Syo is right. Chat logs are saved to your computer. If you have access to the old computer, you can find the chat logs here: C:\Users\[Win_login_ID]\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\[avatar_name]\chat.txt

Some screen captures might help us understand the problem. I have not seen a problem like I think you are describing. I've never had a viewer make an empty Outfit folder. The general troubleshooting steps are to TP to a different region, relog and try saving the outfit again. If that fails, restart the computer and repeat the process, new region, retry. If that doesn't work describe what you did step by step, each click and key press. Try a different viewer brand. The Linden default SL viewer is our primary troubleshooting viewer. So, having it installed is almost mandatory. Have a second viewer. About 3/4 of users run the Firestorm viewer. They have an excellent support group so you can get in-world help from the Firestorm Support group 24x7. If both viewers have the same problem, you have eliminated installation as the problem. If not, the problem viewer needs to be reinstalled. First install over the top of the existing install. If the problem remains, do a clean install of the viewer. Instructions can be found via Google. Beyond these steps, we'll need more information...

She is right. Your first 30 days you are limited. I was with a noob (4 days old) and a number places I TP'd him to bounced him out. As a protection against griefing. numerous land owners require you have a 30-day or older avatar to enter. I have found a number of BDSM places have that restriction. On the other side there are merchants that give <30-day old avatars some expensive merchandise for free. I used GuRL6 hair for years because they game my first nice do for free. Others limit access to those that are >30-days old and have payment info on file. You can thank griefers for that restriction also. In general, people want to know you are interested in SL and fun, not an anti- social mentally unbalanced person here to cause problems as your path to personal fulfilment. So, spend US$10 in SL or get a job in SL and earn some L$. That will give your avatar some status. Another challenge for noobs is knowing how to do things in SL. Those wanting to deal with a SL-tech-virgin in a BDSM or any sexual situation are few. So, get into a Role Play game and be sure you understand what is considered good role play form. Lots of people are eager and enthusiastic. Few are polished enough to give their partner a good time. The more it looks like you know what you are doing the easier it is to find people willing to play with you.

Yes. I run Win 10 and several different viewers. How well it runs depends on a ton of factors.

Give us all the details on the computer and system. Open the viewer and click HELP->ABOUT... Copy and paste that information into your post. Do that with any tech question for a faster more accurate answer. In general to improve performance set the Draw Distance to 128m. Depending on the region you are in the SL environment may be overloading the render process. This is the number one cause of poor performance on high-end gaming rigs in SL. Set the Avatar Complexity Information to 350k or lower. This setting will render 90+% of all SL avatars and engage the video crasher protection. Set your Max Bandwidth to 80% of your download speed or 1500, whichever is less. The tells the server how much 'update' data to throw at you. This controls ONLY the UDP protocol, which has no error correction. Lost packers are lost damaging performance. Set avatar impostors at 12 or 14. This seting stops the viewer from fully rendering avatars further away from your avatar. It reduces the render load with little if any visible change in your scene. If you are on a laptop, make sure your system is using the video chip (GTX 1060). The chip pulls power and a laptop in power saving mode will turn off the chip and render everything by CPU. What is the speed of the CPU? SL Viewer performance is very sensitive to processor speed. Core speed is more important than the number of cores. CPU and memory speed can kill viewer performance. My i5 @ 4GHz with a ROG GTX 1060 hits 100+ FPS and usually runs 20 to 80 FPS in crowds. Be sure you have a NVIDIA game profile for the viewer. See: http://blog.nalates.net/2016/06/05/nvidia-settings-2016/

I does work. I use it. Win 10 64 bit and FS 4.7.9 64 bit. You might disable RLVa and restart the viewer. Then enable RLVa and restart the viewer. Whenever you enable or disable RLVa the viewer has to be restarted for the change to take affect. Remove and replace your RLV link/HUD/Relay. Sort of a restart for the relay. The in-world Firestorm Support group is wonderful. Paste this into your viewer's address field: secondlife:///app/group/3a1be8d4-01f3-bc1a-2703-442f0cc8f2dd/about

Have you looked in TRASH? If she did not 'empty' the trash, your stuff is there. Alwin is right. Zero invenotry is way unlikely unless something is wrong. The Library certainly cannot be deleted. If your X was a SL-partner with rights to your stuff, be sure to clear those settings.

