  1. Ah no, I'm not logged in. I'm logged into the forums, but that login doesn't carry across to profile pages. I'm not logged in in-world, or to the profile pages. I see all three profile's fine. Privacy settings hide your Groups, RL, and Picks if I'm not logged in, for both 'now' and 'future' profiles.
  2. http://world.secondlife.com/resident/881a3736-29e3-434b-b3dc-296d4c862b61 <- Your web profile 'past' https://my.secondlife.com/mickey.vandeverre <- Your web profile 'now' https://my-demo.secondlife.com/mickey.vandeverre <- Your web profile 'future' All seem fine to me. Though I admit, I'm not sure if your post was directed at me. Or do you mean a different page?

  4. Same reason Crysis doesn't work on Windows 98. SL viewer 1's old hat. :matte-motes-sunglasses-1:
  5. First, make sure you're using a WIRED connection, not wireless. If you're a bit techie (or know someone that is), see if you're having problems on your network ports, either with a software firewall (Norton, Commodo, Kaspersky) or your LAN router (if you use ADSL):- Port 53 via UDP and TCP Port 443 via TCP Port 12043 via UDP and TCP Check these ports are open, according to your set-up. And maybe test them if you're able. It's not something I know a fantastic amount about, but I've heard failing TPs are often a sign of poorly-configured networks. Good luck. =]
  6. That sounds curious. Still, it gives you a fancy way to leave a room! Jump and TP!
  7. According to SLGridStatus, everything is good. Maybe try relogging to your home, or to a different sim. http://status.secondlifegrid.net/
  8. Just wanted to add to this thread that I've been following Penny's works for years. I've been proudly 5' 7 since February 2008 (except for an temporary issue with a broken height detector ). My personal builds are always scaled realistically, and I've never been called a midget/pygmy/child av. I've been using (a slightly modified, but that's the point) Penny's windlight day cycle, height detector and camera offsets since she posted them. It's improved my SL, and I'm very grateful for her hard work. Most of my friends are a similar height. Those that aren't 'to scale' look weird to me, as opposed to being 'normal'. I think that's fine.

It's slightly more up-to-date than the newest official viewer, but it may be less stable. Looking at the JIRA, the fix to the /me bug shouldn't be in the Development Viewer. However the next time your current viewer auto-updates, the bug should go away on its own. Hope that helps.
  10. Are you using the latest SL viewer? 2.7.2? Or is it the beta? I believe an issue sneaked in to one of those and disabled '/me'. I've heard other people say that they have the same issues. (JIRA: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25957 ) Check your version and maybe see if you can't get a different one without this bug. A helpful link:- http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/

