thanks for sharing that great idea. I will certainly try it.

I cannot find a satisfactory solution, so I do not buy shoes with prim feet.

You can't. Anyone who is a member of a group you belong to can see if you are online or not. Anyone can send you and IM or give you something and find out if you are online. As someone else already said, the only way to be online without others knowing is to be on an alt no one knows about.

I visited your store. I did not closely examine everything, but just picked a few at random. I don't think I can answer your question, but I can tell you a few things that could be improved. The first, and most important, is that I would be much more likely to buy something if you either had a LOT more choices of colors and patterns of fabrics or had scripts that allowed the owner to change fabric texture, as some furniture makers do. It took several tries to get the scripts in the Paige living room suite to work, and I never could get the lamp to work. It was a minor irritant the notecard giver for the Paige sex bed gave me a copy of the hovertext script, so that I had to delete one more useless inventory item. I think that is just a mistake, since other notecard givers didn't do it. When shopping for furniture, I'm usually either looking for a suite for a room and don't know exactly what I want, in which case I want to see a large variety, or I'm looking for something quite specific in terms of style, material, color, size, etc., in which case I want to see several suitable things to choose from, and want to buy a single pieces, not a whole suite. Like everyone else, I would like to find what I want without speeding hours looking. In the first instance, I want to see a big variety. In the second instance, I want to see several similar items. So, I think you might be better to either expand your inventory a lot, or to specialize in some particular style. Just my $0.02. Your store was not laggy, which is a big plus for me. I also like the way your menus worked, poping up when I sat

I have 33 pages and 20 online now. I purposely keep people on my list indefinitely. I never know when I will reconnect with someone after a hiatus of a fewe years.

But one can choose in viewer preferences what levels one wants to see. Even someone who is age-verified, like me, can uncheck "M" and "A.' And I think the default is "G" only.

At least one person either won or settled (I forget which.) the lawsuit he filed in federal court after his account was terminated. ETA: I looked it up. The suit was settled and the account was reinstated.

I always thought child avatars were wierd and wondered why anyone would want one until I met two of the cutest little girls that I have ever seen. They were so chgarming that it made me want a child avatar.

oes anyone know of any better way to organize things inside storage prims than having prims inside prims inside prims? It is so time-consuming to have to rez a prim, take the contents into inventory, rez another prim, etc., until one has drilled down to the desired level. I thought of using notecards instead of prims for storage, but that only works for full-perm items, which I seldom need to store. When dealing with multiple storage prims, I find it handy to have the name of the prim displayed in hovertext, which this simple script will do automatically: // This simple script displays the name of the prim it is in // in hovering text above the prim. // by Jennifer Boyle 1/15/2010 // Placed in the public domain by the creator 1/15/2010 default { state_entry() { llSetText(llGetLinkName(0), <1.0,1.0,0.0>, 1); llResetScript(); } }

I provided a list of what I called them, and UUIDs for each one (and photographs) but this was insufficient. Just curious. Again. It seems to me that anything she had that you had had identified specifically enough, either by name, UUID, or description, for LL to identify it could and should be removed. I can't see a reason for not doing that, and for not removing all copies in the malefactor's inventory. Why not? OTOH, if she had stolen items in her inventory that were not copies of (her) items the you had specifically identified, how could LL identify them?

How about mimicing the appearance by using a texture with a transparent background on a prim?

Pamela Galli wrote: ... LL does not remove content from infringers' inventories but just from MP or inworld.... I am curious about this. I have had content (that I acquired from someone else and had no idea was not legitimate) removed from my inventory by LL. Is mesh handled differently than other content?

I just can't resist. Here's my newest hat.

Someone suggested recently inb another thread that it would be good if LL required a statement like, "Used by permission of..." whenpeople sold items based on content owned by others. I think that would be an excellent idea. As it stands, no one but the seller of the item and the owners of the rights to its content know whether anything improper is going on or not.

I don't know why people are posting all of these far-fetched ideas. I thought everyone knew that Phillip Rosedale created it.

The pleasure is mine.

This is offered FWIW. You might try the beta Nvidia driver. I was having problems with the latest production Nvidia driver. They resolved when I replaced it with the beta driver.

Take this for what it's worth. I would try deleting all of the Second Life data files, which for the LL viewer are located in %APPDATA%/SecondLife (usually C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming\SecondLife).

There are two other solutions: Rent exactly the amount of tier you need from people who are in the business of renting it. The way it works is that you have a group you own own the land, and make one of them a member, who donates tier. Another way would be to make an alt to own part of the land or donate tier to a land-owning group. You get a 10% tier bonus when a group owns and, which should, itself, help.

Thanks for all the good info.

There is really no downside to deeding it to a group you own. You need two people for a group, and the other one can be an alt on a free account. If a group owns the land you get a 10% tier bonus.

Theresa Tennyson wrote: It's possible but it will be a very fussy procedure. When you upload a texture for an alpha it can be difficult to anticipate exactly what the alpha will mask because of how the viewer interprets the texture. I'm working on it now and I'm getting close but there is a lot of trial and error involved. You should be able to ignore the invisiprim when its done. Oh, I know! It took 36 iterations for me to get one I made for a mesh skirt just right. Thank God for temporary uploads. However, having made that one, it will be quick and easy to tweak it when it needs it to work with other skirts.

Just curious. I have always assumed that records are kept of all transfers and that they are accessible to at least certain Lindens. They're not?
