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!

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. ;-)

I can walk through my woods on a crisp October eve and feel what the Halloween tradition (as far as I know it) advertises. The world is a spooky place, full of mystery, surprise and delight. I'm happy to celebrate that... all year long. ;-)

Malanya wrote: Trin see, this is a perfect example of how these people act. It's ok for this troll to follow my threads around, twist my words and then start BS with other people, look how long this is going and now she is going after everyone LOL. THAT'S what amuses me and that's why I post my so called troll like behaviour back to them. You know the clique I refer to. It's so hypocritical for how they behave on here it's sad actually. Talk about a derail. I can connect the dots on here I am intelligent. I know everything btw in case you didn't get it in the first memo. Like you tell me, IGNORE. Her behavior proves my point without me saying any words. Look at all the posts she racked up and how she spoke to people because they either didn't agree with her or she found a sentence that may have pertained to M--L (that's my new name on here). Oh yeah I forgot, Maddy said that Celestiall will put someone on her radar. Pfffft. @Maddy, I think i know you are snugs and how many people go after you on this forum. Yeah, I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you. I never thought it did bother you period. I can certainly be bothered, but I take a deep breath, or count to ten, and it often passes. (Though it didn't pass when Dad told me to count to ten when I was angry. I was probably two at the time and could only count to five. So he was just peeving me, which is often the best way to get me to learn something.) Regarding "cliques", I take a nuanced view of them. I have friends here in the forums, and there's no doubt that those friendships will affect my discourse here. But I also have my own personal code of conduct (Snugs?) that (sometimes roughly) guides me. I will, as you might expect, find it easier to get along with people who's code resembles mine. In addition to that, I have a world view, and will find it easier to get along with people who share it, though I hope not to the exclusion of people who don't, as they're often the best teachers. So, when I am seen to be a member of a "clique", are people seeing me purposefully join hands with others in a show of solidarity, or am I simply reacting to my individual read on a situation? It's a complex calculus. When everybody runs screaming out of the water on a beach, are they a clique or are they responding to the shark fin out in the water? And the next time something like that happens, watch the people running off the beach. Only some of them will have seen the shark, others will have seen people fleeing and joined the flight (a very good subconscious strategy for survival), some will stand there saying "what's going on?" and yet another may believe it's a porpoise and yell "what the hell's wrong with all you people?" If you see a shark and Celestiall sees a porpoise, I don't jump to the conclusion that either of you are in cliques. But I might wonder which of you has correctly identified the creature. Only I know for sure. ;-) ETA: If there is something that bothers me, it's seeing friends and innocents (until proven guilty) being bothered. I like to see people happy and I'm frustrated by my inability to make that happen.
