Have transferred $25 credit onto my account how do I buy L$

Hello
Am new here and seen a house I'd like to rent. Have transferred $25 earlier in the day onto my credit but how do I convert that to L$ please?
Am loveing Second Life

wait a day or so, then go to the lindex and buy some lindens with the 25 dollars you deposited

you have to wait a day or so due to the way the levels work

look here

hopefully the link will work, if not then on your account info on the website go to lindex then your billing and trading limits

Also try having a word with your prospective landlord - the fact that you've posted here already should go a long way in convincing them to let you move on "on tick" as we quaint British people say (and with the cuuutest accent too )

Hi Rhaorth thats great thank you. So hopefully by Saturday when I'm back on again, it should be all ok?

Hi Incanus
He has actually been great and added me as a friend so that when I'm sorted I can just message him and he can finish setting me up

yep it should be

good luck with it, and it sounds like you got a nice landlord so that is good too

you are british?
ohhh I love the british accent, watched My Fair Lady yesterday, I so LOVE that movie!!
hehe

Cor blimey, guvnah!

Hackchually I'm English, of mainly Celtic stock (a little Italian in there for the devilishly handsome look) - though nothing wrong with being Scots or Welsh or indeed any other origin of course!


(Glad to hear it Caitlin - best of luck with your new home)

In the future, you don't actually have to increase your credit in order to buy Lindens...on the site, you can just go straight to the Linden Dollar Exchange link on the left side of your account page and buy in any amount you like. In-world, there's a small 'L$' symbol near your funds balance at the top right of the SL client which, when clicked, gives you the option to make a Linden purchase.

Thank you everyone so much for the advice, you're all really kind. Just come on quickly before going to work. Yes, I am English with some Irish thrown in there too. My Fair Lady is a great film

I tend put in credit in advance for tier,etc.
When I buy L$ it directly comes out of credit balance first before my credit card.

British accent Rha? Like the Hollywood one as exemplified by Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins?

Actually, rather than complaining or listing the number of different accents easily identifiable (by me anyway) in the British Isles maybe (hijacking the thread now the OP has had their question answered) I should be constructive and ask what the inhabitants of the USA (or foreigners generally) identify as *the* "British" accent (Alan Rickman?) and whether they can distinguish the different accents in voice?

Pep (I am Welsh. As far as I am concerned the British Isles are full of foreign invaders)

Taking a guess, Pep, I'd say most USAnians recognise two English accents. The educated Royal Shakespear Company tones of actors like Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellan and, indeed, Alan Rickman, and the 'mockney' of Jason Statham and his ilk.

Saying that, Alan Rickman's voice barely counts in the first category. The sneer & snarl he puts on his words in most roles lets his old 'Ammersmiff accent through.

((waits for the post asking we English correspondents how many American accents we can recognise))

I don't know about the English, but I can at least recognise the sound of Noo Yoik, Bahstahn, Sheekahgaw, Mee-nay-soh-tah, Texaaaaaaasssss and, like, the Ellay Valet.

Pep (Do Canadian, Mexican, Cuban and Colombian count?)

I can tell a couple of US regions but not many.

Just come back from Cuba - loved it! Was in Havana.

I believe that's true for market buys, but if you want to make a limit buy, then you have to increase your credit first. If you're going to be buying Lindens regularly, you're much better off learning to make limit buys.

Then there's Gary Oldman's accent, or I guess accents. I almost didn't recognize him in the Batman movies, so I assume he can do multiple British accents as well.

Hey everyone I managed to transfer the currency, thank you so much! Am getting my house later today weyhey!!!
Guess housewarming at mine then LOL!!

That's an interesting point, as they are, in the sense of 'from either the North or South American continent', American languages/accents.

It occasionally bugs me that there's no better was of describing something (or someone) originating from the USA as 'American'. That's why I occasionally use the slightly flippant 'USAnian' (as I did in my original post) or the considerably ruder 'Merkin'. I know of some alternatives - United States American, United Statesian, Yank - but they all vary between clumsiness and slang.

Oh, and congrats Caitlin.
