Below are three tutorials I found by googling "making a prim skirt" hope these help! http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/2006/12/day-97-making-flexi-prim-skirts-with.html http://inesogura.weebly.com/1/post/2010/12/prim-skirt-making.html

You can't downgrade to a basic account without abandoning your land first. So yes, you will lose your Linden Home. Look around and see if you can find a rental you like before you decide to downgrade.

I agree with what everyone else said (when it comes to picking skin its a personal decision). I recently switched from laq to Pulse and I love my new skin - I am wearing it in my badge photo.

You could try Pulse skins... here is a link to their blog: http://slpulse.blogspot.com/ also "brazen women" here is their store at the marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/9152 also search Ina Centaur in world or at the marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/19352?search =2&search[per_page]=12&search[store_id]=19352

It takes 45 days for the sign up bonus to be paid. I am not sure why you can't tp to your Linden Home and why you are having trouble opening boxes. What kind of error messages are you getting?

After doing a bit of searching through the website and wiki I can't find anything about the purpose of auction ID numbers.. Perhaps that number is only used internally for LL's purposes. Even when I searched for a parcel that was currently up for auction by the ID number the search did not even find that. I would say you will have to confine your searches to the parcels that are already up for auction or continue to watch the auction page for the parcel you want. It's impossible to know where a particlular parcel is in the auction queue and when it will come up for auction as far as I can tell.

Have you tried the "search land auctions" box on the left?

Most of my in-world friends don't post on the forums. There are a number of friends who I met on the forums and later friended in world who no longer post here much. So mostly I stay in touch with sl friends by communicating in-world. I have 3 or 4 sl friends on my rl FB friends list and its fun to keep up with their lives that way. Sometimes we communicate through Skype or other IM's too. I don't Tweet and I rarely post updates on FB (only rl, I don't discuss SL on facebook - or anyplace else really). I totaly agree that the dashboard is no longer an interesting place to visit.

I assume you are talking about the "see me online" boxes in the friends list. I have on occassion un-checked the wrong person by mistake. I once had a very good friend mute me be mistake (and that was really hard to fix! - we both thought we were ignoring each other until I recruited a third party as go between and the mistake was discovered). Mistakes happen. Then again I have unchecked those boxes on purpose and then sent an IM before re-checking it - causing my friend to ask if I was hiding from them (DRAMA!). So either way, don't take it personally - everyone has their own style of being in SL - some people don't like to be pestered by IM's while they are busy or concentrating on something. If you start to obsess about it you will only drive them further away.

I'm now getting to the point of giving up and just wearing this Gala for eternity - no matter how outdated it becomes. The only solution, as far as I can see, is a revolution in how our avatars are rendered and the way skins are made. Until then, it's an endless quest. My main complaints about skins on the market are these: the mania for excessive makeup the 'guillotine' collarbone the fuzzy nipples/bellybutton the 'heroin-addict'-vein 'realistic' look butt cleavage from hell I have no idea what is involved in making a skin. I presume only six people in the world have PHDs in graphic design - and they're employed by Adobe rather than making skins in Second Life. It must be almost impossible to make an SL skin, so I await a technological revolution. Will mesh help? Regarding makeup - something current creators do have control over - would it be possible for women to design skins because the makeup I see on most skins is some guy's insane fantasy of what he thinks girls like to wear. No woman wears purple metallic spraypaint. Purple metallic spraypaint is for cars. I mean, yeah, sure, do some skins for the Cybergoth scene, but maybe only two or three. The other 200 in the product line should be for normal wear. End rant :smileywink: Well, I think you have some more shopping to do. There are SO many skin designers out there, making anything and everything, there is something for everyone. Almost every skin maker makes a "natural" version without purple spray paint. There are old skins, young skins, glam skins, au naturale skin, ethnic skins, fantasy skins - so many options. Just start exploring and you are likely to find what you want. Or post a pic of what you are looking for and let others help you find it, there is a wealth of helpful people here who can point you in the right direction.

You handled it perfectly, better than I might have... hilarious!

Fantastic tip...! I am really wishing I could give you kudos, Thanks

Here are a couple of blogs and you can check their blog rolls (usually on the lower right side) for even more links. Have fun and enjoy!

I live on the Mainland and have for years. Luckily it appears that I have missed this phenomena completely (no nearby roads). It sounds awful. My sympathy goes out to the landowners that have to suffer this deluge.

Marianne Little wrote: And bigger breasts is just a shape away, click "wear" and instant cup change! A cup or double F? Both! (Not the same time of course!) Well, the problem Marianne is that with many skins if you reduce the breast size with the slider there are these weird "shadows" drawn under the breasts that shouldn't be there for smaller breast sizes. Some skins look pretty awful when you are topless (and small breasted).

Optionally you can create a new account with the name you would prefer. If you haven't been in SL too long (and haven't acquired a lot of expensive, non-transferrable objects) then this might be a good option. Just let your friends know your new avatar's name and friend them on the new account, same for groups you have joined. ETD for typos

The Phoenix team also has pretty good customer support in world so it would be best to ask them there. I am pretty sure the Phoenix support people don't monitor LL's forums so in asking here you will only get other users input. Personally I use Phoenix and I love it.

EEEEk! Call me naive but prim feet are club-like and gross, I totally agree that our regular avatar feet are ugly but the attachments look just as weird to me... especially in poses, I suggest shopping for skins with decent feet, its one of the first thing i look for in a new skin.. many of the high fashion skins ignore the feet assuming their customers will buy "feet" but there are other skins that are nice enough to wear bare foot. I love to go bare foot in sl, and i hate to think I have to add prim toes or feet to do so -its a pet peeve of mine so excuse my rant

hey, hi, how are you doing? welcome to the forums and nice badge! Looking forward to your future posts!

It is my home of course, bathed in the light from the setting sun on the west coast of the Nuba region on Sansara. Soon to be remodelled (again!).

omg thank you so much....! :smileysurprised: uh oh... now i will have to wait and hope and yea verily pray that someone else will post after me... oh the stress!

(Hi cousin!) These forums have felt odd from the beginning - but maybe they are getting better. At first it seemed that my posts spelled the death of a thread - no replies, no nothing (I was getting a little paranoid)... but lately its maybe a little better. To be honest I am thrilled with the one Kudo I received on the answers tab. I have never been one to subscribe to a thread - and here it seems that many threads die off the first page and are forgotten so I scan thru but don't spend as much time as I used to - I am actually spending more time in world.

You have to change your look every few years in SL or you start to look dated and people won't take you seriously, case in point: /me hopes I don't get banned for blasphemy, lol (just kidding Phil - no really..../me winks)
