I noticed this evening that if I use the "Mark site read" link in the upper right of the main forum page, that it still gives a confirmation box. Still not on individual sub-forums.

If at any time you EVER owned Mainland or a Linden Home, your tier billing date gets set upon first tier usage, even if the bill amount is $0 because you are within your allowed tier amount (used to be 512 and is now 1024). Even if you sell your property or abandon your Linden Home, the bill date stays associated with your account. If you drop Premium and then get it again, you'll still have the same monthly billing date as you had the first time around. Found all that out with one of my alt accounts.

Probably groups of Tiny Empires avatars.

Yes. I have 70 slots and 68 are full, with 2 reserved for my above noted usages.

It is an ongoing project that we've already been told will take months and it is/was slated to be completed sometime this fall. I wouldn't really expect any updates until mid-late fall.

I leave a slot open regularly for doing the quick join/leave of some of the freebie groups - like Fabulously Free and such - in order to claim a gift. I also keep a second slot open for short term memberships like a hunt group or such that I want to stay in for more than a few minutes, but definitely not long-term. Every now and then I'll run across a new store group that I want to join and then I have the agony of trying to figure out which of my other groups I'm going to leave.

I finally binged my way through Carnival Row and Upload, via Amazon Prime. Looking forward to season 2 of both.

Due to this, the MP that I'm thinking of starting up will likely be under one of my older alts.

I have quite a few still running around in the SL default avatars. Then again, they aren't really allowed out in public either.

I've never before had it mark the forum as read without the popup confirmation box - until today. I clicked on the 'Mark forum as read' link in a few forums yesterday and it did give the confirmation box every time. I've also clicked that link a few times today and have not yet had a confirmation box.

This is a Resident to Resident forum, so you aren't talking to LL. LL will never respond back on an Abuse Report to say whether or not they did anything. All you will ever get is the email indicating they received it. If someone is pushing you around, you can always Sit on the Ground and they then can't move you. Some of the viewers also have a Move Lock option that you can set that will prevent others from pushing you.

You'll only have to use the drop down if the previous home you claimed was one of the older ones OR if you typed in a name on one of the older ones and proceeded to the next page to lock the name in. I've found that I can type in a nonsense name and click Next faster than I can click the drop-down, click Bellisseria and then click Next. Therefore, I don't bother with pre-populating the name anymore.

Yep, you are correct. I didn't think it let you because the "Get your home now' link is not on the main Dashboard page, over to the right side. You have to expand Land Manager and click no Linden Home, and then click the 'Get your home now' link. It will show all homes though -- it just showed my non-premium alt a Victorian. ETA: Unless it is one of LL's large releases, there likely won't be enough time to go through the Premium signup and still actually claim the home that was seen on the page.

Many of the reccurring events are listed here: https://www.seraphimsl.com You might also find some listed in the Destination Guide. Google might help in finding other listings.

I'm always curious about the daily behavior of those who immediately think about being banned when they can't log in.

It made perfect sense to me. I understood the context to be related to those that were hoping for much less LL control of the Party area.

I created multiple alts and made them Premium in order for them to donate their tier to the land group. At the time, when Premium membership was lower, it was cheaper than paying the increased tier monthly fee, especially for odd amounts of land. These days, I use alt accounts so that I can have more than one style of Linden Home and still maintain property on the Mainland. I also have alts created to help test permissions of things and I've created a male alt to help with positioning of male poses. In the true definition of things, this account is an alt, even though it is now my main account. I was originally created to explore a different side of SL than my original account. This one ended up making friends and finding a sort of family with a great group of folks and ended up taking over as the account that was the one always online. These days, the other accounts now mostly only log on to give me their stipends (for the Premium ones) or deal with Linden Home stuff that only the owner can deal with or help with a bit of testing.

In addition to the $40 to change your name, you also have to be a Premium member. So, at the minimum, you'll need to also pay for a one month membership if you are not already Premium. Premium memberships can be gifted, so I imagine that you can gift the Name Change also. Just remember that the Premium membership requirement would also apply to whomever you wanted to gift a Name Change to.

I wish we could Abandon via the web page. I can have a browser up at work to refresh and claim a home, but even working from home it is a pain to get the Abandon done. I can often tell from the map whether or not I want a spot, yet I still have to log inworld to abandon a location. ETA: Then again, LL probably figures in helps slow down the claim/abandon/refresh process.

I'm pretty sure it is this one: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/BHG-Winchester-Stucco-Traditional-Linden-Home-Add-On/19576859

If you want to just wait, sometime late fall / early winter, LL will be releasing the next theme -- the Stilt homes that are on display at SL17B. When those are released, the release will be multiple thousands of homes -- at least 2000-3000. Not only will those homes be released, but there will likely be more of the existing themes release, and there will definitely be plenty of folks abandoning their existing home to switch to the new theme.

Oh nice --- where did the living room furniture come from, please?

Anyone that joins will pay and that money belongs to the group. Each night the group money will be paid out automatically to everyone that has the "pay liabilities' ability via their role(s). If you are the only one with that ability, you will receive all money in the group each night.

Best I know, you cannot - because there is really no guarantee of what those land fees will be until the end of each month. LL does not know for sure that you will not increase or decrease your land holdings. However, what you can do is create a 'Buy L$' order for a crazy buy exchange rate that will not be filled. That will cause the order to sit in your Open Order section of your Lindex History. You can then cancel the order and the US $ will go into your USD Balance and just sit there until LL needs to use it for charges --- LL always uses any USD balance first, before your payment method, when it charges you for stuff. i.e. Use the right side of the Buy screen and give it an exchange rate of L$500 and in the US $ field, put in however much money you want to have pulled from your payment method to save for upcoming charges.
