I recently sent 3 notices in group. I got the popup in my notices as I sent them. In checking I found that several others got 1 or none of the notices. All had their RECEIVE GROUP NOTICES checked ( I asked). Is there some issue what is going on with Firestorm and SL Viewer and group notices? (I checked with a guy that has 2 bots using Radegast, the text viewer, and he got them on both bots) thanks, Navy 1 Coba

Thanks for the comments and clarifications. It is kinda what I suspected. As to A) B) or C) or D) 🤪, not sure. we will ever know but this was a MAJOR part of Second LIfe with several thousand of people involved in the industry. Now they have lost everything, some more than others. Once again, thanks for the information and the knowledge Navy1 Coba

I know little or nothing about scripts, but recently a product brand that contained internal scripting and was controlled by an "outside server" stopped working. The owner said the people that hosted his workings closed and he was unable to find a new host. Make me smarter. Why cant he just move the scripting server files to a new outside host? If he could, would that just involve an update to the product in SL and all start again or is it much more complicated and aka impossible. Thanks for all your brain power, Navy1 Coba

thanks for all the suggestions. Am kinda convinced it is inherent within the linden system since I have tried shutting this and that off, even using 2 different viewer on my Navy1 alt and mine and it still shows. I can shut it off of my viewer by setting particles to 0 but that doesn't stop other viewer from seeing the swirl. As a club owner I always inspect items I see that I might want in my place for owners, tracking to MP or their store. A few times I have been accused of trying to somehow damage or steal the item, so if it was a simple setting, I wanted to avoid the misconception. BTW, setting particles to 0 also blocks all particles in your viewer only (wink)

Hope I am not in the wrong section but I seem to get a quick particle swirl every time I go right click anything to get the pie menu. It's not really an issue for my building but more for looking at random things for who created it, etc just as a privacy issue. If I right click anything to rez the pie menu, I get a particle swirl. I have turned off in EXTRA the "create particle when scripts communicate, but doesn't help. Any ideas?

Thanks Rowan, you win the question of the day award (trophy is in the mail). The club was located ABOVE that 50-100m range that is controlled by the ABOUT LAND group settings and thus not restricted and limited to use of a security orb which rudely bounded people not wearing their tag. Since it is a mainland club, even though they "own" the land, they CAN NOT change the estate/regional settings to BLOCK PARCEL FLY OVER, they moved the club to ground level and thus were able to restrict access by the ABOUT LAND controls and restrict access to "group only" without everyone wearing the tag (group charged a modest fee that was being ignored and people dropping in without paying). I was privately told that Linden did this so aircraft could fly without bumping into ban lines everywhere and also rental sky boxes could have their own security controls set (orb) without being affected by a home or business at ground level.

apparently from my testing, please correct me, but land group restrictions only work from 145m to ground, so if the club is at say 500m, the settings on the ground do not restrict it. I am only guessing but this allows the land owner to set security for his home while not affecting say a rental sky box. There are probably other reasons but that is the only one coming to mind. Once above that 145m, GROUP ONLY ACCESS would have to be controlled by a security orb and as I understand them, one would HAVE to wear the GROUP TAG assigned to the orb if it was set to group only access. The issue is the person wants to have a club above ground and not restrict the visitors to wear a specific group tag, but still manage entry without a white list of members.

Asking for a friend, so here goes: A club on a parcel sectioned off of a sim, full permission for that parcel for whatever does NOT affect the rest of the sim in land rights. If they buy a security orb that restricts access to that parcel, they can set it to GROUP ONLY and require people entering to be a MEMBER of their group (eg: MY CLUB). They were TOLD (or think) everyone entering needs to wear an ACTIVE TAG (eg: MY CLUB) to not get booted. I had always thought a security orb set to YOUR group ejected people regardless of the tag they wore, but based on IF they were listed in the group.

It seems the key is logging in, not actually posting. That was my error. RL things came up and was away from the SL/FB one and it got zapped. It was only for fun as all of SL is, but still a loss, had some cute things in there and people seemed to like it. Sad to see many of the social platforms fail over the years since most were just that, social sites that allowed contact. Without my RL Facebook account I would lose contact with many I don't otherwise interact with on a normal day.

It seems I will be doing the same. I see no sense in promoting something that doesn't want me. Issue is, since i can't log in, I may be in virtual limbo, destined to live through eternity, haha

Seems then, it was just my time as target in the shooting gallery. I think my error was not logging in. Thanks for the info. I probably won't create a page from my RL Facebook account simply because I would get so much grief for owning a virtual strip club, ROFL

it wasn't a report, it was simply a lack of use of the SL/FB account. If you don't log into FB and read their ads, even if you don't post (had lunch with Bill and Tom at Wendys) they suspect you. You should read the list of things they would like to ID who you are. LL is not much different. I had an alt that the account was put on hold until I submitted real name, DOB, past addresses, any other alts connected, etc. On my RL facebook account they are constantly asking, was this you, when I use my cell phone or laptop instead of the main computer. I tend to think Skell is correct that its all about the money. If they can't actively track you, they can't sell your virtual body to advertisers. Maybe LL should jump on this, have FB/SL accounts and flood them with premium membership, MarketPlace ads and such, ROFL.

It seems we may have reached that point, Skell. With all the deception in the news about Facebook, am sure they are coming under fire for accounts such as this. In the end you are perfectly correct, its all about the money that can be generated and Lindens don't spend well at the local 7-11. LL is not without its issues in past years, such as the moving of all adult business (whatever that might be) to a separate island and then the gaming fiasco a few year ago. As a RL resident of one of the Evil 8 states, my avatar isn't even allowed on a gaming sim. I am sounding a bit like "remember the good ole days".

It's a discussion and anyone that has an avatar profile on Facebook is going to sooner or later run headlong into this. Even Second Life has a Facebook page, I am assuming they pay for a business account, but still, with over 300,000 likes on their page a tremendous amount are avatar based Facebook accounts

Years ago, I started a Facebook account for my avatar. I found a LOT of people did that. The Second Life Facebook page has over 300k likes, so we are not a small part of Facebook. As Second Life is our "second life" many of us don't really want to mix our first life Facebook account. For years everything went along smooth until about November of this year. I kept getting notices "we haven't seen you in a while" and the usual list of friend requests, etc. So in I log, hmm wait, you haven't logged in for a while, in order to resume you need 3 friends to post a 4 digit code, please pick from these photos. So I knew at least 3 personally since I have been on Second Life coming on 10yrs, contacted them and 2 got the codes, 1 got a note that she was not a trusted friend. I hadn't established any such list. So off I go winding through the maze of facebook help. Finally I find a send us this or that, and get a semi live person. Send them proof of who I am, back and forth, even a photo of my avatar pointing at the "like us on Facebook" sign at the club. Sorry, Navy1 seems to need a Utility bill, Polling card (yeah right!) or social welfare card. (Here I might insert the obvious joke I looked on MarketPlace and could find none of these). I am kind of at a loss. My Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Strippers-nite-club-and-mall-431936040171338/ has a modest following over the years and I'd like to continue but it seems Facebook doesn't want us. If any of you have any suggestions besides the "quit Facebook" comments, let me know
