Restarting the sim is not likely to make any difference, so don't worry about that. If you have tried the recommended solution and it does not work for you, file a support ticket and wait patiently. By the time LL reviews your ticket, the problem will probably be fixed anyway >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Server/Deploys-for-the-week-of-2012-01-30/m-p/1359977

Be patient. If you have tried the recommended workaround and it has not worked, then LL will review your Support ticket as soon as they can. By the time they review it, however, the problem may be solved anyway. See >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Server/Deploys-for-the-week-of-2012-01-30/m-p/1359977 .

Chances are good that the problem lies with the SL servers or the voice provider, Vivox. Still, there are things you can try: What sometimes also helps to get voice working is disabling voice in Preferences → Sound & Media -> Voice Settings, hitting apply, waiting a minute and then enabling voice and hitting apply. When these methods fail (assuming voice usually works for you) it is usually the Vivox voice servers that are the problem.Try going to another region to see if voice works there. If so, then the issue is the region you were in before. Was voice disabled there? If not, a region restart might solve the problem.Try a relog, or even a reboot of the computer.Sometimes device settings can reset, so check in Preferences → Sound & Media -> Voice Settings → Audio Device Settings, to be sure that the input and output are set correctly.

That's maybe a good question for the General Discussion forum, but there's no answer, so we can't help. :smileywink:

SL's servers can handle more than one sim each. Lag on your sim might not be caused by anything on your sim at all, but by something that changed on another sim on the same servers (or, more likely, on the other 1/2 of the sim that you're on). Also, the number of prims on your 1/2 sim won't make any difference to lag. Prims that are just sitting there don't cause lag. Rezzing prims does, and so does moving them. What will make a difference is how many of those prims are physical, scripted, or (heaven forbid) temp rezzers.

You are charged for any land that you owned at any time during the last billing cycle, whether you still own it today or not. Your tier is based on the highest land ownership during the cycle.

Any prim can be a particle emitter. The eay way to find the right one is to edit linked parts. Move each linked prim individually and see when the particles respond.

Turn the emitter upside down. Particles always stream from the center of the emitter and along the +Z axis. You can also apply a negative acceleration along Z, but that's going to look a bit wonky, because the particles will be emitted and then whip around and head back the way they came.

That's a particle effect. If you aren't seeing it, then you have either disabled particles (toggle with CTRL + Shift + Alt + = ) or you have set your Maximum Particle Count (in Preferences >> Graphics) too low. It should be 4096 for normal use. There's also the possibility that your graphics quality slider is set to LOW, in which case particles are either disabled or greatly limited.

If you are using Phoenix, you can set Preferences >> Phoenix >> IM >> "Announce Incoming Instant Messages" . It's a clever option, triggered as soon as someone starts typing an IM intended for you. It's a little disconcerting for the sender, as you have noticed, but it gives you a few seconds to compose yourself and think of a witty repartee before the IM arrives. The Phoenix developers did not include that in the current release of Firestorm, and I am not aware of other viewers that have the feature.

So, what's your script meant to do? If you get a script error, then you're asking the script to do something impossible, like divide by zero. I can't see why that could make you crash, but then I don't know what you were trying to do either.

You have to make mesh objects outside of SL, using a program like Blender or Maya. Then you UPload it as a collada.dae file to SL. To do that. you need to have a V3 or Firestorm viewer and you have to be approved to upload mesh. See here >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh for more information to get you started. If you have other mesh questions, ask them in the Mesh forum.

We need to know a lot more about your computer, which viewer you are using, and what happens when it "won't open" before we can offer any advice at all. You can add important information to your question by clicking on the Options link in its upper right corner and selecting EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

If SL is actually crashing -- that is, it is not giving you error messages, but is just dumping you out -- then there's a very good possibility that your computer is overheating, or at least your graphics card is. Heat can cause very expensive damage, so do maintenance every month or two to be sure that it is clean. Open the case and use a can of air to blow out all accumulated dust bunnies and cat hair. Check to be sure that all fans spin freely. Be sure that there is more than adequate ventilation around the computer at all times. Check on line for free software that will monitor your computer's working temperature and vary the fans speeds accordingly. If your comuter is a laptop, you may need to take it to a professional to have it cleaned and its fans checked.

