See the envelope in the upper right corner? That says you have 994 notifications lined up. If you have too many notifications the viewer will take too long to try to load them and it will log out like you're seeing. You need to get rid of them. I'm not sure exactly how to do this right now but it's a known problem and you should be able to search for an answer or someone else here may know how to do it.

There's a glitch with some viewers that causes what you're seeing. Once you accept the TOS you can use your regular viewer again.

Awwww At least you got notice - one day I was flying my airplane across the Mainland and I hit banlines when I was flying above standard ban-line height - turned out a forumite who I'd never had any interaction with banned me from their land (along with two others from the forum who I've also never seen have any interaction with this particular avatar.) I really should have just left my airplane stuck there...

trynadawn wrote: I hope this is the right place to post this, but lately, ever since I accepted that ToS all the child avatars I see, the babies and toddlers and really small ones all look deformed and stretched out and it's sort of freaking me out... aha. I don't know if this is a common thing or if it's easily fixable, but if you could help that would be amazing! I use Firestorm, the Hybrid version. They're usually mesh avatars with the default SL shape deformed with a special AO so the body parts will work properly. Sometimes when your viewer doesn't load the mesh correctly you'll see the underlying shape like that - re-logging usually fixes it. Are you having any other problems seeing mesh now?

I'd suggest looking at Pink Fuel, Izzie's or Belleza, too. Pink Fuel has some of the most customizable looks around and has very good value. For maximum flexibility many skin makers are using tattoos to handle makeup and cleavage now.

Facelights are useful sometimes for photography where they serve the function of fill lights that RL photographers use, but for general walking around they frequently look bad and disruptive. They came into fashion under older rendering systems and to people using the new higher-end "lighting and shadows/advanced lighting model" some can look ridiculously bright. One easy way to have your avatar's face look better is to not stare at it and nitpick - this also works in RL. You're probably looking more for a solution like a custom Windlight (world lighting) setting though - this is a way of modifying the unflattering default lighting to a softer look. Many skin manufacturers have notecards describing how to do this. However, there's no way that you can reliably control how your avatar looks TO OTHERS because there are a number of different rendering systems and you can't know what other people are using.

I'll be chatting with someone after having just gotten back in, and again, gray screen and crashola. This is making SL a real hassle to deal with, and really putting a big damper on it. This always seems to happen while I'm chatting with a friend, and we get cut off repeatedly by it. I'd like to understand what's making this happen. Is this a server problem? Is it because the sim is too full of people? I can't be in London City any more for more than ten minutes before getting the gray screen and crashing, then I have to log back in, go to my house and then back to London City, because it won't let me go to my last location directly. This is really making SL hard to use and not much fun at all. Does anyone know why this is happening? It used to be I could sitting at a table in London City as long as I wanted without this happening, but now I can't be there ten minutes without crashing. I've tried increading my cache to 3072 mb but it still happens. Is there anything at all I can do on my end? The gray screen and the "darn" message are usually a sign that the server has been unable to communicate with your viewer for an extended period of time. In SL there's a constant two-way connection between your computer and the sim you're on. Are you using a wireless connection by any chance? I used to get that problem frequently with satellite internet. Sometimes the connection would be dropped but I could catch it and reconnect before I was logged out.

Looks like you were working from a photo? The problem is that you just used a straight-on photo and a skin template is a flattened "peeled-off" skin, like you were attacked by the creepy guy from Silence of the Lambs. The top oval is the skin on the entire front half of your head flattened out, for instance. It's going to look a lot different from a straight-on face just like a map of the world looks different from a globe. You should also take a look at Eloh Eliot's skins - she puts her Photoshop files on the Internet and they're free to use. They'll give you a really good look at how the skin is laid out: https://sites.google.com/site/another/resources

