He appears to have Moderated (RICed?) the thread himself.

Or did you find a better solution? The solution was to buy a radio system that we could place into the rezzers of our skybox system and control based on channels to the proper deeded parcel radio. In effect we have a couple of streams that a handful of renters share based on an up-to-date shoutcast list brought by demand of the renters. Renters still need to share one music streaming link, but at least they have reasonable options now in how to do so in a simple system setup. Nice solution. Of course I was hoping you'd found something even better.

It's a single dance, found in the female dance hud balls at a few of the clubs I have been in recently. I have asked random DJs and such but have yet to find anyone to point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help you might have! Sometimes you can locate the object that contains the animations you are interested in. For instance a solo dance ball floating above a dance floor. Right click it, select "Edit" Go to the 'Contents' tab. Wait for the contents to load. Find the animation you want in the list. Right click it, select "Properties" Open the creators profile. Look for a link to their store. Probably in their Picks. Remotes & Huds at clubs generally won't contain the animations so you need to find the object they work off of. Also - the name of a dance in a menu may be different from the name in contents.

It would be really great if someone of them could actually answer to the threads that are being posted in the feedback-forum. To the best of my knowledge the moderators are LL employees. It's possible they are both moderators and Lindens. In fact some Lindens are moderators. You can see this for yourself by doing an advanced forum search for 'moderator' after selecting 'Rank' in the 'Find Results in' box. Clearly the moderators look at the feedback section. They regularly moved threads to and from it. Now to your point on answering. There are some recent threads that asked simple questions. Questions you might think a moderator could easily answer. Yet they remain unanswered by a LL employee. It is a puzzle why. Still some threads do receive a reply from the LL.

Amethyst Jetaime wrote: If a number of rentals share one parcel there is no way each can have their own choice of radio station. If tenant A is listening to rock and tenant D changes his radio to a country station, both A and D will hear country. It is just the way radios work in SL. If this is not a problem (which I can't see how it wouldn't be) then there is a radio system that has remotes and can tune in any shoutcast station. You don't need to know the URL. It searches shoutcast for radio stations currently broadcasting in the genre you choose, You can even specify what genre choices are available. As long as each unit is n the same parcel as the base, and it doesn't matter that everyone must listen to the same station, this radio would work. I'll PM you with the name of it. Alternatively you may want to look into a shared media system, aka media on a prim that allows you to search the web and play YouTube music and some radio stations. These systems will play anywhere and you don't need to own land to play them. The only drawback is if your units are close together than everyone hears it within hearing distance. The "radios" I know about use the land audio URL to provide access to steaming audio. The OP is looking for a "radio" that works differently - to provide multiple "radio station" choices on a single parcel. The MOAP feature seemed to be designed to solve this problem. I'm not aware of a product that does this. Some certainly could exist but there are obstacles. It's very simple to create a MOAP object. However MOAP attempting to play shoutcast "radio stations" gets this error: Which seems to eliminates a large source of potential content. Some other internet radio "stations" will play but it's a mishmash of different interfaces and controls. The MOAP distances for "hearing" can be adjusted to individual preferences but that's a hassle.

As old hands here will know I've been away from SL for a couple of years and although I thought I'd kept up with LSL changes I must have missed that one. Anything else I ought to know about? My recollection is that the LL decided to honor the viewer preferences option to not show online status. There was an early plan to extend that to LSL functions. Push back about broken content plus the other means available to obtain the online status left the LSL functions as they were. Not long ago I made a on-line status object to confirm it still worked. So I'm better than 50% confident in my recollection. edit: I just tested and it's working so I'm better than 90% confident.

Many months ago there was a user group for Community Tools. You can find traces of it by searching for "Community Tools User Group" here in the forums. At the user group meetings the issue of threads being deleted without notice was discussed. At that time we were told that it wasn't possible to notify everyone who had a post deleted due to time constraints. However anyone whose thread was deleted was to be told why. From comments at the meetings it seemed that while that might have been a policy it wasn't consistently followed. Later on the forums were declared perfected, the meetings ended and the user group vanished.

