    I have no idea what a vanity thread is and what they do. According to the pictures, people are showing their outfits.

    The Vanity Thread was the first, and seems a bit more formal, with many people listing the items in the outfit along with the picture, but there are th elazy ones like me that tend not to do that.

    The How does you avatar look today thread, is essentially the same thing, but maybe a bit less formal.

    The What are you doing thread, is one more place to post a picture of yourself, the emphasis here though being on what you are doing rather then what you look like, but a picture of what you are doing will obviously show what you look like.

    Oh, now I understand. It means more complex and realistic animations. But doesn't it add to your avatar complexity? If not, then how?

    the complexity that is measured and displayed on the screen and has an impact on who can see you, has to do with how difficult it is for the computer to display the avatar, this is not directly related to how complex the avatar actually is. Since Bento "bones" are not visible I would assume they add nothing to work a computer has to do to make an avatar visible. I don't really understand how any of it works, but I do know that there are newer better ways of creating things that make the computers job easier, which allow a more complex appearance without increasing complexity. I have a ring, which was made a long time ago, that all by itself increases complexity by 400000. Now why a little ring that I wear on my finger is over twice as complex most of my entire outfits, I cannot tell you. The same thing is true for land impact for furniture items and such. You can find visually very complex items with a very low land impact, and visually very simple ones with a high impact.
