Thanks. I've always used magaprims for my sky platforms and never had any issues.

Interesting - from everything we've ever known before about the ability to sell L$, you shouldn't have been able to until the end of the month since your first L$ purchase was Feb 1st. Maybe LL lightened up a bit on that rule and started allow some selling earlier - maybe thinking people might want to get a US $ balance to pay for tier or Premium dues. If the old rules still hold true, you won't be able to Process credit until Mar though.

The 'Newbie' designation has to do with the Forums only and is totally dependent on the number of posts you have made here. Your own usage of mesh vs system/classic avatar should not impact whether or not you can see other people who are wearing mesh bodies. If you cannot see them, that would indicate a connection issue that is preventing you from rendering them fully -- or possibly some graphics setting causing the problem. For the alpha masks that you were given, you likely don't need any of them. Most mesh clothing that comes in Standard sizes (the ones used primarily for system/classic avatars) will come with an alpha that will hide the parts of your body that the mesh is going to cover. Look for items that show the Classic Avatar symbol: Those will be items designed to work with the system/classic body/head/feet/etc... Many of the mesh clothing sellers do still include the Standard sizes in their packages - they are typically just labeled S, M, L, XS, XL and will not only require using the included alpha, but they may require you to adjust your shape to prevent your body from poking through the clothing. One of your biggest issues with buying new items will be shoes. Very few creators still sell shoes for system/classic feet -- Lindy Shoes do and Ellnique Designs still has some in their Outlet. However, you can also buy mesh feet to wear with your system body. Slink sells mesh feet separate from their mesh body. Not sure who else might, but there are also some Slink-compatible mesh feet available on the Marketplace. The mesh feet do look much nicer than the old system feet. Another problem will be if you want to change skins. A dozen or less skin makers currently sell classic/system layer skin. Although an LL project in the works called Bakes On Mesh (not yet released) has encouraged some of the creators to start including system layers for things again -- skins, makeups, tattoos, clothing layers. Basically for anything you buy, you want to make sure you see that 'Classic Avatars' symbol - unless you do go ahead and get mesh feet and then you need to see the symbol for the type of feet you get. As far as mesh heads go, I personally think that is much less important. I've been back in SL now since early 2017 and while I do now have a mesh body, I'm still using my system/classic head. As to "how do you begin?" -- http://meshbodyaddicts.com/ will have a list of all of the common mesh bodies. Their reviews are a bit dated, but the list is still fairly accurate, I think. You will want to pick you demos of the various bodies and try them on to see if you can adjust the shape the way you want for yourself. You will also have to learn about "appliers" which are basically the mesh equivalent of system layers. The Mesh Body Addicts website does have some good tutorials for learning a lot of that. Once your understand appliers, then you'll want to pick up skins to test with your mesh body. If you stick with your system head, then you'll need a skin seller that provides both system layers for your head to use and mesh body appliers in whatever tone you select. Be sure to demo, demo, demo. It is a lot to learn - don't rush yourself.

Unless they have changed it, you get to both sell L$ and Process Credit 30 days after the first transaction that used your payment method, which could have been buying L$ or paying for a Premium membership. If you can sell them, but cannot Process Credit, then I'd check with LL (after verifying you don't already have an email from them wanting some info).

LL has hinted that they may offer an increased number of groups as part of the 'tiered premium packages' that supposedly is coming. In the last townhall or the one before that, they mentioned it and at the same time said that there were performance issues around increasing groups, though I forget all of the specifics. At the time, they mentioned possibly allowing people to have more groups, but maybe limited functionality of those groups - as in receiving group chat, group notices, etc... - as a possible way of dealing with some of the performance impacts.

FIFY

LL has a script they run on the back end that does something to fix the issue. I've never had that problem, but I imagine the script probably counts of items in folders and it it encounters more than some number, it creates sub-folders and moves items into them.

Not being a builder, and thus fairly clueless on these sorts of things --- Why are megaprims bad?

Well, if it is a king bed and they are using standard size pillows, it will take three to fill from side to side..... then again, who knows?

Ditto - and likely true for many of us from back then

There’s no cameras, oops forgot Amazon Cloud cam.. She should have said "Big Brother listening"

Yeah sure..... We all know that you're just trying to up your post count and rep score....

No, not EVERYONE 13 and over has a smartphone. I actually know some children younger than 13 that have smart phones. I also know a few children older than 13 that only have phones with calling & texting ability, and who they text is limited. All children are different, mature at different ages, respond to things in different ways, perceive the world differently, etc... What makes 13 the proper age for allowing a cellphone? Did you just decide that yourself or is there some overwhelming amount of studies out there that agree on that? The "zombies" thing is not total nonsense. Just walk down any busy city street and the number of people looking down at their phones, rather than paying much attention to the world and people around them, is amazing. What is even more telling is watching people out at restaurants -- couples, families, and just groups of friends. The sheer number of tables where nobody is talking and everyone is heads down staring at their own cellphone is astonishing.

I was an awkward gangly child, thus I figured out at a young age how superficial much of it was. The "popular" kids in my classes were the super cute ones or the ones with a great outgoing personality or the ones with money. I fit into none of those categories.

😃 😉 You were my first thought when I read Phil's post.

@BelindaN - I know you are a Blueberry addict. I'm shopping at Blueberry's 6-hr Flash Sale (50% off of almost everything from Noon-6:00 pm SLT). I'm invisible and I set "Show Friends Only". Vendors are still lagging a bit though - I might need until 6:00.

Definitely a big "might". They even state so in the Knowledgebase:

My first thought: Get that spider off of me !!!

I could definitely see it happening, though I expect it will be a slow adaption by consumers for quite a few years still -- and maybe not at all for older folks. For me, since I depend on bifocals, their prescription add-on does not help, so I will definitely not spend the dollars - even if the price came down quite a bit.

Since I can't remember what might cause that exact message: Even though your internet seems fine, I'd recommend a reboot to the modem and router. Since you have tried multiple regions, that would indicate it is not due to an actual region down problem Do you have an alt / second account? If so, try logging that account in and see what happens. If not, you might want to create one for testing. Another possibility, if the alt can log in and you cannot, is too flat of an inventory -- i.e. too many items at a single level rather than within nested sub-folders. I can't remember if this message is the result of the inventory issue or not. If that is a possibility with your inventory, you would need to submit a Support ticket and have LL check / correct the 'flat inventory' problem.

You will only get the 'declined' message if you are in the same region as the person you offered inventory to. Otherwise, you'll still never know for sure.

And definitely don't type it by just substituting ! for the i. Even though it will get past the filters, it can still get you into trouble. Don't ask me how I know that

to buy or to rent or just to explore? One that comes with a man, I think
