[Cashing Out]

Yes, you just need to have a payement method registered in Billing info (Credit card, PayPal or Skrill)

[What's up with avatars on friend list marked as (???).(???) for display name?]

There's a bug report on the LL Jira: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-231680

[What kind of avatar would you like your avatar to be, old or new?]

Define old and new please?

[Switching to Firestorm]

Firestorm hosts a bunch of classes about the viewer, it can be helpful and even teach you a few tricks: https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/firestorm_classes for the schedule

[What Draw Distance is your viewer set to?]

Standard is 128 but I change it all the time. Could be anywhere from 32 to max, depending on what I'm doing or need to see. Yay for sliders and chat commands!

[Best AO]

It realy depends on what you want from an AO. Some are moving about a lot, some are very subtle. There are ones that are all girly and very kawai, business ones, tough ones etc. You can also get seperate animations you like and combine them yourself, either in an empty AO hud or, if you use Firestorm, in the built in AO. Maybe other viewers have built in AO as well but I don't use them so I don;t know. Have fun shopping and trying out animations!

[Can we have a political sub forum?]

I realy would'nt mind a political subforum. It would just be one of the subfora and subjects I ignore, same as the ones for creators or merchants for instance.

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean you can't have it

[Basic SLetiquette Friendship Rules]

3 hours ago, Paladin Tyran said:

we really need a better way to manage friendship list... going from  "i will ad this guy maybe some day i will need him" to basic friends, intimates, to "almost twins" . good friends don"t need rules, we know each other to well. i know a lot of people in sl, mostly in clubs/ places i go, i remember them , most of the time, but my friend list is short, i really ad only people i care. once they in, i will never remove them, even they don't log for years. just treat sl friendlist like rl , call friends only people that matter to you...

Firestorm has contact sets for that. You can add people there without being friends. You can make different sets and use different colours too. Very nice if you want to seperate customers or business contacts from friends!

 

[Advice needed for day 1 noob]

Besides the great advise from Josephina remember to get demos and try them out before buying anything

[Do you change your avatar’s features?]

I tweak and change skins from light to darker and I wear more or less make up. But I stay more or less the same type of avatar 

[Ebbe Altberg Memorial]

I just visited and found out about the candles. What a lovely gesture! 

 

[RIP Mr Altberg]

What a shock! I wish his loved ones much strength to deal with the loss .

It must be a blow for all the people at the Lab too!

 

[Problem with object rotation]

Draw distance at 1024 will put a lot of strain on your computer, try reducing it when editing and see if that helps

 

[classic avatar to Mesh avatar]

Please before you buy anything else, GET DEMOS!

Take some time to try them out, try skins, shapes, clothing too. 

 

[Avatar Body Changes]

A mesh body is a wearable item, just likes clothes, that creates a layer over your default classic body. You need to buy one (or get one of the free ones), read the directions and just wear it like you would wear clothes. Using 'add' instead of 'wear' will prevent it from removing any other items.

Most clothes are available for the most popular bodies, like Maitreya or Slink. Once you chose a body make sure the clothes are made for that.

Important: get demos and play with them before you make a purchase!

[Blackdragon Viewer]

As with any viewer, opinions and use differ, depending on your machine, connection and preferences. You can install multiple viewers on your computer and try them out. Use what's best suited for your needs!

 

[Discord of Maitreya. Does they have one?]

According to the profile of the owner ( Onyx LeShelle) you need to contact Gryphon Ronas for questions.

Another option is to join this group:  Maitreya Lara Friends

It doesn;t look like they're using Discord

[Need advice! Can I do ---- type of question]

Simple advise if something happens that makes you uncomfortable in any way: Mute/block the avatars, Send abuse report if needed, move to another region, smile and forget about it. Have fun!

[Farewell... (soon)]

Retiring? How is that possible, you're no older than 35ish?    Thnx for all you did Oz and enjoy your retirement. Have fun!

[Camera Preset Positions - Vanished!]

Are you sure you're on Firestorm 6.4.12? 

A screenshot from your viewer will give us more info on what you see (or don't see)

Willumpjuuuh!

 

I don't think it's Land van Ooit (I still miss that park, so much fun!) It looks more like Efteling or maybe Archeon to me. But I could be mistaken!

 

[The new Firestorm seems corrupted!]

The viewer doesn't change or mature overnight. The only changes made in the viewer is when YOU update it 😉
