You can't. And you better be glad that nobody can. Someday you might be filing an AR on a griefer yourself. Would you like it if he could find out who YOU were?

See Irene's flawless answer to the identical question here just 6 hours ago >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Account/Why-its-not-possible-for-me-to-choose-all-the-houses-in-time-to/qaq-p/1450155

If you can't recall the answer to your security question, 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.

That's a problem with OpenGL support in Mac OSx 10.5.8 (leopard) . See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Viewer/Yet-another-alpha-texture-thread-Slightly-different-though/td-p/1409799 and https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SH-2679? . Apparently, the only way to solve it is to upgrade your OS to 10.6 or 10.7.

Your RL identity is hidden unless you reveal it on purpose. That's in the TOS. The best you can do to hide your SL self is to make all your privacy settings as restrictive as possible. Choose "Nobody" or "Friends Only" whenever those choices are available. Then, don't list ANY interests. In the end, of course, there's no way to hide in SL unless you buy a private sim, turn off all access rights so people can't TP in, and then never leave it yourself. But then why would you come to SL?

Not while I am there.

Well, you can try appealing to the merchant's good nature (or good sense of humor) and see if he will refund your second purchase price. That might work, especially if the item was sold with copy perms. Ask politely and include all the purchase information from your Transaction History.

Well, something has to trigger it, even if that something is you. You can trigger with a timer, with a sensor, with a collision, with a chat message (sent any number of ways), or by wearing it, rezzing it, moving it, sitting on it, ..... (geez, how many ways?)... or you can put virtually all the innards of the script into the state_entry event so that they start when the script is reset and they never stop. In general, I see little reason to have a script doing things while there's nobody around (if a tree falls in the forest .... ), but sometimes that's the actually the best solution.

There has been an unresolved JIRA on failed gifting from Marketplace for about a year now >>> https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-3864 . I notice, however, that one of the last people to post in it has included a workaround that seems to solve the problem. Marketplace apparently looks for the name of a recipient in its own records before making a delivery. If the recipient has never bought anything in Marketplace, however, the name is not in its records, so the delivery fails. The cure is to have the person you are sending a gift to buy something -- ANYTHING -- first. I suggest having her buy one of the new free Linden Bears >>> https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Direct-Delivery-Linden-Bear/3290638?utm_source=Marketplace&utm_medium=Banner&utm_campaign=DD_Bear_2012 That will not only probably solve the delivery problem , but it will also add the new Received Items folder to her Inventory -- necessary if she is going to receive Direct Delivery items in the future.

Please read http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Clarification_of_policy_disallowing_ageplay. In particular, note that Linden Lab advises, "If you are in doubt as to whether an activity may be interpreted as ageplay, we request you err on the side of caution and desist"

There are only two classes of membership in Second Life (well, OK, there are a couple of "corporate" classes, but really .....): Basic and Premium. Basic members do not pay a fee, Premium members do. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Accounts-overview/ta-p/700019#Section_.2 to review the differences between them. The only other sense in which there are different "classes" of avatar has to do with maturity. Because areas in SL can be designated General, Mature, or Adult, people can have different degrees of access to them. Your RL age is what makes the difference there. Again, read http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Maturity-ratings/ta-p/700119. The most important thing to remember is that Second Life is not a game. You cannot earn points to become a higher ranked avatar. There is no prize for reaching a goal. There is no "quest". There's no bonus for killing extra dragons or finding a hidden pot of gold. There are certainly places where you can do all of those things if you want to, but they are IN Second Life. Second Life is .... well, a second life. You decide what to do, how to earn and spend money, whether to own property, and who to hang around with. Like any society, there are informal local rules about how to get along with other people, which means that you will find a local pecking order too. Getting "upgraded" among your neighbors depends on how well you work and play together.

YES!

One hope one of our own replies doesn't make the list. I vote for bees too, but this one and the follow-up are in the running.

Your message stopped just before you got to the question, so we don't know what you were going to ask. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to tell us the rest of your messsage. Please do NOT start a new thread.

