Thingee over my head... :-)

Now I am new to SL. But I have this odd thing going on with my avatar. For some reason I see this little white ball over my head. When I teleport to different areas within the game it goes away for a minute or so and then comes back.

Now without making a bunch of jokes, what the hell is it... :-)

Thanks,

Vidarr

And when you talk with voice chat, green waves will appear around the white dot indicating the volume that other people hear you at. It's useful for determining your own volume since you won't be able to hear it yourself. It's also called a "voice dot".

To turn it off, and use only typing (aka "text" chat), go to your Edit Menu, choose Preferences, then go to the Voice tab and uncheck the option there...

or keep it on. Your call. ;)

And welcome to Second Life!

That would be an odd place for someone to keep their brains...

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Whatever you do, do NOT stare into it for any extended period of time. Don't ask why...just trust me.
