After creating a Second Life account, can you access the forums here before you log into the virtual world?
I'm trying to find out if I can tell prospective users to check out the forums if they want to before they even enter the virtual world.

Do you have to log in to SL before using the forums? |

I'm trying to find out if I can tell prospective users to check out the forums if they want to before they even enter the virtual world. You need an SL account, of course, but I don't think you have to actually log into SL via the viewer first. You just need to log on through the web page. I suppose if it makes them, then there's no reason why they couldn't just log onto OI (or HI - whatever we have now) and then log right off and come to the forums. _____________________

According to the KB, you have to log in-world once before you can access the forums. Of course, it still says you have to have payment info on file too...

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. |

i remember when i was first learning about SL just over a year ago (i have an older alt
 ) i thought the forums would be a perfect place to learn about SL and i ran into this very problem. I had an account, did this, and that, and the other but was unable to view the forums for the simple fact that i had not actually stepped a foot inworld yet. Send your friends to www.mermaiddiaries.com. thats where i send most people these days who want to learn a little more about second life. -Crunch _____________________

So your final Nimbus Score is 8.15, a quite remarkable achievement for a biped. Congratulations Crunch, you should be very proud.  |

yes, you can log in to the forums and never ever access the inworld client.

I'd suggest that people just go straight into SL and skip the forums until they know enough about SL to start asking questions about it.

yes, you can log in to the forums and never ever access the inworld client. We've had a few people do that, apparently. It results in questions like, "Hey, can someone tell me all about Second Life?" You have to have at least a little time in world to 1) understand what the heck everyone is talking about here, and 2) know what questions to ask. _____________________
