And you have rebooted your router, right? Just unplug it for a few minutes and plug it back in. Sometimes routers can be touchy.

Yup. true. It doesn't hurt to shoot low and then increase bandwidth again if your connection can handle it.

I have never bought a pre-loaded AO, because I have never seen one that didn't include a mess of animations that I don't want and wouldn't care to pay for. I always buy anims separately and then load them into an AO. These days, I think the best option is to use a viewer like Firestorm or Phoenix that has a built-in AO. That way, you don't need to waste space on your screen for an unnecessary HUD, and you end up wearing one less script (which reduces your own lag when you TP). The Firestorm AO is very easy to use. Essentially, you just open its control panel and drop your anims in. You can mess with them to change the order in which they play or how fast they change, but the thing works fine even if you don't do any of that.

It's not completely clear to me what the problem is, except that you can't log on. Are you getting an error message of some kind? Something that suggests that this is a DNS problem, maybe? If it is a DNS problem, you might try changing your DNS settings. Instead of using whatever your ISP gives you by default, try using Google's free pblic DNS servers. The instructions for making that change are here >>> http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ .

I agree. The Permalinks are a real mess. I have to open each permalink separately to see whether there is something there. OPs sometimes respond to our requests for more information by burying them in permalinks, where they are invisible. Actually, if an OP updates the question itself, following our instructions about Options >> Edit, I have found that the update isn't sent to my e-mail either, so I don't know that it's there. It makes answering questions very difficult.

That sounds like the bug described at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SH-2668 . Take a look and see. According to the most recently notes in that JIRA, it has apparently been fixed for the latest release of LL's V3 viewer and is included in the upcoming release of Firestorm, but will still affect older viewers.

To be perfectly clear, I am NOT a LL employee. All of us here in this forum are SL residents, just like you. Our only claim to expertise, if we have any at all, is that we have been around long enough to make our own mistakes a few times and have figured out how to extricate ourselves. Other than that, all we can do is point to resources in world and on various web sites and forums.

There are few guarantees in life. In four and a half years, I have never had a problem in SL that I could not solve by myself or with the help of friends or experts in this forum. There are some issues that only LL can deal with, however. If objects are absolutely gone - not rezzed and not in your inventory -- then only LL will have a chance at retrieving them. Take another look at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Lost_inventory to be sure that you have tried everything that you can. After that, you'll have to decide what to do. All we can do is lay out the options.

The support service doesn't want to help because you are not a Premium member. Basic members get some limited support for non-technical issues, but that's all.. This is probably the best reason -- in my own mind, the only reason -- for paying for a Premium membership in SL. It may be worth it to pay for Premium membership for one month now, if your coalesced object contained irreplaceable or expensive items.

You shouldn't need to do anything fancy at all unless your machine is behind a corporate firewall. If you are still having firewall troubles chek these two sites .... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Configuring_your_firewall (You'll find ports and IP addresses here) and http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=as_anti-virus_white_listing_steps (in case antivirus routines are also an issue). ETA: I didn't notice that you had already posted this question as http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Coudl-someone-advise-how-to-get-this-working-with-trend-iwss/qaq-p/1222987 and that Cinn had given you the same advice there. If you are still having problems, please do NOT start a new thread. Add new information to your original question by clicking on the Options link in its upper right corner and selecting EDIT.

It's too late for the advice now, but please remember for the next time..... Before you rez any coalesced object, be sure to open your Build Edit tool (CTRL + 3). If you forget to do that, the object will rez as a bunch of unconnected objects. Some of them might be underground, some might be inside nearby objects, and some may be outside your parcel. It's a recipe for losing items or (if you are slightly luckier) having them returned by your neighbor. So long as you have the Build Edit tool open, though, you can move the entire collection of objects as a single entity, using the red-green-blue arrows. If you discover that you have made a ghastly mistake, you can also still take the coalesced object back to your inventory again. No loss. Once you are sure that all parts are accounted for, then you can close the tool.

