Go into "About Land" - "Options" and make sure "Teleport Routing" is set to "Anywhere" and not "Landing Point". What you're describing sounds like teleports going to a landing point on the ground instead of the actual location of the landmark.

Please ask again in your native language. There are people who read many languages here and your translated post can't be understood.

Thinking it was the same griefer that crashed the SIM I just went back to the concert. Then I got banned from the SIM. A couple minutes later I got an IM from someone asking, did you enjoy the concert, LOL. Because of the LOL I was thinking it was the griefer that crashed the SIM so I asked why he is a griefer. I did not realize he was the one playing at the concert (I had got an invite and just went to the concert not paying attention to who was playing) and he thinks I crashed the SIM. I feel good when I get my avatar to walk in a straight line and would have no idea how to crash a SIM and have no interest in knowing. But can't the land owner look and see what happened and know that it was not me. It is a music venue and all I do in SL is go to live events and crashing a SIM keeping me away from the only thing I do would be just stupid. I may not be the brightest bulb on the tree but I am not that stupid, is there anything I can do to clear my name? For several months there has been a problem with crowded sims suddenly having their simulator physics frame rate (i.e. the speed the actual server is running) plummet while there is simultaneously a large increase in "net time" (communications time with the servers.) I've seen this a few times and it seems to happen when there are avatars arriving in quick succession. My guess is that something that some specific avatars wear causes a data logjam when it's being sent to everyone else on a sim. It's very interesting that you were identified as the "crasher" - maybe you were and didn't realize it. If you can remember exactly what you were wearing that could be very useful information. My suspicion is that it has something to do with badly made mesh.

I have exactly the same processor with two GB more memory and a Nvidia GT 640 card and run SL very well. Try these: You didni't say what viewer you're using. Right now, the Linden Lab release viewer 3.4.5 may be fastest for your computer by a noticeable margin if my experience is compatible. Turn "Lighting and Shadows" on in "Graphics" - "Preferences" but set the "Shadows" selector to "None." Don't set your anti-aliasing any higher than 2x - with Lighting and Shadows (also called Deferred Rendering) on the viewer uses a special anti-aliasing procedure that gives very good results at lower settings. I use a draw distance of 128, max non-impostor avatars at 12. If you've gotten into the "Develop" menu and turned "Full Res Textures" on, TURN IT OFF. It will burn through video and system memory with no real visble benefit. I don't do anything fancy with the Nvidia settings - it runs fine for me with the SL application controlling things.

The "Baby Monkey" shoe store offers a free notecard that has RGB numbers for many common skins. You can get it at the "reception desk" of their store toward the left side by the bags of free items.

The default walks look bad - almost everyone uses something called an AO or "animation overrider" which customizes their animations. There are many choices of AO's that you can get; some are available for free. To dance at a club, there's usually a ball floating in the air or some other object that will make your avatar dance - you click on it, give it permission to animate you and then (often) choose a specific dance. You can also buy dances in the form of animations that you can play out from your inventory or you can get a personal dance system called a "chimera" that will let you choose from a variety of dances you own and play them anywhere.

It's like they had all these little features they wanted to tie in and just attached them to a central hub with out considering what we needed the vast majority of the time. There are too many detours getting from here to there. It's all a matter of what you're used to. Personally I've never used a V1 interface viewer for everyday use and the few times I have I found the concept of the contact list being included with (and therefore hidden under) the chat to be breathtakingly idiotic. I often hear see my friends who use V1 interfaces miss people being online, send IM's to the wrong person and say things in local chat that they meant for an IM. I lead a quite chat-intensive Second LIfe and find the Viewer 2/3 chat flow to work just fine. I'm not saying it's bad that you prefer the V1 chat flow, however, consider this: the people who find V1 chat flow superior almost certainly don't use Viewer 3, so I don't see who would be served by changing back to the old chat flow in a viewer largely used by people who don't use it.

You can't copy anything you're wearing by using regular inventory copy. You either have to put on a different shape temporarily or go into "Edit My Shape" and selecting "Save As" - that will make a copy of the shape you're wearing.

Your account needs to be 30 days old in order to convert Lindens to dollars and probably other transactions. This is to reduce the risk of people trying to launder money by moving large amounts of real money in and out of SL quickly.

The main release viewer IS the former Beta viewer. That's always the case - Beta viewers are simply a test version of the next release viewer. If there's some configuration problem that means you can't run a release viewer but can run a beta viewer you should describe it so you could get it fixed. Also, just in case you're wondering, you don't have to use a Beta viewer to access the Beta grid - just go into "Preferences - Advanced" and select "Show Grid selection at login."

Perrie Juran wrote: Like NO INDICATION of which friends are On Line! That is not a minor issue! Except in the people panel. And in the pop-up notices. Where it's always been in V2/3. Tell you the truth, it was always my friends with V1 interfaces who kept going, "Oh, I didnt' know you were on!" Because thier contact list was buried behind their chat.

sorrano wrote: Hey everyone, I have a question regarding the purchase of land on a private estate. Just over a week ago, I bought land that was listed as 'Adult' and also that either Residential or Commercial use was ok. This is ideal for me as I needed Adult Commercial land, so I went ahead and bought 2 adjoining parcels. The landlord was very helpful and even merged the 2 boxes into one for me. However, I logged in today to see that the sim has been changed to Moderate Residential only. I just renewed my lease for another week (5K +) and now I have land which is of no use to me! My question is, how do I stand here? Am I owed a refund or is this a risk I must take? Like can the Landlord change this whenever they like with no notice? None was received, by the way. Any help would be much appreciated! Ethan You could also try to see if there's a way you can swap for a lot on another sim owned by the same landlord that's got what you need.

