Hey Hippie, here's approximately what I did today... Hi, Kids!!!

But, what do we know? ;-) Speaking of solutions...... Please find in this new version of the SL V3 Viewer some long awaited GPU Table Updates. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Release/3.6.9.282553 Good Testing to you all. P.S. The SL Share feature is has been merged into this release as well. If this fixes your issue iceing feel free to complain about how long it took to get this. KarenMichelle, I downloaded the latest update this morning, minutes after you announced it in this thread, just in case the GTX7XX family was included in the gpu table. The table still tops out GTX690. If there were updates to the table, they didn't address iceing's complaint (not that an entry in the table is needed for the card to work). It's possible the PC/Linux versions of the download have a different gpu_table.txt, I'm on a Mac.

I really need to upgrade. grumble grumble grumble That 780M (benchmark of 4262) will be in my possession for only another week, it belongs to the neighbor kid. I'll continue to suffer with my 680MX (4372), which actually benchmarks 2.6% faster. You have my sympathy. The first machine I ever used for SL had An ATI x1600 mobile (92). I gave that to Snugs, who gets 15fps on low. My 680MX does 45fps on mid. Not as much of an improvement as you might expect for a benchmark score 48X higher. Your 9500 gets 290! That said, you really can't get the full measure of my cuteness with a 9500, I look forward to you looking forward to looking at me through your upgrade.

If that's true, how do you explain that I am, at this very moment, balancing on the ottoman in my SL home, using a new computer containing an nVIDIA GT780M? And how do you explain that I routinely run SL on a ten month old computer with a GT680MX? My experience with both computers is pleasant, barring the usual SL annoyances. My ottoman is currently invisible, and if it doesn't show itself soon, I'll have to right click it. I suppose you could argue that LL put in that devilish script, but couldn't make it work, but don't conspiracy theories usually depend on the conspirators being smart? Why posit a theory requiring both malice and stupidity when benign neglect is enough to explain the staleness of the System Requirements webpage? You participated in a GTX780 thread over a month ago, in which (had you read it) you'd have discovered there's a "gpu_table.txt" used by the viewer to determine what level of compatibility various GPU cards provide. The LL version of that file goes up to GTX690 only, but the Firestorm variant of the table goes all the way to GTX780. You can copy that file from the Firestorm viewer to the LL viewer if you wish, though a card needn't be listed in the table to work properly. So, you were presented with evidence that the viewers support cards much more recent than the 2XX family, but apparently chose to ignore it. There are numerous reasons a PC might not correctly run an SL viewer, many of which have nothing to do directly with the viewer itself, but rather network issues, install/deinstall problems, file corruption etc. It is possible that your theory is correct and I, like Bobbie, know nothing. But I am happy to continue with my potential delusion, as it seems to agree with the physical evidence and makes me happier than your potential delusion makes you. Or, you can give us more information about the issues that vex you and see if someone hasn't got a solution. But, what do we know? ;-)

Hiya Miss Petra, For importing images from your PC into your SL inventory, Rolig's advice applies. If you are having difficulty uploading an image from your PC to your profile page, it may be that Singularity's internal web browser is at fault. Using your standard web browser, go here and log-in... https://my.secondlife.com/subshepetra Click on your name at the top left and then click "Edit Profile" and then "Real World Profile Picture". You should get a "Choose File" button. Click that, browse to the image you wish to upload, then click "Choose" and then click "Upload" and be patient. This often takes a few seconds for me. Some people have complained of SL web issues when using Internet Explorer, so if this doesn't work, you might try Firefox or Chrome. Good luck!

Yay! To be sure that's the correct settings file, create a new windlight setting file and then immediately save it with a file name you can't miss. That should contain the same settings as the file you wanted, because you haven't changed anything. Then examinethe LL Viewer folder again. You should see a file with the name you just used and a created date/time of now. And as I ETA'ed into my last post, call me Maddy! ETA: You should also be able to save the existing setting, perhaps after making and then unmaking a change. The creation date/time of the file you found should change to now.

Pamela, Are you looking in your User Library folder? You get to that via the "Go" menu (you have to hold down the "Option" key to see it in Mountain Lion and maybe Lion too). This is not the same as the System Library folder that shows up when you browse your main HD. ETA: Call me Maddy, Madelaine takes too long for me to read. ;-)

Arianna, If you transferred the cats to your landlord, there's not much you can do to get them back, other than to ask. If you rezzed them and are, for some reason, unable to visit the sim to take them back, you may have to wait for the landlord to tire of them wandering around and delete them. They'll turn up in your Lost and Found folder when that happens. If you are able to access the sim, you should be able to take them back into inventory. If I've misunderstood your question, provide more information by editing it via "Options" over there on the right. Good luck!

Alisiea, That job posting is five months old and may no longer be open. On the bright side, nobody else responded. Your best bet is to search in-world for Setsuna01 and send him/her an IM (you'll need to learn how to do that anyway, so here's your first test ;-). You can also search for the "Tama Okiya" venue, but don't be surprised if it no longer exists. SL venues turn over rapidly. Good luck!

