You can put in a support ticket, there is a type just for sim restarts. If you are on a BlueSteel, LeTigre or Magnum region, it's going to be restarted this morning anyway.

Ha, I expected them to drop the ball but thought they wouldn't be caught surprised until December 23. Google warned two years in advance that they would start charging.

There is an actual bug with animations where avatars can jump around between animations, and I'm absolutely positive it's not a matter of having a big enough cache. AVSitter is definitely not a cure, in fact I've seen it most often on furniture that uses it. The root positioning information gets lost somewhere, while the rest of the animation seems to play normally. It seems to trigger more often if public chat or other actions that trigger built-in anmations are in use. Several months ago I saw it happen in any viewer, lately I've only noticed it happen when stuck on Firestorm.

VFS doesn't age out all that fast, even with the default cache size. If there are persistent skips within a single login, something else is wrong. Even the largest animation assets with the new updated limits are only 120K apiece. Mesh assets in LL's format are generally not all that large either. It's a mystery why anyone is talking about BVH, that's only a viewer input format that is never uploaded to the grid.

That's not how the cache works. Animations go into a part of the cache called VFS, which contains most assets that aren't textures or sounds. VFS is strictly first in, first out. Ugh fixed a typo that wasn't there.

OK, I bought a copy to play with, and the whole thing is only 4 prims (and a 5th if you want the snow caps). It is really easy to strech out with edit linked parts. The geometry is very straightforward, just a little horizontal pulling will do the job. It is not one of those scary multi-prim monsters that hurt to think about. Maybe add a little note to the item description. Something like "Basic editing skills are needed for a custom fit. Use 'edit linked parts' to stretch the deck, rails, and ends." For a static item at this price, I don't think a fancy resize script is necessary.

Go to my.secondlife.com and log in Click Settings (gear icon) on the left. Top middle, click on the Privacy tab. Scoll down, look for Send you messages. Change it to Friends or Nobody. (The default "Second Life" setting lets any avatar send you messages, and if that's what you need, then you are in a bind.)

They know. Their response was to write a generic blog post about it. I wouldn't expect much more, LL seems content to sell ad space to malware distributors anyway.

LL put Adsense on their page, and they can decide what ads can go on their pages, so they don't get to shoulder the blame off on Google. And yeah, I've seen ads for the same video player scam.

Ok, so SL is running banner ads for iLivid, which if someone were to install it, is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about in the past post. iLivid is a downloader for a rebranded copy of VLC that also installs adware. So, there is a good chance the banner you saw was from them, and served up by LL and not any infection on your end. (VLC is ordinarily a perfectly legitimate program, these guys are just trying to make a buck off someone else's open source project.)

Looks like common adware. Lots of dodgy download sites, often places offering little game or utility things, will put this junk in their installers. Take a look in your browser extensions and see if there are any you don't recognize, a common hallmark (they don't all do this but it's a good hint) is that they will give them useful sounding names like "ad blocker" or "youtube" but they won't have proper icons. Usually these are easy to get rid of. Just delete the unfamiliar extensions from your browser. Go to add or remove programs in your control panel, sort by date, and uninstall anything recent that looks unfamiliar. That will get rid of most of these. If you are still getting unexplained ads, there are lots of decent adware scanners around. Find a good one and let it run a sweep. Adding - I just switch off ad blocking to see what LL is letting thru these days, and they are letting really dodgy ads appear on the dashboard. I'll leave that disabled for a while to see if LL is serving up this media plyer one.

It's a long time since I tested it, but my recollection is certainly that it's two way, and that's also what the Knowledge Base article seems to suggest: Yes, the interest list blocks avatars on both sides of the parcel boundary when that flag is enabled. The way I have land set up, I see this in action every day. But there is a bug right now, people inside a parcel with invisibility can see avatars that are two regions away. There is a fix for this currently running on LeTigre and BlueSteel.

this can happen if either of those sculpted items are realyl mesh objects, or you have applied newer features like materials to any of them. Either of those will force all of the link st to switch to new style accounting. Change the physics type on as many parts as you can to convex hull or none, then try linking again.

Which would be better at adjusting, say, the shape of female human mesh avatar using the standard sliders? asra Orfan's avatars have been using the collision volume method (calling it "brane mesh deformer") for a while now, and it actually works pretty well. (This maker also got chest jiggle working in a fashion, using a special animation and tweaked rigging.)

You did use that filter on the whole image, it shows in your result. The Windows image viewer doesn't display alphas correctly, so it's not great to see what you really have.

I thought you might have been using something like that. The problem with that color to alpha filter is that it operates on the whole image. Even a partial color match in the foreground will become partially transparent (looks like the jacket originally had a sort of criss cross pattern). If you really like that filter, you'll just have to vary your background colors with each clothing item, to make sure you have something that really isn't present in the materials. To save this image, you will want to use a different selection method on the original screen shot. If you don't mind working with channels, you can get the alpha explosed in PS, then touch up the cloth with a brush to make it solid again.

Those spammers want to stuff the text into search engines, they don't care about anybody here. LL doesn't employ enough moderators for real 24/7 coverage, so the ones we have get to clean up big messes each time they start work.

Your profile is empty, and you've hidden the web version completely. A lot of people will think that looks suspicious. Make it visible. You don't have to put anything special in the "about" section, even a simple "hello there!" will make you seem much more approachable.

You might have two defaults, the usual default plus another state called, say. "active". Inside your default event you would not have any touch*events at all. In your "active" state, you would have the touch* events. You would have the HTTP communications events in both states, so that you can learn when it is time to switch modes.

On the LSL side, switch to a different state, one that does not have touch* events.

You'll find that SL DJs are not into listing themselves on Shoutcast anyway. They are all running what the record companies see as pirate radio, and a listing there would turn them into easy targets, while gathering listeners outside SL to eat up their limited broadcast slots.

People already using winamp and happy with it can keep on using it. Like the shoutcast server, it doesn't actually need AOL to be there. The only big dependency was the shoutcast.com yp service, and that isn't really necessary. It's just a directory.

The protocols are in the streaming software, it doesn't actually have to phone home to AOL.
