When they offer me my award, I will surely send an alt in as a proxy to collect it. I'd be just to shy and modest to get up on the stage and receive it myself. I'm against the idea. That's my only thought. Edited to add: It would alienate more people than it would impress, it would, as Dilbert points out, cause certain negative issues (even these little photo contests that LL run on these forums have a large element of bitching and cheating going on).

If someone is using a Display Name to harrass your wife, then your wife can submit an abuse report inworld by clicking on the "Help" at the top of the viewer screen and "report abuse". If it is just a case of someone having the same Display Name, then please put it down to a coincidence. After all, look how many David Jones or John Smith named people there are in the United Kingdom.

Hello, Illyriana, I am sorry I am unable to help you with this problem, as I do not know why you are not able to view mesh currently. Could you please change the colour of your original post to black, or a dark colour. It is not very easy to read, and this may be discouraging people from responding. I am sure other people will then come along and advise you how to get mesh working again. Can you please also add to your thread to tell us which viewer you are actually using. Many thanks.

I wouldn't risk it either.

I've never known LL terminate a delinquent account, but an account that has been suspended for a late payment that remains unpaid just doesn't get reinstated until/unless payment is made. I don't know how this affects the inventory though, whether it is all kept forever, or whether the account becomes like an account that has been deleted by the resident themselves, for whom the inventory becomes irretrievable after a couple of months.

Your payments for Premium Membership will be automatically taken from your account monthly, if you have elected to pay monthly. Linden Lab do usually send out an email to remind you that your Premium Membership is coming up for renewal on a particular date, but as emails can land up in a black hole somewhere, it's always wise to just know that you have to pay until/unless you opt to cancel your Premium Membership. As Charolotte says, if you have insufficient funds in the account you registered with LL from where they will take payments, you do get reminders, but run the risk of having your account suspended until payment is made. However, you would still be able to access Second Life on an alternative avatar account, although that would be treated as a wholly separate entity to your main avatar's account, with unconnected inventory/friends lists/etc.

I never looked at my own armpit up that close before. Comparing the above with my avatar's armpit, I clearly see the difference. Theresa's advice looks worth a try. Please let us know what fixes this problem for you.

Unless youREALLY want to see mesh crap, you don't need V3. Some might say, "But V1 and V2 are going to be phased out". Sure they are, that is why I still use V1 almost 3 years after it was to be "phased out". I absolutely agree with all of this. Mesh may well be here, but why make life harder for ourselves until/unless we absolutely have to!

We still don't know what sort of graphics card you've got Cindy. This would give a further clue to your problem I think. 

Welcome to Second Life Answers, Mikey Freezing then crashing can be a sign of an interruption in your connection. However, you can get more of a clue if you select to "view consoles" from the Advanced menu at top of screen. You have to relog for the second (console) window to show up though, and when you next freeze up, look at the console window and you'll see if it's your connection not responding, or you might get another clue as to what is causing your problem. It could be because of the deploys that took place this week, although I have spent several consecutive hours inworld and not had first hand experience of this happening. You're not using wireless are you? 

Someone else with a similar issue to yourself - more and more I believe it is a problem with your graphics card http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Viewer/viewer-issues/m-p/1621555/highlight/false#M15534 There will probably be some answers come up on the other thread that will apply to your current problem too, so I'd advise you keep an eye on that one as well as your own.  

Welcome to Second Life Answers, fluffyevilbunny You might have answered your own question there :catsad: For now you could try updating the graphics card drivers on the machine you are using, but if it's sooo old, and not at even minimum specs, you might not be able to access SL with all the full graphics. However, if it's just for chit chat and socialising, you can still access Second Life via one of the approved third party lite/text-only clients. For information about minimum specifications required look here please ... https://secondlife.com/my/support/system-requirements/index.php? For further information about third party viewers go here ... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory

I believe it was Thinkerer who mentioned Firestorm, or gave a link to Firestorm/Phoenix. Firestorm and Phoenix are just alternative viewers. Approved Third Party Viewers. Because we all have different computer set-ups, or take part in different activities in Second Life, we sometimes try out different viewers. If you are happy with the Second Life official viewer, there is no reason to diversify. Over the years, as more features have been added, some graphics cards have struggled, hence why some viewers will work ok, while some viewers, including the Second Life official viewer, will struggle or not work at all. 

