[Donna Summer the Queen of Disco's Last Dance was today.. Rest in Peace =(]

RIP Angel

[Why projects fail]

Ah the memories Not a lot to add except been there and very glad I'm now retired from that particular field =^^=

[How do you build a Dome?]

It can insofar as it can rez one from its inventory

[Tips on a griefer who uses Marketplace reviews to grief.]

I saw a few of those reviews cached on a Google search and was very happy for you to see them taken down when I checked your listings. If its any consolation to me they did look like someone with a grudge (to put it mildly) and yes the flagging response team did a good  job. And yes blackmail is just that

 

[Mad Men promotion: the smoking gun]

Well as a "derivative" it didn't work for me. I saw the promo,  was curious, read what little blurb there was and had a little poke around what passes for popular culture and - lo and behold something on the telly I never heard of before. So bit of a backfire all round really =^^=

[new LSL Feature : HTTP texture on a prim]

Temp upload or the per session link to your own machines textures etc (I use that to preview sculpties) or the Beta grid

[Q about the new "Can't see folks' true online status anymore" change to viewers]

Yep tested and seeing the same. They drop off your dashboard but...only updated with a relog, page refresh (unless theres a major delay) doesn't reflect any changes (ie person rechecks the show online box, at least using singularity).

[Love this hair and would love to get it, please help!!!!!!!!]

Think the point is the hair isn't listed as part of the package hence the OPs attempt to contact the seller =^^=

[Interview about using Second Life]

Did calling it "my Anthpology class" gain any credits? =^^=

[What has being in Second Life taught to you?]

Two words.."Stuff Happens" ==

[Blackmail?]

A threat is a threat, be it against an individual or a group. There is an AR entry for that, so do it. =^^=

[Aggressive Profiles]

But we thought you liked it =^^=

[LL Removing listings due to their own bug induced error]

But thats just.....ah but wait, its actually consistent. Sort of. We're making the mistake of thinking that those responsible for delisting are aware of the whole mess. Now normally, you would think the current situation would have been passed on to them.

However.....

[Saggy pants on Men..yes or no?]

Absolute No vote here too

['Friends' Online Status Flag]

You ask " Why, then, should a so-called friend be allowed to alter that without one knowing ?" - well, because its their choice to. Very simple really. The "allowed" part is an interesting insight.

[Rodvik Humble's response to DD problems]

Well, playing Devil's advocate, what percentage of SLers read these forums...or even any part of the website? Yes some ongoing notification of the state of play on ogin would be nice, for example. The other point of using Twitface et al is to show the outside worls (ie people not on SL) that the CEO is taking an active role in the running of the company and hears users worries... =^^=

[Is there a way to "abandon" a MarketPlace store so the name can be used by someone else?]

Probably the wrong place but I wondered if it was possible to either pass ownership of a MarketPlace store to another or else abandon it (delete it?) so another could use the name, or are store names non reusable in the same way as group names?

Thanks

[Should 'Verified RL.....' Groups Actually Be Allowed ?]

Seriously funny from the Av who was so insistent that wanting to be in world but showing as away was the basest form of skullduggery (yay neat word) and obviously 'up to nefarious...' i believe =^^= Certainly cheered me up.

And there are people here who make a fair chunk of cash for being ahem verified.

[A solution to the "Last Names" issue (Very long!)]

Hmmmm, well I'll adopt the simplest solution there and just address everyone by their UUID - simple, democratic, totally same format for everyone - problem solved =^^=

[Can someone copy your profile to make them look like you?]

Making a fairly convincing copy of any pictures/textures in anyones profile is trivial using a combination of screen shot/photo editor and then uploading them. In the past 6 months it has happened to someone in our community. In their case, the copiers life was even easier as the victim had only a first name (ie is a Resident) so all they did was create an account with one additional character. At first glance it was easy to miss that especially with a word for word copy of the profile text. In some ways you are luckier as your surname is a lot more difficult to spoof, hence the copyrats use of a display name. And yes it won't pass anything more than a casual inspection (rez date is indeed very hard to spoof but many people don't check these things)

Follow the advice here and file a report if it is causing you any harrassment - gather any evidence you can of course. Good luck

[Direct Delivery - death of the non-mesh viewers?]

Running SIngularity too and Received works fine. For messing about with uploading DD I'll just fire up the LL viewer as needed. No biggie =^^=

[SL and Firestorm viewers not even executing to open]

Also very curious as to what other software you have had up and operating on the system

[Massive teleport problems involving RC servers]

Well, my experience too recently is that TPs have not been any particular problem. I'm based on a Magnum sim and regularly TP over to all RCs and the main server for testing (mainland and off). Over the last week the only glitch I have had was from one main server sim to another and that was a one off from a sim that has been a bit flaky before. Otherwise, no problems.

[Help with XYText scripts.]

The functions used for XYText are supported in Opensim (as well as others) but yes the texture UUIDs themselves do not match. Several of the other grids have had replacement sets published (check the various forums for details). When I implemented my own versions of message boards I generated new character layouts to match as it gave me the ability to transport them.

[Bug trace SCR-15]

About given up with that one, I just work around it now. Makes for some clumsy kludges but....
