[What are some of your pet peeves?]

People (not beggar bots) that can't take no for an answer they IM wanting L$100+ for something frivolous claiming they "accidentally" spent it elsewhere, you give some no reason like if you give them the L$ you wont be able to afford rent so they try asking for less L$ thinking you can magically afford it

[🎁 Bellisseria Gift Hunt Round II 🎁]

I'm a bit stumped as to where to look, there are multiple locations of what the clue could suggest to be but the best i found was a Halloween swaginator

[WHERE ARE MESH HEADS IN MARKET PLACE FFS]

The marketplace works well for some things and not for others. When there wasn't an easy and obvious way (and still isn't) of finding mesh heads on the marketplace i turned to inworld search looked up all the brands i knew of, Skell gave you a great list plus there's Lelutka & LAQ that aren't in the list i went to the stores grabbed a bunch of demo's and took them home to decide what was best

[Mesh Head vs. System]

Why someone spends forever trying to make a mesh head look like their old system head is beyond me.

Some people have lived with their system head looks for so long they don't want to look too alien to what they have been used to for years. Certainly when i was looking in to mesh heads the one i chose to buy was the most "me" 

[Abuse Reports going unanswered?]

LL don't give personal replies to AR's only the generic acknowledgement of your AR. When someone on a neighbouring region was using multiple offensive particle spammers to grief my land and that of LL welcome centre our regions both border it took several as detailed as possible AR's over a week before the griefing particle spam went away so if you think AR's are a waste of time and nothing comes of them, there are times when they do work

Good job i kept all my system stuff tried out the BoM version of Sahara, while i can't carry off the skin i tried as well my main alt does, one of my favourite system outfits came out quite well

[Inventory Lost?]

First off see if the inventory is in another viewer like the official viewer if it is regardless of whether or not you use Firestorm they have a helpful page on missing inventory you can work through https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_missing_inventory

Came across this zombie guy up in the photo area of the Halloween party at the Fairgrounds the extent of my dressing up was donning a scary mask

[Can't Find Payment Info]

it's unfortunate your friends friend had their RL account terminated. if the parcel is on the mainland and your pal is premium if the parcel is abandoned they could try live chat/support ticket and see if they can get it sold to them. The Lindens that work on mainland are quite accommodating my nice neighbours wanted to buy up a lot of abandoned land on my home sim and a few days back i saw a Linden in sim helping with their request

[Avatar hands (4 hands)]

Akkir0 if your hands look grey there's some unscheduled maintenance going on causing you/other people to a bit grey and strange if you go in to appearance mode you can make yourself look OK again to you until the maintenance is fixed

Is it bento now? Omega friendly? Marketplace link?

It has been updated with BoM at a significant but cheaper than an official Maitreya body price increase though. My alt uses an older version of the body i really rate the compatibility i've had the odd Maitreya rigged items fit the body better than my own Maitreya body

Slink seems cheaper until you need to buy body+feet+hands separately, which seems weird to me.

There's no longer a need to do that there's a package available with everything included

[What do you love/hate in pg furniture animations & menus?]

What i don't like all that much If it's say a chair or sofa you might want rezzed against a wall and there's couples cuddle animations, the ones that only really work if you and your other user are propped against the back of the chair making you both stuck in a wall or not inside your property

Now all I have to do is figure out how to make my Lelutka head look like me (I'm still rocking a system head, because NOTHING I do makes my Lelutka head's eyebrows look right... or the nose)

I've seen it advised before to take a pic of you with your system head  apply that to a prim then use it as a reference for tweaking your mesh head it may help. I got the LeLutka Chloe as it was the most 'me' using my shape, i did take comparison pics prior to being rich enough to afford the head so i could get used to what the "new" would look like. i have tweaked here and there to feel more like my system self.  your eyebrows you can adjust to a point using a modifiable hair base though you may never be able to get them exactly the same as your system ones mine i couldn't even though i'm using my system skin and two shades of tattoo layer brows as BoM if anything i prefer them to system. if you use a very old system skin it may not look great as BoM while my Glam Affair skin works well, I tested out the skins i had been using prior from Skinthesis and they just didn't look nice

Looking for things like reading a book, browsing a smartphone, dozing in a chair, and so on...

Lisp Bazaar has furniture that will do just that, don't think everything is available on the marketplace i have this sofa https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/LISP-Mesh-Eternal-Forest-Sofa-with-Props/7643797 and a four poster PG bed both with props & activities

[Has any one gone back to visit their very first home is sl be it linden or other and why???]

My first proper place was on a private estate called Savannah Beach that disappeared not long after i moved to mainland, I have been back to the two linden homes i had longer than to decide i didn't like them and abandon i forgot how tightly packed together the old home sims were, My first in Shibury has ban lines round it my second in Pennyroyal Valley like most homes has the blinds set to fully shut so no one can look in unless they cam. As nice as the homes were at the time i would not give up my Bellisseria home to go back and live there

[Problems layering clothes]

Thanks both of you for your answers.  I never had any problems layering clothes with my classic avatar, so I didn't expect to have the problem with my new body! 

with system you could use different sizes of mesh to try and avoid it you can't really with a mesh body it's a bit of trial and error trying finding the right items that play nicely and layer well

It is so liberating that I don't need a HUD. I just add on makeup layers and take them off. Want hairbase, eyebrows, 2 different sets of eyeshadows and eyeliner? Just add, add, add. Want a scar bisected over the eye for Halloween? Add it. Some blood splatter? Add it. And so on.

Loving BoM for exactly these reasons with in a day or two of finally getting a mesh head the BoM FS came out and the first thing i did was click BoM on the HUD my Glam Affair system skin and the tattoo layer cosmetics i use work surprisingly well but the skin i had been using prior to that doesn't work as well

[Why not just re-enable last names for new Avatar Accounts?]

2 hours ago, Erwin Solo said:

The link to the following page, and the materiel thereon, makes it clear that SL still has an API for registering new users with last names.  http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Registration_API

That info might be a bit out of date, I still have the last known third party registration portal to have last names bookmarked the sign up page still exists however in the last name section there are none 

[Firestorm BoM version causing bad lag?]

I've not noticed much if any difference in lag on the BoM FS i still get the same FPS on my mainland parcel, and any place i go to that's mega laggy is still mega laggy. aside from trying a different viewer you may want to try white listing Firestorm in your antivirus if you haven't already some AV's may scan each and every file and texture used by FS or what ever viewer you're using causing a performance hit https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/antivirus_whitelisting

[Trick or Treat/ How do you handle it when they come to your second life home?]

The "Bellisseria Citizens" group put out a notice about an organised trick or treat event in Bellisseria anyone can apply for their home to be part of it if they are willing to give something away. I put up a stand at the front of my home with a hot chocolate giver and the sweet bowl that was in the group notices i filled mine up with a few things i've made in the past including a couple of chairs, a pose (made with an inworld tool) and a t-shirt (Maitreya applier & System layer). As long as it's copy/trans and self made or a something that allows giving away free you can give trick or treater's anything you want

[What makes you keep going on SL and logging in almost everyday ?]

It's an escape from the stresses and strains of RL, the chance to forget about my long term health issues and feel like a normal person for a while. there's always something to do in SL and things that keep my interest so i seldom get bored

[What favorite food and or beverage do you enjoy while logged into second life]

I typically drink Coffee or Lemonade maybe Irn Bru, Cola, Cream Soda or fruit juice if i fancy it sometimes i might have some booze. food wise the time i'm logged in, in the evenings i'll have dinner rarely anything else
