Glad to know it's not just me. I find it hard to understand that if what they tried yesterday works, then why not leave it alone? 😉 I can stop trying to fix it on my end. Thanks, Rowan.

I like to find some really elegant and luxurious house for rent in some fancy neighborhood and rent it for a week or two and then move on. I have my friends visit me there at least once. My goal is to live in all of the fanciest luxury estates in SL for at least a week. I also take pictures, decorate, landscape, retexture clothing, and run a cozy jazz club and various other businesses. I also babysit animesh babies for my friends who are into pretending to have had a baby, then get bored and want to go out at night.

Workaround: Change your content type on the individual photo to "photo" or whatever the group used to accept.

How would you know if the consumer owns the original product if they did not buy it from you? What if they have the original product and choose to use the new product you are selling in other ways? The only way I can think of is if you have them come to your store to get an updated or exclusive product. And have them enter their original transaction number into some sort of database you created to keep track of who owns the original product....CasperVend has something that may be like that...you go to their mainstore to get updates on your product and they know if your avatar has purchased it or not. This of course will not work with MP. Other vendors require the purchaser to become a member of the update group and the new product is only offered to those members of the particular update group. (Before you allow them into the group, you can have them submit their transaction numbers.) But in the end, you give the purchaser the right to use your textures in SL. You really can't prevent them from using them in SL any way they can or want to. You can only stop them from reselling the original or derivatives....then it is on you to follow up with that. If someone buys the wrong attachment for their body and you do not give refunds and have offered a demo....it's on them. Caveat emptor. Sounds like a lot of extra work.

My advice is this: SL gives us very good ways to ignore negative people. Use them. Block that person, ignore their reviews...Add a disclaimer to your product descriptions ("all products sold here are gachas and the items are original, in their original packaging." ) or devise a standard response ("This is a fake review posted by a troll with an unknown agenda.") and just let it go. If you stay engaged with these people, they will continue to play with you. Reporting them to LL is good...they seem to be responsive. But DO NOT destroy your Second Life by giving away your power to people you don't know (random trolls). Stop giving them power over you. It has been my experience that if a buyer wants an object they will buy it regardless of the trolls. It's your Second Life. Enjoy it.

Something to consider is that all kinds of people come for all kinds of reasons. Some people come to play Barbies...to shop and dress. Some come to build, some to decorate, some to play families, some to find others with the same physical disabilities. Those people who decorate a new house every week are living the Second Life they choose...it's not a commentary on consumer culture...it is what they came to do. Others came to chat with people who share the same interests or goals, be it Star Trek, fairy tales, 2-D art, travel, or whatever. Every new resident is not a gamer looking to win at a video game. There are lots of people who DO stay for the very reasons I came and stay.

In my case, I came in to SL because I was a gamer girl. The first sounds I heard was someone saying really awful things about Black people. Made me wonder what kind of racist hell had I wandered into. I left and didn't return until a group of my friends from Red Light Center all decided to move to Second Life...all of us came together. Therefore we learned together and made our own community. We did have a mentor, one who was a DJ in both metaverses who made it easy for all of us. I think that if newcomers were able to easily fit into a community, they would be more likely to stay. It is terrible not knowing who you can ask, and who you can recruit to explore with. That stays with you.

We reported a Mainland parcel displaying the same type of White Supremacy symbols...really really large so it could be seen in neighboring regions....and about 24 hours later, I recieved an email acknowledging my report, and shortly thereafter, the nuisance was gone, and the parcel it was on, was vacant.

Thank you so much!

I adore this hair. Any ideas about where I can find it or even hair like this?

For me, the way your avatar is dressed means much more than if your avatar is mesh or classic. I am not going to talk to anyone who is in the mall with their buttocks, nipples and *****es exposed. I know from that they have no sense of inappropriateness and that any conversations with them are going downhill fast, most likely because I will be thinking the whole time that this person behind this avatar is either really immature or shallow or something more sinister. Ain't nobody got time for all that. I just keep moving.

I own a region/private region...My partner is listed as a region manager, but he is unable to do regional things. He is also unable to change the music stream on the sim, except for his personally owned parcel. In order for him to change the music streams on the other parcels, does the land need to be group owned? He is granted those permissions in the group and is wearing his tag. He is an Officer in the group. Thanks for your help, friends.

Anyone who is looking to pay for a significant service would be wise to see actual examples of a service provider's work. That is common sense. As the saying goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted." And as the SL saying goes, "Always try the demo." So I am saying to the OP, See what you are buying with your own eyes before paying for anything.

Benka be sure you see with your own eyes an example of anyone's landscaping work BEFORE parting with money. Don't hire someone that cannot take you to a sim they have developed or designed in world. Word to the wise.

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/rvn-my-rock-grab-follow-HUD-packed/22066920 RVN store has lots of couples animations like you describe. Grab-Follow HUDs.

We desire a cohesive look and feel for our private island. It will house the Center for the Arts, a BeYou themed restaurant, a nightclub and a shopping plaza. However we need design help to include building placement and upgraded landscaping. Please contact Harmony Evergarden so that we can discuss and have you out to take a look. Thank you.

Is this a homestead region, or can it be commercial?

I adore this story, this video. Congratulations! You do beautiful work.
