So there is a fix for inventory disappearing from our folders?
We must have a problem with disappearing inventory!
Voila!
Apparently you really don't want the issue fix. Far be it from me to push my help on someone who doesn't want it. Good day.

@Selene Gregoire..... I know the firestorm inventory cache clear trick ... still have multiple empty folders from older items I bought in the first few years of SL.. if you dont have any empty folders then perhaps you are a younger avi then me. But I respect your opinion and your fix info for users that have the problem and need to know the fix.
I created this avatar in 2005. My first was in 2004. I've never had ny empty folders or folders stuck outside of Inventory but I sure have helped a lot of people who have in the over 5 years I was on the support team. Yes, I went there.
I never mentioned inventory cache clear. Not even what I had in mind. This is a fix from before that trick.
To each their own.
Enjoy SL. It's the only SL you've got.

Hey all. Where is the farthest location that someone in SL has told you they were located in a conversation?
The farthest I've talked to someone was from Italy. I even remarked to him , "Wow, you live far away!" There may have been farther conversations but that's the one I recall.
Whichever one of you is farthest from where I live.
Over the years I've spoken with people all over the world and some I never knew what country they were in. Of course, distance is relative to which direction you go from where you are. LIke Russia for instance, Go east from where I live and it is the farthest, go west and it is much, much closer. Like next door neighbor close.

That's not fair.
I've lost count how many times I've been mad at Linden Lab for not delivering the quality they ought to but I've never ever doubted their good intentions. I know for a fact that all LL employees and cotractors involved with Second Life genuinely love SL and only want to do what they think is best for this virtual world.
I'm with you on this but it still doesn't explain how LL manages to fall flat on its face far more often than not. Track records speak volumes and LL's record is not good. Never has been. And going by past history, never will be.

Thanks all.
@Whirly Fizzle can you shed any light on this?

No not really because it was still exactly like this in 2007 as well. As I said previously, all that shows is how they presented it, which could show an intention of wanting SL to seem like a friendly place and not that the list should literally taken as just for friends and nothing but friends, whatever that means in an SL context, as was claimed. That is why I asked for more to back up claims about intention. Really only LL staff from around that time could definitely say whether it was meant to be literal or whether it was an attempt to present in a friendly way.
I think I have been around these trees enough now and if it still not understood what I am trying to say then it is probably best call it done and move on because my starting opinion wasn't really that big a deal.
It was never "presented" by LL to begin with. It is how people used it. It is still used in the same way by many. LL's intentions don't make much difference, if any, in how people use features. Don't want to add someone to your friends list but want to be able to easily stay in contact? Use a calling card. It is as simple as that. It's called personal choice. The individual chooses how to use their contacts/friends lists, not LL. LL merely provided the options.

Anyone else suddenly unable to purchase Ls through their viewer? FS tells me I need to provide more info yet I can buy Ls through the website. Need to know if it's just me or not or if it's a problem with FS and I'll be forced to update before the next release.
Never had this happen before in all the years I've bought Ls via my viewers. Only issue I ever had was when LL's website went borkers on me years ago when trying to change my payment info.

the fact half the inventory they bought over the years has disappeared out of their cache without a clue. How many of you have empty folders lurking in the back of your inventory files.
In all the years I have been in SL that has never happened to me. And there is a fix for it. @Whirly Fizzle can help you with it. Or any of the FS support team members. There's even a page somewhere on the FS wiki for it.

my "Unsorted" folder... I had ~120 boxes in there
Mine? It has about 14 years worth of stuff in it to be sorted... Pretty much everything I had prior to coming back in Oct 2018. Eventually I'll get a round tuit and have it all neatly boxed and organized just in case I ever want those items again. Some are prims builds I intend to recreate with mesh.

Please provide details of how you know this was definitely the intention and how you know it wasn't just to give a warm fuzzy feel to SL because pointing out to calling cards doesn't clinch it for me. I would love to know more.
Would someone who has been in SL since year 2 be proof enough? Because what Molly said is true. Calling cards were intended to be handed out to those you were not ready to friend yet or wanted to get to know before adding as friend. It was a means of contact between two strangers who had friendship potential or as business contacts since it would be years before any TPVs and the ability to create contact sets. I was here then and that is how it was in 2004.

