Linden Lab can do almost anything, but they're not likely to shut down a group just for the heck of it. When a group vanishes, it is almost always for one of two reasons: 1. The owner deliberately closed the group by ejecting everyone and then leaving the group her/himself. Or 2. The owner forgot that a group has to have at least two members to be viable. If there are fewer than 2 members, a group will disappear within 24 to 48 hours. If the group no longer shows up in your profile (you have 7 groups there now), then you were ejected or left the group voluntarily. Check in Search to be sure that the group really does still exist. If it does, contact its owner to find out what's going on.

You cannot change your username. Ever. Your username and your UUID are forever. You have two options: 1. Use a Display Name. It's like a nickname in RL -- not official for important things like logging in to SL, but a nice friendly name that you'd like your friends to call you. You should be aware, of course, that many people in SL elect not to look at Display Names, so you will still find people who address you by your username. Still, it's not a bad option as long as you stay away from names with goofy letters that are impossible to read. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Usernames-and-display-names/ta-p/700173 2. Open a new account, an alt. You can have up to 5 accounts in SL, and many of us have at least one alt. When you create the new account, you may choose any username that is not already in use.

Do you mean someplace other than http://gridsurvey.com/index.php ? That's the only place I know of, although there are a few bloggers who report a few stats from time to time.

You can wear full body armor. Attach a prim to every attachment point and then script them to yell when hit. Otherwise, there's not much you can do. The servers don't know where parts of your body are. They know where the center of your body is and they let your viewer fill in the rest by knowing how it is supposed to animate you. With llCastRay you can certainly tell the region position where the ray made contact with an av, but you can't leap from that informnation to tell whether you have detected a kneecap or an ear lobe.

Dang! Back to the shallow end of the pool. Actually, though, I bet I can make an Instant Chalkboard at least as good as that one.

The other vital part of the equation, of course, is talent. You can practice the violin for years, but you'll never make it to Carnegie Hall unless you're in Joshua Bell's end of the gene pool. You can also spend every waking hour learning how to handle an airbrush or Photoshop, become a highly competent technician, and still not end up producing artwork for the Louvre. As a longtime fan of science fiction, Chosen, you will recognize Doc Smith's well-worn line,"We can't all be the first violin in the orchestra. Some of us have to push the wind through the trombones." That's not to say that you have to be a world-class artist to have fun and create beauty. Personally, I have no such delusions, although I like to think that I have enough talent to hold my own against refrigerator art. Practice does make a difference. Without it, even the gifted artist will remain in the shadows. With practice, some of us can do wonderful things with our middling talent and can bring joy to our lives and to people around us. Still, universities are full of marginally talented art majors with high hopes, getting excellent instruction and plenty of practice but not destined to make more than a tiny splash in the art world. Practice is a sine qua non, but it takes talent to be Picasso.

You could try listing your sim in the Regions for Sale: Full Regions forum.

I assume you are aware that voice is not a part of the Sl viewer itself. It is handled by a third party, Virwox, so you have to be sure that SLVoice.exe, which manages that function, has access through your firewall. BTW, as a truly minor point, you are not dealing with SSB. It's Server Side Appearance (SSA). SSB does not exist.

It's late in the day, but I think you're in the running for Question of the Day. My guess, purely a guess, is Yes. Otherwise why would you sell them?

Wow. V3 has that option? Is that like setting the keyboard to WASD mode?

Sure. The last owner is listed right on the General page when you select an object and open your Edit tool (CTRL + 3).

No, there really isn't. I suppose you could mute everyone you meet, but that's a little draconian. Public chat is our primary way to communicate in SL, so shutting it out completely would be like snubbing most of the world. You can just pretend that you don't see what people are saying to you though, I guess, and there's nothing that says you have to respond.

Magic Boxes were phased out many months ago, JoAnna. They are only valid in the specific case that you are trying to sell individual items that YOU do not have copy perms on -- things like breeedables and fairy eggs. All other items must be sold through the Direct Delivery system. You will need to migrate all items currently in your Magic Box to Direct Delivery and then upload any future items to Marketplace with the Merchant Outbox in your viewer. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Selling-in-the-Marketplace/ta-p/700193 and, specifically, http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Marketplace-Direct-Delivery-migration-guide/ta-p/1293139

No sarcasm intended. I was simply reminding you that we already answered your question last week and providing a link in case you had misplaced it. And I don't have a supervisor. This is a resident-to-resident Answer service. I'm just another SL resident, like you, Tryad. ;-)

If you are talking about the account that you used to log in here just now, it looks like it's alive. If you can log in here, you should be able to log in to SL. There shouldn't be any need to re-register. If you are concerned about some other account, though, go to https://support.secondlife.com/contact-support/ and submit a support ticket using the category Account Issue >>> Account Creation Issue. You may need to jump through a couple of hoops to verify that you are the true owner of that account, but they should be able to help you get it straightened out.

As we explained the last time you asked this same question, there is no "scanning beam" in the map or MiniMap. The green avatar dots on the minimap are located there by accessing what the server knows about the position of every single thing on the sim. The server doesn't have to "scan" for the avatars. It already knows where they are. The appearance of the map and minimap are built into Linden Lab's viewer code, which is then picked up and used in each of the TPV's. We users have no control over any of that. If you wanted to go to the trouble of creating your own viewer, you could probably tweak it there.

The & operator is bitwise. That is, the quantities to the left and right of it are combined with an AND. We would typically use & when we are using one variable as a mask to test the other one. For example, if we write changed (integer change){ if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY) // CHANGED_INVENTORY is a LSL constant, equal to 0X001 { //Do something }} then we are hoping that the value of the variable change will be equal to 0x001, because 0X001 AND 0X001 = 0X001. That is, all bits in the constant CHANGED_INVENTORY match bits in the value of change, so the end result of the if test is TRUE. The && operator, on the other hand is a simple logical combination. In your own example, if (a == b && c == d) asks whether a == b and c == d each evaluate to TRUE. If they both do, then the result of the if test is TRUE. If either one is FALSE, then the result of the if test is FALSE. Edited as usual for typos

Awwww.... The Start A Thread button is on the left side.

LOL. That'll do it.

Gee, Maddy. Move to the Midwest. I can get a nice pita sandwich and a small cup of coffee for $5. Or a respectable Greek salad and a cibatta roll. (I know, I'm not a big eater.)

Clearing cache won't do a thing (except slow down your texture rendering for a while). After all, anything that is in your inventory can't affect you. A script can't do anything unless it is in an object that is rezzed in world. So, if you worry about an attached tracker, detach all your attachments, including HUDs. If you have reason to suspect that one of them contains a tracking script, don't wear it again. If you have been using a TPV that offers RLV, disengage it to detach any unwanted objects that might be controlling or tracking your movements.