An easy way to pick a new place is go to the Destination Guide in the SL web site and pick a place. Clicking through the Guide will start the viewer and send you to a new place. Remember to reset your home location or change to using last login location.

Rhaonda is right. If you bought it in the marketplace, look on that page to see if they have a link to a manual or a PDF to download. Most things have a note card with instructions.

No issue AFAIK. My sound works with latest versions. Anti-virus will sometimes kill the slplugin.exe file. You may try white listing that file in your AV and then reinstalling the viewer over the top of the existing install.

If everyone where having massive lag the forum would be inundated with posts like yours. It isn't. Nor am I seeng massive lag. To start to figure out why you may be having lag we need to know more. When posting a tech question, which yours is, include information about your system and viewer and connection. Use the viewer's HELP->ABOUT... to collect the system info. Tells us if you are desktop or laptop, wired or wireless, and where in the world you are. Having a good Internet connection does NOT mean you have a good connection to the SL servers. There could be a router in your path that is having problems. So, test it: http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/ There is a Win 10 problem. Since you didn't post what OS you are running... explaining what to do for that Win 10 problem might be pointless... You can search this forum for the problem. It has been answered sveral times with varying level of competency. As it affects many Wins 10 users, not just SL users, Google will lead you to answers too.

Alwin is breif but right. In general, take the AO off, detach it. From inventory find the AO and drag it to the ground or a floor. AO's are often visible from only one side. The other 5 sides a clear. Pay attention to where you rez it. It is best to have the camera looking down on the floor, not across the floor. Even then you may have to cam around the spot you rez the AO on to find it. Also you can press Ctrl-Alt-T to turn transparent items red. Once you find the AO edit it. Right-click it and select EDIT. In the General, Object, Features, Texture, Content tabs select Content. Look through the contents to find the walk you like. Many of the animations you find in AO's are Copy-OK. So, prepare a folder in your inventory's Animaton section and then drag the animation into that folder. (It can be a folder anywhere in inventory) If it is Copy-OK, there will be a copy left in the AO and a new copy in the folder. If No-Copy there will be one copy of the animation in inventory. Take the AO back into inventory. Rez the other AO and open Contents. Drag the Walk you like into the AO. Now the complex part. AO's are made to automatically find all the animations and class them based on name, i.e., as a walk if the word 'walk' is in the name. Some requiure the name to start with 'walk'. Others require you put the name in a list in a notecard in the AO. If there is a notecard in the AO, there will likely be a walk section in the list. Animations will be dividied by various delimiters. You'll have to figure out how they designed the notecard. It is usually obvious. Some No-Mod AO's look no mode because they have No-Mod scripts. You can still add and remove animations and change the notcard. Some No-Mod AO's are really No-Mod. In that case you may or may not be able to pull animations out of them. But, you won't be able to add animations. There are a number of 'depends' but play with it and you may be able to get the animations yuo want all in o ne AO.

When you can add your computer specs. Use the viewer's HELP->ABOUT... to collect the info and paste it into your post. What you have posted suggests you should not be having crashes. The only things I can imagine is if a driver is out of date or you are limited on system memory. I find that Firestorm can suck up 15 GB of memory and then crash. I have 32GB. Doesn't happen often. I think in a month FS has only crashed twice. If your system only has 8GB, as my old Win 7 system does, you'll crash much sooner, like hourly or couple of hours at most. If you are in a crowd, it can happen sooner and more often. Without out detailed information it is hard to say what the actual cause may be. You can get the free tool Memory History Tool to watch your system's use of memory. You'll see it go red as you run out of free memory for the viewer to eat.