Funny that "that" viewer that attracts all of the "dramafolks" and stuff, as you claim (but of which you have no proof what-so-ever) ended up being one of the most popular viewers in SL (in V1 form anyway). ...Dres Getting awfully defensive up in here. I skipped out on stating 'your milage may vary' because I figured that was obvious. My apologies for that presumption, and I hope you can see some of the circles in your logic. Enjoy the thread.
  12. I think you're making a few assumptions about the LL legal team. They may work out, they may not. This link implies there was some trouble previously, but my memory isn't good enough to recall. As I said I didn't use Emerald for very long, and I fully admit to not knowing too much about the technical aspects of OTR. I've never seen it used for anything as pure as recipes. I agree that it is the least offensive of the options in the survey, however. I guess my point is that you can either be that viewer that attracts/encourages all of the dramafolks, stalkers and griefers, or you can say "No, I think we can be better than that."
  13. Appreciate your reply (despite the minor worry everyone would miss me, being the last on the page ). I think they're impossible to resist. I used Emerald for a week or two at some stage, and found my partner at the time had hidden two of their alts from me. This was entirely their choice, and I trusted that they'd made the correct call. I never questioned the choice or even made clear that I knew the accounts were hidden. I'm not that type. But knowing they were hidden, what was I supposed to think? In what way did that information improve my Second Life experience? OTR, I'm also against. If you're using LL servers, what you're doing has to be auditable by LL. It's the only way for LL to ensure that they're keeping in-line with various worldwide laws on fraud monitoring and other criminal investigations. Sure it's not a crime to use, but it puts them in an awkward position that I don't think is fair. And honestly, I'm of the opinion that the only people who need to hide IMs from LL, are those who shouldn't be using SL to chat.
  14. Void Singer wrote: the best way to combat drama is not to get involved in it, not jump to conclusions, and drop people like hot rocks that do those things. I hate to pounce on this, since I'm aware of the wonderful work you do, but I do take exception to this statement. It's nothing personal, but I've seen this view expressed elsewhere and it's invalid. Saying "get better friends" doesn't help anyone when the functionality is being pushed into peoples' view by the viewer. The viewer is a part of of SL culture (boob-physics, media privacy, Emeraldgate), and people use it to determine what is 'socially acceptable'. People will use these features regardless of how drama-avoidant people would be otherwise. It's hard not to take the phrase 'X isn't friends with you anymore.' personally. It's hard not to ask someone WHY they think they need to hide their online status from you. Sure, people can use hacks and tricks to find out these things using standard LSL. People could make a list of their friends and check against it to see who's been deleting them. But how many people do that routinely? Feel free to post in contradiction if you do. The difference is that by putting the features in the viewer, you encourage people to use them as standard (case in point, Show LookAt, since being publicised by Emerald, is now a feature many people use daily). Before Emerald included the features mentioned in this survey, I'd never ONCE* heard someone complain about a hidden status or removed friendship, now it seems people complain every other day. People need a viewer that ENCOURAGES cohesion within the community, rather than one that draws your attention to negative events. * I'm sure they happened, but in much smaller numbers that never made it to my ears.
  15. Quality assurance, for builds in SL? Pfft. The whole point is that you can build anything that fits on your land, so long as it's not against the CS/ToS. Getting a Linden to vet builds in SL is crazy-town frolics. People won't build well just because they should, and people shouldn't be forced to build to invented 'standards' just because things don't suit the local neighbourhood watch. People need to make the most out of their builds (in your case, clubs) by making them commercially viable (in your case, leasing out space to vendors) because the visitors alone don't cover the operating costs of the venue. If you're mad about the amount of work people are putting in to keeping your favourite places alive (and free), your anger is misplaced. Regarding your (and I emphasise the subjective YOUR) rental experience, SL operates a 'buyer beware' policy and if you can't trust other residents with your money, you should look into a Linden Home or buy some mainland. I don't understand your uh, complaints about the website suggesting you download a single viewer. Discarded. tl;dr: Your problems are easily fixed; just go somewhere else. Anything else is just you inflicting your subjective, poorly-examined experience on the rest of the community for trolling/venting purposes.
  16. It's actually a part of Community Standards (article 5: Adult Regions, Groups and Listings). You're right that it seems to be pretty-well hidden. The purpose behind the rule is that all resident profiles are listed as 'General', and can't be filtered by maturity rating, therefore they have to apply the strictest rating. To quote the SL wiki: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Maturity-ratings-and-search/ta-p/828865 People tab The search system does not filter keywords when you search for avatar names or profiles. Information in Resident profiles should be General. Please refer to our Community Standards for details. 
  17. tl;dr. The forum's just a dumb place for people to crowd-source for answers, or for people to waste time when they can't get in-world. Politicizing it is crazy. Get yourself a more rewarding hobby. =]
  18. Good luck! As a bit of history, I started SL in 2006, but didn't settle on a 'look' until February 2008. It took a lot of work (nearly 3 months!) before I had my avatar as I'd invisioned. Since then I've made some alterations (and I don't know if I've worn the same outfit twice yet), but I view it as a constant cycle of change, as my vision of 'Freya' becomes clearer in my mind. Lemme see if I can Google hunt some pics This one was taken in maybe early-2009, by a smart little lady called Gita Rau. I wish I had more pics, but I'm at work right now IRL. >.> I'm making another big change soon, and I've got butterflies. =]
  19. Many people in SL have this issue. I'm afraid making a well-designed, super-cool looking toon (SL residents tend to call them 'avatars') can take a very long time, and require hunting through dozens of stores. Most people understand that it is a process, and many people go out of their way to help new users get their look right. Your walk will be caused by an AO (animation overrider, it replaces the SL standard avatar animations with custom ones). You may need a new one, or if you don't have one already, you may want to get one. =] Your glasses should detach by right-clicking them and hitting 'Detach' on the menu. I hope that helps with a couple of the niggles, and while it can take a while, try not to get too disheartened. The reason it's NOT built like the Sims is to allow for an incredible variety of looks, all made with objects made by other users. This Flickr set has some lovely pics of what other users have done, given ample time:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/second/clusters/life-sl-secondlife/
  20. That error message comes from rezzed objects that are trying to animate you but haven't properly asked for permission. If it's travelling around 'with you' as you TP, it's likely caused by an attachment. If you can find a way to the 'Script Error Window' on your viewer, do that. Without knowing which viewer you're using, can't help you there. However, I recommend you attach/detach your attachments one by one to see which one causes the error on attach. Good luck =]
  21. Have you tried relogging? Sometimes L$ balance doesn't load right away. Check your Transaction History via 'My Account' on www.secondlife.com (You could always try using 'Answers' to post questions, too.)
  22. Cinnamon Lohner wrote: But in general, you cannot sell RL items using lindens. This is covered in Section 5 of the Terms of Service. This isn't true. You can use L$ to pay for RL goods, providing the transaction takes place inside of SL. Section 5 of the ToS states that you're not able to claim compensation from LL for L$ lost, and that it isn't 'cashable money', just 'game tokens'. A far bigger worry (to my mind, anyway), would be people copypasting the link to the file to each other, and skipping on payment. But good luck, all the same.
  23. The history of your purchases can be found by logging into the Secondlife.com website, then selecting 'My Account' and 'Transaction History'. That should tell you who to contact regarding your issues. The link is: https://secondlife.com/my/account/transactions.php?lang=en-US
