Of course. You can AR anyone. It's Linden Lab's job to figure out whether a TOS violation has occurred and what to do about it. In this particular case, the Community Standards, referenced in the TOS, are quite clear.... "Sharing personal information about your fellow Residents without their consent -- including gender, religion, age, marital status, race, sexual preference, alternate account names, and real-world location beyond what is provided by them in their Resident profile -- is not allowed."

No, but the question comes up a few times a year,like this >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Building-and-Texturing-Forum/High-gloss-floor-with-reflections/m-p/1209547/highlight/true#M4158 Sometimes people have really inspired ideas >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Art-Music-and-Photography/Your-avatar-in-a-mirror-a-random-Suella-guide/m-p/791921/highlight/true#M674 As Amethyst says, though, real reflections are just too computationally intense for SL to handle.

I almost always use llResetTime() and llGetTime() myself. It saves doing the arithmetic and it's a whole lot simpler if I'm scripting a delayed action switch, for example. touch_start (integer num){ llResetTime();}touch_end(integer num){ if (llGetTime() > 2.0) { //Delayed response } else { // Normal response }}

The "Resident" last name has been missing semi-randomly from at least some new style names for a while, but I can't find any mention of a formal change. I can't remember when I first noticed that my alt didn't have the last name Resident. It does still show up if you detect a person's name with an LSL script, though, and it's still required for login with Phoenix (and I suppose other V1 viewers). There may be a stealth change afoot, therefore, but it's piecemeal.

Have you tried using a different viewer? If not, when you reinstalled the viewer that you are using, did you do a clean reinstall, so that all traces of the old one (including your user_settings) were deleted?

We've had a small handful of posts about this problem. That's not a SL error message. It's a Windows message, described in this thread >>> http://www.updatexp.com/0xC0000005.html , for example. The implication from this and similar sites that you can find with Google is that this is a RAM error --- a failing memory chip? One poster here claimed that he traced the error on his machine to a faulty memory stick.

I'm not sure what some of that means, like "comes with a regular folder," but it sounds as if your downloaded file was damaged or installed improperly. Do a clean reinstall, as described here , so that you can be sure that all vestiges of the first installation have been completely removed from your computer. Removing the viewer and related files from your Programs folder will not be sufficient. Then, download a new copy of the viewer from here >>> https://secondlife.com/support/downloads/?lang=en-US . It should install automatically after you click on one or two basic questions. If you have problems again, come back here and let us know what happened. Also, tell us what kind of computer you are using and what sort of Internet connection. To add that information, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT.

As announced yesterday .... "We will be performing rolling restarts for regions on the Magnum, BlueSteel, and LeTigre RC server channels Wednesday, June 20th starting at 07:00am PDT. Please save all builds and refrain from rezzing no copy objects or making inworld L$ transactions at that time." Objects that are rezzed during sim restarts risk being lost permanently, so this is good advice. Before you panic totally, however, scan the area thoroughly to be sure that it wasn't rezzed inside another object or shunted to another unexpected location. Two unexpected spots are the extreme SW corner of the sim at location <0.0,0.0,0.0>, and at high altitude. If you are using the Firestorm viewer, you can do this search very quickly with your World >> Area Search tool. Check your Lost & Found folder too, to be sure that it wasn't returned by the servers.

Here's the official recommendation from Linden Lab, with one small addition..... If you know your username but have forgotten your password, go to the password recovery page. Enter your username and click Send Instructions to have instructions on how to create a new password sent to the email address connected to the account . You'll need to answer the security question you chose when creating your Second Life account. Be sure to check your junk mail/spam folder. If you can't recall the answer to your security question, or if you can't remember what e-mail address you used, just contact Customer Support, preferably by opening a support case. You'll be asked to verify your identity and, working together, we can reset your security question.

It sounds like you have a sick mouse. There's nothing in SL that will make it behave like that. Check to be sure that it has a fresh battery and that its lens (or ball) is clean. The button switch itself may be failing too. Fortunately, mice are cheap to replace. BTW, not that it has anything to do with your mouse, but your caps key seems to be stuck too. Toggle it a few times to clear it so that people won't mistake your capitlized text for rude shouting.

Bienvenu chez vous! Votre ordinateur doit marcher bien avec Second Life, mais le message que vous avez recu veut dire qu'il y a une probleme de connection entre l'ordinateur et les serveurs de Linden Lab. On peut essayez deux solutions: (1) Essayez de fermer votre ordinateur, débrancher le routeur et le modem pour un couple de minutes, puis les rebrancher et de redémarrer. Cette étape simple peut tout éclaircir (2) Ajouter les serveurs DNS publiques de Google à tout ce que votre FAI vous attribue comme valeur par défaut. Voyez ici, SVP >>> http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ (en Anglais, malheuresement.) Si aucune de ces idées fonctionne, cliquez sur le lien Options dans le coin supérieur droit de votre question et sélectionnez EDIT pour nous le faire savoir. SVP ne pas commencer un nouveau thread. EDIT: Je dois ajouter une petite note, qui n'a rien à voir avec le système DNS. Votre carte graphique est un bon, mais il ne dispose que de 256 MB de mémoire. En conséquence, il sera contraint de télécharger des textures souvent, de sorte que vous ferez l'expérience plus de lag que vous souhaitez. Si vous pouvez vous permettre le coût, il serait bon de le remplacer par une nouvelle carte avec plus de mémoire (au moins 512 MB).

