Ged Larsen's LinkRez tool has been a standard in SL for as long as I have been around. It takes a lot of the repetitive guesswork out of making necklaces, bracelets, and other things that involve lining up dozens of tiny parts. You ought to be able to find it in world or in Marketplace.

Linden Lab offers many different types of Linden Homes, but there is no guarantee that they will all be available when you are shopping for one. That is very much like RL. If you do not see the style you are interested in, wait. Try again on another day. People leave their Linden Homes and move to other places in SL every day. Their homes will become available to you.. Remember also that you are allowed to abandon your Linden Home and choose a new one up to 5 times every day. If you choose a home and decide that you do not like it, you can always leave and get a different one.

It's not too surprising that the WalMart VISA doesn't work. 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. PayPal: 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. Credit cards: 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 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Billing/ta-p/700037#Section_.3) 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). If none of the above applies, contact your credit card provider to determine the cause. You may also contact Linden Lab Billing Support.

The Pibgorn sim is reported to be up and running. However, it's clearly not. If you TP to the Saxaphone sim just to the south, you can't walk or fly to Pibgorn. The sim is clearly OFF line. Submit a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ with the selection Land & Region >> Report an offline Region. Linden Lab attends to those reports very quickly.

I've never bothered with paying for ads myself, so I'm hardly one to speak from experience. There are thousands of merchants in Marketplace, though, and a huge number of ads. Unless you are spending megabucks for a splash ad that puts yours up front, my guess is that it will be lost in the crowd. They rotate onto each visitor's screen randomly, so you probably just haven't seen yours come up yet.

You can always restore your avatar to its ugly factory settings by using Character Test >> Male/Female. Your viewer may have a shortcut for doing that (in Firestorm it's in the Avatar >> Avatar Health menu), but you can always find it in your Develop menu (CTRL + Alt +Q) >> Avatar >> Character Tests. There's an easier way, though. Open your inventory and then open its Library folders waaaaaay at the bottom of the list. Open the Clothing subfolder and you'll see a large selection of sub-sub-folders. Each one has a complete avatar in it, and they're not bad for starter avs. Sample them all. Wear all or parts of the stuff in each folder until you find one you like --- or can at least tolerate until you find something to spend your money on in world or in Marketplace.

You can certainly UNcheck the box in Preferences >> Chat that says "Email me IMs when I am offline". That will stop many of the messages. It won't kill forwarded group notices, however, and it won't stop any messages that are sent from your Marketplace store. It also won't stop messages that are sent directly from Linden Lab to your account. You should probably do as many of us have done for ages ..... Create a gmail account for Second Life and give that address to Linden Lab. Any SL mail will go there instead of showing up in your normal e-mail, and you can ignore it or delete it as you wish.

If nothing else, you can go to your Advanced menu (CTRL + Alt + D) and look for Debug Settings >>. PlayTypingAnim . Set it to FALSE. Most of the viewers have a Preference setting that does the same thing.

Is it really a BSOD, or are you still logged in to SL? Symptoms which may be the result of problem gestures include: You are able to log in but find yourself under water (all you can see is a blue screen) at coordinates 10, 10, 10. If you log in to an all blue screen, check your location, see if you are near the SIM corner, at 10, 10, 10. If so, you almost certainly have a problem gesture.In some cases, you will see that there is an error in loading one or more gestures. If you do, make careful note of which ones, then find them and deactivate them - or better, delete them. If there is no such message, then please read more at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/gesture_issues.

It's not clear whether you are talking about making a new account -- an alt -- or a new body fo your current avatar. If you're talking about having an alt, all you have to do is sign up again the same way you did before. You'll have two accounts, each with its own inventory and L$ balance, just as if you were sisters. If you have a good enough computer, you could log on with both accounts at the same time and have two of you on line at once. You can have up to 5 alts at the same IP address. See https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alt_Account_FAQ If you're talking about having a different body -- shape, skin, hair, eyes, and wardrobe --- that's even easier. Just go shopping. You can buy skin and all the other stuff all over SL and on Marketplace, or you can just make a lot of it if you are skilled enough.

Just a thought, but since you said that you're on a Mac, here's a tip from our friend Val ...... Assuming you are running the latest OS (Lion or Mountain Lion), you have to adjust your security setttings in your Mac preferences, otherwise Lion won't allow SL (or any application other than the ones approved by Apple).You have to tick the box "authorize applications from anywhere".

There are no Lindens here. This is a resident-to-resident Answer service. We are all SL residents like you. If you have US$ in your account, you should be able to convert them to L$ easily in the Lindex. Just go to your dashboard at secondlife.com and select Linden Exchange >> Buy L$. If that is what you have tried and it is not working, you may need to call the Linden Lab billing office to ask about the status of your account. If you have a non-technical issue related to billing concerns, you can call the Linden Lab billing team at the following toll-free numbers: US/Canada: 800-294-1067 France: 0805-101-490 Germany: 0800-664-5510 Japan: 0066-33-132-830 Portugal: 800-814-450 Spain: 800-300-560 UK: 0800-048-4646 Brazil: 0800-762-1132 Long distance ( not free, but you can use Skype to save some cost ) : 703-286-6277 **Note: Support is offered only in English

Try clearing your browser's cache. See if that makes a difference. Of course, you can still go shopping in world ...... :smileywink:

