Have you loaded custom global styles that could conflict with the pages here? nope plain vanilla Firefox as far as any appearance preferences goes except have set the font to the smallest size i can read. besides it does it in K-Meleon and IE too. btw my screen resolution is 1280x1024.

that. what font and font size can i use in Firefox to stop the listing being too wide to see the text at the end?

can anyone tell me what fonts and font sizes they use, if they can successfully view the page that lists recently active threads http://blogs.secondlife.com/thread and not have the last poster name and how long ago the post was made running out the end of the list panel thus obscuring it from view, using Firefox?

the last Presario i actually touched ... was a 486. so i have no earthly idea in terms of face to face with them what Compaq is doing these days. meanwhile. rent to own? mind if we ask how much your payments are? because it could be that with a little belt tightening and saving, if you have a local computer store that -just- sells computers and parts, the kind of place thats usually about as big as 3 or 4 moving vans glued together and wall to wall hardware, you might be able to build your own middle of the road system and lean heavy on the video card a little, and save a fair amount of money in the long run. those places also sometimes have a not bad pre-built system, new or used, but get the specs of it and come post here before committing if you go window shopping.

some graphics cards report like that because a Windows generic driver for that card is installed. once you have done as suggested and see more detail on the card in the Help > About second Life screen, you might go to Intel or Compaq site and search a driver that is specific to including that card. in fact if you gave me teh exact Compaq model name/number i might even be able to find it and give you the direct link to it, but its good to have a look yourself.

humans are creative beings. that creative force we have is more than just a gift or talent, it is quite literally able to mold the reality around us, and is far more powerful than some realize. reality is born as a thought, that is the seed of it, and you plant that seed by expressing that thought, you nourish and fertilize it by continuing to express supporting thoughts and it grows into the reality that the thought was the picture of. if your thought is of a world in which everyone is out to get you, and your expressions all support it, that is the reality you will create around yourself. to change the reality in which you live, begin with the thoughts you think, change them, think the reality you desire and express it, nurture it, it will grow into existence, and stop nurturing the one that needs to fade.

i can't remember where i heard it now the first time, and i have heard it more than one time, but i will never in my life be able to hear the question "Does this <whatever> make my butt look fat?" without hearing the comeback "Your butt makes your butt look fat."

every ATI i ever had has had that issue in OpenGL or Direct* either one. Nvidia isnt immune but its happened a lot less, tho i still now get faster frame rates with VBO off with my current Nvidia 7300 GS

I never asked to have my password reset. The email contains a line at the bottom saying "Your IP Address .....) which seems to be a Comcast IP from halfway across the country. I haven't clicked any of the links. My password is a random upper and lower case with numbers and puntuation marks, so I hope it's pretty secure. I looked at the email headers and it really is from LL. It's very unsettling. I'm not sure what I should do about it. along with the advice already given of reporting it to the Lab, change the email address associated with the account, and if possible don't use a popular one like yahoo, hotmail, gmail etc. it's probably not a bad idea to make a new one for the purpose, and with the new one when it asks for an alternate email also don't use one of the popular services.

and to make matters worse are people like me lol i'm a gemini and i have as many moods as i do hairs on my head, so one day if you wander in my house you might get to guinea pig one of my silly toys like the one that throws things anything from coffee cups to pigs to toilets to volkswagens, another day you might just get to be my audience if i'm, um, amorously engaged, another day because i am a vampire i might feel a bit thirsty and try to bite you but never will i be angry or irritable about it unless whoever wanders in deliberately instigates that kind of response

Monderas.Bristol wrote: Yes it is true that an AV can do this. I was alone in the club where I work and someone started talking to me,they could see me,knew where I was and what I was wearing,but I couldn't see them there or on my radar which can scan the whole sim region. They were also able to contact me the next time I logged on even though I hadn't friended them. On that occasion they weren't a particular nuiscance but there is always the mute option of course. huggz and kisses Mondy the first time, if this isn't just an alt of someone you know, could be what i will call 'opportunistic stalking'. bring up the map, zoom out a bit and look for single dots, and go check them out. when one looks likely or interesting, start talking. as to knowing when you are online, that in itself is a separate thing from being able to know where you are. there are a few HUDs on the commerce sites that make use of a script command that can tell whether any avatar the script knows a name or a key for is online, but not where they are. and they can do this without the friends list being involved at all. a couple of viewers can tell it too but unlike the HUD, the viewers have no feature to alert when someone not on a friends list logs on. oh and a person in an adjacent sim can see into that sim yet not show up on a scripted radar hud. some of those can't scan adjacent sims and some that can sometimes glitch. as far as i am aware however no it is not possible to hide from the mini-map or the map, though yes i believe there are some tricks to distort the actual location by a short distance.

