@ellerc, there are a couple on the Marketplace, including one of Melanie's that looks really nice. Search "skate AO".
good luck :-)

It's a new "feature", similiar to Twitter following. When you view someone's profile, you now get the option to "follow" them/their profile for updates. We also now have Facebook type walls.I don't care for either of these, but it seems to be a trend. Someone here will know how or if you can disable it, most likely in privacy settings.

How dare you attack me when you don't even know me!?!? How rude is this!?! It is beyond rude!! Why did no one tell me there would be someone here accusing me of lying!?!?! Do I approve of this? My answer is NO! I demand proof of this!! PROOOOOOOFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had proof once, but I lost it. I'm only one person!!!!
*I probably should delete this, and I wish I had read through Maya's old posts before ever trying to help her in the first place. I'd have known it was just Maya being Maya and not someone genuinely asking for assistance. I'm annoyed with myself now for having let her get to me.*

Thank you, Anaiya, this is what I was trying to say but couldn't quite get out. Also Felix, there's nothing in the TOS forbidding fantasy, child, or fur avs, but many places don't allow them. Whether it's silly of them isn't the point. They are within their rights to ban for any reason, silly or not.

It's also possible to wear the item, right click it, go into edit, go to the content tab and extract the items from there. That way you won't need a place to rez it.Hope this helps ...DresThis is a good method for impatient people like myself, especially now that the box attaches to your hand rather than your head. No more embarrassing incidents.

Not that there is anything wrong with being a noob. They are cute, like tiny kittens taking their first wobbly steps.If Rintocho is a noob or not, I don't care. However, SL has a unique culture and there are some aspects of it that I've become accustomed to, even though I think it is strange.First, there is all the face talk. I thought
was extremely strange. Doesn't look like a face to me.
is cute, however.Second there is the making of words longer, when I would expect them to be shorter, for example, why type okie or okies, when ok or even just k will do?@Rintocho, may I suggest changing your display name to Supernoob?
I can a'splain that one. It's either an age thing or a region thing, but ancient (43) americans like myself use mostly emotes that represent faces turned sideways, like: ;-),
(that one turned itself into a cool face on it's own, but anyway..) and . Sideways, its a big grin with squinted eyes. I've noticed that younger people use the head on ones more. -

Wow, I love your skin!!! Very festive
Thank you! It isn't the skin though, it's a tatto from last year's Season's hunt :-).

All the pics so far are so pretty! Those darn Meeros seriously need to stop calling to me with their big eyes. I visited Alirium Gardens & couldn't stop snapping-what a gorgeous place.

I was trying to be helpful. While doing so, I tried to be honest. I criticized. I felt you were due some criticism. I tried to suggest ways to go forward. It bothers me that you are leaving SL because of something I said, but I'll get over it. I've re-read what I wrote. I don't think I see anything I'd change.Why are we commenting on Dillon's post? There were many many posts before Dillon's. So many helpful, offers of help, explanations, evidence requested and provided, patience extende and patience exhausted.Yes this Dillon. If you had read this thread all you posted was unnecessary redunduncey (spelled wrong on purpose).Again, my post count is higher than yours because I volunteered for months here as a helper with the viewer as I researched a lot of things on the internet that were very helpful to me and wanted to share them. This thread has been unnecessarily repetitive, and your criticism was out of touch with knowing anything about me.It's not a flounce. Again, I've asked for a lock. I wanted to leave yesterday, but this forum is almost always like this with endless badgering and stupid criticism.When someone asks will you leave me alone please, posters still won't.To all of you --- Goodbye. Does that spell it out yet? Yet? Well, soon it will. I can only hope. LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE!Maya, people are still commenting in this thread because it still interests them. Not all the replies are even directed at you. The thread needn't be locked, just stop reading it if you're tired of it.

I don't think it was any one person's post.
I think what Maya was looking for was for us to either pat-pat her and tell her that camming was indeed a nasty rumor or for us to join her in her indiignation. When she got neither, she got upset and is trying to find a place to pin the blame.
I feel silly now for actually thinking she wanted information.
-
Maya, I think "hypercritical" is a bit much. Even the people who did criticize you also gave you helpful advice and well wishes. You've been offered technical information, hospitality, sympathy, and yes, a bit of a reality check. There is so much good advice here if you will try to read it with a little less emotion.