In Singularity you use "computer" rather than "inventory" in the Pick Texture dialog. Same thing, different names.

It would have been very easy to change the word "per" to something that's actually true. At the very least, the way they've done it can be misleading. It's possible for a reader to think it might be for more than one quarter. They are clearly told that the 50% off is a limited time discount. So after seeing the bubble they would have to wonder what number of quarters is covered by this limited time. They would have to read futher to determine the number of quarters. They would find out quickly that the number is one. Anyone thinking it will be 12 quarters or 3 quarters or whatever is guessing wrong. There is no suggestion in the 'ad" that there is any specific duration until you read the actual duration. While some people may insist that the term 'per' always means more than one that isn't in the definitions I've seen. In examples given you will see things such as "The cloth was x dollars per yard." In which case the cost of a single yard of cloth is x. There is no requirement to buy multiple yards of cloth by the way. Even though it is priced per yard. That doesn't imply that only multiple yard purchases are available. If I pay $11.25 for one quarter and then downgrade to basic what rate did am I pay per quarter? It turns out that the discounted quarterly rate is a good deal for almost anyone who wants to begin a premium membership. Of course the secret to the best deal is knowing when your going to leave. Here's a little spread sheet showing the running cost of premium membeships month by month. For the first 18 months going quarterly starting with the discount is often the best deal. I don't go into all permutations but then who knows when they're going to leave in advance. I generally interpret "limited time offer" to mean that the offer will be available for a limited time, not that the offer's advantage persists for a limited time. On the same page as that offer, I find the following grammar errors... "Linden Homes are ready-to-move-in homes that belong to a themed community and available only to Premium Members." " Join friends in an fun jungle..." I'd say that LL's wording of the offer is consistent with other evidence of their competence. I hope we're not splitting hairs cuz mine is tiny and short. It's true that two things are for a limited time. The duration of the offer and the duration of the discount. I'm thinking 'Limited Time Discount' refers to the duration of the discount. But perhaps I'm being too generous to the LL. Because it's a 'Discount offer' there could be confusion regarding what the as yet unstated duration is and what it applies to. All is revealed in the 'TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR 50% DISCOUNT' which is immediately below the listing of periodic rates. So while it may be slightly confusing to some and slightly misleading to others I'm still in the group that feels it's definitely not very misleading. I'm sure that the phrase 'very misleading' varies in meaning for people so I'll give an example of what I call moderately misleading. My cable company runs ads that offer high speed internet for $10 per month. Then they flash the T&C on the screen for maybe 1 second that is unreadable even if you pause your DVR and move up close. So I know there are details that I don't have yet. I also know I won't be getting high speed internet forever for $10 per month. It's moderately misleading because the ad itself didn't tell me the duration was limited.. except in the unreadable T&C. I have to chase down the details on some website or call the sales staff and get the hard sell. After being in the thread awhile I now know that what I consider slightly misleading is what some other people call very misleading. It's just a personal threshold thing. So while to me it's very misleading to call the LL offer very misleading I understand that that also is just a personal threshold thing.

If you fail to see the "USD 11.25 per quarter" stated in the ad, I cannot help you, it is plain as can be, smack dab in the center. Perhaps it is a language issue? Per defined: click HERE per [pur; unstressed per] preposition 1.for each; for every: Membership costs ten dollars per year. This cloth is two dollars per yard. Therefore for this example, the price would be "for every" quarter. Qwalyphi Korpov wrote: Zebadiah Zerundi wrote: I respectfully disagree Qwalyphi, I do not believe I was misleading in any way. .

