2013 1stHELP: Open boxes, use the contents
Open boxes, use the contents
-
Getting things in boxes
Lots of things you get, whether you buy them or get them free, will come in boxes. Just like back home in the old world. And, just like that box you get from UPS, you have to unpack it. And then find the things you want to use

Don't wear the box
Getting things in boxes
Lots of things you get, whether you buy them or get them free, will come in boxes. Just like back home in the old world. And, just like that box you get from UPS, you have to unpack it. And then find the things you want to use
- Don't wear the box.
- Go to a place where you can rez things.*
- Rez the box: (Drag it from your inventory out onto the ground.)
- Right click on the box.
- Let the system copy the contents to your inventory
- V3.2 Inventory button
- The contents will probably be in a folder with the same name as the box.
- Start typing the folder name in the search bar.
- When you see the folder name, click the down arrow next to it.
- If you expect instructions, look for a note card.
- If you see something you want to wear, right click the name and select wear.
- If the item is an avatar, drag the entire folder onto your avatar.
- Thing you don't wear, you rez just as you did the box
- *You can rez things at a sandbox such as Hobo Island.

2013 HELP: V3.2 Be sure to see the BOPs in Second Life
V3.2 Be sure to see the BOPs in Second Life
-
BOP = Browser on Prim
-
-
Viewer 3.2 and other new viewers can show a web page on a prim. Such a prim looks like a poster or sign, but it is a live current web page. You can scroll it to show the rest of the page. You can watch a video (with sound) on it. You can also transfer the link to your main browser if you want to see it there or to make a bookmark for it.
-
People are using this technology to post schedules of events, videos, and calendars. Since the calendars are live web pages, they are always current. Furthermore, you can scroll the calendar to see future (and past) events.
-
But you won't see the web page unless you tell viewer to show media. And you may not want to do that without some tweaking. Here are some suggestions on how to tweak.

Is it a movie set trying to be an installation? Or an installation that became a movie set? Even the creator isn't quite sure.

In her own words:
"First there was the idea of a subway station, people passing by never seeing each other, never knowing who they were standing next to. Then the idea turned into an installation with spectral beings inhabiting The City. Are they memories? Chances missed? Future opportunities? That's up to the viewer to decide."
Start on the ground to embrace the complete experience. Teleport from the ticket booth and don't forget to pick up your special VIP badge. That gets you into backstage and you don't want to miss the sets.
Teleport to the subway station and make your way into the city. View the machinima film, "Lost in the City" in world or watch it on YouTube if you prefer -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29_MOZ0OuKo . Wander the city. Take some photos with the ghostly inhabitants.

2013 BIZ: GTF model of management again.
GTF model of management again
-
I thought we had finished with this problem:
-
-
Excerpts from a post on the forums
I've submitted a ticket and I've been transferred from Scout to Billing Support with a new Incident number but they weren't able to solve my issue.
-
The last person who responded to me informed that my case has been transferred to another department and I will be contacted within 5 working days. That was about 3 weeks ago.-
I submitted another ticket a week ago and I was replied by a Linden to refer to the person who last contacted me and she was referring to my first submitted ticket which by the way, was "Closed" by them. I replied to her that my case has been submitted to Billing Support with a new Incident number. She never replied back and my newly submitted case was erased from my history. Nice going...
- I have not been receiving my weekly stipends since my last submitted ticket. My premium account is still active for another 7 months or so...
-I've done almost everything I can... Revised my paypal, create an alt with the same payment, revised my account details...
-I did resubmitted another ticket today.
-Another problem is, in 6 days, if my issue is not solved... I will definitely have to abandon ALL my parcels that I've put up so much of money in it. I've already done half of it a few weeks ago because I couldn't generate enough lindens in my account to convert to USD. Now, I won't be able to generate any cash at all.
-So, now... to get my freak on... I've gone to another virtual world (no.. not *that* world) to start a new life... make them a little richer... using the same Credit Card that LL had rejected. At least I'm happy and content for the time being.. But I still want my stipends back in SL... and I still want my Billing Account solved... with the same and the only credit card I have.
-I'm wondering if this is happening with other people as well?http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/My-Affair-with-Billing-Support-Confession-Time/m-p/1270193#M40853
-
I have not seen many such problems since billing support opened. And all the previous problems were apparently resolved by a referral to Billing Support. I had thought that when Billing Support got a problem, it would take ownership of the problem and take the responsibility for solving it. That is, some live person would be responsible for solving the problem.

This is not good publicity for Second Life.
