  1. That's one of many possible ways to enter SL for the first time, so it's hard to know exactly which one you mean. Try teleporting to Help Island Public. Maybe that's the place you're thinking of.
  2. You can't choose a specific home at a specific location. When you register for a Linden Home, you request a style. If there is a home available in that style, you will be offered it, wherever it is. You don;t have to accept it. Even if you do accept it, you can abandon it later and request a new one. If you'd like to keep trying until you get a house in your preferred style at a location you like, you can do that up to 5 times a day. EDIT: See the OP's related question and responses at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Land/can-I-choose-a-home-that-I-would-like-better-Or-do-we-have-to/qaq-p/1664187
  3. If you are talking about a Linden Home, then yes, you can certainly choose a different one. All you have to do is abandon the one that you have now. So .... 1. Take all of your stuff back, one item at a time, so that it's all in your inventry. 2. Stand in your home, click the Land icon at the top of your screen (or select World >> About Land), and click the Abandon Land button on the General page. You will then be free to register for a new Linden Home, the same way you selected the previous one. You can do this up to 5 times a day, if you wish. There's never any guarantee that the particular style you want will be available, of course. That will depend on whether some other homeowner has abandoned one. Of course, if you are not talking about a Linden Home, but about a home in general, you may change it almost the same way. You may stay on the same land and just replace your home with a different one that you buy or build. If you'd rather move to a different parcel, take back all of your stuff and then sell or abandon the land (or simply fail to renew the lease if you have been renting). EDIT: See the OP's related question and response at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Land/Can-I-choose-a-Linden-home-I-found-on-the-waters-edge-that-I/qaq-p/1664201/comment-id/7201#M7201
  4. Here are some common reasons for credit card failure: You entered the credit card number incorrectly. You did not enter the billing address or entered it incorrectly. It should be the same address that appears on your bill. You did not enter the name on the card or entered differently from how it appears on the card. The credit card is not in the list of accepted payment methods (see above) You did not enter the CVV (3 digits on the back, or 4 digits on the front for AmEx) or entered it incorrectly. The card is expired, or the expiration date was entered incorrectly. There are no funds available on the credit card to validate it. We send a US$1.00 authorization to ensure that a credit card is valid. This is not a billing, but the card must have at least US$1.00 available on it to pass validation. Your monthly payment limit is reached, and/or your bank is not authorizing any more transactions. The issuing bank has not pre-approved transactions with Linden Research, Inc. Contact the issuing bank to resolve the problem. If you are outside the US, your card may not be set up for international/overseas transactions (this is very common with Visa Electron). A common cause of payment method failure is the use of unsupported card types. At this time, the majority of prepaid cards are not compatible with our system, even if they bear the VISA/AMEX/Mastercard logo. This includes cards purchased at retail stores, rechargeable credit cards, and bank-issued check cards. If none of the above applies, contact your credit card provider to determine the cause. You may also contact Linden Lab Billing Support. Often the initial agreement can't be set up due to an unverified PayPal account. To use your PayPal account with Linden Lab, it must be verified and have a credit card on file as a backup funding source. Linden Lab does not accept e-check (bank account) payments through PayPal because they cannot be processed quickly enough to match the instant delivery of virtual goods and services. Therefore, we require that you have a credit card on file with PayPal as a backup payment source.
  5. You can ask, but we have no idea. We are all SL residents like you, and we have no power or authority to sort anything out. There are no Lindens here and, in fact, Lindens never come here. In general, however, when lag afflicts a sim there are only two reasons: (1) There are problems with the servers or (2) There are design or traffic problems on the sim. Remember that each sim shares its servers with three others, so that in either case your sim could be suffering because of problems on one or more of the other sims. I suggest that you contact the Concierge Service to ask for help.

  7. Check your spam filter to see if any message regarding your suspension has been trapped there. These messages generally indicate you have been blocked from the Second Life servers by Linden Lab as the result of: Documented cases of fraud Use of Second Life by a minor Exceptionally flagrant abuse activity Note that someone else in your household may be responsible for this activity, not necessarily with your account. If you believe that this is an error, submit a support ticket via the support portal. To help customer support determine what block has been placed and why, include in the ticket your Second Life account name and any Second Life accounts that log in from your location.
  8. Live Chat is available 8am to Midnight PST, M-F; and 8am to 8pm PST Saturday and Sunday https://support.secondlife.com/start-chat/ . If you have been contacting them outside of those hours, that could explain the slow response.
  9. You will need to follow these directions..... If you have cancelled your account, you may be able to restore it, depending on how long ago it was cancelled. There is a US$9.95 reactivation fee for restoring an account. Warning: Even if your account is restored, the associated inventory, land, and Linden dollar balance may be unrecoverable. To start the process: Open a support case. Under What type of problem are you having? choose Account Issue. Choose Reactivate an old account. Enter the required information Click Submit.

