  1. I take it that this NVIDIA Control Panel is a Windows thing. On Linux we have a NVIDIA Settings application that has only a few of these for my 1080.
  2. Must be something else to do with my set up then. Thanks for the feedback. EDIT: I finally got it to work. I got a different login screen, and then it was okay. I don't know what I did though. So this won't help anyone else. It suddenly just started working.
  3. It was better when we all wrote in HTML, and made it pretty with CSS...
  4. You OWN panties? For SL? Gee! (thinks, I wonder if they are BoM, or what?...)
  5. Would be if it works.... Everything leads me back to the Account page. I think it's the new Firefox now. If I type https://community.secondlife.com/forums into the new Firefox, I just get the log-in, and logging-in gets me to Account. If I'm already logged-in, then it still goes to Account: https://secondlife.com/my/account/ Same with a bookmark. Sorry Firefox, you screwed it.
  6. Interesting topic, but 6 pages of comments already. I must give up more sleep. @Sid Nagy said: But I will not change my avatar for people who want me to be taller, shorter, needing to wear a certain body or head.. Not in a thousand years. @Anna NovaDitto. I wouldn't like the people who went there either.
  7. I have not tried this is many years, but something I read made me want to try Firefox browser again (N.B.. I'm on Linux, so I know I'm a second-class citizen). So I imported all my Brave bookmarks, and tried it. It's good - except: I can't access the SL Forums. Whatever I do, I get the SL browser login screen and then, when I put in my credentials, I get the Account summary page. Clicking 'Community' at the top gives the Community page, but clicking 'Go to FORUMS ' at the bottom-right just takes me back to the Account page. Is this intended behavior? To push people towards Chrome-based browsers or something I don't understand? And ideas before I raise a ticket?
  8. I find the same thing in RL. Usually they are labelled 'Politician' or 'Media'. They are even less use than the ones in SL, which have the virtue of being decorative.
  9. It's the California-centricity of things that sort of annoys me, @Sid Nagy. Yes, we all know they are in bed in California, but SL is a global offering. Still, all's well that ends well. Both the transactions that I was awaiting arrived, just as @Sphynx Soleil said.
  10. AND as usual the Secondlife Status Page say's absolutely nothing.
  11. My favourite, umm, thingy, is the Sensations one. I asked the creator and got a sort of non-committal 'I'm working on something else right now, maybe...' answer. So it's not my favourite 'umm thingy' any more.
  12. That one looks good, I'll get one and try it. I think the key is inspecting regularly. My infestation is usually in the attic (or 'loft' as we call it in UK) which isn't the easiest place to inspect.
  13. In my experience humane mouse traps aren't humane at all. They catch the mouse and don't kill it okay, but you find it covered in sweat and panting if great distress. It's okay if you check them really frequently I guess, but I'm not a fan.
  14. One of my favourite clothes outfits, Neve, has started making LaraX/LaraX Petite as well as Lara/Lara Petite, and also added Reborn to the bodies set. And best of all the price this Happy Weekend!
  15. I've noticed quite a few stores have dropped Petite over the transition to X. Well they lost my custom too. I don't care much, 'cos I already have enough LaraX Petite clothes to see me out. But what do I spend the UK£50 a month I budget for SL on? Sheesh...
  16. Okay, so I went back to the worst store, and tried everything in the EEP category. It's still hyper-white, and I still didn't manage to bring myself to stay long enough to buy anything.
  17. Well, so I guess I'm hyper-white. Seriously, it never crossed my mind. Racism is stupid. What the <expletive deleted> has the amount of pigment, mainly melanin, in your skin got to do with anything? I am very disappointed in those of you who thought that, and even more disappointed that you thought it of me.
  18. Following links from the LaraX threads here, I went to a few 'new for me' shops looking for LaraX Petite clothes. One in particular is what I call a 'hyper-white' location, very similar to the one used by a popular mesh body seller. I really can't stand them, because my eyesight isn't so great, and I just thought I might see if I was alone in this (in which case, no issues), or others have the same difficulties - and hence, shop-keepers, you are loosing business. I ought to add that I find 'hyper-gloomy' locations almost as bad.
  19. I am pretty sure Buddha didn't have those proportions. Al least none of his statues do. Designers please note the Adult Female in these drawing has realistic breasts and waist. (I wanted an emoji with the tongue sticking straight out, but there is no realism in emojiland)
  20. A lot of it, both with bodies and heads is all about confidence that you can make what you want with it. I got a free LOGO head the other day, it's fine - I mean really good - I just can't make it look the way I want it to, and the instructions are rubbish - there isn't a go-to place (that I have found) where I can learn how to configure it. With Lelutka and Maitreya, on the other hand, there are no end of resources to show you how to get the look you want, but I already know, from years of trying. LaraX Petite, for instance is just like Lara Petite, which is just like Lara, and I have been doing that for years. Lelutka Noel feels the same as Nova(still my go-to head). It's hard to shift people to a new line.
  21. Cash Sink. (you can never have enough Lindens) America Won. (if you can't speak American Capitalism, don't come)
  22. Price has a huge impact on new body take-up, I think. These are not goods that require the input of raw materials (the marginal production cost is almost zero), as it is true for most things in RL, and the 'price set' has to indicate 'value' to the buyer. I had no problem shelling out L$500 for a Lucybody, as a test run, but buying a new L$5000 body and just hoping it generates a clothing market is a big stretch for many people's SL budget. I know what I am getting with Maitreya, and so do the clothing designers, so it's a safe bet. Anyone else's body it is a risk, unless they do what Legacy did, and buy the designers in - I don't doubt that it has paid back, but it was a brave approach.
