shoes don't count as clothes, they are essentials like hair, that's the only part of my inventory that is organised

I stay nakie and avoid sims that aren't clothing optional, life's too short to waste trying to sort out the mess in my inventory

But the reason you are stuck in traffic is everyones home is being reset

Frequently at most popular events/sales. Takes about 5 secs of looking at the swirling mass of body parts and clothing to realise I'm standing on someones head, by which time someone is standing on mine. When I do break out then it's a tedious wait for the surroundings to rezz, by the time I get near whatever attracted me in the first place I'm loosing interest. Much less stress to wait a while and not go through the rugby scrum.

Congratulations, you've just annoyed half the none merchant/creators in SL. The other half are contemplating becoming merchants selling distorted prims as art to get the extra tier and perks.

I've learned not to react to what linden labs say they are going to do until they actually do it. Some time ago I wondered what name I should use to repace "resident" , still haven't thought of one but there doesn't seem to be any need for the foreseeable future

They came in last month, butyou are quite right, it has nothing to do with the cost of premium.

No cos they dropped the stupid Idea before the implementation date, if they hadn't I would have clicked the basic button the day it came into force. I like having the extra groups but I won't take them if it means basics lose some of theirs.

I've always considered that one of the most useless perks, I'd rather wait for the region to quiet down rather than wait 20 mins for a demo to rez due to 100 overscripted avis lagging the place to a standstill.

Yes that's about it. Always worth saving naked version of your body in outfits, some clothing comes with alphas attached and they don't always disconnect when you remove the clothing. Much easier to wear the naked body than open the hud and click on all the missing parts.

That could be used as a positive marketing campaign

Aggressive marketing doesn't work, it just annoys those who can't afford or don't want what's being sold and sometimes those who have already bought the product. I'm premium cos the stipend and the linden home almost pay for cost. I don't consider myself superior to basics and I'm sure they don't either. While it's a choice and the perks make it worthwhile I'll probably continue, the moment it looks like it's penalising basics or making them second class citizens in SL I'll drop it.

There is a group called friends of altamura that will keep you informed of where to get clothes , they have a sign in the main altamura shop

BOM is still under developement, which means it could be released tomorrow or we could still be talking about it in a year. From what I've read it's something that allows you to use old system clothing on the new mesh bodys. I suspect this will result in a mass clearance of inventories when we see what those old outfits look like again. There are a few threads spread throught the forums, but I wouldn't worry about it before release. When it is released you will know cos it will probably be the subject of every other thread in the forums :)

So do topics started in 2013, I suspect they are unavailable too.

VALLANI do mesh hairs with animations, doesn't move as much as the flexi hairs but you don't have to worry about it going through your body.

What everyone else has said is true but sometimes you can just get lucky. After a couple of years trying to find a skin that hides the line in more than just "neutral" windlights , I found an Egozy skin and a freebie system skin that blend well. With the aid of the maitreya neck fix the line is unoticeable in most windlights, though coloured club lights can mess it up horribly. Keep experimenting, some solutions are accidental.

No longer available

Any price rise at any time is going to be unpopular, but at least there is the option of defering it for a while by renewing early. OK not everyone can afford to splash out a years subscription at short notice, but LL are a business and have to look at the bottom line. As customers we just have to decide if we think it's worth it to us.

First thing, if you want to get back to your original look check your apperance and select outfits, anything you saved should have the original lara/classic head combination, use the lara presets to get the colour you had and remove the clothing and hair and save it as a template in case anything goes wrong. Next make a copy and apply the cleo head. Add the [AK Deluxe] HUD cleo head, in the basic tab you can change the head colour without affecting the lara body. If you find a good match then save that in outfits as cleo or something to differentiate from your original. you will need to use the neck fix in the lara hud. If you can't find a perfect match then unpack the Skin body appliers and look for something close to what you want, this will apply the colour to the lara body. You will still need to use the head hud to match the head colour. when you're happy with a look then save it with a new name. If you switch between classic and cleo heads remember to apply the appropriate skin colour . You're not the first to get confused with the new head, I did exactly the same as you but 24 hours earlier :)

My earliest memories are big grey blobs that seemed to take forever to rezz, movement keys that didn't respond until everything had rezzed and walking into walls/rivers. Afrer an hour I gave up and read rhe system requirements. I was lucky to get the blobs, SL isn't designed for users of low end machines with integrated graphics and ram measured in mb

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but if you want to remove gloves put on with an applier, then open the maitreya hud, click on layers , then click gloves on/off

Going premium is no guarantee of getting a houseboat or one of the new design homes. They seem to be limited in number and get snapped up within hours of release. There are good reasons for going premium, but if a houseboat is your main one then be prepared to constantly monitor the forums for announcements of the next release and (if you're in the wrong timezone), stay up until the early hours for a chance of getting one.

If you want to keep your existing face you could just forget the new head. After spending hours farting around with demos that make my face look like everyone elses, I decided it's not worth the effort for a few facial expressions. I'm still using the freebie modifiable shape I got 4 years ago with Maitreya and use emoter huds if I need an expression for photos. May not be as sophisticated, but it does save the embarrasment of wandering around with no head followed by a disembodied brain, waiting for it to rezz for 5 mins when visiting busy sims.

Sometimes creators include a texture to show what the makeup/tat looks like, this cannot be applied. the actual thing you need to apply looks like a pink squiggly thing for system bodies/heads, for non system bodies it looks like a cube with the name of the bodies it will work on. If it doesn't have a cube icon with slink then you can't use it