I guess it depends on the person too. Telling anyone anything won't necessarily make them do it, but enough hurts and betrayals just might, and not in the best way possible either.
Ain't that the truth. On the bright side though...

One more thing that won't be a popular opinion but I'll share it anyway, is learn (if you can) not to wear your heart on your sleeve so openly.
That particular piece of advice never works. I should know. I heard it enough from my mother as a child. Telling a sensitive person to stop wearing their feelings on their sleeves only makes the person (or child) being told resentful and in the long run could be far more damaging than allowing your emotions to show.

Hey guys I've heard of 2nd life for a while and never thought I'd get into it but why not. I'm an experienced gamer on ps4 console so gaming is completely foreign to me. However I have no clue how to work this game or what I'm supposed to do. Any help would be grateful. Thanks and hope you all are having a wonderful day.
Hi there BeesKnees!
SL isn't a game per se so it helps if you try not to look at it as one. It is a creative platform with social aspects.
This article is an old one from 2007 but it still gives you the gist of what SL is about.
Welcome to SL! I hope you enjoy your time here.

I didn't know it could be turned off.
What's the behavior of region crossings with it turned off? And, assuming it's better behavior than the default, how do you turn it off?
Probably under the Developer menu in FS. Might be under Advanced menu. Personally, I won't be turning it off. If ti's what I"m thinking it is, it definitely improved sim crossings. Which are not the same thing as region crossings, obviously.

my RL location is irrelevant to what we do in SL.
Yes and no. Your general geological location (meaning mostly country) can give people an idea of the cultural background you come from so they can avoid saying or doing things that may inadvertently offend. What isn't offensive to most in one area may be highly offensive in another. Even in the US cultures vary from one state to the next. There are just more of them from all over the world. Of course the same info can be used to hurt. Sometimes the risk is more than worth it.
But as for needing to know an exact loction? Nah. You'd have to live close by and actually want to be friends in RL for me to tell you my home address.

Looking for a lost jelly bean? That's disgusting!
No, not a jelly bean, it was a wall socket screw and I was only 2 years old. As far as I know it's still in the gold oval frame my mom put it in and still in the house I grew up in.

I'm usually building and I work better when I'm not trying to hold a conversation at the same time. I'm not fast at what I do, intentionally. I take a lot of short breaks sprinkled with a couple of long ones mostly because right now I can be on for 6 - 8 hours a day or more so that's how long I will work and do household stuff on those breaks. And I don't always turn on auto-response when I go afk or even say I'm going afk. So I'm usually not the best company unless I've made plans ahead of time to do something other than build.
But if you're just looking for a companionable silence, I'm your gal. When I'm not being a nervous chatterbox around someone I'm not very familiar with yet. You'll get one or the other* (sometimes both!) even if I do know you but with less stress. This is the reason I don't associate, in world, with those who claim they keep SL and RL separate. I can't get to know you without knowing you. That is what keeping SL and RL separate means. That who you are in SL is not the same person as you are in RL. I'm not interested in spending what time I have left in this life on those who are only roleplaying. When I want RP, I go to an RP sim. Otherwise, what you get is the real me. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
*when nervous I will either talk your ears off or hardly say a word at all so sometimes it's hard to tell. The only sure way to tell is if you could see me in RL and see me almost completely stop breathing.

When some land in a region is given more prims by means of the bonus factor, other parts of the region have to pay the price. In effect, the region owner takes prims away from some of the land to apply them to other parts of the land.
Which, according to LL, is the only way they could increase prim count.
By not actually increasing them, just changed the formula and called it land impact instead so later on they could make it look like they were increasing overall prim count from 15k to 30k so that region owners would feel like they are getting twice the bang for their buck when they really aren't.
Never made a bit of sense to me. Robbing from Peter to pay Paul. Gotta love LL! Or we'd all gtfo.

Online/ Offline status is a technical solution for a host of problems, technical and social. It's not purely a social thing.
But tackling the actual question: If you don't want these people sending you messages, why would you add them in the first place?
Why bother to log in?
Why bother to breathe?
Humans are social animals. A few are pack animals, many are herd animals, some are loners. We all need to feel a connection to another human being regardless of how that connection takes shape, including loners much as a loner will deny it. We aren't human without that connection.
