    Dad's PDP-11 had two terminals, one in his office and one in his shop. The computer controlled his CNC milling machine and ran various mysterious programs he conjured up to make things. He usually didn't mind me looking over his shoulder while eating graham crackers, so long as I shared with him. But, there were times he needed quiet. Then he'd plunk me down at one of the terminals. If I wanted to chat, I'd have to learn to type. Where there's a will, there's a way. I'm still at it.

    He had a more colorful computer before that, probably a PDP-8. I know it had paper tape because I loved to stick my fingers in the little plastic cup that caught the dots, to stir them around and get them all over the place. It's been 40 years, but I still find dots around the house.

    DOTS! WE NEED MORE DOTS!!

    I work in game development, its hard for me not see things which could be improved, professional curse you could say so
     

    Producing higher quality items for sale is one of those proven techniques to increase sales. SL is now and has always been driven mainly by word-of-mouth. If you create items that are above average in quality and value, you will find a quicker path to reasonable income. If that's your goal of course.

    But on the flipside, LL has a very inscrutable and immutable plan of development for SL. We can and have made suggestions for years, sometimes at quite high volumes. But LL seldom alters their dev trajectory unless the feedback is quite loud and important.

    does ANS still work? I cannot seem to make it work.

    You might want to add some code to your PHP page that logs some of the SuperGlobals to a text / log file. Just to see if you're getting any sort of call from the Marketplace. For example you might want to var_dump or print_r the $_REQUEST, $_POST and $_ENV variables so you can go back and see what values were actually passed to your script.

    Beyond that I'm really at a loss to give any further advice as I can't say what might be going wrong.

    Truly, my mind is going. I mentioned to Iva the other day that I'd found some posts in an old Usenet astronomy group that I rather liked. I was confused, as posts which appeared written by the same person were attributed to different authors. I was even more confused to find my name on posts that made no sense. Then I realized that I was misreading the author tags on the posts and that the ones I liked had been written by me, 20 years ago. This annoyed me. I don't like feeling forgetful and liking myself is unseemly.

    Now, wondering who was the nut that used a city bus as a spaceship, I went looking through my computer for evidence. Here it is...

    That's not Arcadia Asylum's bus, so I got that wrong. I don't like feeling forgetful.

    Here's another pic...

    Notice the driver? Sooooo unseemly.

    Can we say .. BUS-ted ...

    ANS has been working fine for quite some time now. I use a service that uses ANS to catch every one of my sales transactions, report them to me, and even allows my customers to get redeliveries without having to ask me for one. And mine is not the only one. There are quite a few, some available for purchase, some self-made. But if ANS were to stop working .. trust me .. there would be a massive howl from the Merchant Community.

    Are you sure you enabled ANS in your Merchant Settings? Have you tried using their example PHP script to just see if your server is at least getting something from the Marketplace?

    organize mp products?

    Products in your MP Store are displayed using a method known only to LL. It seems to be based on interest, sales, maybe price too. But the actual method and what things they use to determine placement .. it's all a mystery.

    Short answer: You cannot set the display order yourself.

    I picked this outfit up at a store I found while out exploring along Route 7 on Gaeta 5 this morning.   The outfit comes with a hud with 20 options for the top and 10 options for the pants, so I thought that was a good deal for L$199.  

     

    Does it include band-aids for when that bicycle hits a bump and you go tumbling? :D

    @Phil Deakins

    This is how your post looks to me:ed422396d5d4dc8c5901f8d86b5475e9.png

    The @ sign and your name appear highlighted in my edit window.   Let's see what they look like when I post it.

    ETA And, as I rather suspected, they aren't highlighted after it's posted.   

    Is it just two-word names, or have they disabled it for all names. As a test, forgive me for this *jingle* @Talligurl

    ETA: Apparently it doesn't stick after submitting the post even for one-word names.

    ETAA: Or does it? Only the Forum Gods know for sure! LOL