Select one with your Build/Edit tool (CTRL + 3), then hold down your Shift key and select the other one. Then type CTRL + L to link them. The last one you selected will be the root prim of the new linkset. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Build-Tools/ta-p/700039 for more information and plan on visiting the Ivory Tower of prims in world.

Many (most?) landowners in SL activate at least one system in About Land to keep visitors from leaving objects that use up the landowner's prim allowance. You can usually wander into someone else's land while you are wearing or riding on primmy things, but as soon as you are no longer connected to them, they count against the landowner's total (and, in fact, might exceed his allowance and make the servers return some of his own objects). Hence the autoreturn. If you want to sail your beautiful yacht, you either need to stay on board (and logged in), or you have to leave it someplace where you either own the land or have mooring rights. To put it simply, you're SOL.

The best guess I can give about the font that's being used is at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/UI_Widgets, where it says font="SanSerifSmall" // sets the font used for any text used by the widget. 99% of these in the viewer are SanSerif and SanSerifSmall [my emphasis] Hover text does look like SanSerif, so that's probably right. I'm not sure how that helps in your quest for left-justification, however. The only way I know of to change left-right placement of hover text (centered by default) is to pack it with spaces or non-printing characters.

Your item is "charging"? What sort of item is it, and where is it charging? Sorry, but there seems to be something missing here. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to add more infomation. Please do NOT start a new thread.

Nope. Whenever your avatar's appearance is a fuzzy cloud, a white blob, a mix of odd textures, or whatever, it's because there was incomplete communication betweeen your computer and LL's servers. The baking process involves the servers and your viewer trading information back and forth several times, so there's more than one chance for things to get borked. Depending on when the error was created, you might be able to see yourself just fine (and others see you as a cloud) or you might see yourself as a cloud (and others see you just fine). I have this same experience with my alt sometimes. She'll look fine to me but she'll be a cloud when I look through her own eyes. All you can do is follow the general bake fail suggestions on whichever account is the one with the cloudy appearance. Here they are >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_bake_fail .

Yup, you have to wait for certain options to be available. It shouldn't be long. People abandon Linden Homes all the time and move on to other properties. Also, LL tries to track demand for different styles and add more as the supply for particular ones runs low. Keep checking back. Until then, take up temporary residence in some quiet sim where some group you belong to has property. That will give you a friendly place to login while you are waiting for your dream house. :smileywink:

Five days is the norm. A week and a half is not good. Something is wrong. The only way you're going to get it sorted out is with Linden Lab's billing office, I'm afraid. There's not a thing that anyone here can do, since we're all SL residents like you. If I were you, I would keep calling the billing office politely and insistently until you get someone who can figure out what's happening. If you have all of your records and have been keeping track of the people you've contacted there and at PayPal, something ought to break loose for you. I hope.

The two problems are probably related. You're still a cloud until your viewer and SL's servers finish talking to each other and you're really in world, and Firestorm can't create a bridge until you are either. So my guess is that the real problem is getting a nice, solid connection to the servers. I know it's pretty biolerplate advic, but try rebooting your router to clear its RAM and get a fresh grasp on an IP address. If you've been using wireless, get off it and make a direct cable connection. Those two steps might be all that it takes. If not, take a look at Nalates's summary of things you can do to troubleshoot your connection and improve your login. BTW, See also http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_bake_fail :smileywink:

Viewers play a minor part in voice functionality. The bulk of voice support is given by the external application called SLVoice, which is made by the SL voice provider, Vivox. Voice failures are almost always due to one of the following reasons: Your ISP is throttling or blocking the voice service; failure of the Vivox service; voice issues on the region you are on; voice being throttled by bandwidth set incorrectly - please check it by following the instructions here; voice hardware (mic, headset) not configured correctly in your operating system settings; voice hardware not configured correctly in the viewer; another application has your voice hardware in use (example, Skype); your anti virus software has “mangled” the voice application; see here. You can test voice by going to Voice Echo Canyon. If voice is working correctly for you, anything you say there will be echoed back to you.
