Another Firestorm one, although this may be alterable. If so I don't know how to do it ..
When you buy something and it says "You paid whoever L$x", and you go to press the 'OK' button.
.. then in the blink of an eye the item pops up to Accept or Discard. The discard button is right where the OK button was and you discard by mistake.
Took quite a few times of mistakes, frustrations, notecards to vendors and re-deliveries learning to pause for a few seconds while ignoring 'You just paid ..' pop up.
I got a quick grab of it, just now >
It seems everyone else's pet peeves are always to do with other people. Other people are easy to ignore or move away from. They rarely bother me, people's names and fashion choices have zero impact on me, same as no AO or hairbase (huh?! .. lol). The one that I feel is hanging around on the landing point, which is why I bought a bumper. Move over butt-head!

Firestorm .. two inventory windows open .. drag across items from one to another .. it goes anywhere near the top of the target windows and the thing ZOOM-scrolls into oblivion. Thanks for trying to help me when I don't want it.
Again, Firestorm. Since a relatively recent update the 'Double-click on land' now walks you in a small arc before you begin your straight walk to the clicked point. Bumping into people, doorways, getting caught in arcoves and door frames.
Potential future options (I've pre-selected my choices):
Inventory auto-scroll: ☐
Double-click on land: Move to clicked point with animation: ☐-

When you have no idea what 'non-imposter avatars' are and assume everyone else is the same.
I allow 12 of them into my SL world. They've never introduced themselves, as far as I know.

That's the HUD they're selling for 3,000L?!
It's so basic.I don't remember paying L3,000 for it. I think I paid L$1,500.
Like a muppet, the above image was of the previous version (v3.05).
The first screen -Features- is pretty much essential, but I've never used the 3rd screen -Looks- at all. It is for saving sets of makeups and skin etc.. Then again, I never do with any save option for any head or body as I save different heads (or bodies) myself and label their folder accordingly, which I can then save within different outfits.
Anyway, these are the 3 screens of the new/current HUD: >

Besides grabbing the frees under the trees at The Arcade, Epiphany and FaMESHED I'll barely bother collecting any more guff this month, unless I actually see beforehand via some blog what it is I'll be getting. Plus, I can't be bothered to go to various venues on a daily basis just to discover it's yet something else for the trash.
I still haven't opened stuff from SLB15 and there's a mountain of hunt, event and various other gifts and freebies accumulated since then to get through.
Not easy staying on top of all the free stuff. Damn you, Maitreya!

I tried the demo of that LAQ head which is currently on offer. I didn't like it. If it was free I'd never wear it, but that's just me.
I have another LAQ head which I adore as it's one of the loveliest heads I own (along with Mayreal), so I have the skins and the LAQ HUD already.
There was a recent update for the LAQ HUD (v3.06) but nothing within the AO section changed. The moods and expressions within the AO section goes almost totally unused by me as the face distortion on numerous options is terrible, even with the default shape. Such a shame as many of the LAQ heads are very, very lovely indeed.
The 3 below (Lips1, Lips2, Smile1) are all I use. The AO just sits like that continuously, never changes. I've had to add other facial expressions via another HUD. I thought Catwa's AO was really good, the best I have seen.

I agree with Moira's theory, above, that it sounds like something to do with the internet connection.
Wired is always best, but if WiFi is your only option then at least make sure you're getting the strongest and best signal possible, with the least traffic. In other words, be sure to utilize the best wifi channel available from your home router's wifi. Neighbours may all be on the same channel, for all you know.
I use an app on my Android phone called 'WiFi Analyzer'. It shows the optimum channel to use. Once you know, you then access your router's wifi settings and change to the optimal channel. The difference can be significant.

