    Issue is that support sees that my house is abandonned... But in (even a cache free browser) it is still on my premium page... 

    When this happened to me, they restarted the region that I abandoned the home from and it took care of the sticky home on the land page.  They did this right away from live chat.

    I've found it more annoying to get a house, and find the previous owner is still in there! If you abandon, then leave straight away please. I'd rather have their profile pic in the land info which is really easy to delete, than the person themselves. I've had to resort to the LH security option a couple of times.

    I don't have the heart to AR for something minor but I have no problem ejecting the stragglers right out of there. I was barked at once for that as the person said they were AFK and I should have asked them to leave (how if you were AFK?), so I said to please leave before going AFK then.  Skedaddle! 

    It's fun to hear everyone's peeves. 😁

    That was probably me.  I do this when I am contemplating whether or not I want to keep the parcel.  I like to walk around my property first then walk around the house and look out the windows to see what the view is.  Closed windows ruin it so that is why I open them, same with doors.  I don't want to have to continually open and close them.  Sorry!  I am just an odd bird, I know 🤣.

    Oh how funny, because I was picturing that this is what was happening, as if you were doing a home walk-through and were checking out the views and to make sure everything is in working order. 😁

    I barely look at the pics for LH's, let alone change them. This alt's parcel has a question mark on a blue background in it, in fact most of the parcels around here seem to.  Is that what it gets set to as a default when abandoned?

    The pic in protected land is the familiar LH couple in front of their house, which Derrick uploaded.  If  @Derrick Linden  made that one available somewhere, I'd be happy to put it in that field.  I don't see any way to just delete the pic; don't you have to replace it with SOMETHING, even if just a blank?

    I just set it back to the default question mark. I would also put Derrick's photo there if it were available.

    I've had some great abandons, including a log one I'm working on now. And when I have to parse down, I will release some great abandons too.

    But it does irk me when I get an abandon and the last owner's pictures/logo is in the parcel profile. There are one or two that come up LOTS, so you know the parcels were not considered as homes. (I'm only looking at logs.)

    Why? To show you've been there, done that?

    Totally irks me too, I take great satisfation deleting the pics before I put them back!

    Irked here, too.  It reminds me of when people have to say "First," in the comments section on YouTube.  Also, when there is a new release, I've noticed a couple times that the person before me opens all the doors and windows before leaving, and there was no way they were there long enough to have moved in.  Oh, the funny things....

    does anyone know what to do if there is still the red hovertext stuff still on your land 

    Return the border that you see around the parcel to it's owner (I forget which Mole) and then the red text will disappear.

    P.S. Sorry, Sylvia. I guess I was responding at the same time as you.

    I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to have docks jutting out in to the water. That was an issue when the trads were the only thing around, and they were AR'd quite often then.

    Yes, not allowed.  I take full responsibility. I am just not one to AR others for that.  I don't have the heart to. 🤷‍♀️

    Wow, I hope it wasn't the little dock next door to me! I thought it looked nice! *runs to look*

    LOL, yep that was it.  It was returned but I took it back out to try the picture again with it as close to the border as possible and RL grabbed me again.  I think I give up on that picture now. Ha.

    Same. I decided last night that this current situation with catching every night the same houses over and over while new releases are going on for everyone else is just too annoying. I have plenty of other things to do with my time that are a lot more fun. 

    I am burned out with this myself and took a couple day break until someone AR'd me and I got a warning email that made me log in quickly. I encroached a dock off my parcel onto Linden water so I could take a picture of myself on it and then got called away to RL and totally forgot about it. My first AR ever in 13 years.  Before this happened, while boating around the various homes, I've seen many docks encroaching but it would never occur to me to AR them. Am I bad Bellisserian citizen for not reporting these?

    And it just goes to show you, we all want different things. The house next to mine, which is also on the lake, has been abandoned and is now back in Maintenance!

    I wonder if that's the one I just got.  Someone left behind their "footprint" snapshot on the land info, so obviously an abandon.  I was thinking Comfy was a previous release. I have just the corner of the lake by me, but makes for a cute swimming hole.

    Say, the land page is telling me I can't get a log home because I have done 5 and to wait 24 hours etc, but I haven't!! I haven't gotten 5 today.. what do I do?

    I tried logging out and back in, but same message. I know the house will be around for a few days  if they go like the Vics did, but sheesh. The land page is WRONG! 

    Each one drops off every 24 hours, so if you abandoned any yesterday, say 3, and then 2 today, the three from yesterday will not become available again until 24 hours after they occurred.  You may get 3 more tries later on today.  You can either make landmarks to keep track of your abandons and then check the properties of the LM for the date and time or you can check your TP history for the date and time.

    Getting ready to drop a cool Trad, which I've nicked named "the mile high house", as it sets on a REALLY high hill. For anyone who wants LOTS of privacy, this is the perfect setting or perhaps, if you want to feel like the queen of your castle, it's great. The backyard has a cute rock garden setting, with flowers and butterfly's; also, the back yard is nestled in the side of a huge hill, for lots more privacy. I hope the person who gets it, will fall in love. Releasing it at 10:30 p.m. SLT. Mauh !

    This was mine on an alt for six months and it was extremely hard to give up tonight, but I needed to free up the alt for a log home.  I am sorry that I was too lazy to post a photo and a notice here before abandoning.  I also wanted to post it in the stairs thread as it has an amazing stairway up the front, but once again, too lazy. *Rolling my eyes at myself.*

    For future reference, when you see the floating text, derender the red box that goes with that parcel, and the text disappears.

    If I am remembering correctly, you can also return the border around the plot to the Mole who owns it and the red text will also disappear.
