  1. I've still never seen an ad for SL to this day, but then I haven't been looking either. I came here 13 years ago on a dare. A colleague told me that SL was going to be the next big thing for on-line education. I doubted it, and he dared me to take a look. I was right, but I stayed anyway.
  2. In random order: (1) Relaxing with a few close friends, (2) scripting almost anything, and (3) exploring. I've never really enjoyed shopping or attending music events, but at various times I have owned in-world shops, spent time on a dance pole, and managed schedules and resources for an in-world group. All were great fun, but I have moved on. I've also learned to be a passable 3D (mesh) modeler and an OK -- if uninspired -- texturer. I spend almost as much time here in the forums as I do in world.

    Controller

    If you are in a old-style Linden Home, contact Live Chat during office hours. They have the proper tools for resetting the control panel in those homes. If you are in a new-style Linden Home (on Bellisseria), you should always be able to access the control panel if you are the home's owner or if the owner has added you to the parcel Access List (and has either set the system to its Use List or Anyone option). If your new-style Linden Home's control panel is not responding properly, ask the owner to double check the way she has the Access permissions set up and then, if it still doesn't work, to rez a replacement house. OR submit a support case with important details about where your house is and what you have already tried doing.
  4. Or any regular 2D pattern that can be tiled:
  5. Just because. Put them back in your inventory. You can always do that at any time. Go to your dashboard at secondlife.com >>> LindeX >>> Manage >>> Sell L$ . If you are unfamiliar with the way that currency exchanges work in RL or SL, I suggest using the Market Price rather than setting a Limit Price. The USD proceeds will appear in your USD Balance. You may then do anything you like with them, including doing a Credit Transfer to send them to your PayPal account.
  6. There is a thriving market for third-party add-ons. Start searching in Marketplace. You'll find everything from extra walls to greenhouses, swimming pools, and patios for sale.
  7. Not a chance. And Linden Lab will not generally intervene in a dispute between residents. AND, your question is totally unrelated to the thread that you have just dropped it into.
  8. Gosh, and Maddy excels spectacularly. SHINE
  9. No, but I hardly ever use mouselook, so that's not surprising. SL had some serious problems yesterday, though -- perhaps persisting today too -- so you may just be observing a fluke. A lot of people were having trouble rezzing objects. I crashed on TP twice, and there was a good chunk of the day when people were unable to log in. Compared to those, your mouselook issue is rather small, but it may be part of the whole.
  10. My horse has the oddest set of interests. We were exploring around the north side of Antelope Lake this morning, checking out the flowering bushes and butterflies, the way he always likes to, when he discovered fire. Well, not fire generically. He discovered a fire in a pit in front of the ranger cabin at the lake, and it fascinated him. He stared at it for much too long, as if he was trying to decide how to make use of the new information. It was all I could do to drag him away and head south. Antelope Lake itself is beautiful, but I really wanted to scout out the area around Sparkle Bottom, where there are two joined lakes, Sparkle Lake itself and Leech Lake. The roads from Antelope lake southward are well kept and rather straight for some of the way. We made good time. It seemed to me that the horse had already forgotten about fire and was starting to enjoy the new exploration. There was one tricky moment, as we passed through Huney Junction, when I spotted a small campfire next to some camper's trailer home, but apparently my horse didn't notice, even when some sparks drifted across the road ahead of us. South of Huney Junction, the maze of dirt roads leads almost directly to Sparkle Lake. going through some low rolling hills. There were plenty of flowering bushes along the way, and a surprising number of butterflies for this time of the year. The horse was invigorated. I was confident that he had left the memory of the fire pit behind. .... .... until we came across this picnic area. I don't know why campers would walk off and leave a charcoal fire and four sticks with marshmallows roasting over it, but they did. I could see the little wheels turning in my horse's mind. He stared at that fire and those marshmallows for the longest time and then let out a happy whinny. He had figured out what fire is good for. I dismounted and we shared the marshmallows. That was one happy horse. Sparkle Lake is the largest geographic feature in the Sparkle