Your CPU speed and memory is barely sufficient to run Vista, much less running SL on top of it. 2) Your operating system is two service packs behind being current. 3) Your integrated video was low-end in 2007 and the maker doesn't even offer drivers for it anymore. You can try updating your Vista installation and drivers, but you're probably better off looking for a new computer. If that's not an option you might try running something like Singularity as your viewer.

They're "toasts" because they pop up like bread out of a toaster. It's not true that computer people have no senses of humor - actually they DON'T have senses of humor BUT THEY THINK THEY DO.

Codewarrior Congrejo wrote: The Testgrid seems to be up again - just logged in sucessfully after almost a week downtime. Cheers! Code It appears that Beta accounts that had inventory issues lately are behaving properly too.

You can get HUD's that indicate locations that have ban lines and when you're over the ban line height. No-script land shouldn't keep your vehicle from flying unless for some reason you have to start a new script or modify a running one, and vehicles can fly right over no-object-entry land. There is a problem if you enter a lot that doesn't have enough free prims immediately upon crossing a sim border but that's a server glitch. The mini-map is also a useful tool, especially the improved one used by the Catznip and Dolphin viewers.

You can also make the list of names narrower by sliding the divider between the text field and the names until the double-arrow button is next to the the microphone button, which means the buttons will be no wider than the function buttons under the icon on the Viewer 3 release IM box. You can also resize the width of the windows. Finally, unlike the standard viewer, the "minimize" button on the CHUI communications window is actually NOT as useless as teats on a boar hog. The comm stack I use (local chat window plus tabbed IM's) is actually smaller under CHUI than it is using the current Viewer 3.

WolfBaginski Bearsfoot wrote: Do Abuse Reports work? We get an automatic acknowledgement, which tells us that we will never be told of any action taken. The TOS is the same. I've seen one incident I reporting--replicating prims spewing particles, and dragging down sim/physics frame rates--carrying on for over 24 hours. Is it worth bothering making a report? All the evidence I have is that it's not worth the trouble. Nothing happens. And this is pretty clear evidence of nothing. And what happened after 24 hours? Did they finally take down the grid and we're all currently in some sort of post-Second Life Matrix dream world? Or did someone from LL EVENTUALLY clean them up? After they were REPORTED? I've always seen problems I've reported in SL get cleaned up eventually but it sometimes takes a few days. I used to live in a RL city where certain property crimes realistically were NEVER investigated becase there were so many other more serious crimes that the police were busy with.

Group notices, etc. that people allow to build up unacknowledged can cause viewer crashing and login problems, and I suspect what you're seeing is an attempt to solve this. Your group notices are still available if you go to the group info panel for your groups and look for notices.

At about the time you started having problems a lot of people started having problems with SL communicating with the DNS servers their internet providers use, and it seemed to be worse in Europe. Many people were helped by using Google's free DNS servers. You should be able to search for how to do this - it's a common problem and solution.

I just went to your store and the sim was running flawlessly. Are you on a Mac by any chance?

SLtesterL2 wrote: Just wandering since I avoided using FS because I thought it was a thing of its own. While it does run SL, I was wondering if LL benefits from users logging on using FS instead of the offical viewer. IDK i felt kinda gilty not helping and contributing the people who gaveme this virtual world. FS feels like a guilty pleasure... :matte-motes-mad: Linden Lab doesn't benefit from ANY viewer - their entire revenue stream comes from land rental and other things that are independent of the viewer. LL wants people to use viewers that use current server technology, which Firestorm does. The difference between any two viewers is similar to the difference between a Pontiac Firebird and a Chevy Camaro - cosmetic differences and minor additions/subtractions but based on the same basic technology and structure. Linden Lab wants people to sign in to Second Life - that's all they care about. If a lot of people do that using Firestorm instead of the LL viewer, so what? Actually, in reading the Firestorm blog I suspect the Lab is delighted to not have to deal with that particular complaint stream.

Can someone offer me a good shop inwrold or on the marketplace (coz im gonna buy the stuff form him)? And a nother thing, its a bit annoying, you can only find muscular avi's for any categorie for this type, if someone would be able to help me out a bit i would be happy. Thank you folks You might like avatars from Teen Turf too. They had a few boys last time I checked.

I didn't do anything out of theordinary i don't think (i did uncheck http textures because I heard it can decrease lag but then i returned to normal afterwards since it did nothing on my laptop and nothing bad happened) I logged in twice yesterday (the same day I unchecked and rechecked the HTTP texture features) and no problems. I log in today however (3 times to see if it was fixed but nothing) and I see the screen is messed up. I would love to show you guys a picture but the file im trying to upload is a little too big. Im sorry. Thank you so much andplease if you can, help. Clearing your cache should fix that. Have you been using more than one viewer? Sometimes what you're seeing happens when two different viewers share the same cache.
