Is every reason to think that the people what buy it off you did so out of pure nostalgia for the good old days. retrocool is the new black currently apparently. Cant get any more retro than prims out of alignment and library textures. Made only in a way that a wide-eye new person can ever manage (: so keep going (: + i dont mean this in a bad way. Is a innocence about new people who get into building things for the first time. It comes thru when you talk to them. Is infectious the joy of discovery. Is a wonderful innocence that comes thru to us who maybe a bit jaded these days and reminds us of when we was new ourself i get a sparkler off this new person recently. is very simple. Is the first thing they ever made. they were really proud and pleased of it. And so was I. both of them and what they made I hope you're pleased with making me feel foolish about raining on Splatulated's parade in my response! You are absolutely right, both in the particulars of this case (if it's working, keep on doing it) and in the larger picture. It's easy to understand why teachers love teaching. They get to relive their "ah hah!" moments every year as they peer into the vast unknown with a new crop of curious students, eager to explore. We can't return to our wide-eyed early days here, but we can thank the newbies for sharing their wonder and excitement with us. ;-).

Welcome to Second Life, Telling! I first came online in 1987, long before the Internet could handle voice. So I had a long history (read habit) of of text chatting with people from all over the world before coming to SL. Because I have ample time to compose my thoughts as I type, I've managed to convince people I'm reasonably intelligent. That's been much more difficult (read impossible) in RL, where I sometimes can't think quickly enough to impress. Two minutes at Ahern with voice enabled will prove to you that I'm not the only person for whom this is true. I've never had a friend ask me to voice verify, and I never will. I have, in fact, had a friend reveal their RL identity to me, then ask that we never voice chat. He, like me, was afraid that we'd pierce the little veil of imagination, as when your favorite swoonable, smooth, deep voiced radio DJ appears on TV and you see the glasses held together with duct tape. The fella you met did you a favor by outing his intentions and insecurity before you invested a lot of time in him. Be thankful! ;-).

Hi Jessie, If you have particle generators on your parcel, it's possible you are experiencing a known bug in the particle system. Here's the JIRA (bug report) page for this issue... https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-3961 To determine if this is the cause, set Preferences->Graphics->Max. particle count to zero. The fire should stop. If the problem persists after doing that, I'm going to go with Lindal's oil spill theory. Good luck! ;-).

Hi ARIANIS, It is not possible to pre-select a Linden Homes. There are four themed communities to choose from, but you cannot chose the particular house you get in each community. You can change homes up to five times per day, so if you don't like the one you get, you can abandon it and choose another. You needn't be a premium member to purchase or visit parcels on the mainland. So, before becoming a Premium Member, you can wander around to see what 512m2 parcels are available. If you find a parcel you like, you can then become a Premium Member and purchase it. Be aware that someone else might buy the land before you can become a Premium Member to purchase it. Here are some helpful web pages... Knowledge Base - Linden Homes Knowledge Base - Buying Land Purchasing Land Knowledge Base - Premium Membership Happy Hunting!

Hi Diana, Go here... https://secondlife.com/my/account/partners.php?lang=en-US Check the box and click "Submit". The dissolution will cost L$25. That's about L$1,000,000 less than it cost me in RL. Good luck!

Thomas Galbreus wrote: I find it strange that more people use a platform for passive consumption of 2D clips than an interactive 3D world. Thomas! You shouldn't be surprised by this at all. People generally prefer passive activities (Oh, I do love a good oxymoron). Obesity and diabetes are on the rise in the developed world because we'd rather sit and eat processed food than exercise and cook from scratch. That said, we are social creatures, so if you can maximize human interaction while minimizing effort, you win. I think that explains Facebook's and Linden Lab's relative market capitalizations.

This happens maybe a few times a year. I never think about it because other bigger frustrations happen much more often than that! And call me Maddy, I can't spell Madelaine. ;-)

Hi Mia, If the button has gone missing, follow Rolig's advice. If it is the mini-map window that has vanished, and not the mini-map toolbar button, go here for instructions on recovering the lost window... http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/missing_windows Not shown in that list of window names are: floater_pos_mini_map_x floater_pos_mini_map_y Follow the instructions on the page I linked, using the mini_map_x/y window names. Good luck!

Hi Russell, Preferencias->General->Idioma Select English. You'll see a Spanish message telling you the change will be applied upon restart. Click "Cerrar". Quite the viewer and relaunch it. The Preferences (Preferencias) menu is available from the log-in screen, you needn't go in-world to make the language change. Good luck!

Hi Ronda, Links are indirect references to items in your inventory. They allow you to share no-copy items across multiple outfits, and are handier than replicating copy items into your outfits because a change to the original item propagates to all the links. Links can break for several reasons. You may have purchased something that was removed by Linden Lab because of a DMCA takedown request from the original copyright holder. The Lab often replaces those items with placeholders. It may also be that you deleted something you didn't think you wanted anymore, but was included in one or more outfits. I, of course, have never, ever, ever, ever done that. Not even once. ;-). Here's an explanation of links... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-your-inventory/ta-p/1370823#Section_.4 It's possible your local copy of the inventory list has been corrupted, though I don't know if that would cause false broken link messages. You can force a rebuilt of the local inventory list by clearing the old one from cache. Here's how to do that... http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear After clearing cache, restart the viewer and log-in to a quiet sim like Smith or Pooley, then wait for the inventory list to rebuild. Don't do anything while you're waiting. In particular, do not teleport anywhere. Good luck!

