Just out of curiosity, when you click on pose/sit balls, how many clicks does it take in particular with items which pay you out $L. I am wondering how hard it is to get on your camping chair or model pose stands, or any item as such which pays you to stay there. Are there times you simply give up and move on? I am trying to figure if this is worth having if it is very hard for in particular for newbie's to get on to make a bit of L?

Many blessings in RL & SL as well!

When I was newer it was hard for me to click because one the lag, two I didn't understand or always know how to control the mouse to select dancing stands. But sitting seem to be easier. I went to some island earlier still had some issues few months ago with dancing pads sat on the pad but wouldn't dance then few mins later another dancer pop in was dancing.
Think the issue is in camping place often the lag is so bad the avatars go invisible and the dancing pads tend to be the worse. It isn't about the clicking usually that causes problems once you figure out how to select the pad or chair its the lag and my computer not showing acturate information of what is happening on my video card that causes problems
These days when I new few L for art projects only places that seem to have camping don't pay or hired all bots.

pay pose/work stands/dance balls

O.K in particular this is a pose stand like for models for clothing, which pays you to stand/sit on it. Yes right click on the ball but no pie, it simply highlights anything around the ball. Now this goes through spells and the last couple of days it is much worse. This happens on dance floors sometimes as well. It is not the server here, the phone company has run new lines even coming by in my home once a week now to monitor server issues from this end, even going in world with me to monitor such as I am in world. I pay extra for this, as well for all wires maintained by them and sl kept throwing it back as a server issue, so they, the phone company/server is now doing this to be certain it is not. The pc was checked by a professional pc shop to make sure all specs meet for the game. I have asked a few others about this particular stand and they say they have the same issues, they all live different parts of the world, different servers and pcs, but have the same not being able to get the ball to right click and get a pie menu. It just picks up anything else around the ball, even though you are clicking the ball, the floor the walls, items for sale, the ceiling,, no matter how you turn about to get the ball at a different angle. So I don't think it is a issue on this end or others would not be experiencing the same. My thought was to ad something like this to my business but if it is so hard to work for new ones needing such for a L or two, it's not worth installing. I am just wondering if it is this stand or this hard grid wide.

Hello Trella, I've been finding some poses are a little iffy just lately from a moderate distance but usually are ok if I zoom in really, really close.
I think I spend more time zooming in-world than walking. ;)
