Well I am looking at the Victorian homes now, of which there are several, but you cannot see pictures of the inside or tell which one you are choosing. They are 1024's, with a 315 prim limit, which is much better and I might go with the single story one if I can be sure that's what I'm getting. It should be if it's the one in the window when I name it, shouldn't it?

Well thank you Solar, I shall keep looking and see what becomes available, I'm in no real rush about it, I'd just like to have my digs back. I put a lot of time and money into that house. I'd really like a 1024 plot if I can get it. Definitely do not want a skybox, or anything in a vehicular enthusiast region. A nice quiet country place would be ideal.

So I came back to SL after a long absence due to the exigencies of life, and had to get my premium account back, but now I've lost that Linden home and those on offer I'm not so keen on because of the low prim limit, 175 prims isn't much, and I have a lot of furnishings. Is there a way you can up the prim limit on those Linden homes? I'd like to get a home in Belaseria (?) but I'm sure there are none available, so I'm left with the Linden homes on offer, unless anyone knows of other options. Suggestions?

So, in addition to muting them I have to block them as well? Why does not muting them just shut them up? It would seem blocking them is the only thing that works, so why is there muting at all?

I've been getting IM's from those I have muted. Why might that be? Shouldn't they be unable to send me IM's? Just now I muted a guy I saw eyeing me, and just after that he IM'd me. I thought he would not be able to do that. I've also muted people saying offensive things, and they just kept on sending me IM's. What's the skinny on muting?

Over the last two days my Linden home has been taking forever to rez, and never rezzes completely. I cannot use it like this, cannot even try on clothes I bought because they won't rez there either, and I've tried the support portal, but it only has categories that don't fit the issue, and there seems no one I can turn to about this. I'm not sure if it's a sim issue or an issue with my account. I'm a premium member and should not be having this problem. Can anyone advise me as to how to get help with this? Everything worked fine until two days ago, and now it takes over 40 minutes for the house to rez at all. Thank you, Ann

I have this red arrow in my house now, after having re-added my Maitreya HUD, which was by no means easy, and it's sort of pointing off in a direction, and I don't know why or what it means. How did I get a red arrow in my house? How do I get rid of it?

I did a search on chat places in SL by traffic, and the top three I came up with were Fogbound, Sexy Nude Beach, and London City.

I went to Frank's Elite Jazz Club, and paid to join the group, but did not find it to my liking at all. It was not a place you could meet and mix, but for the most part seemed only for partnered couples with a few others just standing around not doing much of anything. I visited a few times, but it was always the same, so I left the group and did not go back. Now if this New Frank's is something different, and has anything like the action of the old Frank's, I'm interested.

Very well Heathcliff, I'm on a Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.12.6 processor is 2.5 Ghz Intel iCore i5, 16 gb 1600 Mhz DDR3, graphics is Intel HD 4000 1536 mb. I do not use WiFi, just CAT5 ethernet. Internet connection is Xfinity 100 mbps. You are right, the builder is a really good guy, and he tried to help me with the boat, but there was just no end of weird things happening that even he could not account for. I credit him with excellent customer support above and beyond what I've seen from any other builder in SL. I'm pretty sure he did not see the same things happening that I did, and of course I have to go with what's on my screen. It's just one of those weird SL things I'm tried of trying to deal with.

Well I just tried to sail it again, and it went quite badly. This time I turned off my AO and detached the Maitreya hud as well, boarded, started sailing, I got out into the Blake Sea a short ways, then raised the sails, and suddenly the boat started raising up into the air and I had no control of it at all. I clicked STAND, and my avi vanished from the boat, then the boat vanished, and when I TP'd home I was hanging far up in the sky with no way to do anything. I think I'm going to give up on this sailing bit. BTW, the boat is a BBX SLB A2. I know it works great for everyone else but me. I guess the boat just doesn't like me. I'm done with this, I've tried everything and it goes sideways every time. I'm not doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

Well I just tried turning off my AO to sail, and it didn't work, I still ended up sitting in the air, and I could not steer the boat at all. Also tried adjusting hover height, which appeared to work, but I still got jerked into sitting in the air and lost control of the boat. Could not steer at all. Not wearing any huds other than Maitreya, so could that be the problem?

