Ya know, I'd expect an IT Genius to know how to use the quote function on a forum. Just an observation.

When you say the house was locked, do you mean that the doors were just locked? Or did you have the actual security orb set? If you only have the doors locked, someone can get in by just sitting on something inside the house, TPing in, etc. To totally keep intruders out, you would need to use an orb. LL has provided one in the contents pack that you can get by clicking on your mailbox. ETA: Also, if you are the owner of the parcel, you should be able to just eject someone who overstays his welcome.

Perhaps they are holding onto the homes and are going to try for another spot with an alt, and see which they like better before they go to the trouble of decorating. In any event, it doesn't bother me if someone wants to leave their home empty. It's their perk to do with as they wish subject to the covenants, and there is no rule saying you must have furniture.

We might be! My alt owns my houseboat, so I am in stealth mode there. lol

* starts a thread about "Where are our ponies?" *

That houseboat is very close to mine. I love that they have a 24/7 party boat going on!

And I bet people will complain about that now, too.

I imagine they got a home that had just been abandoned by someone else. If you keep refreshing the page, that can happen.

Party at Marianne's place! *fires up the bus*

I have never heard of that, but maybe my moley friend was holding out on me. lol

With @Patch Linden as cabana boy?

As far as I know, most moles are not Lindens (but instead work as contractors), and from my experience talking with one in the past, I believe they do operate under the same building rules as everyone else when it comes to things like mesh, LI, etc. Sure, they can rez stuff where we can't, and edit things we cannot, but that's just a matter of land perms they are given. My assumption is that the box is 5 LI simply because of the various buttons attached to it. I would think that if the moles did have magical powers that allowed them to set any LI they wanted to anything they wanted, surely they would not have left the security panel at 5 LI.

The thing is that no matter how it's done, there will be complaining. Patch could hand deliver a new home personally on a silver platter to each and every premium member and to all of their alts as well, and someone would still post about how it's not fair that so-and-so got a corner parcel and they did not. Or about how the first 100 houseboats were nicer than the third 100.... and on and on!

🙄

That was my first thought: that OP is a bit of performance art.

It seems to be working now.

Could it be the return of Our Lady of Perpetual Silence?? 😮

Cheers!

All aboard the w(h)ine trolley!

*drinks*

Let the whining begin!

Is this a new drinking game? 🍷

"Are we there yet?????"

Haha! I just got the notice in my email! Thank you!

Rezzing a new copy of the home did not work for me, but clearing and resetting the list in the House Controller a few times did the trick. This all happened right after the controllers were updated, so hopefully it was just a limited issue that has since resolved. (And I'm happy to confirm that rezzing a new copy of the same model of home did not wipe out the previous settings.)