Only in the "fine print," with the "† " does it state that the discount only applies to the FIRST QUARTER. I honestly don't see where I was misleading or misrepresenting what LL had advertised. Sorry. However, you make a good and valid point about taking the initial Quarterly premium payment at the discount of USD 11.25 for only one quarter and THEN going to annual makes financial sense as being the best option indeed. I'd not considered that. But I am not certain you can convert from quarterly to annually that easily, can you? Peace I could perhaps be convinced that the ad is slightly misleading if I could see the actual ad. You don't present it or link to it. I have seen the offer in several forms. None of them have the 11.25 per quarter wording you show. The only place I've found that is on the Dashboard/Account/Premium Membership page. There the per period charges are listed for per month, quarter & year. So in context it's consistent to list one charge per category. A bubble immediately to the right explains that the discounted rate is for a limited time. The "fine print" is immediately below rather than buried at the bottom of the page. So once again I'm thinking you're being misleading if you're calling the premium membership signup page an ad. You are welcome to your opinion, as I am to mine. I am not concerned that you are not convinced, that is not my objective. And, at this point it seems to me you are being argumentative solely for the sake of arguing (or to raise your posting stats) and so I will no longer respond. :manfrustrated: Peace be with you I see now what the problem was. I thought you had an ad you were complaining about.

On the other hand your post is very misleading. Because in your large print you say it's very misleading. Then in your fine print you explain that it would be misleading if it said it was a full year discount in large print & then said it was a single quarter discount in the fine print. Which it doesn't. The LL could have been clearer by proclaiming "50% of of 1st quarterly payment, full price following that." However they clearly didn't say 50% off forever. So you have to read beyond the lead to understand what is being offered. Now regarding the better deal - One quarter at $11.25 (half price) followed by annual payments of $72 is a better deal than simply signing up for annual payments. So your statement that annual payments is a better deal from a value point of view is wrong. Or - should I say Very Misleading?

Does that count as unsolicited advice, a faux pas, or a means of getting them to cut to the chase? I suspect I have a blind spot when it comes to the unsolicited advice area. Although I'm getting better at spotting the faux pas. For example: A man walks into a bar and announces "I'm an alcoholic." The bartender says "In that case you really shouldn't be here. What'll you have?" The man doesn't respond. I'm pretty sure there's a faux pas in there somewhere.

Alrighty but then I has to put you in the "fails to understand the example situation" slot. Of course it's probably my fault. I'll copy & paste here & try to fix things. Like in-world someone says "I can't use voice." So you ask "What viewer do you use?" Then you get no answer. You wonder why. It's a simple question. .... Hmmm... I guess it's just a difference of opinion or sumptin. Cuz when I see someone saying "I can't use voice" it sounds to me like they're soliciting advice. While it sounds to you like they're just making an announcement and if anyone responds they deserve to be ignored. I'll add your reason to the list. Thank you for your contribution. My mother told me not to talk to strangers. The organization I work for told me not to respond to questions. If someone tries to help you with your announced problems or issues it's a faux pas & you should ignore them

I do appreciate the viewer question drama aspect you point out. It certainly is another reason someone may not answer a simple question. However - the various voice related preferences and sliders vary from viewer to viewer. Singularity has the voice preferences in a tab called 'Voice Chat.' In Firestorm and the LL viewers the voice preferences are in the Sound & Media tab. However Firestorm then gets to the voice settings with a 'Voice Setting' tab inside the Sound and Media tab. There are further differences I won't get into. So while an answer may lead to drama it can also lead to a solution.

So when a person in-world can't use voice and won't answer a simple question like what viewer then they might be under age. Perhaps they could be on the internet though. As long as someone was 'watching' and making sure they didn't answer any questions. If a person still needs to follow the order not to talk to strangers, I highly doubt they have reached the age to be in SL legally. Also children that are this young shouldn't browse the internet on their own. I have not said that someone who doesn't answer questions or uses voice is underage. I just responed to your idea, that their mother might told them not to answer strangers. Yes, I understand. I, also, did not say that someone who doesn't answer questions is underage. Ah, now I see the disconnect. I was trying to use the example of a user who has problems getting voice to work. So I was aiming for "I can't use voice & don't know how to fix it" rather than the "I can't use voice because my mother won't let me." I should have used a clearer example.