Esta es la misma pregunta que le pidió hace tres días ( http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Linden-Dollars-L/vender-lindes/qaq-p/1635115 ), pero aún no han proporcionado la información que Irene le pidió. Si usted tiene un problema de carácter no técnico relacionado con las preocupaciones de facturación, puede llamar al equipo de Linden Lab de facturación en los siguientes números gratuitos: EE.UU. / Canadá: 800-294-1067 Francia: 0805-101-490 Alemania: 0800-664-5510 Japón: 0066-33-132-830 Portugal: 800-814-450 España: 800-300-560 Reino Unido: 0800-048-4646 Brasil: 0800-762-1132 De larga distancia (no es gratuito, pero se puede usar Skype para ahorrar un poco de costo): 703-286-6277 Nota **: El apoyo se ofrece sólo en Inglés

Go to your dashboard at secondlife.com and click on Account >> Transaction History . You'll see a complete record of any movement of funds into or out of your account. You can look back as far as 30 days by resetting the date range. Any older transaction history is lost, however.

You didn't say what sort of machine you are trying to install the viewer on, so my first guess is that your computer does not meet SL's minimum standards. The information on that link can be ambiguous, and technology change rapidly enough that its information can be outdated too, but it's a place to check. If you want to give us more infomation to work with, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question here and select EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

What do you mean that "it" keeps failing? What's "it"? Your camera? Your SL viewer? And how does it fail? Do you crash? Do you get some kind of error message? What happens? Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to add useful information. Please do NOT start a new thread.

I assume that you are uploading from your computer with the image uploader that you get when you are editing an item listing in your Marketplace. You are using a valid image format and the dimensions of your images are OK, so that's not a problem. I think you may have a connectivity issue. It takes a long time to load images sometimes anyway, but if you have a really slow Internet connection it may take so long that the uploader times out before it finishes. Check your actual bandwidth ( http://www.speedtest.net/ ) , and then be sure that you don't have other programs competing for bandwidth while you are uploading images. Get off wireless, which is often slower and loses bandwidth too.

Go with the Acer machine. The Sony only has 4Gb of memory, compared with 6 for the Acer, and it has less oomph in its graphics card. More memory means that you'll have more room for cache and thus less rez lag, among other things, and it always makes sense to opt for the highest quality graphics card you can afford. Unless you are really stuck on a laptop, though, you'll have a better SL experience with a desktop. A laptop naturally has a wimpy little screen, so it will be like peeking at SL through a window and you'll have a hard time seeing tiny objects unless you zoom in on them. You'll also be able to get more performance overall for the price with a desktop machine than from a laptop. I know that may not be hoice for you, because you will need the mobility of a laptop for other reasons --- like studying! --- but it's something to keep in mind. Also remember that whether you use a laptop or a desktop, you will have fewer connectivity issues if you use a direct cable connection and stay away from wireless while you are in SL.

Ummm.... nooo. That doesn't sound too smart to me. The only tools I'll let near my keyboard are my soft bristle brush and my trusty can of air. She sounds like the old college roommate who was convinced that she could take burned-out light bulbs back to some repair shop and have new filaments put in them. Faintly logical but not thinking things all the way through.

Actually, they do make vacuums just for computers. You may not be able to buy one at Best Buy, but you ought to be able to find one on line. BTW, if your canned air is icing up, use short bursts instead of a long continuous blast.

Yay! Nice work, Val.

Just store the original position (probably in state_entry) and then reset to that position whenever you stop the pendulum in either touch_start or the timer event. I'd probably use llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast, which has no delay.

A cloud? That happens all the time. That's a communication problem between your computer and SL's servers. Information about your appearance has to be "baked" onto your avatar on your own computer, saved there, and then uploaded to SL before it's fully visible there. If the necessary information is messed up in transmission, you may end up with a borked file on your computer, or SL's servers may end up with a borked image. Either way, your av's appearance defaults to a fluffy cloud. What works to repair the damage for one person won't necessarily work for the next person, and it may not be the same thing that works for you tomorrow. See the full list of possibilities here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_fail . Start with the simple things at the top of the list and work down until you find what works for you today. You may find that the bake fail problem comes back repeatedly, even after you fix it with one of the suggestions on that wiki page. If so, you have a chronically weak Internet connection. There are many steps to take for repairing it. Perhaps the simplest ones -- ones that work best for most people -- are: (1) Don't Use WIRELESS. Wireless connections are inherently less stable than direct cable connections and are more vulnerable to interference. Then, (2) Reboot your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it clear its RAM. The plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address.

If it is showing up wherever you happen to land or fly in the sim --- not just at one particular spot -- then it's not loose in the sky. You are wearing it and carrying it around with you. In fact, there's a decent possibility that it's a HUD that is on your viewer screen, not actually rezzed in world. So, open your inventory, select the Worn tab to find the object, and detach it. BTW, for future reference ..... CTRL + Alt + T highlights transparent objects. It doesn't matter whether they are scripted or not. A transparent object may also be very small, or at least very thin, so it could be difficult to see even when it's highlighted. If you know that you're looking for a scripted object, it's sometimes wiser to use a beacon to locate it. Turn on beacons with CTRL + Shift + Alt + N or with World >> Show More >> Beacons.
