In-viewer build tools for the current features would be a godsend.

Fantastic info! Again, thanks so much, you've been a tremendous help!

Thank you very much for the information, and especially for taking the time to go into detail. I really do appreciate it.

If anything, I think the learning curve for certain things in SL, at least when it comes to content creation, has become steeper instead of easier. I've been away a while, but when I first joined SL flexi-prims weren't even a thing yet. But most everything could be created in world using prims and uploading custom textures at most. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but now with mesh being the big thing, most of that content has to be created client side in programs like Blender and then uploaded in-world? Sure, it makes things look nicer and more up-to-date, but it also appears to require more time, tools, and specific skillsets to create things than it once did. Somehow in that regard it feels like one step forward and two steps back.

Coming back from a very long hiatus, all these mesh bodies and attachments are new to me. So I'm trying to learn and navigate my way back into SL with as little pain as possible. What I was wondering, are there any popular male mesh bodies with somewhat realistic proportions and has a good assortment of mesh clothing options available? I have no desire for my avatar to run around looking like he spent the last 20 years overdosing on steroids.

To me that's the allure of SL. It is so multi-faceted that it can be whatever one wants it to be. SL is what you make of it. Of course, that's probably also what confuses so many people, as there isn't any one set purpose paved in stone, so people spend too much time just trying to figure out what it's about and they get frustrated and give up. SL has always been an enigma of sorts, but one that requires more time and patience to learn that most people aren't willing to commit towards the learning curve.

I sometimes wonder what I'd be doing without coffee. Probably 25 to life.

If using a double-negative is bad grammar, what does that make using a triple-negative divided by a quad-positive to the square root of round pies, preferably pecan?

I like oatmeal.

He went on about the (non-working) HUD being against the law (his words, not mine) because it was remote monitoring. He also accused someone who was there for the first time of using a hacked viewer. Turns out he owns a bar that is not the top of the destinations list. Eh, that joker left my alt an offline IM telling me it was against the law. I was tempted to tell him to call his local police dept. to report the crime, or better yet the FBI, but I decided to be nice by biting my tongue and ignoring him. I guess I should have at least acknowledged his complaint by thanking him for bringing such a heinous criminal act to my attention and rewarded him with a half eaten box of stale marshmallow peeps.

I am thrilled to see that the hangout has made it into the destination guide. The hangout has long been a fixture to a lot of people, having withstood the test of time so far, and with any luck it'll continue on for long time to come.

Thank you, Suella Ember, for the very helpful tutorial.

I treated my avatar to a premium account for the first 3 years, always thinking I would get around to buying more land than the First Land 512 for L$512, but nothing ever came of it. The L$400 a week stipend was kind of nice though.

I really miss the old forum software. Right now, new and improved isn't feeling very improved at all.

So.... Who woke up this morning with a hangover?

Yeah, if there's going to be any bunny cooking, roast it instead... maybe with a little honey glaze.

Oatmeal during the week. Guacamole on weekends. No, really.

To sit in poses impossible to achieve with the human body while consuming beverages from open containers that never spill.

Apparently this forum software does not get along well with IE9 RC whatever... Will this thread make it to over 4,000 pages?