Hi Ziva, Although Freya is right about green links showing friends who've given you map permissions, I sometimes (not very often) have a friend in my list showing in green who has NOT given me map permissions (I've seen my alt in that list at a time I wasn't logged in). Clicking on their name takes me to the map page and points me to Ahern, which is a welcome hub. The next time you see one of your friends showing in minty green, click their name. You'll be taken to maps.secondlife.com. Once there, right click on the "Visit this location" link in the map marker and select "Copy link" (or whatever it says on your computer, I use a Mac). Then go to your browser's address bar and paste the SLURL. If it says "secondlife://AHERN/0/0/0" you're experiencing the glitch I've seen. Otherwise, it's as Freya says and the SLURL is showing you where your friend is.

You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to help.

Find that person's name in the list of speaker,s, click on it, then click on the speaker icon at the bottom of the floater to block their voice. the green dot next to their name will turn into a red circled bar. ty this worked ^-^ sliding left = silence and sliding right = alien godzilla and 50% = normal And now I know a way to do this!

Move the "Voice Chat" slider all the way to the left. You might also find these audio controls on the far right end of the menu bar, in the form of a little speaker icon. There you'll want the "Voice" slider all the way to the left. i dotn want to mute all mics just the mic of 1 person related to this it was really upsetting to listen to it and being un able to do anything i dont want stop being their friend because of it but i also dont want to have to hear it again :c Muting audio is all-or-nothing. Muting a person is all-or-nothing. I don't know of a way to mute the audio of only one person.

Hi LadyAvalon. Come back to your question and edit it as Sven suggests (via "Options" over there on the right) to tell us more about this shaking. The only shaking I've experienced has been when in a confined space that causes my camera to collide with structure walls and/or ceilings. Moving out of the area stops the shaking. I've also read of shaking being caused by certain sculpty/mesh attachments. Removing them eliminates the shaking. You might have your friend carefully scan his/her list of worn items for prim attachments, then remove them one by one until the shaking stops. Good luck!

Thomas Galbreus wrote: I haven't heard it before; is there a specific service provider who's users get stigmatised in the public eye for alleged frequent behaviour like that? Nope, and I don't think SL users get stigmatized either. If they do, there are 12,000+ ( just checked here) people a day willing to accept the stigma.

Good Morning, Hippie! Happy Monday, Kids!!!

Thomas Galbreus wrote: Madelaine McMasters wrote: Your argument parallels that of "sexting". The nature and availablity of text messaging makes sexting seem inevitable, doesn't it? Would you advocate companies taking measures to prevent sexual content in text messages? In Germany providers should either prohibit pornographic content in the TOS or implement a rigid age verification. I don't see a difference between pictures, videos, animations or text. If the service consits only of text messaging between usually two people and lacks public chat rooms, the problem that the service may become stigmatised when too permissive seems less likely because the public may not notice what's going on. If the publc hasn't noticed what's going on, why is "sexting" in the lexicon?

Hi Splatulated, Though I wasn't able to build anything like that after less than a week in SL, I wonder if it will be worth your effort to sell that table. It appears to be made of simple prims, the way I still make things. From the look of it, I'll guess it's got a land impact of 10, or less if you set the physics to "None" or "Convex Hull" before linking. Mesh now allows more knowledgeable creators than you or I to make more complicated tables with a land impact of one. I don't like to rain on anyone's parade, but with one product and an (understandable) aversion to credit cards, I don't see a way for you to start a store. I create for the sheer joy of it, and give my creations away to my friends. You might try the same. Good luck... and welcome to Second Life!

Pamela Galli wrote: Easy, just go someplace and wear the table. Then when people ask about it you can tell them it is for sale and the price. Pamela, did you get up on the wrong side of bed this morning? Snark doesn't look good on you.

Hi Teal, A similar issue has come up before. At that time it was caused by some anti-virus thingy called Webroot. Here's the thread discussing it... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Viewer/Can-t-Copy-and-Paste/m-p/2219281 This may not be your issue, but it's all I have. Good luck!

Splatulated wrote: Pamela Galli wrote: Oh sure. Just request the audio log from LL (along with the time and date) then send it to the police in the town the "kid" lives in, along with his RL name. The police can find his address and parents' names. The police would need to get an expert to verify that the voices on the audio log were in fact that of the kid and his parents, and the kid would need to testify that his parents did in fact beat him. Isn't the fantasy world of SL wonderful! unsure if being serious or not :c I don't think it makes a difference whether Pamela is serious or not. Linden Lab does not log audio. I realize that what you heard was distressing to you, but there's no way for you to know if it was real or an act, nor to identify anyone involved. The police would need far more substantial evidence to act, and you're unable to provide that.
