    BAD LION!

    I just nearly backed into a bit of forum drama on another thread by accident, because I was reading the thread backwards. And what I initially thought was a good-humoured joke . . . wasn't. 😱 Lesson learned. Always read from front to back.

    I do a fair number of photos with friends, but I also use a lot of "photography alts" -- alternate looks that I can use for additional figures in photos. This is my most recent -- "Beth." I think she looks rather sweet. And a whole lot more spry than me.

    Your avi always looks gorgeous, Emma, but this is stunning.

    Really lovely shot, Taya!

    oooooh What's the poncho thing you're wearing, Claire?

    My legal defence team is requesting a subpoena and warrant for his body cam footage.

    Yes! I tried saving an outfit a couple of hours ago, and the system seems fully functional once again. Yay!
  10. Scylla Rhiadra
    Yes, that's it, of course. My post count was getting a bit low, and my street cred was seriously suffering. 😏 The forums are, in part, here to help people with issues. And, by gosh, they DID! Including you, Belinda! So thank you!

    So, update. A restart seems to have fixed most of the problem. I can now save outfits as outfits again. It's still a bit borked: it doesn't show the name of the outfit I'm editing. But I can live with that. Thanks everyone!
  12. Scylla Rhiadra
    Thanks. Hopefully this will fix it!
  13. Scylla Rhiadra
    Yeah. I addition to the visual contrast (and the way that the colour changes the focus of the pic), the difference underlines the distinction between the "fictional" (i.e., the movie, which was of course shot in B&W) and the (*coughs*) "real" -- my avatar watching the movie. The "engagement" of the second with the first, crossing that boundary, is part of the story. So I think thematically, were I ever to do something with this pic (which probably I won't), I'd definitely retain the colour.
  14. Scylla Rhiadra
    Presumably it will be fixed. Eventually.

    Ahhhhhhh Thanks, Rowan. It's not just me then.

    So, last night, an issue developed with my ability to edit and save "outfits," as per the usual procedure for doing this. When I try to edit an existing outfit or create a new one, the "Appearance" box, first of all, doesn't read the name of the outfit I'm currently wearing and editing: it lists it as "No Outfit." And when I edit it and "Save as," with a new name, it doesn't produce a new outfit folder (the ones with the coat hanger in a folder icon). Instead, it creates a new regular folder containing links to all of my layers and attachments within the Outfits folder. In other words, it's saving it where it should be saved, but not as an actual outfit. I experience the same problem with my alts, so it's not my account. I've tried it on two different viewers, so it's not my viewers. And, when I go to a sandbox to do it, Appearance works fine: it saves a proper outfit. So it appears to be region-related. It's also not just my parcel: I can't make new outfits in the same region on Linden protected land either (in the case, the SLRR on Heterocera Atoll) So . . . ask for a region restart? Ideas?

    Actually . . . I've just remembered that I have a La Dolce Vita pic -- sort of -- I once took. I never did anything with it -- this is literally raw, not even cropped -- but it was meant, at some level I think, to represent my sense of connection with the character of Maddalena.

    One of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite movies (although I much prefer Anouk Aimée's character, and actually think she's more beautiful and glamorous). I have a pic of Sylvia wading through the fountain that goes up wherever I have an SL home. I first put it up in 2009 -- it goes where I go.

    This is really lovely, Archangel. Thank you for visiting! Honestly, that someone likes the pics enough to actually hang them is really where it's at. It's what makes it worthwhile. I'm really and truly gratefully when people post or send me pics of my stuff out and on display! BTW, the last piece you show here, @Laurel Aurelia's "Strong Enough to Cry," is probably my favourite piece in the entire exhibition, or at least top two or three. I think it's both fabulously moving, and interestingly abstract. You have an excellent eye!

    Well, I haven't met a LOT of the Lindens, and, as I've noted before, I've only ever engaged with one I didn't much like (and in fairness to him, he got grumpy with me because I'd show up to his office hours and ask questions he really didn't want to, or perhaps couldn't, answer). I think most of them are probably lovely. I don't even resent the ones who've handed me suspensions or wrist slappings: they're just doing their job, however much I might disagree with the decision. I'm sure it's not personal. And it's also of course important to remember that they are not omnipotent gods: they are employees of a medium-sized corporation that hands down policy decisions from on high. I'm willing to give them credit where I think it is due, and mostly not blame them, personally, for things I think are wrong. But . . . . . . while in the past, the appearance of Lindens here to talk to residents was generally a good thing, and meant engaging with the community, providing insight and information, or even just bantering with us, more recently their appearances here have been associated with, as I say, locked threads and suspensions. All those locked threads, and suspensions a while back over "the bot issue" -- those were all handed out directly by Lindens, who seem to have been tasked, maybe against their own better judgement, with getting us to shut up about it. If they were at all "god-like," it was sort of Old Testament smiting, rather than something more beneficent. And their responses to those threads were, if not exactly falsehoods, certainly prevarications. Again, I'm sure not their fault. Which is what makes this new "Here Are the Lindens" thread so nice and refreshing. It's nice to see them here, not as punishers or enforcers, but rather as members of a large community we all share.
  22. Scylla Rhiadra
    Wow, you're ALL here? Eek. Who's Designated Survivor????
  23. Scylla Rhiadra
    Hmm. Too often of late, the appearance of bona fide Lindens here has meant thread locks and suspensions. Or that at least has been my experience. I think I much prefer our Moles, tyvm.
  24. Scylla Rhiadra
    I'm waiting for it . . . 😏

    Yeah, I've blocked, muted, and expelled from the group, both in-world and on Flickr. Unless she starts coming at me with alts, I should be good. I actually wasn't initially going to do any of those things, until she started spamming my Flickr with hate messages, and contacting random members of my group to diss me. Giving her the benefit of the doubt was, in hindsight, a mistake: she's clearly an attention-seeking troll who wants to generate The Dramaz. And I ain't doing that. Incidentally, this is all about my gallery exhibition. Who'd have thunk that such a warm-and-fuzzy, feel-good installation would generate toxic responses! But the *coughs* "art world" boasts its share of idiots too.
