The biggest problem with separate feet is the consumption of Attachment Points. Many people complain about hitting the limit.

While posting specific enforcement actions is not a good thing, you might want to consider posting some general stats on enforcement. This month 666 bans and 7 perma-bans and 42 Bad AV reprimands... It might shift people's thinking and would be a counter to "the Lindens never do anything..." claims.

Oh... I would so NOT be sitting there... and looking up 😬

@mercurial1 When you want to change someone's thinking you start by listening and asking questions. What person do you have as a friend that you have always known since your birth? Weren't most of your friends strangers at one time? What do you mean by "talking to people"? If you don't talk to strangers, how do you change the world or make new friends?

At The Grove...

Now that is a SNOWMAN...

Gestures can be triggered by text in local. You can press Ctrl-G to see which gestures are active. You can deactivate a problem gesture from the Gestures Panel and sort by available or active. When you have a tech problem ALWAYS say which viewer you are using. If you don't know and you installed the viewer, it is the default Linden supplied viewer or aka SL Viewer. You can click HELP in the top menu and look in About... to get the name and version of the viewer. If the tech problem is complicated just copy and paste the entire contents of the ABOUT into your post. Often you can change your Outfit and solve the problem when something you are wearing is causing a problem. Restarting the viewer will solve a load of common problems. Let us know what worked.

So... you are the same age as OLD people? Is that weird or what?

You need to see if the problem persists while you are wearing the noobie avatar. When you build your avatar back, do it one item at a time. Test after adding each item. I expect you will f ind one of the things you wear is the problem.

I have Kuso animations that I like. Kuso makes them in 3-sizes, which is a big help.

When things are difficult to verify the Lindens will ask you to name your friends, like 10 or so of them. So this time record your password, ID, and some friends names in a safe place.

Wow... awesome elegance...

Nice to see you posting. You have been quite lately... or am I just missing your posts? I suspect you are right about video file size being the reason for non-support of video files. We do have an image file size restriction. So it figures. I suspect the Lindens don't pay much attention to supported file formats in the SL Forum. They likely let the author of the forum software deal with those issues. So, one could dig through Invision's documentation to see what all they support. I'll go with trial and error.

I have seen several clubs move to new regions and keep their clientele. They send out notices to their group and retain the parcel for 4 or more weeks to hold a We Moved sign and LM. There is really very little about a location in SL that is special. All locations are a click away. So staying to prevent him from getting the land is just being spiteful and silly. It is a nose cutting thing... I have a friend that has from time to time gotten irritated by a neighbor. She puts up huge signs only readable from the neighbor's parcel. The level of rudeness depends on her level of irritation. You might consider doing the same and saying something like, "Let my idiot neighbor know how much you enjoyed his bots. We have people over here." And I have seen signs put up for the World Map that point to BOTS --> So there are things you can do to make it uncomfortable for the pesky neighbor. But you do have to remember not to violate TOS or irritate your landlord.

I am petty sure it is the woman in the center of the image... 😆 lovely.

Not that I know about. You can export the old shape files with Firestorm as pointed out above. If you are a scriptwriter/programmer you can write a program to parse the data to extract what you want. If you just want the sliders, you could open the shapes and screen capture the settings. Or just write down the values, as many people do for sharing shapes.

😄 It has gotten pretty hot but not lava. I do love the splash of color. Some facial expressions just beg for a caption... PS: Has something changed in how we can paste images here? I seem to have to upload and then insert the image. I used to just copy-paste the image file.

If you want that capability, file a JIRA feature request. I suspect there is a hidden treasure trove of information in virtual libraries. But I am not sure how useful that information would be. Most of our gaming tech and how to info we put in the Wiki. The rest we talk about here in the forum.

