For what it's worth I had this problem today. Using Firestorm... Always Run was off Firestorm built in AO not in use I removed my AO HUD and that didn't fix it. Relogging did not fix it 'Stop Avatar Animations' did not fix it What did fix it was, with my AO removed, going to: Avatar > Avatar Health > Stop Avatar Animations & Revoke Permissions Then I stopped running. I noticed then that if I attached my AO hud again I was running again! So I then chose 'Reset' in the AO HUD. I am guessing that the AO got mixed up and some running override was on even without the AO being attached any more.

Must be a feature then!

I have the same problem, avatar picker just blank. No big deal as I rarely use it, but seems like a bug.

I understand that, I'm not talking about IW messages at all. That is totally separate. Nor am I talking about the community messages system. I just wanted to know how the my.secondlife.com messages system works. It looks as though it was half implemented, never finished.

Yes it definitely does not show IW messages. Nor does it show messages from the community pages messages system. It seems to be separate again. An inbox but no apparent way of sending a message to somebody else!

On the my.secondlife.com website why does it have a 'messages' tab when you can't (as far as i know) send messages to people?

SOLD - Thank you

To clear up any doubt - I considered the question well and truly answered, thanks Ethan. (Incidentally I ended up buying a different parcel in the auction, got a great deal!)

Region: Moorsby Area: 1024sqm - 351 prims  Type: Moderate Asking price: $8,000 L Location: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Moorsby/103/71/67

Yes I think they are that probably. Different texture now i look carefully.

Yes it is!

Thanks for the info. The ground (seabed) is at 0 metres and the sea level is 20 metres. I can see in the region details confirm a terrain raise and lower limit of +/- 4m. So with a terraforming limit of 4 metres I guess this means I can't build the seabed up and would only be allowed to make a "floating" platform. But oddly some of the surrounding parcels do have blocks of land coming up from the seabed and above the water. (the location is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ten Pages/228/175/24 )

@Ethan Paslong Oh OK that's interesting, thank you. I wasn't sure whether there were Linden-controlled restrictions on what places could be land vs sea, to control the coastline so to speak. There are a few platforms around the parcel that is for sale so I could do that too. As a side point: So there are limits on terraforming then (or can be in some places)? I assume that must mean a maximum and minimum land height for any given parcel. Thanks

Maybe the answer "yes" is a given, but I want to be sure. I have found a parcel for sale in an area I like but when I TP to it there is no land there! Just sea. If I buy this land will I be able to use the build tool to build the sea bed up till it is above sea level? (i.e. so I have some land!) Thanks

People.

Now it has been restarted, I have noticed it has good and bad days and times. And also I have learned from the Linden support that it is restarted every week anyway, so the restart I mentioned above was nothing special. I feel the problem is unsolved. I suggested in the support ticket that my best option might be to move elsewhere. Although they did not respond directly to my suggestion, they also did not disagree in their reply.

Hi all My support ticket got updated: "The region was in great need of a restart. I have just done that and you should see overall improved performance. Please let me know if you continue to have issues." Let's hope so. But in any event I have learned a lot here so thanks to everyone for being super nice and helpful. X

Thank you. I will look at that viewer statistics help page. I filed a support ticket yesterday so hopefully I will hear back soon.

I am not making any assumptions, I only said "maybe" it is abandoned Naturally it is up to Linden Lab to determine that. From one of the answers above it sounds as though there is a loophole where "group-deeded land often remains unreclaimed for months". Yes there are LOTS of skyboxes going up to 4000 metres. Some big public group use places it seems. The stats screenshot goes a little over my head as totally new to this. But from the sounds of it something unusual is going on? Thanks for your other suggestions - and yes a support ticket is being placed tonight - just been busy with RL stuff. Thank you!

Oh wow - yes I did see you hovering not far from my parcel not so long ago. Thanks so much for taking a look around. For me the 'walking through treacle' thing is intermittent. I have the problem on three different computers (one very new and fast) so I don't think it is client lag but always possible. I will avoid that 'Love Bug' toy. And also try removing some HUDs to see if it makes any difference. And yes – lots of the land in Moorsby is empty so it is surprising that it's laggy. But... I rezzed a simple platform, sat on it, and took it gradually up to 4000 metres - to see if i could find some clear airspace for a skybox (hoping for less lag). And found it was quite busy with floating structures all the way up. Some very large. I suppose outside a certain range they should hopefully not affect me on the ground.

Thank you to everyone for the helpful (as ever) replies above - so lovely! Also thanks to the person who contacted me by IM and gave me lots of really detailed advice about contacting support and so on. It sounds like I can get to the bottom of this and - of course - always move if it comes to that. Perhaps I don't really need to be in an adult area at all - maybe moderate areas are less likely to be filled with objects that generally cause lag (just an educated guess). And my parcel is only for private use anyway. I will read up more on this. It's my first land parcel which I basically took because a friend gave it me for free.

Aha ok - so smaller than I thought – in terms of land area at least. Though having explored further *up* today I see the sky is quite busy all the way up to 4000 metres. Thank you - that is good to know. Interesting... So it is possible for 'stale' parcels to linger then. Good to learn, thank you!

No I believe the Sim is called Moorsby (unless I am confused about what a sim is) and as far as I know it's a very area so must have lots of tenants. I wasn't sure if things far away from me (but still in the SIM) could affect my lag.

Thank you!

Newbie question - related (sort of) - if you own land do you own all of the sky above it? Or could someone else put a skybox above my parcel?
