yvw - being an "Oldbie" and a voracious reader of sl blogs helps! Happy shape making!

Personally I prefer falling... :matte-motes-shocked:

Here is a rl proportion guide. I think one of the biggest problems in SL is avatars with weirdly short arms. There are some awesome tutorials at this blog as well (this is where I got the picture below from): http://wehatewhatyourewearing.blogspot.com/2009/01/shaping-up-shapes-tutorial-part-1.html http://wehatewhatyourewearing.blogspot.com/2009/03/shaping-up-shapes-tutorial-part-2.html

I noticed it too - someone needs to throw a party!!

Once you get yourself back to normal create an outfit with the skin, hair, eyes, clothing etc and name it something easy to remember, like "reset outfit". The next time this happens click this folder and select "wear all" this should get you back to normal quickly.

Its possible that its a problem with LL's system (there was an issue earlier today... http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2011/06/07/post1311/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SecondLifeGridStatus+%28Second+Life+Grid+Status+Updates%29 Try waiting a bit or edit your post to give more information about the error message you are receiving (click the options button on the top right and then "edit post" to add more information). I would not recommend buying lindens thru any third party source. BTW - Did you try buying at market rate or by specifying a rate? Market rate sometimes takes a little while to go thru, specifying a rate can take longer.

Ah! Took these pics of my SL sister - she loves this style! I will have to check the credits (clothes, hair, location...) if anyone is interested let me know, the first is more steampunk Lolita... the second more goth (dress is made of bones!) but still a steampunk setting...

To me "kudos" mean - "good answer!" or "That was helpful" (you see them sometimes in the answers section - but many people ask in the forums instead of answers) and in many of the threads in fashion it seems apropos - maybe not in a vanity thread - but if you find something for someone or help them mod an attachment... I can see its use. I just don't take them seriously so am happy to hand them out when I feel like it. Happy to get them once in awhile too but its really no big deal, I don't care about rank. Edit for spelling

Hahahahahahah! I love all these topics... kudos... :matte-motes-evil:

There are some great fashion blogs that focus on freebies or nearly free: http://fabfree.wordpress.com/ http://slfreestyle.blogspot.com/

Also click the "What is Second Life" link at the top of this page (or the "what Next" link at the top of your dashboard). There are helpful links there to video tutorials etc. Welcome to Second Life and the forums!

I found this thru google, its fairly recent to I hope it helps (if you are premium you could try calling support but likely they will walk you thru the same solutions): http://www.ecu.edu/ecusecondlife/help/init_vfs.html It sounds like you have been doing your own homework as well, good luck with this problem.

There is no real reason to completely delete your account (you could downgrade to a basic account if you are premium and then just ignore it - this way your inventory will be there waiting for you if you ever want to come back). We have seen many people here on the forums asking how to get their account back a day, a week or months after cancelling their accounts. But if you really want to delete secondlife altogether first sell or abandon any land you might own and manually downgrade your account to basic (on the dashboard, under Account). Then go back to your dashboard and click Account>Cancel account and follow the steps. After that uninstall the viewer from your computer and you are done.

I think you would like Artilleri: http://artilleri.blogspot.com/ check out some of the fashion feeds for ideas and inspiration too: http://iheartsl.com/ http://shopaholicfeed.com/ These blogs and feeds usually provide Slurls which are links to their inworld stores. Click on a Slurl and your viewer should open (and take you there or if you are in-world a TP will pop up. Also shopping on the SL Marketplace will help you find good stores (you can always use the Slurls to visit the inworld shop). Click on "shopping" above and go to the marketplace, then search for rockabilly or pin-up.

Steamjunk seems pretty active. Steam Hunt Punks gets lively during their hunts.

There is alot if interesting information regarding server class here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/mono2-performance/Performance-comparisons-Class-5-vs-Class-7-amp-Mono-1-vs-Mono-2/m-p/870129/highlight/true#M46

Hi Wesli97, Also check out these blogs, the specialize in highlighting free goodies in second life! http://fabfree.wordpress.com/ http://slfreestyle.blogspot.com/ Have fun!

You could also get a job in-world, create your own service business or create something to sell to others.

I totally agree! C'mon LL give us a Home and Garden forum!

You might need to wear a specific group tag when you are trying to rez items on your land. This is a setting that landlords use tp prevent anyone but their renters from rezzing objects. Sometimes coalesced items are so big or have so many prims they cannot be rezzed on normal land. You might have to use a sandbox to open them. If there are Linden plants in the coalesced object you will run into problems trying to rez it at a sandbox most don't allow linden plants to be rezzed.

You have to manually update your tier - otherwise LL assumes you will be purchasing more land to fill your tier. Go to your dashboard at www.secondlife.com. On the left go to Account>land manager>land use fees. On that page scroll down to the "update tier" section and tick the box next to the fee you want to pay (if you click zero you still will be able to buy or hold a free 512 parcel). Make sure to click "Save changes". LL won't refund any unused tier but the next billing cycle will be at the new rate.
