Hallo Sandra, Sie haben wahrscheinlich keine Produkte verloren. Die lokale Kopie der Inventarliste ist moglicherweise beschädigt. Um das zu beheben, loschen Sie den Cache, melden Sie sich ab und dann wieder zu einem ruhigen sim wie "Smith" oder "Pooley" und warten auf die Inventarliste, um wieder aufzubauen. Bis nach der Liste hat den Wiederaufbau abgeschlossen teleportieren Sie nicht. Dies kann mehrere Minuten dauern. Hier ist eine Seite, die mit "Inventory Loss" beschäftigt ... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Inventory_loss Befolgen Sie die Anweisungen fur die erste der "Common Solutions", "Clearing Second Life's cache". Viel Gluck!

As for getting off buses while they're still moving, why would you ever do otherwise here? ;-). ETA: Amethyst's post reminded me that I'd neglected the growth side of my time in SL. Yes, half my landmarks are dead ends and I don't see many of the friends I made long ago. But, after one year here my friends list had less than ten people on it. Now it's over one hundred. I still chat with only a handful on a regular basis, but I know many more. The SL population is higher now than when I started and there's just as much or more to do. And while all of this was happening, or not happening, Facebook and countless other social networking platforms took entertainment hours from everybody. Similarly, in RL there are countless new stores in or near my town, and my circle of acquaintances now spans the world, not just my little bit of Wisconsin. Seasons change and so did I. You need not wonder why.

Jeffrey has misinformed you, Mac. You broke no law by posting the e-mail here. And if you should decide to respond, make sure it's via the sender's e-mail address and not via any link in the e-mail (though again, I don't see one).

Congratulations, Des! You change your display name in your profile.

You know they're having fun, but you can't catch them at it. ;-). Oh my. I guess it's like the religous people who want to stamp out sin, when it's really them who's doing all the bad stuff. (I'm referring to one of the posters in this thread) Amazing that the small country of Germany has that high percent of world-wide porn consumption. Yet...they restrict it to minors...so surely all that porn is being looked at by adults. ; ) Yep. Cats are hard to explain though. They don't give a damn what we think, yet they still frollick out of sight (though not out of earshot). That just makes no sense to me. Meanwhile those eager to please dogs have at it right in the middle of the Fourth of July picnic. Stop it, stop it, stop it! Ain't nature grand? ;-).

Celestiall Nightfire wrote: Maddy the science lectures I invited you to were the fabulous MICA series! (Meta Institute for cCmputational Astrophysics) and they were more like entertaining science talks, than lectures. We had large turn out each Sat morning for them, and very enjoyable. Yeah, you're right. They were very entertaining science talks. I recall enjoying both the subject matter and the passion of the speakers. This is what has hooked me, and no doubt you, on NPR shows like Science Friday and Radio Lab. There's nothing more enjoyable than watching (or hearing) curious people sharing what they love. I loved the nutty appearance of the visitors to the Science Friday sim during the show. I recall sitting at a show between a wolf wearing a tiara and a robot with bug eyes and a top hat. Unfortunately, local chat was awash in off-topic banter. It was amusing to watch all the nonsense fly by, imagining the struggle of Ira's SL staffer to get one good question to be read on the air. If and when I finally get some spare time to spend in SL, I'll come looking for you. It's been my experience that the most curious people are also the most curious people. ;-).

I don't even know that these 10 police officers actually exist, let alone that they've got as far as arresting anyone. Neither do you. You think you remember reading about them somewhere, which is hardly conclusive proof of anything much. Let me rephrase it, though. As far as you know, these ten police officers, assuming they actually exist and are still pursuing their enquiries in SL, have yet to make a single arrest, let alone see anyone convicted as a result of their efforts. Is that an accurate statement of the situation, to the best of your knowledge? Imagine how many officers are patrolling YouTube and Craigslist.

Hi Mac, I can think of three explanations: Linden Lab's servers messed up or glitched. If it was a glitch, this may never happen again. If it's an erroneous entry in the database, you may start seeing more confirmation e-mails. Roxanne goofed up her e-mail address when registering. That's unlikely, as you'd have got a series of welcome e-mails. I'm not sure if a confirmation e-mail is sent when changing addresses on an existing account. If so, you'd have received that. Eventually she may notice the dearth of e-mails and check her account. This is a ham handed phishing attempt. I don't see a link in the text you copied, so this seems unlikely. Check the sending address (not the sender's name) to make sure it originates from secondlife.com. I don't think I'd do anything until I got another message. Then I might open a support case. Good luck!

