The only ways I know for someone to animate your avatar is if you click agree to something like AvieX wants anitmate your avatar or messages like AvieY wants to bite you, or hug you, or kiss you, etc. Also if you participate in BDSM or Gor there is RLV and collars that animate your avatar but again this is something you wear and agree to.

Adding a new item to your magic box is OH SO FUN !
Lyra Blackthorne replied to Zhoie Zimermann's topic in Merchants
My items sync almost immediately. I would look for a new home for your box in a low lag spot and maybe also split up contents into more boxes if your current box is chockfull. -
Who is the target audience for Second life?
Lyra Blackthorne replied to JohnnyMercury's topic in General Discussion Forum
With the merged grid and the fact that the new Premium Sandboxes are G rated only, makes me think they are going to make a push in the youth market. LL likes virtual good sales, but they do not support their creators/merchants; rather appear to work at alienating them which seems at cross purposes The one industry that generates the most revenues in RL and SL/today and historically, is sex. But, LL does not like to talk about SL and sex. Gambling was huge in its day but understand when that had to go...though seems might have just been more profitable to relocate the company to another country and maintain that cash flow. -
I liked the old browser better
Lyra Blackthorne replied to BigMac Desoto's topic in Second Life Viewer
Try Phoenix or Firestorm with the Phoenix like tweaks. Neither are mesh enabled today but Firestorm is should be soon, but like you, today I have no interest in mesh at all so that is a non-issue for me -
Sculpty parts to my clothes...IM so stuck!!!
Lyra Blackthorne replied to Bex Fallen's question in Creation
It is likely the attachment points you are using. Make your cuff then attach to lower arm or forearm (cant remember which is says) but you need the cuff attached near the wrist unless it is a rolled up sleeve and then you would want uppper arm. Once you have the cuff attached, you will need to position it correctly. Collars usually attach to spine -
Maybe try a different viewer. I use Phoenix or Firestorm which can be downloaded at: http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ Neither of these can see mesh yet...but I do not care if ever see mesh lol. Might change my mind in future but for today am happy watching people wear donuts. You could also try one of these other third party viewers or an earlier version of the LL Viewer: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory

You might want to put this in the Wanted section of the Forums

I do not know of a way you can do this without spending a pretty large sum of money as you will need to purchase: - Child avatar, unless you can make your own - Child skin - Child hairstyle - Child animations for your AO; might need custom animations as have never seen a toddler in SL so they might not exist - Toddler clothing and shoes

Teleport AO - Where does it come from ??
Lyra Blackthorne replied to RainSong Jun's topic in General Discussion Forum
it is probably the pose set for landing in her AO. she could edit the config card in her AO and replace with another of her liking -
For inventory I also use subfolders for everything...Shoes/Heels, Flats,Boots etc. It is just like a closet once you make up the folders. As you try on your outfits you might also want to relabel the content folder to descibe it better. For wearables I usually use the color as first word then what it is and last creator name as part of my description...Pink denim mini skirt by ABC Shop or Black long slv sweater by XYZ. Then put it in the right folder like Tops/Sweaters. But, with so many wonderful things in SL do not be fearful of deleting items...you will get more and more as you are inwolrd! As you look at items toss out anything that does not suit your personal style, is less well made or dated or you just don't love it. If you do not get rid of things you will find yourself wearing items that you like less than others or having a inventory of stuff you never wear but takes up space...and the more in your inventory the slower you load after a point. Boxes can be helpful too. My home is now set up as I like it and unless I move or decide to remodel I do not need to access many items. I rezed boxes and named them landscaping, furniture, home accessories. Ffilled them up with inventory items and then took the filled boxes back into my inventory; you could also just stack them up on a shelf at home. This took 100's of individual items out and turned them to just 3 boxes. I have done the same with holiday items; have boxes for Christmas etc that I rezz annually and then return to a box after the holiday has passed. You can make cleaning inventory more fun by inviting a friend or two over who needs to do the same cleaning. Listen to music, chat and oh/ahh over your inventory discoveries together. Happy sorting!

You can find a nice combat helmet at Tonktastic For hair, you will need to find a short or updo style with the bang you like then mod the heck out of the hair prim by prim. Using edit linked parts click on each prim and stretch to make short and /or push around inside the helmet any hair that hangs down or pokes out of the helmet. Make sure you save the original so if mess up can start over.