You didn't give us enough information to know what you can do to correct the problem. Use the viewer's HELP->ABOUT.... to collect your tech info and include it with your questions. If you are using a desktop, you can easily add a third party video card. NVIDIA 760 and 780 cards are very good and also really cheap, especially on eBay. If you aren't a computer-DIY type most computer stores will sell you and install a video card. If you are are a DIY type, I am writing a series on the best current hardware and what factors affect SL performance. See HARDWARE

Try logging into a different region. There were no roll outs to the main channel on Tuesday. So, it is likely a region problem or a connection problem due to a temporary problem.

AFAIK, there is no alert system to notify you your account was accessed from a different computer. If you are afraid someone can access your account, change the password. You can change the password as often as you want. Check the email address associated with the account. It should be a secure email account You should be the only one with the password. It is the login ID/password and your email that keeps you in control of the account.

Avatar height is problematic. The viewer makes a calculation that runs from the left foot up through the leg to the head. The sit uses a value figured for the pelvis. Animations are made for an avatar of a specific height. Some sell animations for Small, Medium, and Large avatars, three sizes. As we don't have standards for those sizes so, most animations are a weak match for our specific avatar. Said another way... animations do NOT scale to the avatar. For quick fixes use the recomended Hover Hight in the avatar's right-click menu. For adjustments that extend across everything your avatar does use the hover Height in the shape, but it must be a Mod-OK shape. Besure the system "Shoe" you are wearing is correct. You can make a custom classic shoe to wear and control the heel height to adjust your avatar height. Before the right-click Hover Height this is how we tweaked avatar height to get out feet on the ground. It also affects your sit height but, it is hard to get foot-on-the-ground and butt-on-the-seat to match using this tweak. Because of how attachements work and affect height, this is a really hard thing to get right. The Lindens revamped the system for mesh bodies, feet, and head giving us the right-click-Hover. With Bento this has been looked at and tweaked a bit. But, the Lindens admit it is never going to be perfect. Too many legacy dependancies to amke a change now. May be better in Sansar.

Alwin is right. We tend not to recommend things here... Search the forum, marketplace, and Destinations. The wiki has information on the railroads in SL. You may find what you need along one of the rail lines. You can definitely find the names of the owners of those stations. They may know who b uilds train stations. Also, contact Jo Yardley, the builder of historically correct 1920's Berlin. She will probably know of some people building models of various real life things/places.

When you get stuck in something, try sitting on something, even the thing you are stuck in. Right-click a thing and choose SIT. When you are outside something, cam inside the building, whatever, and try sitting on something there. Also, your Preferences has a setting I use to get out of things. Preferences->Move & View (tab) there is a setting Double click on land: Set that to Teleport to clicked point. You can double click anywhere and and the viewer TP's you there. This doesn't always work as you expect. The region owner can set various behaviors for in region TP. So, your results depend on their setting. To be able to do any of these things you have to know how to control your camera. As this is your first post I can only guess at how much you do or don't know. The basic process of moving the camera is a process of holding down the ALT-key and left-clicking on things or left-click and drag. You can often slide the mouse toward you to zoom out and drag left or right to swing the camera through a wall and see inside or outside something. Then left-click again to change the camera's focal point to the new click location. You can find things to sit on, which will move your avatar. Youtube tutorials

Madelaine is right. But, the problem is in your browser. Either the connection was slow and various parts of the page did not arrive in time to be rendered correctly or failed to arrive at all. Or parts of the page are written in such a way the browser could not figure out how to render them. You can try reloading the page. But, I suggest you get another browser to use with that web site. Firefox is very forgiving of poorly written and slow pages. Internet Explorer is forgiving in other ways and may render pages that Firefox and Chrome won't. But, in turn FF and Chrome do a better job on many pages that cause IE problems. I have problems using the Chrome browser with some SL web site pages. It is almost impossible to use the SL JIRA with Chrome. I won't use Microsoft's Edge. But, Win 10 does force it on me now and then. It does seem to do a decent job of rendering pages. Make sure your video driver is up to date. Force Windows Update to run to be sure you have all the Windows updates. Then use the Device Manager to manually trigger a video update. If that proces says the driver is up to date, that isn't necessaily true. So, if the web page is still not rendering, Google how to update your video driver. GPU-Z (free) will tell you which video system your computer uses. Google how to update those drivers.

