If you can't "catch" the bird (it's too fast, or it won't allow you to select it), it's probably generated from a rezzer. Use Show Beacons to find nearby scripted objects. One of them (there could be a LOT!) will have a name like "bird rezzer". IM the owner.

There are two parts to getting married, both of which are optional. The first is the Partnership offer and acceptance that Valerie told you about. The second is a wedding. This can be as elaborate as you like/can afford. You can rent a venue, hire a wedding planner, get friends to be bridesmaids, buy a dress, say vows, ride to the reception in a horse drawn carriage...whatever you imagine as your "perfect wedding". Or if all that is too much trouble, just move in together and tell everyone that you are married.

1. Go into Mouselook. (Hit M). 2. Move your mouse to look at where you want to go. 3. Hold the Up arrow key to walk. 4. If you want to maneuver while walking, keep holding down the arrow key, but move the mouse. You will always walk toward the cursor shown on your screen. (This is a really good way to outmaneuver your friends while flying!)

You should contact Billing. 1. If you allow your Premium account to fall into arrears, LL will not downgrade you, they will delete your account. :smileymad: 2. You cannot downgrade your account yourself until you: a. Pay what you already owe, and b. Go in world and abandon your Linden Home, and sell or abandon any other Mainland you have. 3. If you downgrade your account, or quit SL altogether, you will not receive a refund on any unused Premium membership time.

Usive, to pay for full regions, what's needed is $USD, not $L. Go to your Dashboard page on this website. On the left side, in the Linden Exchange box, click Manage, and then click Increase Credit. You can transfer money from your payment method (credit card or PayPal account) in $20 increments.

Note: Just because they are on the parcel access list doesn't mean they will be able to use the door. Check the information on how to add someone to the home controls. The home itself probably gives you a Help notecard with this information. I prefer NOT to use banlines and parcel access lists. The banlines are ugly and they inconvenience your neighbors who may just want to walk or fly across the land. I would much rather personally eject and ban any rude trespassers...it's more fun that way. As for trespassers who come when you aren't at home...why worry about them? They can't steal or break anything.

I suspect the Bloodline people won't want to tell you how to make products that they would much rather you buy from them.

See my blog post, Disappearing Dollars

In inventory, right click the hawk, select "Attach To.." and the desired attachment point..

I found a competing product that sells for 3 times your price. If your computer does what it says, it's a great deal. I haven't looked at yours, but the competing one advertised itself as a "real computer" but you had to issue all your commands in chat which seemed very un-computerish to me.

You are charged for the MAXIMUM amount of Mainland you hold at any point in the billing cycle. For example, if you had a Linden Home, and bought your 4096, then abandoned the Linden Home five minutes later, you will be billed for the next tier level up from 4096.

The 'supported cards' list is never up to date. Don't waste time searching for an obsolete video card. Any late model NVIDIA GeForce card (500 series, preferably) will work perfectly. ATI cards will also work, but their reputation for supporting OpenGL is not as good as NVIDIA's. Run your monitor at its native resolution.

pfft, everyone missed the obvious! Just click the little music note icon to turn off the parcel audio stream. All other sounds, such as ambient wind, sound effects, and UI notices remain unaffected. You can also click the Mute button next to the Music slider to turn off that channel. Hover your cursor over the speaker icon to expand the channel list.

There are a number of wedding planners in Second Life. Some just sell dresses and props. Some own land and offer a venue for the wedding. Some offer complete services including officiant, DJ, photographer, etc.

Where: Adult areas, or Moderate areas if you own land and have a private residence there. How: See my blog post http://acrossthegridwithlindal.blogspot.com/2011/06/thanks-for-asking-but.html

you could try the following: - File a DMCA notice against the offender. The procedure can be found here. http://secondlife.com/corporate/dmca.php

My question is, why would you want a private residence in an Adult region? You can do anything you want inside your Linden Home, and keep it private with banlines and the "limit visibility to outside avatars" settings in About Land. The only reason you would need a place on Adult land is if you wanted to set up a public sex area, escort club, etc.

It won't let you go over the limit. If you try to rez an object that would kick you over, you'll get an error message.

Many credit card companies think "Linden Lab" is some sort of internet scam site and block billings from them. You need to call your credit card company and tell them to accept charges from Linden Lab.

I didn't find an Australian number for LL. It'll have to be an overseas call. For Billing questions, you can call one of these numbers: Support Phone Numbers Toll-Free (US/Canada) 877.236.0711 Long Distance 703.286.2738 Local Toll-Free numbers France: 0805.101.490 Germany: 0800.664.5510 Japan: 0066.33.132.830 Portugal: 800.814.450 Spain: 800.300.560 UK: 0800.048.4646 A hold on your account could be for several reasons: you committed a serious Terms of Service violation and were reported you DIDN'T commit a serious ToS violation, and were falsely reported Someone ELSE committed the ToS violation, got banned, and your address got caught in the overkill your payment information is inaccurate, or your credit card company refused payment to LL

To add to MadameG's comment: Just because someone has left SL doesn't mean their content is up for grabs. They still have creator rights to it. They might come back. They might decide to sell a version of their content on another grid. So it would be wrong to change the permissions and re-sell or give away these items

8 to 30 fps is not bad for SL. Second Life has miserable frame rates compared to most MMORPGs. This is for a couple of reasons. One is that SL is based on OpenGL, and not DirectX like most games. Nividia does a pretty good job of supporting OpenGL, AMD not so much. Either way, DirectX is faster. The other major reason is that SL does not pre-download content to your hard drive. Most content in most games is made by the game developers, and does not change -- so it can be downloaded to your computer once and accessed quickly from there. Second Life's content is all user-created, and subject to change at a moment's notice. A lot of the textures used are not optimized for efficiency. Every time you change locations, or even turn to look in a different direction, SL has to download a lot of content to you over the internet. You can do some things in your Preferences/Graphics settings to help, like turning off reflections, reducing your draw distance, disabling antialiasing. But SL will always be clunky compared to games with pre-made content.

BASIC accounts are never deleted, or at least not until you've not logged in for several years. PREMIUM accounts are deleted as soon as you fail to keep up the payments. This is a hidden drawback of Premium membership. You'd think LL would have the courtesy to just downgrade you to Basic, but nooooo....

I did not know it was possible to give a Premium membership as a gift. My guess is, when LL checked the payment method used (your BF's credit card) it didn't match the payment method on file for your account, and the payment was rejected. Call Billing, preferably with your boyfriend on the line too.

Valerie is right. It's against ToS to pass IM logs to a third party without the participants' consent...but it is NOT against ToS to ban anyone you please from your land for whatever reason. So if several people complain about an annoying person, you can simply take their word for it and ban him, whether you see the actual IM logs or not. I would also eject him from your group, if you have one, and Mute/Block him. You can tell your other visitors to Mute him and ignore him too. Problem solved. EDIT: Or call me. I'll come over and ridicule him until he melts.