If they were delivered, they are in your inventory, although maybe not where you expect to see them. Open the "Recent" tab to see what has been added recently. You may have to click the + sign and "Show Filters" if "recent" is more than a day old or so. If your Transaction History in Marketplace says that they were delivered but you really can't find them, then clear your cache to force your viewer to rebuild a local copy of inventory from SL's servers. If they still don't show up, copy the details of your purchase out of your Transaction History and send a polite note (IM or notecard) to the merchant, explaining the non-delivery and showing the details. If the merchant doesn't send you a new copy within a few days, file a support ticket and ask LL for help.

From http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Maturity-ratings/ta-p/700119 >>> "Dance clubs that feature "burlesque" acts can also generally reside in Moderate regions as long as they don't promote sexual conduct, for instance through pose balls (whether in "backrooms" or more visible spaces)."

If a resizer script does nothing more than resize, it's pretty worthless. After all, so long as the object has mod perms, any fool can resize it with the Build/Edit tool by just grabbing one of the white boxes and yanking. If the item is no mod, you probably don't want to buy it. The real trick is reshaping and repositioning. There aren't many resizer scripts that let you do that, and most are necessarily custom-designed for the particular item.

Keep trying it. Patience. And when you DO finally get on, be sure to TP to the sim where you logged off (or crashed) before. That step is necessary, to get rid of the ghost. If all else fails, contact Live Chat if you are Premium member or file a support ticket if you are Basic. Or wait a few days. LL is apparently putting a fix into the next rollout of server upgrades in mid-week.

I think that's long gone.

This should be a question for the LSL Scripting forum, but the answer is very simple -- assuming that you are a scripter. llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast ( link_number, [ PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES, intensity ] ); where link_number is the number of the link you want to make glow, and intensity is a float between 0.0 and 1.0. If you are not a scripter, do not post the question in the Scripting forum. Put it in Wanted instead.

Find a bald cap and wear it. There ought to be one among the standard issue items in Library folders in your inventory. If not, visit freebie shops and pick up free hair untill you find one that com with a bald cap. A bald cap covers or replaces system hair, making you ..... well .... bald. Then you can wear prim hair over it and you won't have the old, ugly stuff peeking out from under it.

Restarting the sim will make no difference, so don't worry about that. See >>> http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2012/01/28/post1553/ . The only thing I would add to the advice there is that even after you have managed to log back in, you will still be ghosted until you return to the sim where you logged out (or crashed from) last time. Returning to that sim should force the servers to recognize the real YOU and boot the ghost. The good news (almost) is that LL is likely to have a fix in the next server rollout this week. If your ghost isn't exorcized by then, she should be.

Loading up? Do you mean that it is a white cloud? 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 file. 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 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.

Start here >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-land/ta-p/700043 and keep reading embedded links until you get tired. Most of your basic questions will be answered there. You may discover, in retrospect, that you should have bought a different house, depending on how big it is and how many prims it has. A plot of land can only support a fixed number of prims (house, furnishing, trees, .... everything), so the general rule of thumb is to buy or build a home that uses no more than about 1/3 to 1/2 of the allowed prims on land that you can afford. For example, if you use your free Premium tier to pay for the land fees on a 512 sq m plot of land, you will have a prim allowance of 117 prims. That means that your house should probably use 58 prims or fewer, in order to leave something for funiture and whatever.

Restarting the sim won't do it. See >>> http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2012/01/28/post1553/ . This is a current bug. Linden Lab is aware of it and will probably have a fix in the next server rollout. Until then, follow the instructions in that Grid Report or contact Live Chat.