If you are canceling a Premium account, be sure to sell or abandon all land you may own first. Go to your dashboard at secondlife.com and then to the Land Manager sidebar link. Check Group Land, My Mainland and My Regions to see what land Linden Lab still says you own. Once you are sure that you no longer own any, then go to the Land Use Fees link in that same menu and set yours to L$0. If you are a member of any groups that expect you to pay a share of group liabilities periodically, leave those groups. Then change your account from Premium to Basic. Those steps will guarantee that you will not be billed for any continuing costs. You then have two choices: 1. Close your account completely by clicking on the Account >> Cancel Account link in your dashboard's sidebar menu or 2. Just walk away. As Karen says, this is probably the smarter choice. It costs you nothing to keep a Basic account alive, but it costs you $9.95 to re-open one once it has been closed. You'd be surprised by how many people come back to SL after a few months (or more). If you haven't closed your account when you change your mind, your avatar and all your inventory will still be waiting fo you. (And any L$ that you forgot to take with you too.) :smileywink:

Karen is quite right.

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. You can sometimes appear to yourself (or others) wearing yesterday's clothes, or a bit of your home's wallpaper too. 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. It sounds like that's exactly what's happening in your case, in fact, so by doing the bake fail corrections you are addressing the symptoms, but not the problem behind them. 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. Then plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address. Come back here and ask more if those steps don't work. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

That's a never-ending quest and a frequent topic here. I don't know of a place where everything is summarized in one spot, so you have to pick up bits of knowledge one at a time. For example, in dealing with lists you will find this note in the LSL wiki: myList = llListReplaceList(myList, ["myString"], 2, 2); In the above code, we call llListReplaceList(), an innocent enough operation, however, due to the way passing of lists, and functions such as llListReplaceList(), llDeleteSubList(), llList2List() and llListSort() (and others), work, you can end up using two, three, or even four times the amount of memory required to store your list, just by calling that function! To avoid this problem, we can use a small piece of optimisation; if you know that the list you're passing into such a function will never be read again (for example if the result of the function will overwrite the list) then we can do this: myList = llListReplaceList((myList = []) + myList, ["myString"], 2, 2); The effect of this is to greatly reduce the memory usage, in both LSO-LSL and Mono VMs, and also reduce the fragmentation of memory.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do so let me give several answers... 1. If the object is no-transfer, that means that you cannot give it or sell it to anyone else, including a group. So, the "Share" option that you see on the General page when you select and edit the object will not be available. 2. You may be able to open your Friends list, select your friend, and click the little icon next to her name (second icon column) that gives your friend permission to edit your objects. (That gives her permission to edit EVERYTHING you own, though.) She'd be able to move the object around, but not wear it or put it in her inventory. 3. If the item is not no-transfer, then don't worry about it. Just leave permissions exactly the way ther are and transfer the object to your friend. Drag/drop it on her avatar, or drag/drop it into an IM to her, or whatever other method you like.

The way it's supposed to work is that you right click on your avatar and select Appearance >> Shape to go into appearance mode. In the extreme upper right corner of the window that opens is an icon that you can click to switch from male to female or vice versa. So, did you do that? If so, and if it didn't work, explain what else you have tried and what happened. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

Innula has a good idea. Another possibility is that you have a router or DNS problem. Those can create missing entries in Group and friends lists too sometimes. (1) Try shutting off your computer, unplugging the router and modem for a couple of minutes, and then plugging them back in and restarting. That simple step may clear up everything (2) Add Google's free public DNS servers to whatever your ISP assigns you as a default. instead. Here's how >>> http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/

1. All orders in my store transaction record are complete.... no "Delivery Pending" or "Failed Delivery" notes 2. Each matches a L$ entry in my Transaction History. 3. I've had no requests for redelivery and no angry or confused notes from customers. 4. In the absence of trouble signs, I assume things are OK. I am a card-carrying optimist. :smileywink:

Uh-oh. That doesn't happen often, but it's very annoying when it does. Here's the JIRA report, if you're interested >>> https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-28494 . The good news is that it can be cured. See here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/wearing_entire_inventory

I have never heard that this is possible, but try asking the LL billing office. They may be able to make provisions for payment by a third party under some circumstances. It can't hurt to ask. 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

Hmmm... I can understand the time being off by hours, because the timestamp is in SLT (Pacific time, USA) and you may be interpreting it as you local time zone. It's harder to explain why it's off by an extra 41 minutes, though. I suppose it's possible that LL took a server off line for a while and didn't send any saved IMs until it came back up later......... Just a guess.

I don't have any better idea than I had when the OP asked last month. I might understand if chat messages were being repeated, but repeated group notices don't make any sense to me. I cannot find any JIRA reports from other people who have had this problem either. Perhaps you should start one yourself..... go to https://jira.secondlife.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa and click the link in the extreme upper right corner that says "Create Issue." Then follow instructions. Supply as much information as you can so that the technicians know where to start looking for a solution.

There are very few books written about LSL and IMO, none are much good. They either presume too much or too litle, and they are out of date almost as fast as they are published. If you have any prior scripting experience at all, the best thing you can do is devote an hour or two a day to wading through the LSL wiki, re-familiarizing yourself with functions and seeing how many dozens of new ones have been added over the fast 2 or 3 years. If you have little or no experience, I suggest taking a class or two at Builders Brewery or Caledon Oxbridge University and then dedicating a block of time to dissecting and modifying freebie scripts until you start to get comfortable with the language. That will get the basics into your head. IMO, however, 90% of scripting is applied logic. Syntax is the relatively simple part -- the part that I don't bother committing to memory, other than the most common functions. The challenge and the fun of scripting is mapping out the logical flow of a script, forseeing each pitfall, and optimizing performance. You can't learn that stuff well from a book. You have to just do it. And pose questions here. That's what this forum is for.
