectors, and defrag it, and see if anything is good. If you've got files sitting on bad spots or your HD is really badly fragmented, you could experience this kind of issue. You said that you are having the same issue with the Second Life Viewer that you are having with the Firestorm viewer, so this suggestion is mostly concerned with your operating system potentially having previous installation data locked in and corrupted: Uninstall Firestorm, and when you reinstall it, don't use the default folder name to install into. Select a new name, new location, and see if that helps. You will of course need to change the file paths in your various security and firewall whitelists too. It is also possible that your modem/router performance is degrading. You might actually need to get new one. I know that you said that your Internet Connection is fine, but a malfunctioning or under-performing modem/router can cause all sorts of strange issues while looking like it is performing as expected. If you are using Wi-Fi to connect to SL, errr, don't. Wishing you the best of luck figuring this out!

One the most reliable is the CasperLet system from Caspertech. I've used other rentals systems in the past, but none have compared in reliability, stability, or comprehensiveness of the Caspertech product lines, so I have no hesitation recommending them. This is of course my personal opinion, but one based on a lot of years renting shops, parcel, land, and selling via vendors. Check out the Caspertech SL Marketplace store.

Ground Sit or sit on some object and he won't be able to move your AV. Then ask him to stop in local chat. If he does not, use the help button and file an abuse report on him. If he continues to try to push, shove, bump, you then you need to Teleport to another location. Ground sit is the quickest way to protect yourself. Most who harass by bumps and pushes, and even with attack objects, lose interest once they discover your AV is not moving an inch. Ask them to stop and then report them. There is a feature option in the Firestorm Viewer where users can turn off rendering anyone who is not listed as a friend. SFO (Show Friends Only). If that person has that feature enabled they might not realize that you are there at all. Asking them to stop in local chat might FYI them to that fact that there are others around. Lastly, try never to stand for long periods in public walkways, doorways, in the middle of shops, going AFK or editing your appearance. You can get pushed by others by accident, or on purpose, to move you out the public thoroughfare. Unless there is an LL employee nearby who you can ask for immediate help or assistance, you have to follow the above steps to protect yourself. Sit, ask, file abuse, and TP out as a last resort. The forums here are NOT a way to report abuse, ask for help against another player, or similar. They are also not for getting account assistance, transaction problems, or things of that nature. File abuse reports for this kind of activity. That's really your only recourse in Second Life. Read the above post by Alwin Alcott concerning posting names and profile details of other players you are in contention with.

Woot! Yes, they are showing again the map and searchable on in world map. Thank you for the updates and photos, Fitigern and Dyna. 🙂 *packs a bag and smiles*

Yes, I've seen that before too, but these are not showing up on the global map, can't find the sim name either if you search for it, and the designation guide points to empty spaces on the grid map. If they moved a sim, sure, any existing LMs would no longer work, and the destination guide would need to be updated, but we should be able to find the sim name searching the global map even if it has been moved. I will check back again and keep searching for the sim name(s). Some FYI from LL on this would be nice.

Yes, I do. Real friends I've made in SL, some I also now know outside of SL. The vast majority of my close friends in SL, however, are SL specific. We do not engage outside of SL and they do not share their RL names or info, so that is a tricky thing. When they disappear and stop logging in you really are at a loss and have no way to contact them or their family to find out if they are ok, died, or whatever. I've never thought of Second Life as a game. It is to me is and always will be a virtual society, virtual existence, and because of the nature of it not everyone you can be close in SL is willing to share their RL existences. They are here as [this name]. this personality, and that's who they are. Here. It is both a blessing and curse. Sometimes heartbreaking.

At the top of the MP page, this is a language option. Change that back to English and it will overwrite the cookie in your cache. Also you can click this link and it sets the language to US English. I run into the same problem from time to time when a creator has their link pointing to their German store language. It will stick with you until you change it back on the MP main page. If you see a link with a another language querystring in the URL, just copy the link, paste, edit out the language directive, and go with that url to get to that store English version and avoid the trouble.
