[Recommend a beach skybox?]

When I wanted to be in more beachy surrounds in the sky I created my own platform stretching a flattened prim to 32x32 (size of my plot) used one of the sand textures in the library, then hollowed out a prim to fit on the platform to make a one way surround (transparent on outside) applied a beach scene texture I found on the marketplace to the inside. For the house I used the no pool version of this due to prim constraints https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ROOST-Uplands-Fold-House-with-Pool/6228740 and added this 2 Li palm cluster https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/7-Palms-2-LI-OPQ-7-Palms-11d-7-Palms-2-LI/15755057 to fill out the beachy look

[second life photography discussion]

maybe some could help me better understand why? I noticed within the art and photography of second life it seems those who put way less effort into pictures and avatar appearance have a higher likelihood of more reactions, following and comments, meanwhile someone like me who spends well over 7 hours on a photoshoot from start to finish who very well cleans up and cares about detail yet the follows, reactions and comments are nowhere to be found

I don't really look in the art and photography section that often. I do check the vanity threads in the avatar section and sometimes post. With the range of viewers, hardware and in viewer photo tools available I don't know if someone just adjusted their camera position to front view and clicked save on the snapshot or they spent many hours setting up the shot to look that way.

[I want a fat body - help? Very new!]

[Hey Old Avis: Any dead groups you can't let go?]

I have a few groups I keep for nostalgia reasons amongst them, one is a vampire group though I was never an active bloodlines user more pally with the founder. Another is a group one of my oldest long since deleted friends created, when I became the last member I added an alt to save it so I could play around with custom tags, if anyone does find it, it has a hefty join fee

[How to use text characters in name?]

I don't think i've ever seen an account name use any characters other than the standard letters/numbers infact the sign up page says it only accepts letters/numbers. you can use non standard characters, unicode and ascii in display names not everything will work, i would advise not using it as it can make your chosen name unreadable

[Texture Issues help?]

If you aren't able to to go BoM look in the applier section of the Hud there should be an option to click between mask & blend mode for the alpha one of the modes will help your issue just be aware it could negatively affect the quality of how the tattoo looks

[Price increase]

As someone that currently uses only one body with no plans of switching I do appreciate if I am given the option to unpack or buy the body I use. At this moment in time buying just the body I use is not putting me off buying things sold that way

[Is voice now expected as default for SL?]

As someone whose never bothered with voice. Pre the days of being able to backup my viewer settings, I remember with each viewer update I'd have to go into Prefs and turn off voice and unless I wanted to use it music/media and remove the icons for voice from the bottom of the screen. So I'm fairly sure voice has always been active by default.

[What Face Skin is This?]

I don't know about the face skin but the teeth for sure you won't find anywhere in SL I don't think there is a single head in SL that will give you that smile. At best the one's on Lelutka's Evo/X heads look somewhat awkward. You need a tool outside of SL to do that

does anyone have an idea on which might end up looking closest to my current face?

When i was first shopping for a mesh head I went and got demos for all the heads around, tried them on while using my everyday shape not the one included with the head then chose the one that was closest to “me“. I was lucky Lelutka Chloe from the older origin line was an almost perfect match at the time. I now use Lelutka Evo Raven which is a very close match for me

[Copycat...]

8 hours ago, Mousy Littlepaws said:

How would You deal with a copycat? Someone that actively searches what you are wearing, and not only buys it but wears it right away to match you. Things from hair, clothes, companions, body, head etc....

Depending on how old this copycat is, with the prevalence of BoM bodies I'd be tempted to wear my old system layer clobber exclusively for a while. Knowing plenty of stuff I own can't be bought anymore it's almost guaranteed the copier would be using a copybot of some sort if seen wearing the same system layers 

[Fantassaria Survey?]

As a theme in general "Fantasy" has never appealed to me. The landscaping is pleasant enough I could live with it. The Belli fantasy homes I think are the wrong size, it's not what comes to mind when I think fantasy. The interior layouts of the rooms are either too big, too small or don't lend themselves to being furnished in a typical manner. There might be a window just where you don't want a window to be or space that's hard to do anything with and that's if you have furniture that doesn't look too out of place in the house.

Sorry for the bump but how do we get body now?

It's still possible to get Slink compatible feet from Similar on the marketplace, if anyone didn't get the chance to buy the official feet, the version I own are good but don't work with appliers/BoM for skin matching. so unless someone comes up with a Slink compatible body your out of luck

I apid over $140AUS to get a premium account, yet have not seen any stipends come in? Money has definitely been paid but nothing. ANd the ticket I sent was not responded to.......Any ideas on what else I can do?

Stipends are paid on Tuesday providing there are no issues that would make them late. If you paid for premium on or after Tuesday you will get a stipend payment this coming Tuesday. If this is your first time taking out premium you will get a L$1000 bonus after 45 consecutive days. I seem to recall many years ago getting a small additional bonus around L$250 for using PayPal

[Does Reborn Have It's Own Version Of Petite?]

1 hour ago, Ceka Cianci said:

I never thought of this or looked until now.. I'm working on some pictures and was curious if Reborn has it's own version of a Petite?

On a few things I've seen including rigs for reborn there's been mounds and juicy boobs which are quite common and then something called "teacups" which I assume is some kind of small boob option for Reborn.