The problem is very simple. Linden dollars are convertible to RL currency. If RL currency could only go INTO SL then anonymity is a fine thing. If the money was from illegal activities, well, it's better for illegal money to be used to buy imaginary islands than a lot of other things. However, in SL illegally aquired money could be turned into Lindens that are indistinguishable from any others, and then they can be withdrawn into real-world currency or exchanged for still other electronic currency like Bitcoins. One of the reasons the LindeX isn't a very good currency exchange is the Lindens DON'T WANT IT TO BE. They want it to be just good enough to be usable for SL but not good enough that people will want to use it for other purposes. It's interesting that VirfWoX's business had been steadily climbing even though SL has plateaued or is shrinking - there are people who have joined SL ONLY to buy Lindens and then transfer them into Bitcoins on VirWoX. We had one on the forums a couple of months ago.

I've known a guy who had only one hand and on that one hand he had 2 fingers and he drives to work and home EVERY morning. And a 65 year old woman who was homeless in a wheelchair but she went to work everyday. Not only that she set up a christmas tree outside of her little corner.While theirs others complaining they can't do this and that anymore while their are disabled people out their working, which is what you forgot to leave out. Secondlife to me should not be your ONLY source of income meaning you should have a back up job, and if you are saying they don't need one, I hope you are ready to take care of all the people you are telling this to. Yes you did and I quote: RiiCassidy wrote: "....They should already have a job in rl and personally secondlife shouldn't be your main source of income, it can disappear tommorow and they wouldn't get any notice to be honest. I mean I don't really sympathize for them, If you actually make a million dollars off secondlife a year then thats okay. But if you are only making about 15-50 thousand a year, you need to get a side job, to keep up with the REAL economy." Secondly I am aware that some partially disabled people can and do work, and that's great. I didn't 'leave' them out because they are not the ones that I was talking about. I was referring to people who so ill they are confined to bed or have health issues that prevent them from doing any work. What about someone with cancer that is undergoing chemo and radiation and throwing up all day long? I am sure there are plenty of jobs for them. What about people that care for these people and have to be with them all the time? What about people that can't find a job because no one will hire them due to their disability? What about someone that can't afford daycare for 3-4 children because the cost would exceed any amount they can earn in a job and so they stay at home to care for them while their spouse works but rely on the income they make in SL to help make ends meet even if it is only a few thousand a year? I am not saying these folks don't need a job, i am saying it is impossible for them to get a job in RL. You are must be very young and/or naive or have lived a sheltered life to think that people like this don't exist.. And also, I'll let you both in on a secret - those of us behind the keyboard are actually in, well, real life when we get on SL. Doesn't seem like it sometimes, but we are. SOOOO.... If someone makes RL money doing things in SL? RL job. Not all "jobs" involve going somewhere else and working for someone else - in fact, until about 150 years ago almost EVERYONE worked from home.

The weekly payments typically arrive on Tuesday mornings. And to answer the next common question, the L$1000 bonus will arrive after you've been a Premium member for 45 consecutive days.

The way it's normally done on the Linden roads and similar situations is that they place one prim on one side of the border that extends across the sim border and another that does the same thing on the other side. The prims will overlap at the crossing and avatars won't fall through because the viewer will always realize there's a prim under the avatar.

You seem to be confusing "shapes" and "skins" when it comes to demos. The shape is the underlying, well, shape of your avatar and to keep you from using it as a freebie the makers generally enlarge the hands and feet. They do this because it's impossible to write anything on a shape - the things you see writing on are actually "skins", which are the, well, skins of the avatar but which are separate things from the shape. You can have a skin from one place and a shape from another. It sounds like you've actually got a demo shape. Full versions of shapes will have normal-sized feet and hands and most will allow you to adjust the settings. If you want a free shape for a young man I'd suggest going to a store called Heaven's Gate which has more decent-quality free stuff than you can shake a stick at.

I logged into the official viewer which i forgot to do before making this, it seems to be a problem fixer, anyway im logged in, but when i was logged in it was something weird attatched to me, not sure what it was. You were trying to log in with Firestorm before, yes? What you're seeing is probably the Firestorm "bridge" - it's actually created by copying a rock from the Library and then loading scripts into it. There are times when you'll see yourself wearing a rock when you're using a different viewer after using Firestorm.

