No, sorry. I don't know what a "hair HUD" is or what it would do. This sub-forum is for those learning or wanting to learn LSL. If you want shopping advice, try the Wanted forum. You'll probably have to be more specific about what functionality you expect, and whether it needs to be compatible with a specific hair producer.

That does simplify things a little, provided you're getting 1000Mbps (AKA "Gigabit Ethernet") through the wire already. Obviously, this only refers to LAN speeds, not the speed you get across your DSL/cable/WAN connection. You'll probably only benefit from the gaming router's 'intelligence' - the onboard CPU and RAM (assuming this is better than your existing router). Plus the ability to load up custom firmware if your existing router doesn't have that feature.

If your existing router is not as good, then this will be better than your existing router. But it can't increase performance beyond the Client Network level - at some point you'll just find a new bottleneck and there's no guarantee that the bottleneck you currently have exists at the same level. If you're plugging a shiny new router into a toaster, the toaster is probably still going to struggle in Second Life. If you live at the south pole, the fastest router in the world won't improve the round-trip speed of your WAN link. Aside from the hype about processor speeds, 802.11ac 3x3 through 4 antennas is a solid offering, but it's hardly the top of the market. My guess would be that it'll be capable of high-speed WiFi for a couple of devices but not for a whole household. It'll certainly get a boost from the capability of over-powered OS firmware, too, but that is more difficult for the 'off the shelf' consumer to figure out. Anyone who uses corporate-level rack-based hardware (like myself) probably wouldn't see much benefit. TL;DR You'd have to test your network condition and PC capability to see if this would be cost-effective. If you have a solid level of skill you can probably get some good stuff out of this - but those are gains you might be able to get simply by spending more time optimising your PC and/or network.

You got griefed using typical 2006-2008 tools. It sounds like your gear (HUDs, etc) didn't handle the simulator slowdown very well, and probably stalled. NBD. Reset them as Qie advises and carry on with your life.

Deformers (the schoolyard prank you got hit with) aren't new, nor could they ever be considered a security risk. Kiddies can only deform you with your permission. Take a look on Marketplace for an "undeformer" and - as Gadget says - be more cautious with animation requests in future.

It's complicated, and I'm not an accountant or financial person but I'll try! Obviously I'm not involved with LL in any way, this is just my opinion as someone who helps manage a payment provider as part of my day job. Debit accounts have different legal requirements for processing and also need special procedures. Debit accounts are also charged different handling fees and are subject to VERY different fraud and security requirements (because almost anyone can get a debit account). In short, when you're used to processing CREDIT, debit accounts are a lot of hassle. An alternate theory is that LL really, really likes to maintain the complicated and secure cash-out process, and using a debit payment method might open them up to a higher degree of liability, fraud and/or individuals making a 'run' on their accounts. I don't know how likely this scenario is.

Cool! And you're right, image embedding is troublesome. I just wanted to make sure people could see your work, unfortunately I'm no-good at mesh.

Please excuse me while I fix your links. RPG Themed Crystal Necklace Pendant Here is a game screen of the objects weights Here is a screen of the older model... Sorry, but I can't comment on the content of your post. Good luck!

Well, those are lies. The Personal Injury complex and false PPI claims both waste time and money. Risks still exist, It's just that they fall elsewhere in the economy. And yes, I know that post was meant to be a joke. Being taken seriously is a risk I see you taking often.

Nothing is without risk, especially when it comes to social presentation. Individual land owners can ban you for any reason, or no reason at all. I'd guess (and only guess - I have no authority) that it's highly unlikely that LL themselves would ban you from the entire platform of SL just for wearing an avatar that breaks Intellectual Property rights (which is the assumption I'm making when you say "a company outside Linden Labs"), but that it is probably a not-smart thing to do. You're free to do it, but you'd be sponsoring people who don't care about IP rights, and are very unlikely to care about your rights as a consumer, either. Remember that LL provides no protection for purchases - no refunds, no investigations. If someone's selling someone elses work, they orobably won't be invested in making it work well or providing support - it may be broken or be sold without scripts. If it's mesh, it might be poorly rigged, or not rigged at all (essentially it'd work like an action figure, not an avatar). Few users in SL have sympathy for people who tried to take advantage of the system.

