Yeah, it's a scam. You can erase it safely. 😎

That doesn't look like it is about fixes, but more requesting changes, which is probably a hint to make a jira if you want to request changes.. That's exactly what it looks like. Nothing new. Just "If you really want to request a feature change, submit a JIRA. Don't expect Lindens to notice a request in the forums." The thread was basically a discussion of the OP's rant, but it was peppered with tags for various Lindens, which are a waste of time and have to be mildly annoying. So that part of the message was a throwaway note to the OP, not a new "rule".

Ranch homes are designed for Premium Plus members. They each are on 32m x 64m (2048m2) parcels. Anywhere in SL, a 2048 sq m parcel has a base capacity of 468 L.I.

Veggies are ( mostly ) pretty safe FOODS

Still, where IS your parcel?

Where?

Wait ... you JUST changed to Premium? Then how did you have a Linden Home before now? Linden Homes are only available to Premium members.

Sure. It's easy. If you like your parcel but you just want to try a different style of home in the same theme, just click on your house controller (mailbox) out in front of the home and select a house from the menu. If you want to try a different theme or just have different neighbors, you'll have to abandon your parcel (open About Land and click the Abandon Land button) and then request a new Linden Home on the web site, the same way you requested the home you have right now. (Before you abandon the parcel, though, please remember to pick up all your stuff. )

You can also read some of the suggestions in the DOORS sticky thread at the top of this forum.

Oops, typed too fast and didn't proofread.

As a Premium member, you receive a waiver for the monthly fees on a 512 sq m parcel. You may use that waiver and apply it toward t\he monthly fees on an parcel of land that you own on the mainland OR you may choose to select a Linden Home, which is on its own parcel. If you choose the first option, you must first BUY land (paying whatever purchase price the seller is asking). If you choose the second option, your waiver covers the monthly fees for the parcel and you get a FREE house on the parcel. See details at

That's probably very wise, and it certainly would reduce clutter. I have a hard time doing this for people I have been close to, though. I have a hard time believing in an afterlife, but I do have a strong feeling that we are "alive" as long as someone remembers us. My parents and grandparents are alive in my mind, and I hope I remain alive to some people well after I am gone. It's not nostalgia in the wistful sense; it's hard to explain. Somehow, removing a person from my friends list just because she has passed on in RL shuts a door that I don't want closed.

When Support gets back to you, their first question will be "Do you have the same problem when you use the standard LL viewer?" If you haven't already tested, you should do that so you have an answer ready for them.

Yes. I should have said this in my own post earlier. I still have quite a few people on my friends list that I will never see again because they have passed on in RL. A surprising number were younger than I am, which is a sobering thought. I miss some of them very much, remembering the places we explored together, the things we built, and the long conversations that filled our evenings.

You could submit a Support Case or, if you are a Premium member, contact Live Chat. It seems odd that LL would block their service ... more likely that they would block your own account for some reason, but you would probably know if you had been IP banned. It occurs to me that there's another technical possibility. If your new ISP is using a satellite connection instead of cable or fiber, you could have a very long signal delay so that those startup downloads are timing out.

It does sound like an Internet issue, so I would suspect the new ISP. When you get that message about region capabilities, it's telling you that it's taking way too long to download basic startup files from the SL servers (now AWS). That means your avatar appearance files, inventory, group information, and a lot of other things that need to be refreshed as you log in are stuck somewhere in the pipeline. If the block was on LL's end, we would see a huge wave of residents complaining about logins and there would probably be a message on the Grid Status Blog. Since those things are not happening, the slowdown has to be elsewhere ... your ISP or your own computer and its connection.

I was learning at a fantastic pace during my first three or four years in SL. Everything was new to me. I had to pick up building and texturing skills that I never knew even existed, and I had to learn LSL ( a very different sort of scripting environment than I had ever known). I had some highly talented mentors like Void Singer, but most of the people I learned from were barely more experienced than I was. It was all very heady. As time has gone on, much of what I learned back then has become "old hat" or has become obsolete knowledge. LL has added new features and tools at an accelerating rate, so it's still an exciting race to keep up with everything. At the same time, though, I find myself in a paradoxical spot. I am now one of the "old hands" who mentors newcomers but I have also hit my own limits so I don't understand some of the new features and probably never will. In an odd way, my SL has developed some gray, fuzzy "unknown" territories; years ago, the unknown territories were all hazy but well-lighted and welcoming. All of this says much more about me than about SL, of course. After all, I can say exactly the same things about RL.

To save yourself a LOT of trouble, always build with the root prim's +Z axis pointing UP and its +X axis facing FORWARD. When you set the object to ZERO_ROTATION, it will be standing up and facing East.

As always, the Knowledge Base is a good place to start reviewing basic information. Look for articles about Buying and Selling in SL, possibly beginning with this one:

Oh, that's pretty much a given. We may be crazy but we're not stupid enough to hang around on a glowing cinder. And we're ornery enough to find someplace else to carry on our greedy whining.

And to cap off an eclectic playlist for the evening.... Vertigo : Béla Fleck (feat. Sam Bush, Bryan Sutton, Edgar Meyer & Stuart Duncan) I'm not a fan of bluegrass, but I do make an exception for Bela Fleck.

You're probably right. That's the problem with posing a response off the cuff too close to bedtime, without taking the time to go in world to see if physics agrees with your brain. Your solution does look more plausible. Still, the magic is in llRotBetween. That's where the OP has to do his own experiments.

Unpopular Opinion: Customers are self-entitled whiners that don't deserve nice things. Unpopular Opinion: The human race is doomed. Unpopular opinion: Greedy creators and whiny customers are in near-perfect balance. If creators were less greedy, customers would have less to whine about. If customers were whinier, creators would be less sympathetic and more likely to think only of themselves. Thus (the ultimate unpopular opinion), creators and customers are feeding off each other, each getting exactly what they expect. The human race is likely to survive until the sun turns dark. 🙃

So, ... Step 1: You rez the object, setting it to ZERO_ROTATION on rez (using llRezAtRoot, that's the rotation parameter) Step 2: On Rez, you quickly locate the object's owner. One fast way to do that is to ask vector OwnerPos = llList2Vector(llGetObjectDetails( llGetOwner(),[OBJECT_POS]), 0); Step 3: Adjust the Z value of OwnerPos to be the same as the Z value of llGetPos() (that is, the object's own position on rez). This will make the object keep its Z-axis vertical as it rotates. Step 4: Rotate the rezzed object to face the owner with llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_ROTATION,llRotBetween( llGetPos(), CorrectedOwnerPos)]);