Hello again, Cindy. Thank you for providing a screenshot. I am thinking more and more it is your graphics card. Going back to my earliest months in Second Life, I used to get textures not loading, and sudden crashes, with the very same crash logger message you are getting. Please add your system specifications to your thread, and we'll take a look and see what we can do to get you running properly. I smiled when I read your last comment - about coming on here to enjoy Second Life - that's how it should be. I wrote someting similar on a JIRA (bug report), got very frustrated at not being able to log in at one time, because of a bug in the system. Maybe you just need to update your graphics drivers, maybe it is the card itself that is struggling with SL, but the system specifications will give us more to go on. 

Hello again, Cindy I don't really understand why you decided to uninstall the viewer at all. It would have been far simpler to have at least tested what I suggested, to unplug your modem for a few minutes. Also, it probably would be useful if you would post your computer specifications here. If it isn't your connection, then it could well be your type of graphics card. I would always recommend starting with the simpler, more common fixes to common problems, and work up to major things like uninstalling and reinstalling.

Peace! I'm laughing, Hippie, as I had such a wonderful time over at valerie's a few weeks ago, but no way would all of you fit into my little 512m housey, and it would surely frighten my cockatiel :matte-motes-oh-rly: I still feel rather bad at squishing one of valerie's squirrels while I was dancing (actually I think it was Maddie who squished it really, but she kicked it under my feet). I fashioned it into a purse (recycle and reuse is my motto). LOL Marigold. We do have fun huh. If you are space inhibited, no worries. I can find a place for you to host. Woot! Peace! Ohhh, I'm never really "space inhibited", Hippie, - after all the whole of SL belongs to MEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEE :matte-motes-big-grin-wink: (she says, sitting firmly, claiming squatters rights)  

Carl is right, run the character test. If you are using the Second Life official viewer it might be in a slightly different place to the 1.23 viewer or Phoenix, but it is in one of the menus that drop down from the top of the screen. (look for Test Character, and then when you click on that you get sub-menus with Test Female - this takes your avatar back to a basic starter one). You cannot delete things that are in the "library" section of your inventory. They are the core elements of everybody's inventory. You can, however, always delete the components of an outfit that you do not wear, ie a jacket layer if you always wear the vest layer. 

girl, when you buy a camera, you get a small built-in memory. When you buy a phone, you get a small built-in memory. Part of these contain a component that allows you to run certain graphics. It's much the same with a computer. When you change a graphics card in a computer, you still need to be able to see the screen, so that you can follow instructions on a website to get the up-to-date drivers for it. So, I am thinking that you are able to currently run low-level graphics type games (such as solitaire or minesweepers) without having a graphics card installed, but no way will you be able to run Second Life. You need to have a proper graphics card of some description installed in your computer in order for you to be able to run Second Life. System specifications required for running Second Life are over on this web page ... https://secondlife.com/my/support/system-requirements/

I don't know if I should unistall my second life viewer then re install? or maybe it's the game. But is anyone else expierencing these problems? Check your connection, as it sounds like this may be your problem. Unplug your modem for a few minutes to reset it. Uninstalling and reinstalling is something I rarely feel the need to do, and do not advise it in your situation. 

This really does sound like a connection issue. Unplug your modem for a few minutes to reset the connection.

Sometimes things do get stuck. Relog into a different sim and try again to detach the skirt. 

Things you can try: Unplug your modem for a few minutes, to reset your connection. Update your graphics card drivers. Click on "options" in the top right hand corner of your original post and "edit" to add your full computer specifications to this thread. More replies are sure to follow - please keep checking back (and also let us know when you get your solution). Wishing you luck.

There is nothing stopping you from submitting a support ticket to Linden Lab to ask if you could possibly buy that parcel of abandoned land. The general rule is that you should already own a parcel of land that surrounds the parcel you want on three sides, and should measure less than 512m, but I always say, if you don't ask, then you don't get. They might sell it to you, or they might just advise you to keep an eye on the auctions. The official answer to your enquiry is over on the official Second Life Knowledge Base. Here is the link to that ... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Abandoned-land/ta-p/846143 I wish you loads of luck.

Welcome to Second Life Answers, Rock I would actually guess it's your internet connection, and would advise you to unplug your modem for a few minutes to reset the connection. It sounds like the connection is being interrupted in the middle of Second Life loading.
