This issue happened to me also, it appears. When I signed in for the first time in this new version of the forum - and I don't think I had typed Resident - a new account was created. I was confused because I thought I had had an account (but hadn't used it for quite awhile). I just did the member search that you had displayed above, and now see my old moirakathleen account (without the Resident part of the name), which was created in June of 2014.

I also suggest submitting a ticket so the matter can be looked into.
I was just curious about your real name being with your billing info? I just looked at mine, because I didn't remember providing my real name when I signed up, and all I see on my billing info is a partial display of the email I use for PayPal - but no real name. Is this different when you use a credit card instead of paypal or skrill?

If it had to do with forum age and delaying spam, why would they allow posting in some forums but not others? That's what I find strange...

It's there for me too, and I just registered this morning. Sarah, did you try going through the "Create" button at the very top of the screen, right hand side? When you click it, click 'Topic' (the only choice) and then it displays a drop-down with all the forum sections/sub-sections.

I always have difficulty being someone I'm not. Moira is very definitely me, though I think of her as having a more idealized life inworld than I actually have. My other two don't have a backstory per se, and nothing in their profile or picks to indicate one, though in my mind I think of them differently, with different stories than Moira. However, both at their core, are aspects of me, based on RL experiences (or 'might haves' if situations had taken different paths). So when I login with either of other two, it's mainly a reflection of the mindset I'm interested in putting myself into at that time. It's not really anything made apparent in interactions inworld (expect for the 2nd of the two, who is a 4-year old, which is pretty obvious!). The 4 year old talks very well - none of the 'baby' talk seen with some younger child avatars - but I do try to capture the innocence and wide-eyed wonder with the world that young children have.

Except for one or two really fancy evening dresses, most of what I wear had been fairly low in ACI - generally I'm between 40-60,000 (I'm not a high fashionista, lots of jewelry and makeup type). I did have one hair which was 200,000+, but I've since found other hair I like much better which is much lower in numbers as well. I keep the preference setting around 160,000 now that I have a better computer than I used to.
The only thing that really bothered me was getting messages that others might not be able to see me (at my low 40-60,000 setting, even) but I just found out how to disable those messages yesterday. It's fine with me if others have their setting very low and can't see me other than as a jelly doll- I just don't need to see the messages about it.

... reminded me of a very old screen saver with flying toasters, that my dad had on his computer, when I was a small child.
hehe ... I remember the flying toasters screen saver... wish I could say that was when I was a small child...
I saw an avi a week or so ago, that was just black glasses, big nose and mustache (like the plastic ones you could get from a costume or gag store - I want to call it groucho marx glasses, but I don't know if that is correct...)

Ok... when you edit a system shape, there are a load of sliders, right, that change it's appearance. From a 'system avi' point of view, basically all sliders are the same type.
Once you get into mesh this changes.
Sliders come in 3 flavours...
1. Skeletal sliders, these affect the length of various bones in the "skeletal rig", arm length, leg length, height, hip width, etc. These work with RIGGED mesh.
2. Morph sliders (collision rigged), morph sliders change things about a system avi that are not skeletal, like body fat, boob size etc. Some of these sliders affect your avatar's "collision rig", a series of , well, balloons attached to your skeleton , like inflatable hitboxes. These work with FITTED mesh.
3. Morph sliders (not rigged), morphs that are not connected to any of the rigs, they change the surface of a system avi and that's all, stuff like lip shape, mouth width, eye shape etc. These don't work with mesh at all. Project Bento converted 1 type 3 head slider into a type 2, head size, hopefully Bento-2 will convert more.
The older RIGGED mesh clothing, only conforms to Type 1 SKELETAL sliders, such clothing tends to come in 'standard sizes' these days, so you find a size of pants that fit your waist, and the alpha layer hides all of your legs, regardless of them fitting or not. Such items assume you are wearing on a system avi and come with an alpha layer.
The newer FITTED mesh, responds to type 1 Skeletal sliders AND to type 2 Collision sliders, so Fitted mesh pants will adjust to your leg thickness, butt size, saddlebags etc, Fitted mesh worn on a system avi should fit better than rigged mesh, if made properly, it will more accurately follow the invisible alpha masked legs naked shape, and often comes in 1 size fits all. Again these assume you are wearing a system avi and come with an alpha layer.
Mesh Body specific Fitted Mesh, is the same as regular fitted mesh except its base shape is that of the mesh body it's made for. It's becoming more and more common for garments made for specific mesh bodies to automatically send "alpha cut instructions" to the body when worn, just like the ones from the body's alpha hud, so you don't need to mess about hiding and unhiding parts of your mesh body, the clothing will do this by its self. These assume you are wearing a mesh body with alpha cut features, and do NOT typically come with an alpha layer.
I found this very informative and helpful. I had a vague understanding, but this really clarified things for me, especially about fitted mesh in general, and then the mesh body specific fitted mesh. I didn't realize that some of the mesh body specific garments are not typically coming with an alpha layer, because they are automatically sending the alpha cut instructions to the body.

Very cool! (and much better than going into the areas I don't want to read and clicking them 'marked as read' before bringing up the main 'unread' listing).