Landon.Raghilda wrote: Although a wide variety of answers and scenarios have been provided and discussed on this topic, I can think of one most obvious thing that wasn't. It was something to which I gave much attention upon first entering SL. Gender and/or species aside, how many of us actually model our avatars after our rl bodies? How many of the men look at those "perfectly" shaped women in SL and think, "That must be a mirror image of the modelesque body sitting behind the monitor," or how many women see the huge bronzed muscles on a male avi and would expect to see that same image were they to knock on his rl door? It's a game. It's not REAL life, it's SECOND Life. We are not here to create accurate portrayals of reality, but what we might wish to be, or merely to let our imaginations run free. By the way, this is what I really look like: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x200/drexious/RL%20Me/Explosive-Muscle-3.jpg i know a lot of people whose avatars bear no resemblance to their RL, some just create a character from whole cloth so to speak, and some specifically go to make an opposite of their rl, making their av petite if they are a little hefty in rl, and so on. but i do also know a few people, and i am one of them, that do try to make their av as much like they are in real life as possible. i can't speak to their reasons, but as for me it helps me identify, helps my sense of immersion, and a couple of people i know have said the same applies to them. however i do also have more than one avatar, and while each does sort of share a gene pool with me, the others since my original do depart a bit from that in various ways.

as far as my side of the equation - for casual friendships or casual relationships that go beyond friendship to an extent, in other words anything that exists only in SL and is not going to RL, i personally don't care who or what someone is in real life. only if we are going to get together in real life does it matter to me. i prefer honesty but honesty is kind of a subjective thing sometimes, by which i mean it is your sl persona i want to interact with, and rl doesn't matter until, well, until it does matter. in sl i have male avatars and they are straight males, i have female avatars and they are straight females. in rl i am a straight male, so straight i bite hot dogs in the middle, and that is why if things are going into the realm of rl, then yes, it makes a difference. having said that though, i know that to some people it does matter about rl gender, and it is on me to be aware and sensitive to that and alert for signs that it does matter to someone if one of my female avatars is engaging them beyond a simple hello how's the weather, and it is also on them to be aware that while i don't feel the need to hang an "i'm a male in rl " sign somewhere in the females' profiles, they should let my girls know if things get to that stage that the rl gender would matter to them and i haven't already broached the subject myself. oh and to answer the question some of you may want to ask so you don't have to, yes my girls have interacted with females but only twice and in both cases the ladies i was with in my female form did in fact know my rl gender right from the start.

you December respondents, look at the date of the OP. i'm not sure she even WAS a Linden back then. or if she was she was perhaps posting a question in order to answer it herself as a way of helping others with the same question, she has another thread where she does that.

please if you can avoid it stay away from anything that has the word 'shared' in the same sentence as the word 'memory' and i haven't dealt with ATI cards for years now but when i did... well there is a reason i stopped.

Kahlua.Werefox wrote: thank you the graphics card is what confuses me so much when lookin at pcs. i was looking into a laptop but meh. well there might be exceptions of individual hardware/software combinations but in my own experience an Nvidia 6300 video card did okay with SL, i mean nothing to jump up and down about but it did run it, which means barring some conflict with a specific card or something new that SL doesnt yet support on a newer card, any 6-series and better Nvidia should do okay. but if that machine has an expansion slot (and if it doesn't i wouldn't buy one at gunpoint) a new card is dirt cheap anymore compared to what they used to be unless you get one of the uber-hyper-turbo top of the line ones that practically warp-eights itself to your house for you when you buy it.

you're better off asking about Emerald on the Emerald forums where some of the users have been using Emerald since its birth. but on that old card you have, one suggestion is to disable all the eye candy you can, another is to keep the draw distance as low as you can, another is, on the graphics tab, with the custom checkbox ticked, go into the hardware options and disable vertex buffer objects. my card is the next generation up from yours (nvidia 7300 GS) and it still has trouble with VBO. also grab the latest nvidia driver if you haven't already. after you've done all that, enable the Advanced menu, open the debug settings, and set VectorizeEnable and VectorizeSkin to TRUE. also on the Advanced menu, go to Rendering > Run Multiple Threads and enable that. if your machine can take advantage of that it will, if it can't it won't hurt anything. and i think i will disagree with using the Normal as opposed to the Optimized version. if you can run the Optimized version at all, that means your processor supports the SSE2 instruction set. the Normal version is for processors that only support SSE. there is also a snowglobe-emerald hybrid in the downloads on the Emerald page. it was crashtastic on my machine but it's an option.

Information apportée par le support Linden Lab. Merci Hello If you are resident on a whole sim with manager rights, DO NOT USE Emerald viewer : many objects can be deleted randomly. source : Linden Lab support. Thank you Got that in a Group Notice from a land owner's group that I belong to. Any truth to this or just more Emerald bashing? well, i'd hesitate to necessarily say bashing, i'd rather suspect language barrier and misunderstanding, although it is also not inconceivable to me that one or more people at LL don't like Emerald, and also anytime any third party viewer is mentioned in a support ticket that automatically lets them off the hook because then they can blame whatever is the problem on the viewer and don't really have to solve anything.

talk to your DSL provider and get them to give you a different IP. if it is an IP ban that should hopefully fix it, but you still need to try get LL to remove that ban in case the DHCP server at your provider gives it to you again. i wouldn't think it would be a hardware ban, but you can check that by connecting a different computer to the modem and see if the problem persists. worst case scenario if LL won't lift the ban and the DSL provider won't change the IP, you may have to switch providers to get a new IP.

no dont transfer anything from any existing alt, make one and keep it pristine, if he has access to any existing login he can come to the sl web and look at transaction histories

with the emerald viewer, you can see who the crosshairs belong to, it labels them, and you can disable your own being seen. tho that also means if someone is camming you using Emerald and has theirs disabled yuo wont know it.