Heragon, Selon la description du marché, que Avatar est livré par "Magic Box". Magie boîtes ne fonctionnent plus. Ce point ne devrait pas être sur le marché. Peut-être que le créateur n'est plus dans SL? According to the description in Marketplace, that Avatar is delivered by "Magic Box". Magic boxes no longer work. That item should not be in the marketplace. Maybe the creator is no longer in SL? --||-

I just made a new sky setting in Firestorm and saved it with the name NewWindlight. It showed up here... Library->Application Support->Firestorm->user settings->windlight->skies->NewWindlight.xml Try replacing Firestorm with Singularity and following the same trail. ETA: I'm loading Singularity right now. I'll try the same thing in a few minutes. ETA2: I saved a Singularity sky preset as NewWindlight2 and found it here... Library->Application Support->SecondLife->user_settings->windlight->skies->NewWindlight2.xml

Peter's recommendations are spot on, and here's how I've done it in the past... default { state_entry() { llParticleSystem([ PSYS_PART_FLAGS, PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_DROP, PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 1, PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 1, PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <1,1,1>, PSYS_PART_END_COLOR, <1,1,1>, PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <1,1,1>, PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <1,1,1>, PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, 30, PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE, 0, PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0,0,0>, PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN, 0, PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END, 0, PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT, 1, PSYS_SRC_BURST_RADIUS, 0, PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE, 29, PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN, 0, PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX, 0, PSYS_SRC_OMEGA, <0,0,0>, PSYS_SRC_TEXTURE, llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, 0) ]); }} You must be careful about your choice of particle texture. Anything with translucency (a pixel alpha value that's not zero or 255) will reveal the trick, as at the 29 second mark, you'll have two copies of the texture overlaying each other. The result will be that, for one second, the translucent pixels will be twice was opaque as for the other 29. You may not notice this around the antialiased edges of an opaque thing on a transparent background, but it'll be very obvious for almost anything else. ETA: Internal upscaling of low resolution textures might exacerbate this effect.

Netrino, I know the proprietors of Skinny Dip Inn and I don't believe they'd ban without good cause. If your priorities are such that donning genitals comes before learning the mechanics and etiquette of the new world you've entered, I believe you'll continue to have this kind of response. Slow down, learn how SL works, take the temperature of a place before dipping in and I believe you'll get a better reception.

For that, I'll have to chew up a few calendars.

Hi Bebejee, Everything is still there, it's just that your local cache of the inventory list is probably corrupt. To fix that you'll need to clear your local cache, relog and wait for the local list to rebuild. Here are instructions from Rolig Loon... Chances are pretty good that your locally cached inventory has been damaged or maybe overwritten by other programs on your computer. So rebuild it. Do it the right way, using the "manual" process described here >>>http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear Those instructions were written for Firestorm users but they work for any viewer. The most important part is the line that says, "While inventory repopulates, do not teleport anywhere, and do not attempt to access anything in your inventory." Be patient. Go make a sandwich or a cup of coffee. Good luck!

I'll return 'em after I take a li'l joy-ride.

Hi Fergie, Is this a recent problem on the laptop? If so, try to think of any changes you've made, like moving to a different room that's farther from your wi-fi router (if you use wi-fi). It's possible your phone now has a better internet connection than your laptop. People have complained of issues on the SL website when using Internet Explorer, so if you've recently switched to that browser, try switching back. If you'd like to expand on your question, or respond, come back and edit it via "Options" over there on the right. This will keep all our dialog in one place and prevent additional questions from pushing others off the front page. Good luck!

hi Cailee, Your question is a repeat of one you've already asked, and for which you've gotten recommendations that I don't believe you have yet followed. You do not have an in-world profile, so you have not yet launched your SL viewer, accepted the Terms of Service and actually logged into Second Life. Until you do that, your computer has no way of knowing that there is an application present (SL Viewer) that can handle SLURL address redirections from Firefox. So, you must launch the viewer you downloaded, accept the Terms of Service, and log in with your usename and password. Here's your original question and the advice given... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Account/Firefox-wont-let-me-on/qaq-p/2254929 If you continue to have problems, come back to this question and update it via "Options" over there on the right. Every time you ask this question, you split up our responses to you and push other people's questions off the front page. Good luck!

Hi MayLynn, Just so I won't be accused of griefing by making up my own definition of griefing, here's what Wikipedia has to say... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griefer ;-)

Don't you live where the Druids once danced around a fire in the woods, telling scary stories? What could be more fun than that, except maybe doing it all while wearing a cozy bumblebee costume, complete with springy antennae? Actually, I grew-up near Stonehenge :-) I visited Stonehenge a dozen years ago, wearing a skirt. Did you notice that the wind blows straight up out of the ground there? I finally gave up and sat down in the grass. Then I went to Bath and paid perfectly good money for a glass of water I had to wash down with a pint of beer. But... the chicken fajitas I had in Canterbury were yummy. ;-)