Not sure what you are looking at but a 512 is tier free if you are premium. I am a premium member, have a 512 plot and have never paid $5. I could choose to have a Linden Home instead of my land but, prefer not to live in a colony In addition to the land, I also receive: Weekly stipend of linden (like a allowance from your parents) You receive 1000L bonus 45 days after you become Premium I can own mainland property if I choose..non premium members can only rent from private estate owners I get extend support and the ability to use Live Chat for instant help. There is little to no help for non Premium Recently they also made available Premium member only Sandboxes I get most of what I spend in dollars back in the form of Lindens and the extra benefits like service make Premium membership a good value to me

What did you do as a noob(ie)?
Lyra Blackthorne replied to Pamela Galli's topic in General Discussion Forum
I flew around and picked money off of the Trees Camped Joined a lucky chairs group to get free clothes Teleported my Lucky Chairs friends to party at the good Mob Vend locations Waited on release dates for FirstLand and then tried to click faster than 50 other newbies to buy it first Took tons of newcomer and free building classes The now departed Diversity Hair shop gave noobs a free hair. I tried to raise it on my head a bit and it ended up 2 feet from my body and could not figure out how to get it back. The wonderful owner Alerie Darks took pity on me and gave me another set...I still remember her kindness Very little was free so I saved my money for a very long time to get a skin - was a noob with horrid skin for months. It took me weeks to figure out what skin I wanted and hours to pick out the makeup. The cost of skin was a vast sum and so a hugely important decision! I would not pay 1L for a demo it seemed a lot of money. I once tipped a person 5L thinking it was a huge sum -
You can : ) A special note: Make sure that you try a demo on BEFORE buying. If the shape does not come with a styling card so you know what skin it was made with, you might find the result unsatisfactory with your skins and not know what to buy to achieve the look on the box. Not all shapes and skins match up well. It is totally possible to have a great skin and a great shape and still look perfectly horrid if the marriage of the two is off.

Yes stolen content. I am sending a link to this thread to Queue Marlowe the owner of Analog

Maybe you are trying to drive vehicles that are not owned by you? If you do not own it in most cases you can not use it. If you bought a vehicle and cannot drive it, send a im to the creator and they should be abe to help.

Can anyone recommend a Photography tutorial/hints and tips?
Lyra Blackthorne replied to Monique Bellambi's question in Getting Started
Besides info on taking photos you will want to learn about Photoshop or Gimp which is free. Much of what you see in SL photography is done after the photo is taken -
Maybe because I have been here awhile and I have my own land I do not care about free gifts nor premium sandboxes. Gifts in general do not work well, even in RL...any gift you can think of will only appeal to a small percentage of recipients others wont need it, wont like it or both. Also "free" rarely generates any long term loyalty. I would rather have some cost savings like tier reduction, reduced advertising costs for Premium member merchants or some such But even more I would be happiest if they upgraded the support staff with people who are SL experienced so our service is better/broader and then spent their time and money fixing what is broken in the world like inworld search and the Marketplace

Mine was slightly up in August compared to July. But summer is always a slump

Dear LL, what I'd like to see in premium accounts
Lyra Blackthorne replied to Kit Helix's topic in General Discussion Forum
Nooblets can still get a 512. They can choose to have the Linden Home or they can buy a small 512 and pay no tier. New Premium sandboxs were just released -
how to do linden exchanges?
Lyra Blackthorne replied to jazzy Greene's question in Linden Dollars (L$)
Go to the Linden Exchange area found on the left side of your dashboard. Click on manage then select sell. I use the second sell option ---gives choice of exchange rate, usually around 250L to USD is quick. Once the sell order is filled by LL you will be notified. Then you need to go back to the Linden Exchange/Manage and select Process Credit to actually get the proceeds sent to you. It is there you will find the option for using PayPal. Having funds recieved from LL to my PayPal account takes as little as 24 hours or up to one week...but usually 4-5 days -
Why is ALL my Linden gone and my transaction history wiped?
Lyra Blackthorne replied to Goldie Ocello's question in Linden Dollars (L$)
Do not know where your linden went but transaction history only goes back 30 days. So if you were out for months there would be no history. If you are a premium account holder you could go to Live Chat and see if they can help -
Query abouy Muting and Blocking
Lyra Blackthorne replied to lolalab69's question in Abuse and Griefing
