I have used Both viewers from 2018 to 2022, and for these past few years and noticed how when i viewed someone's profile its very different. like if im using firestorm viewer to look at person x's profile while using SL official viewer to look at person x's profile. so many profiles i have found to be disjointed. like unmatched profile pictures. unmatched information. unmatched RL pictures. thats because certain people only uploaded pictures and information through thirdparty firestorm and not through the official SL account. i believe its because Firestorm is able to retrieve information from official SL account, but not the other way around. official SL account doesnt bother searching third party viewer's local information and pictures. But only this year 2022, now with all the viewer updates happening, they are starting to sync up. disabling the firestorm profile picture upload button was the best thing. having one location to upload stuff is the best way .

Actually if u ever uploaded pictures through My secondlife or the official secondlife viewer, then you would have never had the problem. the firestorm will be syncned up that way. *However* , if you neever logged into official SL viewer or used the Mysecond life website, and you ONLY uploaded directly to firestorm viewer all these past years, they never synced up. But only this year 2022 , finally,, with the removal of direct upload button on firestorm viewer, people's profile pictures will eventually sync up now

i think there should just be one single place to upload pictures and edit profiles, and it should be on the main secondlife website. right? not on the different viewers. Because having it on one place then there is no differences and sync issues. i remember for the longest time and years, firestorm even had their own photo uploading situation. firestorm's profile pic were also mismatched with official secondlife viewer profile pic. i think this year 2022 is the firsttime that firestorm is finally using the picture from official secondlife viewer

anyone try changing their profile pictures in the official secondlife viewer today, and then check back on the (my secondlife website), the profile picture still does not sync. (my secondlife website still retains the old picture) Also, doesnt the Forum uses the picture from (my secondlife website), so that means the forum's picture would still be oudated? why is it disjoined and not synced?

hi i have issues with any clothes where there is an autohide script inside. i wear a maitreya body. if an clothing item has included autohide maitreya body script, is there a way to "disable " that clothing script? No, Because the clothing is "not modify", then i cannot delete that script inside the clothing. Im asking because there is always problems when i am loading from several Saved outfits , the auto-hide script sometimes stops working. OR especially if i log off the SL game wearing that clothing item ,then next time i sign on and my body loads up , my body parts are showing. the atuo-hide clothing script stopped work. So each time, i would have to detach the clothing item then wear it for it to hide the body parts again. and it becomes annoying. I just want the auto-hide scripts to be deleted from all my clothing. my question =is this a secondlife platform problem? =is this a maitreya body problem?. Should maitreya update their body so that those clothing's autohide scripts doesnt work? or maitreya at least give us an HUD option to block the clothing 's autohide scripts? =or this this not fixable problem??? =or does the clothing store owner have to delete manually something? Also want to mention how sometimes i might even want to show a body part and i hate that the a clothing item just hides it automatically making it invisible. Auto-hide scripts in clothing is just very annoying. Thanks for the help

Sometimes im too busy to unpack an item is it safe to leave it in the unpacked-form for a very very long time? or do i really need to unpack it as soon as possible because it "expires" one day?

I dont know but recently i started getting this notice sometimes when i start up the official SL viewer i get this warning: I think it also shows up when im viewing people's profile it has kinda the same warning. It never happened before

Hi i was wondering why there is so much difference between people's height scale? (i dont know mean someone who wants to be short or tall, thats a personal choice) Some inworld people were discussing how its because the SL height's measurement dont match up with RL height. Like SL's numbering is off. example, most humans are in the 5 feet range in RL. so that is real life "default" height. But In SL, you create a new shape or use one of those default beginner avatars, noticed how the shape is in 6 feet range. So that means SL intended 6 feet range to be the default height. and visually every building and items scaled to that range. in essense Secondlife 6.4 = Real Life 5.4 Secondlife 6.9 = Real Life 5.9 Secondlife 6.1 = Real Life 5.1 the problem is: A person new to SL or not knowing this information. thinking they will create a SL avatar based on real life height ends up making themselves look way SHORTER. Like i am 5.4 in real life, so i am a newbie and in game, i make my SL Avatar 5.4 (not knowing this would translates VISUALLY to RL 4.4 in game) SO Thats why it creates so many scaling differences, because everyone using different scales. Im wondering can Secondlife system.. can it just easily renumber their whole height scale? Make default shape SL height in 5feet range by just editing their number system (renumber). that would be easy to implement right? Secondlife 5.4 = Real Life 5.4 Secondlife 5.9 = Real Life 5.9 Secondlife 5.1 = Real Life 5.1

I am having the same problem I log into secondlife website and under my account, change email settings the option to "change email subscription settings: subscribed, unsubscribed" it wont let me do anything there is the word "this field cannot currently be modified. Please try again later" i think its been months like this

hi i have a problem with the official second life viewer in that when i click accept an object, it doesnt accept this usually happens if i am offline for example, there was an Update to an item and i was sent it during my offline, when i log back in and click "accept", it always fails to accept. nowhere in my inventory. This also happens like if i entered those midnight giveaways where it reaches the number of players, and i win and then item is sent to me while im offline, when i come back on, it always fails to accept. But This doesnt happen when i am on another 3rd party viewer. Is something wrong with my settings on official secondlife viewer?

