  1. Maybe because by just clicking on the name of the item in your Order History, the listing page for that item comes up, complete with pictures and all the other information.
  2. You need the UV map for the specific car you want to "paint". Once you have that, you can create the texture in a paint program (Photoshop or GIMP). Contact the creator of the vehicle you want to make a paint scheme for and see if they'll give or sell you the UV map.
  3. Yes, using shortcuts (which SL calls "links") is a great way to put things you wear all the time into multiple outfits. For example, my most-used mesh body and my HUDs are in all my Outfits, but as links. This has two additional advantages. 1) Links do count as items in your inventory, but they don't impact your performance, as having a great many actual items can. And 2) if you use the Firestorm viewer, you can use the Replace Links feature to replace all those links in one go when, for example, a new version of your body comes out. However, my original answer is a bit outdated, unless they've fixed something while I've been away. The creation of subfolders in the Outfits folder got broken. Existing subfolders can still be kept, and added to, but you cannot create new subfolders or re-order them. Darn it.

    Local chat can be accessed by anyone in range, or relayed by a device that is in range. IMs are private and secure (except that LL can read them.) I have had several people claim that they can read anyone's IMs if they want. I always say, "OK. I'm sending an IM to my alt right now. If you can quote it to me, I'll pay you $L20,000. If you can't, you have to pay me $L200." Nobody has ever taken my bet.

    Type in your user name and password. The viewer can't autocomplete the boxes because it lost that information.
  6. Your inventory exists on the LL servers, so you haven't actually lost anything. But there is an inventory cache on your local PC, and that can sometimes get corrupted. Use the Clear Inventory Cache button (Firestorm viewer, Preferences) or manually delete the cache folder on your PC. Then log in to an empty, low lag region (a water region like Heckendorf should do fine), and WAIT for your inventory to re-populate. If that doesn't work after a couple of tries, it's time to file a support ticket as Quistess suggests. Here's an article with more details. https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_missing_inventory
  7. That message does not sound like it's coming from Second Life. They would not say "Please contact support of your grid". If it comes with something like a link to click to "contact support", don't do it. It's a scam.
  8. No need, in the case of Coke. Way back before 2007, Coke gave permission to use their logo in Second Life. I don't know what other RL brands have done so. (And @Gopi Passiflora, it IS a trademark violation to use a RL brand's logo without permission. Technically, the proper thing to do is to ask the company before doing so.)
  9. Noooo! There MUST be a Christmas Cat! Buy more land instead.
  10. Well, just to give @BilliJo Aldrin someone to point to when she says "a lot of people" (I contain multitudes!)... Yup, General regions are not supposed to have any Adult content on them. BUT, as our snoopy OP has pointed out, sometimes it happens. AND, as long as parcel privacy is turned on (which you are supposed to do when conducting Adult activities on Moderate regions anyway), I personally don't see the problem with this violation. It's a peccadillo at most.
  11. McCoy - one universally loved doctor! BONES
  12. If the coalesced object contains Linden plants, it can't be rezzed most places. If you file a support ticket and request access to the Unpackistan region, LL will give you temporary access. Then you can go and rez the object and take the contents back into your inventory. Minus the Linden plants.
  13. SL will work on Windows almost exactly like it does on a Mac, except: Lots of things work by clicking the right mouse button. If you're used to using a one-button Mac mouse and an auxiliary key, this will be a bit different Lots of shortcuts use the CTRL and/or ALT keys. The keys are in the same keyboard positions as on a Mac, but named differently (Apple and Function, as I recall). Unless you want to save your chatlogs or your customized viewer settings, you don't need to copy any files over; just install a viewer and log in with your username and password as you did on your Mac. Your inventory and all that is stored on LL servers, not locally. Chat and IM logs will be stored by default (in Windows) in C:\Users\[WindowsUsername]\AppData\Roaming\[ViewerName]\Chatlogs\[AvatarName] although you can set a custom directory for this and (in the Firestorm viewer) for custom viewer settings. Find out any of these custom settings in your viewer's Preferences.
  14. You're right, but it still matters. If you size your image correctly to its final aspect ratio, and then manually re-size it to dimensions with a power of two (512 x512, for example), then SL won't have to re-size it when you upload. Since SL does a crummy job on its re-size, this will produce a sharper image. Once you slap your "squished" 512x512 onto a prim or into a Profile slot, it will automatically stretch back out to its proper aspect ratio.
  15. The Marketplace uses the commands AND, OR, and NOT, in all caps. I don't know if the in world search engine does the same, but it's worth a try.
  16. Crazies rowdily orbiting with dinner! SPACE!
  17. ...looks to make sure the thread isn't locked.... Granted! But now you have to keep wishing for things. No repeats allowed! Soon you find yourself spending all your time re-reading your old wishes. I wish you'd publish an original music composition on YouTube so we could all appreciate it.
  18. I think that might break the transactions system. But maybe disable the message part?
  19. The Reflections regions were favorites of mine, especially the underground one, Secret Reflections!
  20. @larry1065, can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing when you are "logged in but can't start"?
  21. And, since it IS the holidays: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/products/search?utf8=✓&search[category_id]=&search[maturity_level]=GMA&search[keywords]=snow
  22. This is highly annoying, but it has always resolved for me by logging out and then logging back in at "Last Location".
