Clearly I can't pick it up, I've been trying for an hour. I know it's a particle problem but I can't even figure out how to ask to fix it. Help (sigh) It looks ridiculous and the rest is coming along nicely...

Try doing Ctrl-Alt-T to make any transparent prims visible. That will make a mess of particles glow red and that will be annoying, but it may also reveal the presence of the invisible prim that the particles are coming from. If so, you can grab it and your problem is solved.

If there's no obvious prim, then the particle script is probably in one the prims in your floor itself. In that case, get hold of a Scrubber script (there are many available free in SL) and drop it it the suspect prim. That ought to clear it of any scripts, partcile effects, and so forth. Kinda like an exorcism.;)

If the mass of red particles is too much when you've done Ctrl-Alt-T, turning off particles (either by turning thre slider down to 0 in graphics preferences or Ctrl-Alt-Shift-=) might help find the emitter.

Turning on beacons for particles might help. View, check Particle Sources, then View, Beacons Always On.

Also SL-911.

The easiest way, if you can't see the prim creating the particles, is to rez a prim, rightclick to edit the new prim, hold down shift and draw a box to select the new prim as well as the offending particle prim. Click delete and Poof! No more fire.
