See my blog post Phishing Comes to Second Life for an explanation of two ways this can happen. 1. Change your password at once, if you still can. 2. Go to Help at the top of this web page. File a Support Case using the steps Rolig provided in her answer.

And here is yet another way! 1. Select something (anything), click Edit. 2. Hold your left mouse button and drag out a selection box. When it is large enough that the hidden curtain is entirely within it, the curtain will be selected. You have to be careful not to select OTHER objects. If some other objects do get selected, hold Shift and click them until only the buried curtain is selected. 3. Drag curtain out of wall.

In addition to Cinnamon's answer, if the group land is sold, all the members with this ability enabled will get an equal share of the proceeds.

Essentially zero. Linden Lab will attempt to bill the credit card or PayPal account you have on file, on the due date.

SL uses a lot of bandwidth, unfortunately. It's not a good application to use if you have a bandwidth-limited account (such as a wireless provider...but you shouldn't be using SL with wireless anyway.) Turn off the bells and whistles that Nalates described...sound, media, voice, reduce draw distance. Also in your Preferences/Graphics, turn off all the shaders except Basic Shaders. Turn off Particles and Local Lights. Finally, don't move around much. Every time you change your location or point of view, new textures are downloaded to your computer, eating bandwidth.

I have this problem a lot, using the Firestorm viewer (it might happen with other viewers too, but that's what I use). Sometimes even repeated re-bakes won't fix it...my upper body is clear, but my lower body is blurry, or vice versa. Firestorm has a new feature, "texture refresh" that works great on this problem. Right click yourself, select Appearance/Tex Refresh. You can use texture refresh on objects and other avatars, too. Right click, select More/more/Tex refresh.

You don't have to be around him to report him. Just get his name, teleport home, file the Abuse Report from there. In the Location section of the report, it will show your current location. Override this and type in the name of the region where the abuse occurred.

1. Try a different viewer. Phoenix and Firestorm are popular. http://www.phoenixviewer.com 2. If you still get the same behavior, file a support case with Linden Lab (see the Help section of this web site)

Are you in Busy mode? Don't be.

The largest "mansion" I know of isn't exactly a mansion...it's a cruise ship, the SS Galaxy. It stretches over three sims! It has a ballroom, clubs, wedding chapel, swimming pools, shopping arcades, art galleries, and you can rent a cabin and live there. It really does have the look and feel of a Real Life ocean liner. And, by the way, Greenies is no more.

If they are copy/transfer, you can sell them or give them away to another resident. There are many "yard sales" in SL that do just that. If they are No Transfer, you can't sell them or give them away, all you can do is delete them.

I'm sure there is some place where you can role play this. I'm equally sure it would be horrific.

If you suspect someone of diddling your head, remove them from your friends list, and mute them. This solves the problem...but there is NO way to know for sure. You could be pruning an innocent friend from your SLife. But that's the uncertainty we live with here.

1. You are not talking to the Lindens, they don't even read this forum. We are only residents like you and cannot "see to" any matters. 2. Don't use the name of your friend in your post, it's against the forum rules. 3. Besides phishing scams, if your friend left "remember my password" checked on the login screen, anyone with access to his computer could log in with his account when he's not around. If his password still works, have him sign in, uncheck that "remember me" box, and change his password.

This is a known bug that affects some people. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but here's the solution: 1. Download and install a third party Second Life viewer. I recommend Firestorm at http://www.phoenixviewer.com 2. Run the Firestorm viewer and accept the Terms and Conditions. You can then proceed to log in with this viewer, or close it and go back to the standard Linden Lab viewer. You will not need to accept the Terms and Conditions again.

Some people have had success with the procedure found at the link below: http://neilrobinson.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/a-fix-for-dns-errors/ (This is mainly for Mac users, if I read things right) Or, you could try using Google Public DNS. See this page: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/

Phishing is on the rise in Second Life. PLEASE read my blog post: http://acrossthegridwithlindal.blogspot.com/2012/03/phishing-comes-to-second-life.html I have seen two instances of this in group chat in the last week alone. DO NOT enter your user name or password on ANY page that you open by clicking a link someone gives you. ALWAYS open the Second Life website by browsing there yourself.

Sorry, but sending an Abuse Report is your only option. That, and appealing a ban if Linden Lab suspends YOU. I have to say that I feel there are two sides to this story. Linden Lab doesn't usually issue a suspension based on a "fake" report...they investigate THEIR chat and IM logs to determine who should, or should not be suspended. I hate to say this, because I don't like to recommend running away from bullies...but you may want to consider making yourself an alternate account and starting a new Second Life, far from this trouble.

You MIGHT be able to...although most freebies are No Transfer. But, it would be a bad thing to do. You're defrauding your buyers, since they could get the same item for free elsewhere. And it's theft of intellectual property, which is against the law, not just the LL Terms of Service.

Do you have a viewer that has RLV, and is it enabled?

Fine technical point: These are "griefers", not trolls. But that hardly matters. Yes, Abuse Report them for harrassment (in world, Help Menu, Report Abuse) Mute them, too. Call up their profiles and choose Block. Ban them from your land parcel (About Land/Access) Bloodlines is not an "official roleplaying game", and no one has grounds to harrass anyone else on the basis that "we were only roleplaying." No one has a right to force their roleplay on those who don't wish to participate. I'm not sure how they did all that to you, but in the future if things look like you are about to be attacked, sit on some object. That will protect you against most forms of attack.

You can wear an Alpha that covers less of your ankle, or you can edit the shoes higher up your leg. This happens because your legs are longer than the model the alpha texture was created on.

If you clicked a link someone sent you to "great free clothes" and it looked like an SL log in page, and you entered your user name and password, you may be the victim of a phishing scam. Contact Support in any case.

When and if they do implement this, the wireless companies are going to really send you a big monthly bill. SL will eat your bandwidth allowance like nothing else.

Find your collar in your inventory. Right click it, select Wear. If that's not working, please add more information to your question by clicking Options/Edit in the upper right hand corner.