There are different ways of thinking about an avatar name. I'll try to frame this so it uses the Linden terms for the various names and relates to what you find the Lindens talking about. There is an ACCOUNT name used for login and the Avatar. In this sense they are the same thing. Login ID and Avatar Name match. This name cannot be changed. To get another name one must open another account. Things that are are No-Transfer cannot be moved from one acouunt to another. There are Display Names. They can be changed once a week. In your Preferences you can set which name displays. The setting only affects what you see. I can set my viewer to show account names (avatar names) or Display Names. That will show your Account or Display name on my screen. Display names are used by some roleplaying communities. They are also used for fun, some times to provide a name translation to antoher language, and other reasons.

Innula and Rolig gave you the answers to the door problem. To get your pet working correctly you need to understand what works with pathfinding and how mesh homes are made. Those making pets may understand Pathfinding. But, they may not understand how mesh houses are made and the tricks home makers use to get physics working for their designs. You will need to use the Linden SL Viewer to see the Pathfinding Navmesh as the Linden server sees it. There are versions of third party viewers that can do this too. But, I trust the Linden viewer to do it right. Study the Navmesh and see what you need to make walkable. You may find that making a mesh house walkable destroys the logic of the Navmesh. You may need to add some prims for the pet to walk on and act as walls to force them to walk around rather than through walls. You can make them transparent. There is discussion in the forum about how to make houses and doors work with Pathfinding. I have no idea how many house makers make their products Pathfinding friendly.

There is, was, and isn't a viewer for Oculus. CtrlAltStudio made a viewer and it is still available but, way out of date. It may be used by other third party brand viewers to build a VR capable viewer for SL. It has the latest Oculus support... at least the version 1 retail for Oculus. You can sort of see SL in VR using it. But, there is a lot of things you cannot do. The Lab made one but, it had serious peformance issues and was removed from public access. So, there is no 'official' version of the viewer. Nor even an up to date third party viewer with Oculus support. Bummer. You can Google 'VR for any game' and you'll find software that renders many games for VR headsets, Oculus, Vive, and others. Steam has support too. There are services that render games without VR support for VR headsets. There is a cost for most of these. Also see: The biggest problem is SL is a user made world. Read that to mean most people placing content in SL are not professional modelers and have little or no idea what it means to optimize content. The result is your system has to do a lot of work to render scenes in SL. The possibility of rendering SL content at a consistent <=90 FPS is very small. That means simulator sickness is a high probability. Thus the lack of official support and interest. All the problems with rendering SL content is the reason the Lab decided to forego VR for SL and build Sansar, planned for general release early 2017. Early as possibly January.

Check your settings in Preferences->Chat. There is a setting for Group Chat. It may be your groups are quite. If you know they are chatting, then it may be the setting in preferences. When you ask a tech question you need to provide us information on your viewer and computer. There are about a dozen brands of viewers. Some have different ways of handling group chat notices. We'll assume you are using the Linden made viewer because this is your first post in the forum. The easy way to get the infomration is to open the viewer and before or after login click HELP->ABOUT... and copy paste that information with your question.

Track down the problem... Use this info to test your connection to the SL servers: http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/ If you have a problem connecting, it is important to know where you are located, city and state is close enough. A large number of people in a localized area can have the same problem when a backbone provider has a problem. Knowing where those people are that have problems defines where the problem may be. If people all over the world are having a problem, it makes it a really good bet it is on the SL end. If it is just those in the notheast of the USA, it suggests an ISP problem likely outside SL. It takes LL sometime to decide if they have a problem or their ISP has a problem and then to post something about it if it is on their side. In general the people that would post an alert are the same people that fix the problem. In my experience they don't take the time to post an alert until they know they are some time away from having it fixed. If they think they are minutes from having it fixed, they keep working.