You are apparently accepting woke agenda perpetrated by a political agenda. The political arena has plenty of haters and strives to divide people by any means into small voting blocks with little if any power thus giving their power to to the manipulators. In SL many accept the ideology but we do not have to. In SL you are free to experiment with gender, ethnicity, personality and dress. When you ask, "Are both not okay or is this flickr post different?" you seem to be looking outside yourself for rules and social acceptance. I suggest you ask yourself why you would chose to have an avatar that looks Asian. Are you making fun of an ethnicity? Or are you more in the realm of "imitation is a sincere form of flattery'? If you are RL white and choose an SL black avatar you may learn something about how minorities are treated. The same with Asians. In RL Asians are discriminated against and limited in admission to universities in the US but not in SL. The idea of racial discrimination and racism is highly distorted in RL because of political agenda and its associated propaganda - which works. In SL the community is an international melting pot where people can mix at will and learn first hand what other nationalities and ethnicity are really like. Which counters the control political agendas push on us. Enjoy SL. Stop worrying about whether you are PC or or woke enough. A red flag should come up when you meet such people.

@Marianne Little Everything in SL is mesh... and Prims... All mesh items anywhere use a list of vertices to render a shape/object. In SL most prims have a list of vertices built into the viewer. Saves downloading. Only a list of parameters which define how the prim looks has to be downloaded. The exceptions are Sculpties and Prim Mesh objects. A sculpty uses an image for the list of vertices. We set the X,Y,Z values by setting the RGB values. Prim Mesh objects use a list of X,Y,Z values which we set by modeling in Blender or 3D Max. Prim Mesh objects render faster as it requires no decoding of the RGB image values. Sculpties were a work around for not having editable mesh prims AKA prims with an editable vertex list.

@Lord Derryth You need to work on your math. For Premium I pay ~US$100/year or about $8.25 per month. But I get L$300/week or about $62/year. So my actual real cost is $3.14/week. About half the cost of what you a touting. Also, I sell stuff in SL. That drives my cost down more. In the sense SL is expensive, it is for the same reason Super Bowl ads cost so much. Those 'working' in SL took about US$80 million out of the game in 2021... if I remember correctly. How much did players take out of your less expensive game? So, if you look at the entire user base's cost, which is more expensive?

Because it is a common Tuesday problem. One that most new people learning in a couple of months and anyone here more than year should think of first thing. Rolling restarts run for several hours. When there is any significant problem the Lindens will re-roll the grid to revert back to the previous version. So even more down time. The operations team has years of experience. They normally do an excellent job of rolling the grid to an updated version. But, there are times when things go side ways.

OMG! People it is Tuesday.... the restart day. Try again in 20 minutes. Or... log into a different region. If they are restarting your home or last visited region then your login WILL FAIL. Bounce to the web version of the Destination Guide and pick a place. Almost every Tuesday the Lindens update the region servers with new software. That requires a restart. About 80% of the grid is involved in the rolling restart. When things go well it takes a region about 10 minutes to restart. When things go wrong... well... no telling. But I have seen it take 2 to 4 hours for a region to come back online. The Lindens have something like 4,000 computers to update and restart. The operations team is watching the process and is usually on a problem before we users know there is a problem. But, file trouble tickets for those times they miss something. On Wednesday morning the Lindens are restarting the Release Candidate (RC) regions, about 20% of the grid.

@Kittycat1591 Also change your camera. I suspect the promo image was taken with a camera tweaked by 5 or more Ctrl-0 presses. Use Ctrl-8 - zoom in for for more fish-eye look, Ctrl=9 - Reset camera to about 50mm, and Ctrl-0 - zoom out for more telephoto look that moves away from the fish-eye distortion. You'll have bit of learning to do using these camera changes. Once you master the technique your in-world photos will improve a couple of notches. And they are handy for flying and in combat games.

Search using the World Map. Its there. It is at the southern tip of Satori. Any empty, stuff & people, region will do. The Lindens have provided a number of such regions to facilitate sailing and flying. So, Furball, Pounce, Windover Cay, and Rathais are examples.