(1) Bad microphone wires or switch? (2) Intermittent Internet connection? (Reboot your router by unplugging it from the power for a few minues.) (3) Inappropriate MaximumBandwidth setting? [This is the big reason] >>> Many people set the Maximum Bandwidth slider waaaay too high. For normal use, a setting of 1,500 or less is best. If you have your Maximum Bandwidth set to allow using most or all of your real bandwidth (the connection speed,) you are telling the simulators to use “the whole pipe, as best they can” to shove geometry, texture and control data back to your viewer. There is a problem with this strategy, though. It doesn’t leave any space for audio, music, video or voice! Remember that those types of traffic are separate from the Maximum Bandwidth control. In this case, you should try reducing the Maximum Bandwidth, sometimes “mightily”! If you are on, for instance, a connection that provides only 500 kbps of throughput and voice is not working at all, or is very choppy, you may want to try running Maximum Bandwidth at 400, or even 300 kbps. This will make things rez more slowly and movement will be slower, but it may tame the geometry and texture traffic enough to let voice keep the connection live. (4) WiFi interference? Many SL residents find wireless connections to be very problematic. They are subject to interference from cell phones, garage door openers, and other electronic devices, and they lose bandwidth to other users. (5) Other programs on your computer? E-mail, anti-virus, Microsoft updates, and other routines on your computer that claim some of your Internet service will make voice choppy.

Not only that, but the Community Guidelines (link at the upper right corner of the screen here) explicit say "No advertising or promotion of specific Second Life merchants, Marketplace listings, products, or services, unless the forum area is specifically for the buying or selling of Second Life products or services, for example, a “for sale” or “wanted” forum. Do not reference other websites offering any product or service."

There are two possibilities. If you have been using the Phoenicx viewer and have derendered things with their funtion, do this ... To rerender it you need to remove it from the blacklist. Access the Asset Blacklist from the Phoenix menu at the top of your screen. Click on the item you want to rerender, note avatars show as objects. Click the Remove button. Change your group tag, or teleport out and back. The object, or avatar will render in a few seconds. The other possibility is that you have accidentally turned off some of the render toggles in your Advanced menu (CTRL + Alt + D). Select Rendering Types and look to see if any of them are UNchecked. If so, activate them again. Unfortunately, it's easy to toggle them accidentally from the keyboard. They are all CTRL + Shift + Alt + a number.

This site doesn't have rooms. You are in a Q&A forum and we are all SL residents like you. If you have a question, we will be glad to help answer it. Tell us -- calmly -- what you are trying to do. It would also be helpful to tell us what sort of computer you are using, what kind of internet connection, what graphics card, and which SL viewer you are using. If you have received any error messages, those would help too. Please do NOT start a new thread. Just click the Options link in the upper right corner of your question here and select EDIT.

If he has payment information on file, put money into whatever account it taps. LL will get it directly from there.

Anyone can find when you are on line. You can't prevent that. It's public information that's accessible with a simple LSL script. That's the way all of the message boards you see in shops work "The owner is not on line at the moment. Click here to leave a message" or "The owner IS on line. Click here to ask a question."

( they are not responding ) I also contact there telephone number ( It says on the telephone number description that its not Secondlife concern something like that ) Thats why i posted it here. Right. You shouldn't expect them to answer this question at the telephone number. That's for billing questions only. You have to send your support ticket to https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ . Select Account Issue from the pulldown menu in that page. Include all of your account information and be very clear about the problem so that they understand what you are asking for. If you have sent them a support ticket before, include the reference # for that ticklet as well.

The best ways to find a script are (1) Search in script libraries in world and on line (2) Search in Marketplace (3) Post your request in the Wanted section of the Commerce forum, here >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Wanted/bd-p/Wanted

That error usually means that you have been banned from SL. You should have received an e-mail from LL, but you have probably long since erased it. These messages generally indicate you have been blocked from the Second Life servers by Linden Lab as the result of: Documented cases of fraud Use of Second Life by a minor Exceptionally flagrant abuse activity Note that someone else in your household may be responsible for this activity, not necessariliy with your account. If you believe that this is an error, submit a support ticket via the support portal. To help customer support determine what block has been placed and why, include in the ticket your Second Life account name and any Second Life accounts that log in from your location.

It's probably not hard to fix. The trrick is that a UUID is treated as if it were a string variable in LSL. That means that when you cut & paste it into the script the way you did, it has to be in quotes. So, it should look like this .... "a822ff2b-ff02-461d-b45d-dcd10a2de0c2" , not like this ....a822ff2b-ff02-461d-b45d-dcd10a2de0c2 .

