    @Katherine Heartsong and @Love Zhaoying How many naked red heads can @Scylla Rhiadra get in one photo without the universe imploding?

    Back. I got sidetracked cooking breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day. I did focus on the insulting volunteers part, so, to be fair I will point out some good things in the post. I would love to see some retention numbers, too, but how to tell who is just making a new alt and who is actually new? I am not sure how well the welcome hub is working. Maybe just forming a New user Buddy group would help. Only those under 6 months and helpers/Moles/Lindens have access and you are ejected from the group at a certain age. That way new users can get support at any time no matter where they are without having to remember how to get back to the hub. They'll get a quick lesson in joining groups and figure out how to open the message window to ask questions. I agree with Zalificent about having a pass a buy tokens board before you even exit the hub, It seems to say, "You have to commit right now and buy game tokens before you've even decided if you like it." It smacks of corporate greed and probably does send people right back out the door thinking they have to pay to play. If both resident and Linden ideas never work for retention because, as you hypothesize, no one ever asked a noobie what they actually need, how do we get the info? Send pop-up windows and emails to new users at 1 week old, 1 month old, and 6 months old with a survey? How did we do introducing you to SL? What could we have done better? Please rate your initial experience with 1 to 5 stars. Or maybe send email surveys to those who logged in and never returned after a week. We miss you. How can we get you back into SL? What made you never come back? Was it too difficult? Computer couldn't handle it? Bad experience with another user? I looked like crap and didn't want to spend money to look acceptable? I couldn't find any people? Other?

    @Alwin Alcott and @Midnoot if, according to you two, only losers, the elderly, and wannabes are "helpers" and do nothing of value to help retain users, what do you think would help? I've been to the new user area 3 whole times and it seemed to be busy. People were chatting in local and a few mentors went to IM with a few noobies to help them with various issues (mostly how to look better) I have never seen the new community area, but highlighting a few seems like a good idea. Certainly better than doing nothing Do you have some new exciting idea that will increase user retention that you are not sharing with the rest of us, or are you just here to say how lame the area is and to insult people volunteering some time?

    After shaking a bunch of rain water from her coat all over the bed. Then she'll want to be under the wet covers with you... unless she insists on sleeping in the middle of the bed and kicks you out.

    I have several alts who take on different parts of my personality or moods. I choose which account logs in based on how I feel each day. Each has their on styles, but all are me. Within each account are also different moods. For example, Polly may be the one I log in to go to science discussions, but she can present as human or inhuman as the mood strikes. I see no issue with all these different avatars and moods. When I don't have a preference, I choose an avatar at random and take on the personality of that one when I log in.

    Are we attacking other people's peeves now and telling them how they should react and feel? Fun!

    I'm not naked. I just haven't rezzed for you It's not a plywood box. It's PBR! Region crossing. Slow down. Warning. Banlines ahead. Evasive maneuvers needed. Caution. Whiplash from rubberbanding. For a better shopping experience, please remove all clothing. Danger: crashing on teleport. Please walk into the next region.

    I also do this. I get very focused on the things I do and interruptions can be irritating. Even if I love my friends, that "ding" is thoroughly distracting and can even be jarring. That is just my personality. I try to remember to use away messages so my friends know I am busy with a project or off taking pics or decorating a house or whatever. Requiring time alone is important for many people, so when that happens, I try to use an alt. (my main account has the best inventory though 😄) The not-so-nice way to say it is: I am not in SL to entertain others and will socialize on my own terms. Luckily, I have emotionally mature, understanding friends that recognize this important part of my identity.

    I don't do as much post-production Cool capture! Yes, my AO walk is "woman on a mission."

    I'm stuck at home... again... with Covid... again... @Bagnu joined me in NYC for a visit to an art gallery and exploring through a haunted hotel. This is one of the few times that I thought I actually understood the art. I did use the titles and words to help. Hanging out Also, I highly recommend hitting "swap" in the animation menus if you are with someone with a good sense of humor.

    My first visit to the Helios casino. Staff was attentive and I was served quickly. Followed by a trip through the Destination Guide to Manhattan in New York City. I was having issues with texture thrashing, but I think it was the crowded region. I hid the blurry textures with viewer photo filters. Whoever put it together did a great job of making it feel really big.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. Just use scissors to remove them if you have to because they will NOT be pulled out.

    What brand of head do you have? A screenshot of what you are wearing would help, too.

    Do not overlap the probes! We have no idea what impact it will have on time, space and/or lighting.

    I read both rl and sl tabs of the profile, I check account age, read picks, and look at groups. I gather as much info as I can before reaching out to someone in IM. It gives me something to start a conversation with. Guess who I don't reach out to at all. Empty profiles. Maybe that's what a person wants? No one talking to them? They don't want "that type" or "those people" to IM about anything. You can turn off IMs from anyone not a friend in preferences in Firestorm, I believe. At least I think I saw that option. You certainly can turn off seeing anyone but friends.

    I wanted to respond to this, but it would be completely off topic. Also, I hope I'm reading it wrong. The bolded parts are what I wanted to address, then thought better of it. I just decided maybe you didn't mean it the way it came off and I am giving you the benefit of the doubt.

    I was prepared to dry read the owners manual for some replacement equipment we received at work. They forgot to send the instructions in English, but nearly every other language was included. Everyone feels like hugging a bear now, right?

    Some cute clothes, but I would not describe any of it as modest.

    Happy Fat Tuesday! I forgot what day it was. Dang it. /me pulls out an old fashioned paper calendar...

    I don't think it's that farfetched to have several different people read a post and come to the same conclusion without them getting together in council chambers to first discuss how they should all react first. It's okay for more than one person to disagree with the need to hide account age, just like it's okay for more than 1 person to like chocolate cake. If you want the feature, ask for it in a feature request instead of starting a discussion thread and then being angry that not everyone agrees with the need for it. It's a discussion forum for SL topics not an echo chamber for a person's ideas that can't be questioned.

    I'm at work and can't log in, but when I get home I'll log my male alt in and take screen shots of the relevant tabs. I'll try to remember: On the left side of the HUD, there is an HD tab. Click that for eye brows, eyeliner, lip color. At the top of each of these is a square box. Right under that is the word "clear" Clicking it will clear any applier layers you put on. Clear both layer 1 and layer 2 for each HD section. If I remembered this wrong, hopefully someone will correct it.
  22. Cinnamon Mistwood
    Maybe it is a demo applier that you tried. I don't know which head you are using, but in the head HUD you should be able to manually clear any demos you tried on. They wouldn't show up in the "worn" tab.

    I have never been attacked for my posts in the forum either inworld or a forum message. What do you all get attacked for? Stirring the pot? Coming up with controversial subjects whether you believe in them or not? Attacking others then crying victim? On topic, no, I don't think you should be able to hide account age. I can't think of a reason it matters. If people don't find a way to discriminate due to age, they'll simply find something else to tease you with. People are people and those that need to feel superior, will make something else up.

    Here's mine. Also, I am impressed that you @Bagnucan capture a moment almost instantly while I am cycling through poses that only last a fraction of a second 😄The other pic you took that you didn't post was also hilarious. I seemed to be in the middle of explaining to you how life is going to work. Anyway, I like the lighting in this one. Timing this pic with the part of the animation I wanted to capture and the mist clearing just enough not to glitch with your hair took quite a bit of time.
