Concerning the default for the 'Everyone' role, there's already SVC-378. There are also some interesting issues linked as 'related'. I'm quite sure I've also seen issues filed about the double (or otherwise too high) charging of groups, but can't seem to locate them just now (or at least not any recent ones.)

You might be referring to the following:
(Can't find the relevant links right now, so this is just from my memory)
Linden Lab has taken some login servers offline. A month or so before doing that, they took them out of the "pool" of servers that get login requests assigned from the load distribution system (that's how you usually access SL). So the only way to reach them, was to accessed them directly (e.g., by typing their IP address, or hard coding it in a bot software). During this period, Linden Lab recorded who accessed these servers, so they could email those Residents and tell them to use other servers instead (or to use the load distribution system, which knows what login servers are supposed to be still online and can assign you one of those).
The accounts aren't kept on the login servers, but in a central database, so this shouldn't affect what accounts can log in and what can't.

What do you mean by "loosing" an Avatar? Being locked out of an account? Appearance not loading? Missing Inventory?

It says I need to download the latest version
As long as the chosen old, unsupported Viewer is still compatible to the current server version (as is currently the case for 1.22) you can work around that by following http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Old_versions#Setting_the_channel_version
Note that when your viewer is too old and you use a custom channel, you won't get warned about that, either. Things might silently fail or just not work at all. So when 1.22 still doesn't run well enough, it might be worth to try one of the open source forks which maintain viewers with the old (pre-windlight) rendering system (e.g. the "legacy renderer" variant of the Cool SL Viewer), while keeping them otherwise up to date, especially protocol-wise, so they stay compatible to the servers.
Of course you should only run Viewers (or any computer application, for that matter) either compiled by someone you trust or compiled by yourself from sources which have been reviewed (by yourself or someone you trust).

Um ... to add to the general confusion ... wasn't the union set of "Age Verified", "Payment Info on File", "Payment Info Used" and "Payment Info on XStreetSL" (i.e. the set of everyone who has at least one of the listed properties) called "Account Verified" rather than "Adult Verified"?
-
If you have a one button mouse, just use CMD-click whenever SL expects a right-click. See e.g. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Technical_issues_with_Mac_OS_X#One-button_Mouse

Wer solche Angebote sehen will, miterleben will, kaufen will, der muss durch die Altersverifikation und einen Nachweis führen, dass man über 18 ist.
Das stimmt nicht ganz. Das Kundenkonto (dein Avatar), muss lediglich als "verified account" gelten. Als "verified account" gelten alle Kundenkonten, die mindestens eine der folgenden Bedingungen erfüllen:
- Payment Info On File
- Payment Info Used
- Age verified (durch die oben genannte Altersüberprüfung)
In die erste Kategorie kommt man, wenn man seine Zahlungsinformationen auf https://secondlife.com/account/billing.php eingibt, in die zweite, wenn man sie dann z.B. verwendet um Linden Dollars zu kaufen. Siehe dazu auch https://blogs.secondlife.com/thread/1186#4104 (auf Engl.)

I was thinking more of an password forgotten scenario than of compromised accounts. I'm not yet sure whether it's a major flaw that the same information is used for simple password retrieval and to prove that one's the rightful owner of a potentially compromised account.
The choice of questions is quite limited and most of them have answers easy to guess (or even know) for people knowing you in real life. So for some, the only save option might be to provide a bogus answer.

I don't think this setting is accessable directly via LSL. Though, you could write a LSL script which gives commands to a bot who's able to change the setting.