  12. Unfortunately, it's very unlikely that another resident is going to be able to tell you why the tiems were removed or what the correcr category is. We all make our own best guesses when we list items too. All you can do is submit a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ . Select Marketplace >> General Marketplace Issues.
  13. I just spent much of the morning testing my copy of the script. If I increase the range in llTarget to 0.2, I can get my success rate over 90%, so that I arrive properly at the destination, with the camera, and am unseated. I discovered mid-morning that I could apparently improve success rate by turning off Pathfinding for the sim (which cleared up a few other minor problems too --- I need to figure out why).
  14. Não há taxa para cancelar uma conta. Há uma taxa de US $ 9,95 para recuperar uma conta antiga, no entanto, assim que você terá de pagar a taxa, se você mudar de idéia e decidir retornar ao Second Life depois. Por essa razão, muitas pessoas decidem não cancelar e contabilizar quando saem SL.
  15. That's very odd. You probably ought to submit a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ . Select Marketplace >> General Marketplace Issues. The more important question, of course, is "Did you receive all of the things that you paid for?" If the answer is yes, then the missing transaction log is curious but not worth losing sleep over. If you didn't get the stuff you bought, though, that's a bigger issue. It's hard to make a claim for non-delivery if the records are missing.
  16. Camping chairs aren't as common as they once were, but you can still find them. You just have to look very hard. They are legal, so long as the shop owner doesn't have bots sitting in them. Frankly, though, they have never been a good way to earn L$. You earn practically nothing for sitting on a pose ball for hours, when you could be off enjoying SL or maybe earning more money doing something entirely different. The easiest way to get L$, of course, is to buy them. Just go to the Lindex and use your lunch money to buy yourself a couple of thousand L$. You'll be able to buy loads of stuff without breaking a sweat. Earning the same amount of money in SL almost always means having some marketable skill as a builder, scripter, or designer, or as a performer or DJ. You'll work longer hours for lower pay than if you had done the same work in RL, but it can be rewarding. Take a look at these suggestions >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Guide_to_Jobs_in_Second_Life . You can also earn small amounts of money playing games or entering contests. You don't really need much money to have fun in SL. For one thing, the exchange rate is very favorable ($4 USD == L$1,000), so your lunch money goes a long way. Heck, you can buy a great pair of shoes for about $2 USD. For another thing, there's a load of free stuff in SL, and a lot of it is good quality merchandise. You don't have to pay for food, taxis, or medical bills. You don't even need to own a home (although that can be fun).
  17. The simplest, most common answer is that you belong to one or more groups that are expecting you to pay a share of group liabilities (advertising events, usually). You can tell for sure by opening your dashboard at secondlife.com and navigating to Account >> Transaction History. You'll see a record of all transactions for the past 30 days, so you'll know exactly where your money is going. If it's to groups, you can decide whether to stay in them or not.
  18. Yes, that's a seriously bad Ping Sim value. My own Ping Sim is typically around 60 ms. SL residents in Europe report values between 150 and 250. Anything over 200 will start to give you severe movement problems. 3000 is a disaster. Basically, Ping Sim is a measure of how long it takes data to travel from your computer to SL's servers, or vice versa. If it takes too long, there will be a big delay between the time that you use your keyboard or mouse to do something and the time that it actually happens. The biggest factor affecting Ping Sim is distance. That's why Europeans typically have higher values than those of us in North America. If your signal is routed through a tortuous path to Linden Lab servers in San Francisco or Dallas (from Boston by way of Atlanta and Boise, for example), that can slow things down. Unfortunately, you can't do anything about distance. You can find out where the bottlenecks between you and the Linden Lab servers are, though. Use the tracert program in your computer or Google for a public equivalent on line, and run a trace on the path from your machine to your sim's server in SL (The IP address is in the Help >> About menu in your viewer). When I do that, I find that the slowest step is in Dallas. I suspect that you will find that the slowest step is the very first one, however, right at your own computer. You could have a faulty router or maybe an unshielded data cable running over a power line, for example. Or you could be on a very busy node on your campus, competing with hundreds of other students for limited access to the Internet. That's especially probable if you are using wireless --- almost always a bad idea for SL, even if you are the only person using your router.

  19. It depends on what you mean. If you are looking for a job, you can post in the Inworld Employment forum. Community Guidelines prohibit "aggressive self-promotion". but you are allowed to have a signature line with a link to your Second Life profile or information about your Second Life business. To make one, click on the My Settings link at the top of this page and select the Personal Profile >> Personal Information tab. You can type a signature( see mine down there vv ?) in the box labeled Signature or you can link to a texture that you have made in Photoshop or another graphics program and stored in an on-line source like Flickr or Photobucket. It cannot be more than 64 pixels high.
  20. This message generally indicates you have been blocked from the Second Life servers by Linden Lab as the result of: Documented cases of fraud Use of Second Life by a minor Exceptionally flagrant abuse activity Note that someone else in your household may be responsible for this activity, not necessariliy with your account. If you believe that this is an error, submit a support ticket via the support portal. To help customer support determine what block has been placed and why, include in the ticket your Second Life account name and any Second Life accounts that log in from your location.
  21. The first thing to try is changing your web browser. SL and IE have never played well together. Try Firefox or Chrome.
  22. This variation works for me most of the time, Dora. About one time out of ten, it still delivers me to the target location but does not follow me with the camera or unsit me, but nine times out of ten it works fine. It never takes me to <0,0,0>. This is a lot better than any teleporter I have ever built.
  23. No, there isn't. You cannot modify or copy a texture unless you own a copy of the texture that has those permissions assigned to it. Yes,there are illegal ways to do it, and there are low-lifes who will use them. Illegal copying is a TOS intellectual property violation, for which you can be suspended or banned from SL. Please don't do it..
  24. Thank you, Peggy. That's a much clearer analysis than I have seen before.