Actually no, you actually didn't need to read their profile. Basically you've decided to be nosy using your own time to check on a person's profile, then you blame that person and complain about their profile not fitting up to your standards? I mean, OK if in their profile's content, they said something offensive, it make sense to be upset over it. But we're talking about how a person display their profile, right? My post was basically about agreeing with Arduenn's post because I didn't understand how the very first poster of the thread complaining about empty profiles like as if we're all supposed to put something in the profile just to entertain her so she wont get bored? Or as if we are supposed to worry about having enough money and shopping time to make our avatars looking sophisticated enough for her to deem us worthy, so that she wont judge us for it? Not everyone on SL is trying to advertise themselves or into the fashion or whatnot. Let me explain why i agreed with Ardueen's post. Since Im still new to SL , today when I first clicked this thread, i was actually thinking "Oh cool maybe i can learn something about SL so I wont accidentally offend someone" such as things like "Don't Friend request someone until you talked with them first". I wanted good advice to improve on my SL. But i was just surprised by the first post of the thread and didn't have enough time to read more than page 1, and I agreed with Arduenn's post which is also on page 1. And hey, there's no need to be your passive-aggression displayed in your last paragraph. Who is this "monthly edge poster" that you are referring to? Me or Arduenn? Why are you trying to label someone as something? Why are you resorting to name-calling? Absolutely nothing I've said in my previous post was edgy. And what do you mean by "monthly"? Do you mean someone who post once a month? Are you trying to imply someone who has not posted enough on this forum to be worthy to give an opinion? Are you trying to restrict what people post on the forum because it doesn't fit your forum posting standards or have strong forum credentials? If you are accusing me of being "monthly edge poster" please give examples and explanation and proof? I find this ironic because, aren't you actually the "edge poster", who actually brought in the the dictionary definitions into the conversation, trying to sound smart with your "galaxy sized brain" to have an argument over a word-choice? You are trying to "restrict" me. If you are so triggered by incorrect word choice of "pet peeve", please let me rephrase my sentence from: "If it was a rant about about someone doing something harmful, rude, annoying, trolling, that affects another person, then it should be a pet peeve." to "If it was a rant about about someone doing something harmful, rude, annoying, trolling, that affects another person, then it should be something worth getting upset over" Next thing I know, you will find my incorrect usage of "ironic"? By all means, feel free to post your pet peeves. I wasnt trying to stop anyone from having pet peeves. I was trying to understand and have a discussion on how certain pet peeves is worth or not worth getting upset over and how does it really affect you. Reread my other post if you need to. My post had ended with a question for open discussion. Im just here hoping my empty profile and unsophisticated avatar doesn't offend anyone because im keeping it that way lol

Yes i agree with you. I didnt understand the purpose of the original poster's list at all. lol If it was a rant about about someone doing something harmful, rude, annoying, trolling, that affects another person, then it should be a pet peeve. But if just about how someone's own avatar on how they like to display or dress up their avatar, name and label themselves, why would u be against that? How does it actually affect you in any way?

Hi can we please talk about LOD (Level of Details). Im focusing mainly on the clothes and attachments that you wear on your body, not external items like furniture/houses/environment items. I hope im getting this correct. There's two type. TYPE 1: The inherent LOD in the item itself. (this LOD is controlled by creator of the item) TYPE 2: the LOD settings option in your viewer, which default is set at 2.0, and 4.0 being highest. (this LOD is controlled by your viewer's preferences) If the item has bad inherent LOD, when you zoom out even just for a *little* bit of distance, the item disappears! And thats not very good, right? I tend to associate low quality items having bad inherent LOD because I noticed most free gifts tend to have bad inherent LOD, and a lot of gachas (cheap prices) tend to have bad inehrent LOD. when I first wasnt aware of LOD's, and I have bought store items that costed a lot of lindens and ended up having bad inherent LOD, I mentioned this to some creators of the item disappearing, they would recommend me to change my own viewer's LOD setting options to the highest setting of 4.0 (in order for the item to be visible from a long distance). But this is NOT a good recommendation because it actually lags/stress out your computer, right? This recommendation forces your computer screen to make all these surrounding far distanced items be visible, which isnt necessary. so thats why it lags. SO I end up disappointed, detaching the item and not using it, and feel like I wasted my money on the item. I still keep my LOD settings option at the default 2.0. Because this default 2.0 is already a good setting. And a lot of people have this setting by default. Why should the consumers have to change their own viewers LOD settings options to compensate for the bad inherent LOD in the item? One of my fear is many creators/designers have their own viewers's LOD settings options set at 4.0, so when they create an item to sell, they forget that many people wont be able to see the item like how they see it . So the creators end up making the inherent LOD of the item very low (bad quality) because they wrongly THINK people will be able to see the item just fine. So I am wondering why creators try to make as low inherent LOD as possible? After some searching around, I found some person explaining how creators think a low inherent LOD (disadvantage) would also have Low Impact (benefit). But he also explained how that there are actual ways to create an item with Higher inherent LOD(benefit) and have low land impact (benefit) which would be a win-win situation. The person said not many creators know about these GOOD techniques. Im not sure what the techniques are though??? Or perhaps there are other reasons why creators are creating these inherent low LOD items? easier to make such as for gachas? But anyways now im extremely picky about items I buy because Im scared of bad inherent LOD's.

a lot of people use the word "japanese" when they really just mean "Asian" . Asian includes Japanese and other asian cultures like Chinese, Korean, etc. There are plenty of popular korean designers and stores in SL that make popular skins and clothes that people confuse as "japanese" but its not.

ok so if u reach the offline IM limit, u wont recieve any extra IMs when u log back in .....but would u have still receive emails about those unstored extra IMs?
