Problem With Disappearing Art -

I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here with a a problem I've had - or am having. I'm very new to SL, and have just rented my first house, I've tried putting up two peices of art on this one wall and every time they disappear - LoL - where is it going? How do I find it again? I've put up art on another wall of the same house and it worked fine - is there any way to get this art back into my inventory again? Thanks in advance to anyone with some answers.

Is it possible that your parcel is full? Do you know if you still have prims available?

One of my friends had a picture on her wall disappear. We tried everything and assumed it was just one of those item eaten bugs. But then when she moved, she discovered it had been inside the wall-- where we didn't think to look. Make sure "select only my own objects" is active and try drawing a selection over the approximate area where you hung the picture and see if it doesn't show up as inside the wall. Once it's selected you can move it.

Other than that, you can look at your prim counts and try to determine if it's on the property somewhere. You can buy an object locating device. Or your landlord could return all your objects and you could start over. But try the wall thing first, that's the most likely thing to have happened I suspect.

I still have 25 prims to use and the art was only 1 prim so I don't think that should be a problem right?

Oh, that is a good point... They might be in your lost and found folder.

Shouldn't be... Were you wearing the right group tag? If not, the stuff might be in your lost and found.

"discovered it had been inside the wall" -- I wondered if that was possible... but didn't know how to locate it - THANKS so much for the tip!

I collect many artworks in sl and I think I have become soemthing of an expert in displaying them and finding them when they disapper. You can IM me in-world. I'll see what I can do. It may be that your art may not have been purchased correctly and has returned to the place you bought it. Or a mistake when you hung it. Tick the little box in the section that you fiddle around in to get it straight etc that says no one can mess with it.
IM me and we can sort it out. Jig.

Oh I read above an new answer - yeah hang a piece really carefully. so it doesnt gloop into the wall.

Look in you inventory for a folder called "Lost and Found." They may be in there.

Did you change your active group to the land group before putting the art out? It may have been auto-returned because it was not set to the right group.

Didn't Paul Simon have similar difficulties?

Pep (In the days before Garfunkel got sober, like his brother.)

Nice one, Pep.

Cheers!

Sometimes, a rolling sim can take art away also. And I have had art removed recently by Lindens who werent too keen on nipples (which is a little odd considering we all have a pair).

If it stays on one wall and not another, make sure your house is entirely on the land you rented.

Use the top menu "View > Property Lines" to make the parcel edges visible.

It is possible or an item such as your house to overhang a property line as long as the center point is on your land.
