Oh good. Ethan was on the ball! \o/

This works not only with Firestorm but also with all other viewers. https://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_missing_inventory No, I haven't read the thread. Yet. If the issue has been solved... great! If not... this should.

It's been decades since I heard the joke and all I remember is the punchline. It goes like this: "A slap happy Jappy with a crap happy pappy." I wouldn't have thought of if it Chic hadn't reminded me.

Tell me something I haven't known for 14 years. You know what? I'm sorry I said anything. I'm sorry I wanted to improve things on the forum for everyone. I'm sorry I wanted to help. It won't ever happen again.

My list didn't include politics or religion for good reason. If people don't want to talk about things that help them to get to know others better like what books they are reading/have read, or their favorite tv shows and movies, or countless other things, that's on them, not me. Frankly, I don't see how discussing Dragonriders of Pern would discourage discussion of SL. Oh. Oops.

I'm wasn't after anything other than making a suggestion.

No.

Tell me something I haven't known for a few decades. I suggested expanding GD into something a bit more organized. You don't like the suggestion. I get that. You don't need to beat me over the head with it. Since no one is interested in setting up an area where posters can get to know other posters better before taking the plunge inworld (which is difficult for some to do) I'm just going to bow out.

The one issue I can see with that though is, will those "discussions" be kept within that sub forum or will they end up spilling out all over the board, like what has happened numerous times on other forumS.

I've owned and admined quite a few forums in the past 20 years. I no longer have the time or energy it takes to put into it. I posted on SLU for 9 years. I then made the switch to VV1 thinking a new start would bring about some good things. That didn't happen and I no longer post there.

I'm not blind. My point was ANY heated discussion is a liability on a corporate "public facing" forum. So, based on that, the logical thing to do is shut the forums down entirely.

I was not suggesting making politics, religion and society a part of the SL forums. SLU was originally created specifically for SL. VV1 expands on that foundation by adding other virtual worlds, VR, etc. I'm not suggesting LL expand the SL forums in that manner. Since heated discussions can only be a liability then perhaps the best thing to do would be shut the forums down entirely. Perhaps you simply do not see the heated discussions that occur that do pertain to SL.

Where is this forum? All I see is the one GD that has no organization. What's wrong with having an organized section where people can choose the topics they want to discuss? It would make the mods jobs easier, not harder. Heck, I could do all the work for them to set it up without even having to shut down the board. It's not hard to do and it doesn't take all that long.

What I'm envisioning is a separate category for General Discussion with sections for different types of topics like so: General Discussion Books Music Food Games (forum) Sports Tech support (pcs) TV/Movies Other sections can be added if needed. It would be a means of getting to know other residents for those looking for friends. Imagine that. Getting to know other people by their own words. Funny how that works in both RL and SL.

You're making this too easy. lol https://www.virtualverse.one/forums/#off-topic-discussions.3

SL is a part of RL for all SL residents. Why do we need anything pertaining to non SL topics (General Discussion) if all we ever talk about is SL? Boring. Boring. Boring. That "mouse click away" works both ways.

You know what they say about wishing in one hand? Yeah.

If there were one and the mods have been explicitly told they can not close threads in that section for going off topic, only if things get out of hand, it would not only give us some breathing room, it would make the mods jobs easier. And those that get a thrill from reporting off topic won't be able to get threads shut down just because they don't like the topic or person.

Tell that to the mods who are a bit too enthusiastic about nuking non SL related threads from orbit that are in GD.

I did not say "anything but SL". Billi did. I did not say I agreed with the "anything but SL" specifically either now did I.

They do get closed when the topics stray into religion territory (and politics) and someone reports it. Other than that the mods don't go looking for off topic threads to close.

Oddly enough I happen to agree with Billi. I've been wanting a section where we can discuss things not necessarily SL related.

When you go to make a post, before you even type, you can go to the dropdown Insert other media, select Insert existing attachment, then left click the one you want to remove and click Clear Selection. That's how I get rid of duplicates.