I think some of the more bluntly worded warnings happen after the land owner has explained themselves time after time, then finally decided to put out an orb or a sign. At that point, they've used up all their patience and are venting. I agree with you that a more calmly worded warning would be nice.
-
Thank goodness you showed up, I'd already written the check and was about to drop then envelope in the mail.

@Ian; I'm glad you specified strangers, I was having a difficult time believing that women didn't want you to see them naked.

I actually have a line something like that in my profile. If my crosshairs are on you, it's not out of any ill intent.
*eta* It helps to think of SL in terms of what you can do, rather than what others can or might do to you.

Ian Undercroft wrote:You see, whilst I agree that Maya has perhaps been overly-dramatic, and her innocence has been surprising, I can't help but think that very many women in SL would feel uncomfortable if, when sat in their own bath in their own home, they discovered a stranger's camera focussed in on them.
I agree. I've had people cam on me while I was changing, or walk into my home and I wouldn't say it upset me, but yes, I was annoyed, and I do know that my level of nonchalance about nudity and peeping it is atypical.
I think the main thing is to not let a few cheap thrill seekers spoil your experience. In my opinion, "Ugh, get outta here you creep." is a normal response. "Oh my GAwWWD! My life is ruined! I can never change clothes again!!!", is an overreaction.

Did you purchase from the Marketplace or from the inworld shop, Astral? The Marketplace often has issues, my advice is use it to browse, but go inworld to actually but.
Timeframe will depend on how often the creator logs in. Good luck :-)
*man y'all are fast*

Ian Undercroft wrote:I'm a little surprised at the number of women posting here and, seemingly, suggesting that they couldn't care whether strangers caught sight of their avatars naked. It's inconsistent with the views of the majority of women that I've met in SL.
I think it depends on whether you see your avatar as being essentially "you". I see mine as my pixellated vehicle for getting around in SL. Stella, while she shares most of my opinions and emotions, is much more outgoing than my rl self. I made her, spend ridiculous amounts of time prettying her up and I think she's cute as heck. I like for people to look at her.
But, I know that Maya isn't the only person who feels the way she does, she just expressed in a more adamant way than I've previously heard.
I think if might be helpful for those who do worry about being cammed to turn on the 'show look at' just to see that most people are actually looking at themselves.

Trust is broken here with SL for me. I'm sitting here wondering what other things I don't know or wasn't told?
Maya, I'm glad you stayed :-). As for the question above, I've been in SL almost four years and there are endless things I don't know about. I'd venture to guess that even for those who have been here since Beta, there are new surprises occasionally. It's a large and complex platform, no one could possibly tell you everything you want or need to know in six months.
As for your home, I've been in my current one for almost a year and I'm nowhere close to 80% finished. Like with almost everything in either life, it's the getting there that's the fun anyway. You've gotten some sincere and very kind offers of help in this thread. Take them. Then relax and try to enjoy your journey.

If you're this upset about our having gone into your house and snapped a few photos on your prompting, with the location you gave us, then I think you probably should just take a break and get a little perspective.
With all the work you put into your home, you must have enjoyed the time you spent on it, and if your health allows you to go out for lunch, surely it allows you to throw around a prim or two occasionally. You don't have to do it all at once.
But, if it's the fact of having found out how little privacy you can expect in SL, then you may be right to find something else.

Maya, you specifically asked us to go and see if we could cam into your house and to post pictures for proof. I think it's a shame to let this discovery spoil your sl. Buy your tub and have a relaxing soak.
Mayalily wrote:Yes, lol. I'd like to see the proof, so use my house and let's see. If you are on viewer 3, then you should be able to cam into my house. I'm not going to even be rl home until after about 2pm SLT today.My zoom seems to stop when I'm on my porch, bridge, near the pool, etc, and only zooms my avi, then stops. When I'm up in the air on my rental sim, I can zoom around way far. Weird.
So, we did. And we had a bit of goodnatured fun at your naivete'.
eta. I am sorry that you're this upset about it. I don't think anyone here intended to hurt you, I know I didn't. -
lol, Nacy. I generally wear them, but I choose them with cam pervs in mind.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have about half of my group notices off, especially the ones who send most frequently; music venues and freebie/lucky chair groups. Then I go back and check notices when I have time and want something to do.
