I distinctly remember that in the past, if I joined two parcels, the resulting combined parcel inherited the ban list of the last parcel selected. Today, I was combining parcels, and that did not work. I tried it the other way around, and it still did not work. The combined parcel had an empty ban list no matter what the order of selection of the parcels was. Is there any way I can make a parcel that is the result of combining parcels inherit the ban list of one of the ones that was combined to make it?

newbie Method of payment for Premium membership
Jennifer Boyle replied to Bazzilla's topic in General Discussion Forum
I'm in the US. Several years ago, I used a Mastercard prepaid debit card that was not connected to a bank account as my SL payment method without problems. -
No matter what i do, my avatars always look like this...

How does it work if the parcel is owned by a group? -
Yep. That's why I've lived in Zindra since 2009. I have liberty to do whatever I want without worrying about violating rules. 99% of my behavior would be fine in an M region, and most would be fine in a G region, but I don't have to think about it.

If she chose "Apply To Parcel" instead of "Apply Only To Myself," would the setting apply to everyone while they were on that parcel? -
I had cable until a couple of years ago when I got AT&T fiber. The problem I had with Comcast cable was that it would just stop working for several seconds a few times per day. Fiber is faster, but cable was fast enough. As a bonus, I can get lightning-fast downloads if the site is fast, and I can run as many streams as I want.

A lot of this discussion is over my head, but I will say that when I replaced my RTX 1080 graphics card with an RTX 3090, SL performance markedly improved. I can run it at 4K resolution, and I never have lag any more.

Premium Gifts and monthly/quarterly subscriptions
Jennifer Boyle replied to Alwin Alcott's topic in General Discussion Forum
I have been premium almost as long as one could be. I have never paid much attention to premium gifts because they were not worth paying attention to. -
I hardly know how to begin. Thank you so much for teaching me so much. I am so sorry that you have RL issues that are making you leave. I hope that you will occasionally visit to tell us that you are OK.

For me, multiple foot positions are essential, as are multiple nail colors. A few different hand positions and some choices of nail lengths would be nice. I don't know how these things can be achieved without a HUD.

You are right. I still think the underwear should be nicer-looking. At least it isn't a permanent part of the avatar!

There is too much here for me to read it all, so please forgive me if I repeat what others have said. I tried Jamie. I was somewhat disappointed, considering the time and effort that have gone into these avatars. The avatar itself was just OK. I would have expected a simplified, intuitive HUD for the body with limited functionality instead of no HUD. I tried the tank top, shorts, and jeans. The tank fit well and needed no alpha mask. The jeans fit poorly and definitely needed one. The shorts were knee-length. The underwear was awful; it was solid plain white completely lacking any details. The hair was quite disappointing. There was no makeup. The default shape was not one that I thought was attractive, but was easily improved (by someone with many years' experience in SL) enough to be OK. The names of the various items were not descriptive at all. One change that could be made easily, quickly, and at low cost that would make this avatar friendlier to new users would be to give all items descriptive names, e.g., "Red Tank Top," "Very Pale Skin," "Tall Thin Shape." Another is to include multiple descriptively-named shapes. It's much easier for a new user to choose a shape from among several offerings than it is to learn to edit shapes. And, please, do something about the ugly underwear. Another is to include instructions. Probably the best way would be to have a NC Named "READ ME FIRST" that contained a link to a short online video. If technically feasible, it would be worth considering providing a number of pre-made outfits. Even if outfit folders couldn't be used, almost the same functionality could be achieved with regular folders containing links. That would make it much easier for new people to put an avatar together.

Unexplained and unwanted visitors
Jennifer Boyle replied to Medusa Torok's topic in General Discussion Forum
I have had a home on the mainland since 2008 and have had the same one since 2012. I have never restricted access to my home. I view it as something of which I am proud and something that I want others, friends and strangers alike, to enjoy. I have never restricted access. I have frequent visits by people I don't know. These visitors represent the full spectrum of humanity (avatanity?). Griefers are rare. Avatars who are obnoxious but not malicious are less rare. Most are nice people. I have become friends with people I met that way. The gratification I get from sharing and from meeting new people far outweighs the small effort I must make to deal with the few bad apples. I have lived on the same parcel since 2009, and there are less than 100 names on the ban list. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. Someone else's unwanted intruder is my welcome potential new friend. -

How can I save local chat log in monthly blocks
Jennifer Boyle replied to Louise Fyrewik's topic in Second Life Viewer
I keep mine on a flash drive. I can access them from whatever PC I'm using, and they open fast. -
You might try this. I use it routinely to deform other parts, but I have not tied to deform thighs and calves.

My alt went over to the beta grid and tried out Blake. I was surprised that the clothing didn't fit better than it did. With movement, the underlying body poked through---a lot. I was disappointed to see that there were alpha masks for the clothing, though they were surely needed. If the goal is to make something that works well in the hands of new users with as little effort on their part as possible, shouldn't something like the Maitreya autohider be used instead of alpha masks?

I have been experimenting. I understand better, and I understand what I need to do, although I don't think I completely understand the inner workings of the system. Here is what I've learned: The key to preserving the order of the layers is to save a NEW outfit. Before, my mistake was to just save the changed outfit. Apparently, doing that does not cause the layer order data to be overwritten. To impose my preferred order on another outfit, it seems that I must wear it, remove the tattoo layers, and then add the outfit that contains the layers in correct order.

When Do you guys actually say ''this is my look'
Jennifer Boyle replied to Subscribedd's topic in Your Avatar
This discussion is a wonderful example of how different people approach SL differently.