I'm afraid that Areil has it exactly right. You have been robbed, but it's your own fault. Nobody can take L$ from you without your permission. In order for a script to take money, it has to open an obvious box on your screen with a pair of big buttons that give you a chance to Grant or Deny permission. There's no way to write a script that gets around that box. If you don't read the clear message and you still click the Grant button, you have given away your L$. You can file an AR, and LL might be able to ban the guy who gave you the object, but don't expect to get your money back.

Since CR was not paying for land, (my understanding from CR is she paid a hefty price for this land) and was behind on prim payments I would think the LL would've given the option to sell the land to make up for the arrears, but again I don't understand how this works, how can you purchase land from someone who is effectively "renting' themselves? This sounds shady to me, but again I admit I'm not well versed in this, so that's why I posed the question here...Your response would work well If I needed a lesson in becoming a landlord, I'm asking I guess from the tenant side, but again I thank you immensely for your response... To be a knowledgable tenant, you have to know something about how the landlord's business works. That's why I bothered to explain. The point is that CR does not "own" the land at all. As I explained, the only owner is the landlord, and he is only actually renting it from LL. CR's landlord may have offered her a one-time "set-up" fee and then be charging her a monthly prim fee after that, but she is still on his region, paying a fee for continued use of the land. If she doesn't keep up her end of the bargain by paying that fee, the landlord can look for another tenant who will. He still has his own rent to pay to LL. (In fact, the deal he offered to CR is similar to the deal that LL made with him. He paid a one-time fee to "buy" the sim and is obliged to pay LL a monthly land use fee to stay on it.) Yes, the arrangement is ripe for abuse, and a mercifully small number of landlords do abuse it. You make your own decisions about whom to trust and what risks you are willing to take. Personally, I think CR got a pretty good deal and it sounds as if the landlord did cut her some slack for a while.

I'll answer the philosophical part of your question separately. "Lastly, but this may be rhetorical at best, why make these beautiful items with scripts if they're known to be complicit in causing lag, why make items with resize scripts at all, why not make the item modifiable? I know some things require scripts but what is the happy medium between not being a contributor of lag and script errors and owning beautiful items that require scripts ?" It's true that scripts contribute to lag, but it's a little unfair to go overboard and avoid necessary scripts. Without scripts, after all, we'd have no AOs to control our animations, no HUDs to control vehicles or help us fly above the 300m ceiling,..... It's wise to avoid wearing unnecessary scripts, though. Resizers are in a murky category. Personally, I don't use them because (1) they resize things but can't reshape them to fit my body better and (2) I find it a lot easier to hop up on a pose stand and make alterations myself in a couple of minutes. Many SL residents don't care to learn to do their own alterations, though, or don't want to spend valuable time fiddling with them. Resizers are "necessary" convenience for them. One rational solution is to sell clothing and hair with copy perms that include self-deleting resizer scripts. That way, creators can retain some control over the types of modifications that they allow, and buyers can get rid of the scripts when they don't need them any more. Many creators do exactly that. My own solution, as a clothing designer, is not to offer resizing scripts at all, and to sell everything with copy/mod perms.

There are many good scrubber scripts around SL. The best ones are free, so don't pay good money for one. See >> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Library/Script-Remover-for-Linksets/td-p/721141 and >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Scripting-Library/Zen-Scrubber/td-p/236177 Scrubbers will remove all traces of other scripts, and can reset prim properties that are normally set by scripts (particle effects, for example). They cannot do anything at all if you drop them in a no-mod object, however. After all, no mod means NO mod, including removing scripts. Also, when they remove scripts, they eliminate them completely. They don't just move them to your inventory. If your object was no-copy, you'd have no backup --- no way to replace the scrubbed scripts if you wanted to. So ..... (1) If you have copy perms on an object, make a copy and scrub it after you have done any resizing or color changes that you needed its scripts for. (2) If you do not have opy perms, do not use a scrubber. Instead, do any resizing and recoloring and then manually drag/drop its scripts to a backup folder in your own inventory and delete them from the object. (3) If the object is no-mod, forget any of this. You can't do a thing. Finally, the way to find out if a script is safe to remove, is to remove it and find out. If you're working with a copy and you screwed it up, there's no loss. If you have dragged the scripts out of a no-copy object and you regret it, drag them back in. Again, no loss.
