Caitlin Tobias

Okay, this is really a challenge for me, but: I managed to make 5 prims and attached them! Now, what did I win??

Brenda,thanks for the explanation you left on my weblog However, I am sorry but I don't really understand it. So just some thoughts: It costs 10 LS to get partnered, do you have that on your account? Or are you by any chance already/still partnered with someone else? Or, as I think you mentioned you do not get an errormessage, maybe the person you propose to just does not accept but does not tell you?

I am not sure what you mean with your avatar being denied..what is the error message you get? ANd are you trying it on your browser inworld, or just on the web?

This is the first time in three years that I can say I can log on and there is not one person on my friends list online at any given point in time. And all your friends leave SL because of new forum software? Seriously? I was inworld for 3 years before I entered the forums and am pretty sure I can still do without them...It's fun and educational at times yes, but not THE reason for being in SL. Well, not for me.

Oh cocktails! On my way!

I used to use my dashboard page as my home page, because it was a way of keeping in touch with what my friends were talking about. Whenever I sat at the computer, the first thing I wanted to look at was what were the latest threads in the forum? I rarely look at my dashboard anymore since we've changed over to the new forum format. And when I do look at it I am disappointed. I know how much money I have and I know what groups I belong to. I have a pretty good idea of when my friends are online and there's nothing much the dashboard has to tell me anymore. So now the first place I go when I sit at my computer is Twitter. How do you stay in touch? Hm. Same as before: inworld! With a very few I have contact via e-mail, if we can't be inworld for a while, but to be honest..I don't use fora for staying in touch with my friends.

ImperiuM Island (G) ! Heh, not only a great place for (learning) katanafighting, but there are also several secluded spots for a chat, chill or just hanging out! All are welcome! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ImperiuM%20Island/221/234/27

These are Avatars that some poor forgetful souls left standing around when they logged out and then they just never came back. It's a heart-breaking job sometimes, collecting all the lost abandoned Avatars. But fortunately for us, we have a dedicated crew of collectors that tirelessly plod the Grid, looking for those telltale vacant eyes, the limp backs and heads pointed toward the ground .. and the characteristic moss growing under their armpits. That's right kids .. be brave .. look right at them .. and remember this .. "There but for the grace of broadband, go I." Uh oh..

But, we don't. So, that fact should have answered your question. :smileyhappy: Actually, when I was a newbie...I thought they stayed! It was in that time when you had all those places with lots of campingchairs, and most of the time ppl sat there with their heads hanging down. My first weeks I thought those were abandoned avatars....Heh. (reason I used to logoff in some empty/private-like place..hahahha)

Girl make new girl and start SL all new and fresh, new girl needs to stay out of drama and just enjoy SL.

Is there anyone who can tell me how to change the sex of my avatar? If I could just do that for now I would be happy. People "in the game" are not very helpful at all. Aw, that's not a good experience! Okay, when you are inworld, IM me: Caitlin Tobias, I will be online later tonight and will be happy to help you get sorted!

@Venus....psst.....don't look, but there is a guy sneaking up on you!

@Immy, you mean the Bonobo's..hehe, it's renamed though, not sure in what. Anyway, one of the TG infohubs is transferred in its original state, and has lots of people there (I suppose teens), when I was there an hour ago to check: Lewis. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lewis/28/225/42

Picked up this lovely dress at Azul, this morning, it's the new (free..) groupgift, but as I was landscaping, I did not really bother to change the rest of my looks when I tried it..But I kind of like it anyway, my way of being casual/formal !

Well....wow...that does not only make you smile....but me too, what an adorable puppy!!!!! (I am sooo jealous now....lol)_

Always good for a BIG smile: Logging in after being absorbed by reallife work for a week, in my Linden Home and finding my best friend waiting for me on my sofa....sigh, that was just what I really needed! )))

Good point btw, it made me think, I blog a lot about places - I think I will put the rating in my posts..hm....

Aw..I find it sweet and gave them kudos for good luck! :smileyvery-happy:

@Peewee, it is odd indeed. To add more info ( you never know who can use it..) tonight while we were busy with all this, I asked other friends around us (they always saw her normal, I was really the only one seeing her grey/blurred) what viewers they use, it became clear that I am the only one in the group that uses V2. The rest is on different viewers as Imprudence, Phoenix and Rainbow (?). I just never bothered to ask around about viewers, thinking it was something in my PC or settings! So maybe it has to do with a 'connection' between V2 and others, I really can't think of something else at this point.

Okaaay.....I promised to get back, and do this in this string of comments So, I saw her tonight...all grey etc. We did rebake, unticked http textures, renderunloaded in debugs....all the options mentioned in here and NOTHING helped. Then I got her to log in with V2 for the first time of her life, for something else I wanted to show her ....ahem... and you know: ALL SOLVED. Then she got back to her precious TPV (Imprudence) and I still see her good and sharp, so whatever it was....her logging into V2 for once did the trick!

All of the suggestions above. Also, on the Linden Home webpage on the website wher ypu find the LM/Slurl/adress to your home, there is a button to invite your friends (alts in this case) to your new home, you can then send them an email! https://land.secondlife.com/en-US/lindenhomes/my-home.php

on a side note, I do not find this format of "ask a question - and reading answers/comments" intuitive at all...I am not a geek, nor am I a noob. Been there, done it on forums and message boards, but I wonder if this whole system is as user-friendly as it is supposed to be....