Rather it's them not listening or them just not being very smart. Im just so annoyed with certain users. Espcially the huge boobed blonde hair gaped teeth mean girls on here. And with people who just sit and hang out in Truth Hair, I mean if you are done shopping why don't you let somebody else on the sim. What about you ? Yep, this thread's lookin' just about exactly like what I was expecting it to look like.

Okay, I won't tell you you can't play it. However, I WILL tell you that the system requirements specifically say that Nvidia Quadro cards haven't been tested. Nvidia bills Quadro cards as professional 2D cards so they probably aren't optimized for 3D display, which is what you need for SL. It's like hiring a brilliant painter and asking them to make you a sculpture. They might be able to do it but they might not.

Are you referring to messages sent to your offline E-mail? There are reports recently of Hotmail and possibly other Email providers hitting automatic Emails from Second Life through a prescreening filter so they're blocked even before they get to your spam folder.

WolfBaginski Bearsfoot wrote: This is the only place I can see for getting money into the LindeX system It's the third line: "Currently, you must add at least USD 25.00 at a time." If I have misunderstood that, Linden Labs need to explain things with more clarity. Once the money is there, it seems to be usable for anything. You don't have to convert it to L$ in one lump. But, as they tell you, you can't get it back out. Theresa Tennyson looks at the clicky button on her viewer that says, "Buy L$". Any time you buy Lindens, including the small amount that you buy through clicky buttons, you're putting money into the LindeX system. I think what you're looking at is strictly for limit orders where you can try to determine your exchange rate, and they put a minimum amount so people don't gum up the system because they want to pay 23 cents for an imaginary tank top instead of 24. And you know there'd be people who'd do exactly that if they had a chance.

Steph Catseye wrote: LL MUST get their act together, the government suggests that virtual currencies are not a token they are currencies, that makes LindeX a bank and not only that a bank is not allowed to keep money longer than 24 hours, they need to provide better options because Paypal is for babies and Ebayers but not for business owners. Where? In the United States banks frequently won't allow you to withdraw all the money from a large deposit for days.

Have you installed a viewer for SL? Safari can't access the SL 3D world directly. Normally teleports from the web site are done by clicking on a web link which will then open the browser application separately - It isn't a plugin.

The way Second LIfe works is usually that the developers at Linden Lab provide a basic framework that other people can use to create things. For instance, there are attachments you can buy that will give you an "ovulation cycle" and get "pregnant," but this isn't a built-in feature of the avatars. There is also the possibility to have your avatars' "health" go down in certain sims that enable that. What you're suggesting is more of a project for an independent creator in Second Life than one for the Linden Lab developers themselves.

Unless of course they killed someone or stole something or are just a piece of crap that treats others like a piece of crap. Then it becomes questionable. Some people you.. Just. Don't. Like. Period. Doesn't make them a bad person, just means there is a conflict of personalities. Seems like the ones who get along in the world best are the ones who keep their opinions to themselves. All of us who post here just are not like that. :matte-motes-big-grin: Just my two pennies! Have a great day/night! As humanity has expanded the area of "civilization" many wild animals have had their population decline dramatically but there's one big exception - the coyote. Coyotes are actually more widespread now than they ever have been. I heard someone describe the reason for their success by saying, "Coyotes never get into a fight they can't win." Makes sense to me.

Rudy Schwartzman wrote: Then explain to me why the only thing that changed in the equation was time. Linden Lab changed how they send HTTP information to viewers a month or so ago; it actually improved performance for most people. For you, apparently, it didn't. Also a number of third-party viewers defaulted to having HTTP textures switched off until recently, but server-side baking will make heavy use of HTTP so they changed their defaults.

Sounds like a known problem with Intel HD4000 graphics, Windows 8 and SL. Simplest fix is to turn off basic shaders.