She talks about all of the fun things to do and meeting her RL husband in SL.. By the way.. the quote you decided to use as ammo.. Yeah, that was a quote from the first story you quoted.. The second one was a positive message about SL. No, mentioning this shift from lectures etc. to sex clubs etc. is not from an older article, the only quote from that is the expression "strange second life". And the reporter is speaking here, she has not met her husband in SL. The reporter is interviewing a woman named Judy who has nothing but good things to say about SL.. How is that a negative article? BTW, Judy met her RL husband in SL.. Reading comprehension goes a long way. ETA... when was SL all about lectures? I have been here for 8 years, I don't remember any lectures. I attended NPR Science Friday discussions years ago (they've since left because the audience signal-to-noise ratio was horriffic, and Celestiall often invited me to science lectures, though I don't recall who hosted them. I've never been fond of lectures, I prefer to read, but SL lectures are better than RL lectures, because I can paint my nails during them. Though I admit I never tried doing that in RL, so I might be giving RL lectures a bum rap.

Hi Stormy, I'd be very suspicious about any e-mail from LL (or anyone else) asking for RL information. In addition to Lindal's great suggestions about embedded links in the e-mail, you can also verify the sender's address. If your e-mail viewer provides a "View All Headers" type of function, you can see if the e-mail originated from a server at secondlife.com. In Yahoo mail, you can hover over the sender's name and their e-mail address will pop-up. Even if the sender's address appeared valid, I'd be hesitant to reply. If you do feel you should reply, ask them to IM you in-world from a Linden account, or provide some other proof of identity. Be careful!

Now there was a place for interesting conversations and an eclectic mix of folk. ) The Forum Cartel is still around, Mari. Vandris, look up Hippie Bowman in-world. You'll find The Breakfast Club and The Forum Cartel groups in his profile. Join both/either and you'll find yourself amongst interesting people.

Ooooh, I'd forgotten about mirror water! And that method is double fun. Who doesn't like walking on walls?

I don't think he would stoop this low. Writing like a child would be just too far beneath his dignity. Though thinking like a child was not. I do that too. ;-). ETA: Some of the questions posed by Splatulated are still interesting, even if they've been asked many times before.

You can fake a mirror: sit and move the camera to look at you from the mirror image position :smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy: You can also fake a shiny floor by duplicating the walls and objects in the room, flipping the copies upside down below the floor, then giving the floor a little transparency. Many years ago, I visited a store that had done this. The effect was very nice, and a bit ghostly, as avatars were not "reflected" in the floor.

The lake is still frigid, but I can't wait any longer to take out my kayak. If you see me shivering during the next week, you'll know why... Happy Monday, Kids!!!

Hi peggyuo, We're residents, just like you. The Lindens never visit the Answers forum. Try calling the billing department at 800-294-1067? Good luck!

Hi WinterKyst, There's nothing for me to add to Mari's explanation of banning. But I am curious about your "black hood" comment. You say your friend can't rez, and does not see a black hood on his head. If he hasn't rezzed, I imagine he's not seeing anything. If his failure to rez appears to be the result of your experience being ejected and banned from the store, it's possible that your friend was wearing something that was griefing the place you two visited. That same thing may be preventing him from rezzing properly now. But all this is conjecture on my part. We'd need more information from you to offer any sensible advice. Come back to your question and edit it (via "Options" over there on the right) to tell us more about your friend's inability to rez, and this black hood he's expecting to see. Good luck!

Hi Ford, Unfortunately the discount expired at 8AM PDT (which is SLT), just about the time you posted. Don't ask me why Linden Lab chose a time other than midnight. But, should they offer the discount again, the free Linden Home would be included.

Hi Melissaa, I'd place the tattoo image on a small prim that you attach. Pick a prim type, cube, cylinder, or sphere, from which you can cut away a surface section that roughly matches the contour of the small area of skin you're covering. Make the entire prim transparent except the face on which the tattoo goes. Apply your tattoo texture to that remaining visible face. The texture should fill the image area you're using, and you'll pick an upload size that yields the resolution you desire. Once you've textured the object, attach it to the body part to be tattooed and position it so the textured surface is just above the skin. This isn't a perfect solution, but I've used it successfully. Good luck!

Hi Marquis, In addition to Lindal's suggestion, if you are using the Firestorm viewer you might try locating the source of the light (I agree with her that a light is the most likely explanation for your green color cast). Right click it and select Derender. This will remove only the thing containing the offending light source, not all local lights. To make it easier to find light sources, select "World->Show More->Beacons" then check "Bounding boxes for lights in scene". Local light sources will then highlight in aqua with wireframe bounding boxes. If you want the derender to be permanent, select "Derender + Blacklist". Good luck! ETA: if the green cast is caused by particles as Rolig suggests, check "Particle sources" in the beacon window, find the particle generator and derender it. If you are able to right click on a particle, you can select "Block particle owner".

I'm agreed. As a nefarious alpha female, I'm going get where I want to go. But, I don't like confrontation. So, rather than bulldoze, I tunnel. My endorphin rush comes from being with someone who's happy to toss me the keys to her Cat and let me run amok. My goal is the same as anyone in a healthy relationship, to please my partner. But I must be allowed to believe I'm driving. It's deliriously fun to be with someone who enjoys that conceit. I may be at the controls, but my partner provides the power.

:-).

Now that's thinking inside the ball! I'm gonna add you to my "people to call for fun ideas" list.
