If you are the last man standing, the group will automatically vanish within 48 hours. You can't have a group with only one person in it.

Highly unlikely, especially now that creators can make their own mesh avatars. We have been complaining about the avatar mesh in SL since Day One. Everyone agrees that it was a bad design. At this point, however, there are hundreds of thousands of us running around with avatars based on that mesh, and there is a decade's worth of merchandise (clothing, skins, shapes, ....) that was created for that mesh. If Linden Lab suddenly changed the basic avatar mesh now, for example, I would have to completely redraw and upload every dress and blouse in my shop --- at great expense and with a huge loss of time --- and I'm a small shop owner. The upheaval would be just as bad for consumers, since they would suddenly find that there's almost no clothing made for their new mesh bodies. (EDIT: Incidentally, that's why I suspect it will be a long time before customized mesh avatars will be much more than a niche market too. Customized mesh avatars need customized clothes, and there's not much of it for any specific avatar. That's a good discussion for the General Discussion forum, though, not Answers. :smileywink: ) The bottom line >>> We all agree that the basic avatar mesh was a bad design from the start, but don't expect it to change now.

It IS just the way animations work. Animations are all executed locally, on your own computer. If there's any lag in your own connection or on the Internet, an animation may delay slightly after the servers trigger it. On really laggy days, you might slide quite a bit.

You should be able to simply set the quantity for each item to zero, as Ansariel suggests. You might also try using a different web browser. Switch to Firefox or Chrome, for example. IE doesn't behave very well on SL web sites. BTW, Lindal is also giving good advice. The shopping cart tends to get confused if it has to deal with more than a few items. I never put more than one or two things in it myself. (In fact, I almost always use the Buy Now button, as Lindal suggests, or I simply use Marketplace as a catalog and then buy things in world instead.)

The only thing I can think of is to file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ . Choose the option Account Issue >> I believe my account has been compromised. Linden Lab will freeze your account for a few days while they investigate. They will ask you to verify your identity by providing several pieces of RL information. When they reinstate your account, be VERY sure to change your password and e-mail immmediately, and do not share them with anyone again.

I suggest doing a clean reinstall instead of trying to download on top of whatever is already on your computer. The instructions here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_clean_reinstall were written for Firestorm users, but the procedure is the same for any SL viewer. Basically, deleteing the viewer's EXE file, or simply overwriting it leaves your user settings and other files intact. Removing them completely means starting with a fresh slate. As you reinstall, be sure once again that you have made exceptions in your firewall and antivirus proigrams for your viewer's exe file and for SLVoice.exe. Norton's utilities are particularly unfriendly to SL.

I'm shooting in the dark here. Your laptop is probably marginally OK for SL, although I do worry about the integrated chipset. Depending on exactly which chip it is, that has been a problem for many SL residents. An actual video card is much preferable. Be sure that your drivers are up to date, because that can be a problem regardless of which video card or chip you have.

Please go to Intel's site and select the appropriate download.Being able to play online games is no guarantee that you can run SL on your machine. SL's graphics are based on OpenGL, not DirectX, and its virtual environment is updated continuously rather than being static like most games. That put a lot more stress on your graphics system. Check your router too. Try bypassing it temporarily by plugging your computer's Internet cable directly into the modem to see if that improves things. If so, then you need to at least reboot the router and possibly think about updating its firmware.

And did you also forget to upgrade Phoenix to 1.6.1.1691, like the OP?

Make the track as a simple cylindrical sculpty or mesh object (or a less inspired but even simpler hollow, stretched cylindrical prim), apply a tread texture to it, and animate it with llSetTextureAnim. Since the treads don't actually move the vehicle, you just have to do a convincing job of texturing and animating them.

Welcome to Second Life! Check the Library >> Clothing folder in your inventory. You'll find a large selection of outifts, some of which include non-modesty skins. You can also find skins throughout SL, ranging in price from L$0 to several thousand L$, almost none of which have underwear painted on them.

We can't do a thing to return your L$ or redeliver your purchases. We're all SL residents like you, not Lindens. To get a record of the individual items in your order, open Marketplace and click the My Marketplace menu at the top of the page. Select My Account >> Order History from the pulldown menu. If you do not receive items within about 24 hours, you should cut and paste the information about a missing item from that Order History and send it in a IM or notecard to the merchant, along with a polite message (NO SHOUTING)requesting redelivery. Most merchants are very kind and willing to redeliver. This happens all the time and they are aware of it. Do be patient, though. Not everyone logs in to SL every day or checks their e-mail. If you still haven't heard in another day or two, follow it up with a second polite note (STILL NO SHOUTING) and finally, if you STILL haven't heard, file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ , selecting Marketplace from the pulldown menu.

That depends on the RP sim. How big is the weapon? :matte-motes-nerdy:

Yes, it would be great to be able to attach things out of a HUD, but that's not the way SL (or LSL) works. You have to rez them, then attach them, and (when you're done) detach them. That means that you get an extra copy in your OWN inventory every time, because there's no way to detach the object back into the HUD. A couple of the new tools that LL has developed for use in Linden Realms will be able to solve part of that problem, so that copies don't pile up in your inventory, but you'll still have to rez and then attach.

No. You can configure some joysticks for use as control devices, but you'll have to do a lot of experimentation >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Flycam . Basically, SL is not a game so it's not set up for it.

The only "almost foolproof " way to keep a skateboard on a rail, a toboggan in a track, or a kid on a waterslide is to raise the sides. Make an invisible tunnel to keep from falling off. Balancing is virtually impossible (or is it "virtual balancing is impossible"?).

Why does that keep you from editing the prims? The only thing that matters is the permissions set on them. If you check the Edit Linked box, then you should be able to edit any individual prim in a linkset, if you have mod perms, regardless of what those fields say. If you do not have mod perms, then no, you can't unlink or edit the object or its individual prims.

CTRL + P when you are either in world or on your login screen.

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. If you are seeing it as a solid oval instead of a cloud, it's because you have also turned off particles (Turn them back on with CTRL+Shift+Alt+=). 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 possibilitites 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.

4.0.1 is not Phoenix. It is Firestorm. Anyway, you will usually get that message if SL's servers really are having a problem with your files. You might have better luck if you simply move to a different sim and try again. However, I suspect that there's actually something wrong with the files themselves. That's the problem on those rare occasions when I get that error. You can only upload images in TGA, PNG, JPG, or BMP format. Any others will hang up and refuse to upload. The software you are using to process images on your computer may also have introduced some funky information too. Finally, you might try rebooting your router, on the off chance that it is somehow misbehaving and needs a swift kick.