Do you think this glitch is temporary and they will be back or does this mean they've been eaten forever? You may see the missing posts again. Sometimes the feed will let you load more, sometimes less. But this issue has been around since the feed was released, it's never been reliable. Good luck!

Hi LadyEllen! I do see content on your feed, unlike Pleasureboi. About 15 days worth. The feed isn't a storage medium - it's poorly designed and the network it sits on top of is lousy. Really it's only any good for showing what you've been up to very recently because it will always error out sooner or later. I'd recommend keeping your snapshots somewhere else if you want a way to show them off forever.

Oooo, I know this one! It's not a game? I mean maybe it is, maybe some people treat it that way. For me though, I "play" Second Life for the same reason that I play real life - the alternative is dull. Second Life is where a lot of my friends are, so I keep logging in. It's a good example of a place where I can create the things I want, with the level of complexity I want. I've very little attachment to the platform, it's the people. If Second Life were a game - if I could treat it like a game - I wouldn't still be here. Hope this helps!

Yikes. You should follow the advice for Compromised Accounts and also Contact Billing. It may also be smart to get in touch with any payment insurance providers (e.g. for a credit card) you're with. Good luck!

I always recommend Nalate's comprehensive guide to Troubleshooting SL Connections. Some ideas:- Can your friend get to www.secondlife.com in their browser, and successfully log in? How about my.secondlife.com? You could ask him to take a look at his Hosts file (provided he doesn't operate a webserver it may be safe to post that here). Or take a look at any web filtering he uses (sometimes Anti-Virus/Firewall products can bundle this).

The stream is probably offline. Streamed media has nothing to do with Second Life, the viewer just forms the connection to the correct server. If the streaming server is offline, you won't hear anything. Ask or contact the stream operator, or test the Stream URL in your browser directly.

Check Youtube's rules. My expectation would be that, yes, re-streaming pay-per-view movies to an online audience would be outside of the licence terms. Also, this thread is non-authoritive, it's not a replacement for your own research.

Second Life is an online virtual world. Everything that happens has to be fired across the Internet from Linden Lab to you. Delays in this transmission are referred to under the very wide topic of 'lag' and it's caused by poor performance of your Internet connection. Improve the performance of your Internet connection:- Try a wired connection to your router Avoid high-bandwidth applications (e.g. Torrents) while using Second Life Avoid connection sharing while using Second Life Make sure nothing's getting held up at your Firewall or router Keep your network clean and healthy

The short answer here is that I agree with Pleasureboi. "Copybot" is just a script that copies the shape and appearance of objects. It's perfectly allowed to use scripts in this way - it's also allowed to copy your own items using exactly this script. What's not allowed is Intellectual Property theft, via Copybot or any other means. Stealing other peoples' work - regardless of the method. Whether using Copybot, Coopybat or Copyshoppycopbot or any other script or method, theft is bad and if you're caught, you'll suffer consequences.

 If I'm reading this right, your crusade is to troll Adult places and report folks who don't pay attention to the fact that you're wearing unsuitable and inappropriate avatars? What a weird and risky way to spend your time. And then to advertise it - even recommend that others take risks doing the same. Yikes.

Ask whoever produces it. Answers doesn't provide support for random creators products, and most businessfolk have their preferred support methods.

Yes, to the extent that avatars can get pregnant (which, really, is no - but you can play pretend, right? that's what everyone means by pregnant, right? They don't want the messy squeezy stuff, just the look of it) Just use the Marketplace to look for... like... pregnant belly attachments... or... whatever other aesthetic look you're going for. This isn't my area.

Good morning. And good luck. <3

It's difficult to read your question due to a poor quality translation. You probably belong to a group with a liability attached - it's asking its members to pay for group costs. Your clue is the name of the group owner that's mentioned in your post. Use this to find which group is reducing your L$, and leave that group.