I'm puzzled as to why I cannot rez my boat at Blake Sea - Half Hitch (51, 35, 30) - Orta, when I have done so there before. Now I get notices I cannot rez it there at all. What gives? Do I have to be a member of the Blake Sea group? I went to the same spot where I was able to rez my boat before, and now it will not let me. Puzzled.....

Well hey, after much troubleshooting and settings work the boat now works fabulously, and is big fun on the Blake Sea. The only thing still not good is the pose it puts me in at the helm, sitting in the air instead of standing at the helm, and that might be because I'm so short. IDK. I sailed all over the Blake Sea without trouble, although some guy was out there in the water and wanted to board me, which I didn't let happen. No idea what he was doing out there, unless his boat sank.

Okay, I did everything I could find in the posted links, including moving my chat history elsewhere. I'll see how that works.

looking through the links you posted now. I'm supposed to have a Developer menu at the top of the screen, but I don't. I have Avatar, Comm, World, Build, Content, Help, Advanced, and that's it. okay, found it...

Well I think I have a pretty good internet connection, I just got Xfinity installed last week and it's way faster than the old CenturyLink connection, which was never more than 7.4 mbps, and now I have 118 mbps, so it's pretty fast and I've been able to download at 11mb/sec at times. I don't know what else the issue might be, but clearly the boat does work for others, just not me. When I get near one of these boats all sorts of weirdness happens. It's like that boat just don't like me.

I bought this really nice new sailboat, and read the manual, then set out sailing it. The instructions told me if I lowered the sails the motor would start, but if it did I could not motor anywhere with it. Also I could not cross sim lines, the screen would shudder and I'd just come to a stop. Also, I would get blown into land unpredictably, and I know this particular boat works for others, so now I'm wondering if it might not work for me because I'm on a Mac. The builder came and showed me how his works perfectly for him, but I while I was on board with him his boat would vanish, leaving me in the air, but he didn't see that I guess. I did. At one point I was about 100 yards off port floating in the air in a sitting position going along with the boat that way. Weird! At one point while sailing it just blew into land at high speed and there was nothing I could do to control it, but then it was back out on the water magically again. It also sank a couple times but came right back up. Also, I could not rez it at Blake sea at all, that was not allowed, even though I used the LM's the builder sent me. I've not had a good time with this boat. So might all this be because I'm on a Mac and the boat was built for Windows users?

I left the group yesterday, it just wasn't any fun, not like the old Frank's. I've not seen any of the other clubs increasing population either.

I've had quite enough of you who tell me it never happened or I somehow agreed to it. I will not respond to any more of this garbage.

I bought one after a friend showed me hers, and when I put it on it did not look anything like what I saw in the store and in fact was quite ugly. It's still in my inventory unused.

Ya know, I've had that very same experience, every sim I go to for a social life is empty. Even the most crowded sims I can sit in for hours and no one will talk to me. Yes, it's getting super boring for me too. If I IM someone I get one word replies and they trail off. It should not be like this.

Oh we are around, trust me on that.

Well I have been going to the new Frank's Elite Club and I have to say it compares quite poorly to the old Frank's, although it does have the lag. There is a quite limited crowd there at L$1000 a head, and it's always the same small bunch. Meh....really very mediocre.

I'd like to buy a sailboat, a quite particular sailboat, and I cannot find it on MP or anywhere else. Not having the building skills to build it myself I thought I might seek out someone who can. What I'm after is a J Class Sloop, 130 ft length, 22 ft. beam, 16 ft. draft, and 150 ft. mast, modeled after the J Class sloop Endeavor. The line drawings for all the J Class are to be found online. If this interests anyone please let me know. Thanks, a.