All this talk of social interaction in social places being ignored got me thinking of something else I've done a few times to preempt an incoming 'hi'.
'Look At'.
I have my 'Look At' sending turned off, but have it turned on so I can see the targets of others, unless they've turned off theirs too.
Standing there, looking gorgeous, cross-hairs appear in the centre of my head with a name just above. I wish those names stacked as it becomes messy and unreadable when more than one person stares at you at once. Anyway, I quickly open up an IM for the person staring and monitor the .. is typing message. Then quickly say something before they do, such as 'no thanks'.
It's all sport and it can be fun, sometimes resulting in a reasonable conversation afterwards as they don't know how you did it

'hello' or 'hi' .. followed by nothing. Boring. It happens numerous times every day.
Those IMs almost always end up closed without a response from me, but not before zooming in and/or perhaps checking their profile first before closing, just in case.
I do not delete chat logs, so sometimes they have a history of hellos over a number of months, with nothing else and no response in-between.
The worse ones are where someone says something like "hello little lady", or something similar. Repeated exactly, months apart.
Despite all this I never respond in open chat, unless by mistake. Shaming someone for simply trying (rather pathetically) to start a conversation is a bit harsh.

Having you disappear in someone's viewer if you block them is a terrible idea.
Here's just one reason: If you block someone, and YOU disappear on their screen, they will immediately know that you blocked them. This invites retaliation.
I could not disagree with your blinkered knee-jerk reaction more.
Just because you fail to see any positives or understand what might be in certain situations doesn't mean none exist.
Think outside of your box a bit more.

I found this old thread with a keyboard method...
Thank you. There was a useful post or two in that 7 year old thread. Some information never gets old.
I've been wearing the finished article for several days already, but some useful extra info for next time.

I find the block function extremely inadequate.
If I don't like someone I can remove them from my world, but I still remain in their world. Not good enough!
I have an outfit I use for MMM which is basically just a 100% alpha. There have been occasions when I've worn it for some reason, often because someone is continually staring at me or I simply don't want them to look at me for extended periods as I find that creepy. But doing that does spoil my SL experience if it goes on too long, in which case I just leave and go somewhere else.
We should be able to hide from others. Perhaps only those we have blocked as it could be misused, I suppose.

I might be wrong, but if you are blocked I think you can still pay them (L$1) and send a message with the payment (not a notecard).

Thanks, Tari, I've done it now but I can already imagine tinkering and adding. This will save me lots of attachment slots
When I was editing the final positions it became very difficult and fiddly to select particular parts for editing as they were situated so closely together.
Instead of using the mouse, is there a method of rotating through the linked items using the keyboard, or some other method of selection?
-
I like creating my own sets of earrings, but I'd like to significantly reduce the number of attached items from individuals to being a single set of one attachment.
Is this possible?
I have bought toenails which come in linked sets which can be un-linked in order to adjust a single nail if one protrudes through certain shoes etc.
How do I accomplish creating a linked set, please?
Here is an example of 4 separate studs/earrings which I'd like to become one single attachment, rather than 4 >

Most people's avatars I know and see are continually evolving, forever tweaking and honing their appearance in search of the elusive appearance. Anyone whose appearance is important to them rarely stands still for long.
Being of mixed race asian, I too enjoy the asian look, style and appearance. Kawaii is often a good search term.
If you see someone wearing something you are curious about then this item is free. I've used it for years and have acquired many items I've liked by using it: -
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/MB-What-is-She-Wearing/9129140 - It is free.You just need to hone and refine searching and generally keep your eyes peeled for things which you like, which goes for any style you enjoy.
As it happens, Izzie's Fifty Linden Friday item on right now is an asian mono-lid.

Spider-man, The Fantastic Four, the Hulk. Nick Fury, Captain America. Iron Man, the X-Men, Daredevil. The Mighty Thor, Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner. Howard the Duck.
With no word of a lie, I have never seen a single movie featuring any of these characters and had never heard the name Stan Lee up until his death.
These really are not my kind of movies, but I have heard of about half of the above mentioned. I guess they appeal more to masses who have little incling for thinking and just enjoy easy, effect-filled movies.

If I'm doing sim photography, I set graphics complexity to 40k or less so those people in all their flexi finery don't rattle my fragile-nerved laptop in ultra settings.
When I'm taking a photo I turn on 'show friends only'. As I have none it leaves me as the only visible being, focusing all resources on me and my surroundings.
I tend to keep my ARC below 100k, but usually view others upto around 200k. if people are over 200k then that is their problem, although curiosity might make me briefly un-jellydoll them for silent shaming purposes.

Happy Wednesday! In case you missed it, we just deployed two great new features in Marketplace - Wishlists and Favorite Sellers.
Two really useful additions. Thank you and well done!
Now just the ability for buyers (searchers) to blacklist stores from the search results and we're all set.