Nanu? Lassen sich Antworten noch verändern, nachdem sie bewertet wurden? Macht das ganze etwas unsinning ...
Zur Frage:
- Registrieren kann man sich auf https://join.secondlife.com/?lang=de-DE
- Wenn du hier Fragen posten kannst, hast du das vermutlich schon gemacht
- Falls du die client-Software (den "Second Life Viewer") noch nicht heruntergeladen hast (Dowload sollte automatisch starten, wenn du deine email-Adresse per Link verifizierst), kannst du sie auf http://get.secondlife.com holen.
- Installieren, Programm starten, einloggen ... und es kann los gehen!
- Wenn du keine Community-Startposition landest du vermutlich auf einer Help Island.
- Das ist ein geschützter Bereich, in den man nicht mehr zurückkehren kann, wenn man ihn mal verlassen hat. So können sich neue Benutzer ungestört und in Ruhe mit Second Life und der Bedienung des Viewers vertraut machen. Wenn du dort einen "Second Life Mentor" findest: das sind erfahrene Benutzer, die dort sind, um den neuen zu helfen.
- Willst du die Help Island verlassen, um dir das restliche Second Life anzsehen, benötigst du eine "Landmark". Um eine zu erhalten, click auf eines der "Enter Second Life"-Schilder, akzeptiere die "Landmark" und verwende sie um zu teleportieren.
- Ich empfehle, am Anfang (sei es auf Help Island oder woanders) das eingebaute Tutorial anzusehen. Das Fenster sollte beim ersten Einloggen automatisch öffnen. Wenn du es geschlossen hast, kannst du es über Menü Hilfe > Tutorial jederzeit wieder holen.

You can acces to adult content if :
1) you are age verified.
OR
2) you have paiement info used/on file with LindenLab or XstreetSL.

Seems to be correct.
Also, any rumors that there's a third way to get veryfied, couldn't be confirmed, yet. ;-)

There doesn't appear to be any way of changing it from the account pages. Only your password, email address, and billing information can be changed.
Because nobody else answered and because I can't find any way to do it, either (that's why I asked), I'll just assume this is correct.

I don't remember ever having created a security question lol
.It's still on the form: https://join.secondlife.com/
If you weren't asked to set one, I guess you've subscribed via a third party using LL's RegAPI, like e.g. http://slregapi.com/mainframe/register.php
This is another reason why it'd be good to be able to (re)set the question and answer later, so I'll probably file a feature request about this.

For the case I should forget my password, can I set a new security question
Ooops, this is probably unclear. I mean, "Can I set a new security question now, to be prepared for the case that I might forget my password later?". (Being able to (re)set the security question without loggin in of course wouldn't make a lot of sense, security wise)
-
I do know the password to my account, so I can log in. However I've forgotten the answer I chose for the security question at sign up. For the case I should forget my password, can I set a new security question and answer which I will remember? If so, how?

Just found https://blogs.secondlife.com/message/3043#3043, so this seems to be correct. :-)

Man sollte vielleicht noch erwähnen, daß es erlaubt ist, mehrere Second-Life-Accounts zu haben. (Es gab 'mal eine Einschränkung von 5 pro Haushalt, aber ich weiß nicht, ob die noch gilt.) Du kannst also einfach einen neuen Account mit dem gewünschten Namen erstellen. (Das funktioniert natürlich nur, wenn der gewünschte Name auch verfügbar ist.)
Deine L$-Guthaben kannst du problemlos auf den neuen Account übertragen, ebenso weitergebbare ("transferable") Dinge in deinem Inventar. Alles, was "non-transferable" ist, kannst du leider nur über deinen bisherigen Account nutzen (oder musst es für deinen neuen Account nochmals kaufen). Freundschaften und Gruppen-Mitgliedschaften musst du, wenn du auf dem neuen Account diesselben haben willst, einzeln neu beantragen. Auch Account-Eigenschaften wie "Payment Info on File" (Zahlungsinformationen vorhanden) oder "Age verified" (Volljährigkeit überprüft) müssen, falls gewünscht, neu erworben werden.
Edit:
Falls du Englisch lesen kannst, diesselbe Frage wurde schon hier beantwortet: https://blogs.secondlife.com/message/2093#2093

How many places are there?
What would you count as one 'place'? A region? A parcel?
To get an overview over the land masses of Second Life, just see yourself (I wouldn't try to count them this way, though):
- View the map:
- If inworld, click the 'Map' button at the lower end of the screen or press ctrl-m
- alternatively, surf to http://maps.secondlife.com
- Zoom all the way out:
- using your scroll wheel
- or the sliders or / buttons

If you are worried about third party sites, getting the driver from your card manufacturer isn't too difficult, either. You mentioned you have a ATi card, so
Good luck!
