  1. That's SOP for at least two of the users that have posted in the last page ....
  2. I have several items from Hybrid (one of the first stores to sell Animal/Human Hybrid parts), avatars from The Lost Furrest/Lost Furrest Creatures, several IoW dragons (including adults) and one particular item that - while not made by a well known creator - still holds a special place for me. One of the friends I made early on in Second Life went about testing some of the limits of LSL as well as stress testing (often accidentally) the sim servers. I asked her one day if she could make me a double ended throwing Scythe, which she did ... and then took that further by making a "Scythe" Crossbow - no it did not fire Scythes, it was a Crossbow whose arms were scythe blades. What makes this special to me? The bolt ammunition was varied: Multi-bolt spreads/rains, "status effects", "Elemental" bolts (most using particle effects), two that dropped things at the impact point - a Meteor Bolt and a Sheep Dropper, and one which rezzed five Sheep that ran at the impact point as if part of a Stampede. Why do I consider it worth mentioning at all? Because of the physics engine at the time of its creation, if you fired too many Sheep Droppers, too quickly (you could set the firing rate as part of the configuration options) ... You'd bring down an entire aim thanks to the physics calcs.
  3. Want to discuss broader topics than the Linden Lab run forums allow for? Make your own Forum or go to one that already exists - there are a few. Problem solved.
  4. "Add" is the fix for "Wear" - as you'd well know if you bothered to dig even a little into Second Life's general and feature histories. What you should be asking is when/if Linden Lab will ever correctly name the two functions: "Wear & Replace" and "Wear & Add to .."
  5. Ah, of course ... Of course the Forum Contrarian would do his usual thing... Urgent Matters: Billing issues, Linden Dollar buying/selling issues, overturning wrongful ToS flags and similar issues. There are people who believe their particular issue is Absolutely Critical and must therefore take precedence over all other issues/tickets. They're wrong - period. Stow the attitude, file your tickets properly and use Live Support if it's that bloody critical to you. That's it. That's all. You're a Paying Customer? That's nice, get in line, there are a few more customers who've paid, ahead of you. Some with actually Urgent Matters.
  6. Sit down, learn to phrase your tickets properly, have patience and remember that what you believe is an "urgent" matter means jack squat. Consistently getting the same wait time while others aren't? Either your issue isn't as time critical as you believe it to be or you routinely bungle your wording. Either way? Live support does exist - find a time to use it. Nope, don't care what time zone you're in - if it's that critical to you, just do it.
  7. That's nice. You're also quite wrong in your assessment, hence (in part) the disbelieving, disagreeing laughter. You have options, some have been laid out for you. Use them. Your responses thus far speak volumes - you don't want options. You don't want information.
  8. Unless something has recently changed ... No. You most certainly can mix gifts and personal items in the exact same cart. Oh and by "recently" I mean since December 19, 2018.
  9. Ah yes, pointing out your options is "trolling" ... Welcome to public fora. Don't want other users pointing out your options? Make a blog post and lock it down.
  10. If someone is going to gift you a collar, they had better make certain that any instructions are sent along with it at the minimum.
  11. Harsh response, incoming: RTFM and set any gear you may have up properly before going anywhere - especially any Capture oriented places. If all you want is a pretty collar, there are plenty out there without RLV/BDSM related scripts in them. Use one. On the side track concerning RLV and things like titlers: RLV/RLVa requires a relay of some sort - these can be independent or built into the item in question. Using a properly made titler (or in my case a Group Changer) is not going to suddenly open you up to all of the other functions RLV offers.
  12. No agreement is needed. If that first point causes you to dismiss anything else, you've got a problem - that's all there is to it. Get over it. Same if you have an issue with how I presented my initial response. See, like some users ... I'm sick and tired of this particular topic cropping up in various forms and frankly just as sick of people treating it as something to seriously discuss. It belongs in the same place as threads complaining about the Graphics - File Thirteen.
  13. Second Life does not have a "Player Base" - it has a User Base. Get it right. Any and all comparisons to things such as Minecraft - or any other "game" - are failed/false from the start. Stop making such comparisons. Depending on who you ask, Second Life has been "declining" since even before I joined - near the end of 2006. There is no shortage of users that honestly believe they have The Magic Solution to Solve Second Life's User Woes - some even going so far as to pretend their "contributions" mean anything/give their opinions more weight (newsflash, they don't). I've watched users come and go over the years, watched whole communities rise and fall ... There's always someone to tout The Next Big Idea to Save The Grid. Always. More than ninety percent of the time, this Next Big Idea is primarily self-serving, only benefiting other users by proxy. There's also always at least one user that is quick to blame everyone else, at least one user who tries to stratify/label various classes of users while pretending their own attitude isn't a problem ... The list goes on and on and isn't even touching the grand sim ideas of the past that died out - some that return in one form or another and some that will sadly never come back. Nor does it touch properly upon the creators that left - some for good reasons, some because of overly fragile egos - or the creators that are no longer with us in general. Second Life will not be around forever, let the Lindens/Linden Lab worry about the User Base. Like to explore? Go - Explore. Dance? Same. Heck, almost any activity ... Enjoy it while it lasts.
  14. The SysReqs page has been outdated for a while now. Citing it for any reason other than pointing out how outdated it is ... is pointless.
  15. Welcome to the forum, where you can comment/post to your heart's content without needing anything more than your Second Life credentials. Find a relevant section and leave a comment or start a topic. It's that simple, really. Can't be arsed? That's on you.You're not forced to use the Facebook integration - period.
  16. The company is called Linden Lab - Not Linden Labs, SLabs or anything else. Learn the difference between Copy Bot and all other forms of item replication. Unless you have a written contract between yourself and whatever content creators (if any) were involved in creating your "look" ... you haven't a hope in the world of any "legal actions" helping you in the slightest Courts generally do not care about such things either - you're SOL Want a Linden response? Too bad. The fora by and large is read by other Second Life users. Welcome to Second Life, the proper forms for being Butt Hurt can be found three sims down and to the left of Orientation Island Public.
  17. No, "everyone" isn't using Legacy Search. Users of some TPVs use what is classified as "Legacy" search.
  18. Considering the place I rent a 4096 (on an Island) from hasn't removed a similar capability from the security system they offer ...
  19. Alternately the posted time of 0530 PST could have been a typo. You know, the simple answer.
  20. Every time a similar thread pops up, someone chimes in concerning Mobile devices ... No, they are not "the future" (not yet) and no, not a single one currently on the market - or even planned - is powerful enough to run a proper Second Life client. You want a mobile client? Use what is out there or code it yourself.
  21. Yeah, if you intend to use VR, then the 1000 series cards are your best bet. The 2000 series (RT/RTX) are "First Generation" models/tech as far as the Ray Tracing they use goes .... not really worth it if all you're looking for is VR.
  22. That's the OGL and Driver version, not the card model itself. For most uses, the 400 series drivers aren't really needed ... They're meant for the 2000 series nVidia RT/RTX models and a few functions (as of the 415 set of drivers) for Linux users and some older software/games (Transform feedback for example). If you mean a Lenovo Laptop ... yeah, that'd be a bit of an issue.
