Hi thrishia, Add your voice to the chorus of complaints by filing a Bug Report and opening a Support Case. That's what we've recommended to many others... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Everything-Else/How-can-I-stop-my-music-set-event-listing-being-tagged-as-an/qaq-p/2599140/comment-id/11156

Playing around with reflections...

4-9-2015 The discovery of a cache of handwritten letters, penned by Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, the first wife of Christopher Columbus, reveals that Columbus' mis-estimation of the Earth's diameter was probably a result of a chronic inability to judge either distance or time. Many of the letters from Filipa to her sister described Columbus' evening visits to the local pub, which he promised would last no more than two hours, as the pub was "just down the block". "Alas, dear Sister, my husband has once again set out for a short visit to the pub, with the promise to be home by nightfall. Many a time I have walked the nearly three hours to Guiseppe's to wake his alcohol infused corpse from its slumber under the bar. After more than two years of needing his shoes re-soled at the first of every month, you'd think he would come to understand the distance. Heaven help us all if he ever gets the notion to captain a ship."

Welcome to Second Life, Pam! Come back and edit your question to add more information (via "Options" over there on the right) so we have some idea what you've tried and what didn't work. Did you get an error message? If so, tell us. Teleports sometimes fail, particularly if you're going to a very crowded sim, such as an infohub. Try another destination, or be patient. You'll eventually get in. The Answers section of the forum is a technological embarassment. You may get better results posting a hello out in the General Discussion forum, where you can easily reply to others and get a good long conversation going. It can be a bit like the wild west there at times, but people are generally helpful. And, just to be sure... the enrollment process and this forum are website based, the virtual world of SL is not. It's a simulation that you access via an application for your computer called a "Viewer". If you haven't already done so, you can download a copy from here. And finally, here's some recommended reading... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Second-Life-Quickstart/ta-p/1087919 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Second-Life-User-s-Guide/ta-p/1244857 Good luck, have fun!

Thanks for the feathers, Val! I put 'em to good use... Good morning, Kids!!!

I long ago stopped wondering about such things. We're all nuts.

From the outside views in your pics, I was getting steady > 100fps (GTX 670, ultra+ALM+shadows, dd 270m rvlf 4.0). I guess it must be something else or a transient problem. Or did you change it back? Couldn't check inside because it told me to go away. Drongle, couldn't you just cam where you wanted to go?

Hi LenaLez, Read this... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Opening-boxes/ta-p/700185 Good luck!

Hi diosabonita0, You may be seeing a test transaction, during which Linden Lab verifies that your payment source is valid. Test transactions generally involved a transfer of $1USD, which is reversed upon success.

Hi finrod, The only way something can be "locked" is if RLV is enabled on your viewer. In Firestorm you enable/disable RLV from the Advanced Menu (Ctrl-Alt-D if you don't see that menu). Once you've re-logged, remove the things you don't want to wear. If you wish to continue using RLV, re-enable it and relog. You can also log in using the official SL viewer, which does not support RLV. Fix everything up, the return using your preferred viewer. Good luck!

Hi Mary, Mari's right about Lindens not getting involved. But, your inability to return items may be due to server problems... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Server/Inventory-issues-still-occurring/m-p/2603966 Good luck!

Hola lolascort , Como miembro de una prima , se obtiene una asignación de la tierra 512m2 que puede utilizar para una parcela vacante del continente, o una parcela con un Hogar-Linden en él. Si opta por vivir en el continente, a encontrar una parcela 512m2 que te gusta y lo compra. No habrá cargos adicionales , a menos que desee adquirir más tierras . El subsidio prim para una parcela 512m2 es de 117 prims . Hogares-Linden no cuentan para los límites de Prim, por lo que si usted vive en un Hogar-Linden , tiene 117 prims se puede utilizar para la decoración. Si usted compra una parcela continental su lugar, y compra una casa prim 50 , tendrá sólo 67 prims gratis para decorar . Si usted ya tiene un Hogar-Linden , asegúrese de que la abandona antes de la obtención de una parcela de tierra firme. Aquí está la información que te pueden interesar ... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Land/linden-home-vs-diy-mainland/qaq-p/1746353 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/tkb/articleprintpage/tkb-id/English_KB @ tkb/article-id/203 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-land/ta-p/700043 http://secondlife.com/land/pricing.php ¡Buena suerte!

Hi shohi, I think you mean you want to increase the maximum daily charge limit. The maximum buy/sell limits increase over time, after you perform your first transaction on the LindeX Exchange. You can request a review, it's all detailed on this page... https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/describe-limits.php?

Hi stoweo, See Rolig Loon's explanation here... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Account/Can-I-sell-lindens-if-it-says-0-or-do-I-gotta-go-to-my-account/qaq-p/2602280

Hi OpraChrsTenor, There is no adult option for groups. From... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Maturity-ratings/ta-p/700119 There's this... Groups tab The search system filters searches in the Groups tab the same way as in an Everything search. Groups can be marked as Moderate or left unchecked for non-Moderate groups. If a group's name or Group Charter uses adult keywords, the group appears only in Adult searches.
