[Breaking News! 2 Avatars in custody after using Display Names]

How prophetic....

LL had to crack down.  This was a public forum and easy pickings.  Be well, Keli, and maintain humor!

Saying "I'm not a Linden" in your profile isn't a perfect CYA solution either.

The instances where I have encountered an actual Linden inworld, I never checked their profile.  I assumed s/he was the 'real thing'.

yes that is true but I made a Kwant Resident alt the other day so no other twit would pretend to be me and there was nothing to tell me not to use Linden. We all know but do they make it clear to new people? Or is the person we are talking about not new, in which case she should have known better than to play with the Linden name. Don't get me wrong I am no Linden lover, I think they are mostly a bunch of tossers but I do know I would get squished if trying in any way even if only by eye to appear to be one I would likely get into trouble.

Weelll, she is a pretty sharp tack.  However, there will be lindens and Iindens and IIndens...etc etc. until LL does a bit of edumacating the masses.  There will be someone inworld who will see one of those names and think it is a 'real' Linden and start asking all sorts of uncomfortable questions.

Yes but how are new folk to know the rules before they even get their feet wet.

She does state that it was Iinden (cap 'I') and not linden (small 'l').  But, *sighs* I guess LL does not have a sense of humor, or a good pair of glasses, for that matter.

Hello all.  If I don't renew my premium membership, do I have to give up my mainland holdings? (I currently own 4 parcels and a little linden home)

I understand I will still need to pay 1/4 sim tier for my parcels.

ETA: I have deeded the parcels to my group.  No one in the group is a premium but me.

This statement is false. 

[Nothing is working. Avatar remains Ruthed. Help. :(]

I am sending you a folder.  Wear everything in this folder (just use 'replace' on your avie).  Once you have fully rezzed, you can then replace each item with what you would normally wear.  Since you did not try this method, it is the only thing left that I can think of trying and it worked for me a couple of weeks ago, also using Phoenix viewer.  Keep the folder in case you need it again sometime.

I'll facepalm myself after this question - how do I see/check if I muted by accident or on purpose?

Right click object, select mute.  I am guessing.  Unmute the same way. It is on the 3rd level pie menu.

I checked the object and it was *not* muted. sighs.  I really wanted to facepalm myself. 

One more try.  Go to Help, Submit a Ticket but select the Premium Live Chat feature on the right column.  Do not bother filling out the Submit a Case Q&A.  Hopefully, someone there can help you resolve it.

[Mainland continent names]

Thanks Storm .  I love reading history books where the text is supplemented with maps so that I can visualize the journey of the explorer(s) or the transitions from decade to decade.  Helps to put things in perspective.  Even on road trips I love to navigate!

Enjoy!

[Mainland continent names]

Many thanks Wolf and Paladin for your helpful posts.  I've looked at both locations.  Since I could get copies of the maps at the NCI location, I've given Wolf the extra point.  Best wishes to you both.

Peace

Thanks, LittleMe.  I've posted a note to Torley Linden's webpage that it would be helpful to consolidate this information on the mainland continents with current maps, sim names, etc.  I appreciate your help.

Peace

Awesome!! Can you post a link please?

Someone asked me recently about mainland continent names.  Other than Zindra, I don't know them.  I've searched a bit on the Wiki and can't find a page that concisely lists the names and shows their locations.  Can anyone help?

Peace