Bottom district. It's lovely and, as far as I could see, clean and clear. It would have been a wonderful place for a leisurely swim, except that it's also a popular camping area. There are just too many camping trailers there to make that a good idea if you're not packing a suit. Leech Lake, which is connected and just to the south, is just as lovely and just as popular. The lakes are fed by a stream that comes out of the hills to the west, though. Instead of continuing south, then, I decided to follow the stream and find its source. The road to Roaring Bear crosses the stream many times, so it's quite easy to follow it gradually upslope. There are several small waterfalls along the way, and some very lush vegetation. Satisfied by the marshmallows, my horse wandered along happily. Finally, we reached the base of a magnificent waterfall-- actually a compound cascade -- coming down from the rocky slope above. My horse seemed quite pleased to stay right there and wade around while I climbed the rocks to see what was at the top. In the end, sadly, the climb was disappointing. There is a lake at the top, but it's dreadfully barren -- rocky all around and solid rock all across its floor. Not only that, but it's not even waist deep. It's hardly a place to dive in, and the rocks are uncomfortable to walk on. I found a dumb-looking floatie that some kid abandoned, and tried paddling around with it for a while, but it just wasn't much fun. I stayed for maybe twenty minutes, got dressed again, and went back down to the horse. So today he won. Now he knows about fire and has discovered what it's good for. And I had a nice ride in the country but no new swimming hole. Maybe I'll have more luck next time. I'll just have to remember marshmallows.
  11. Oh, THAT? That's just the standard LL blanket warning that appears whenever you use the Debug Settings in your viewer. Indeed, messing with some settings is risky, so the message is there to keep people from blindly clicking at things that can't be undone if they cause disasters. Mostly, LL doesn't want people whining that it's the Lab's fault that they screwed things up by using Debug Settings. You're not proposing to play with any debug setting that deals with inventory, though. If you know exactly what setting you need to adjust, and why, you are probably safe. Just set it back to whatever it was if you don't like the result.
  12. Probably. As Qie said earlier, though, a no mod script is a black box. Like Neo, I cannot imagine why anyone would write a script that could delete inventory if you change a debug setting. It's not one of those things that I would usually dream of worrying about. The fact that the scripter bothered to make that notation, though, does raise the faint possibility that he's done something that he thinks might cause you to lose inventory. You might as well be cautious (unless the inventory items are copiable, in which case, give it a shot).
  13. It's impossible to know how to answer without peering into the script. The message you are getting is a basic LSL error message, telling you that the label that you are trying to put on one of the buttons in your dialog is too long. It's not necessarily the name of the anim that you just added. Without looking to see where your script gets button labels (or how it constructs them), we really can't guess. Again, this is not really what this forum is here for. This is a place for scripters to share ideas with each others and moan about why their own scripts don't behave.
  14. As in, "My password is PH9 !" ( That's an alka LIE! 😃 ) Har har har ......
  15. Swimming among large anchovies (dead). URRPP
  16. THIS ^^ I can agree with. I'm not usually aware of my post count. I think to look at it only when a thread like this one reminds me to check. The post counting system has been around for ages. Void and I used to joke about it, back in 2008. My own post count started growing 13 years ago, but I've never done anything designed to make it grow. As my grandfather once told me, long life isn't much more than a Good Attendance medal. You just get points for showing up every morning. Among ourselves, we gradually learn whose opinions to give credibility to, and who routinely gives odd advice that ought o be discounted. Newbies don't, so they may well be impressed by post counts. It's dumb, but it's the only metric they have. In the era of Facebook, it's at least a familiar metric. As one who have never understood the appeal of FB, I am still a bit mystified by it. FWIW, I agree with @Erwin Solo about the contributions that Void and Dora both made while they were here with us. Void mentored me as I was getting started in LSL, and I greatly respected Dora's mathematical insights. Void moved on to other pastures when she tangled with the moderators, and Dora sadly died a while back. I miss them both. And not because of their post counts.
