Please add to the list.

Q: "How do you get debug menu?"
A: alt ctrl shift d (note: this command is a toggle, you can just leave it on for ready use or turn it back off with the same command.)

Q: "How do you make it day?"
A: Enable debug menu (see above) and enter shortcut, ctrl shift n

Q: "I upgraded my account and I want "first land" but I dont see any available. How do I get first land?"

A: To find first land, use "find" at the bottom and look at "land sales". In top left of land sales there is a filter search for "first land", select that and enter to search. First land plots are scare these days, but more plots are routinely added, you have to be patient and keep checking if you dont see any available.

There is no deadline for claiming first land, the only requirement is that you can not have owned land previously. If you dont want to wait to get a "first land" plot, you are free to buy any land available at market prices, but once you own land, your no longer eligible to own a "first land" plot.

HI;

This is my first post in any SL forum. I saw this thread and wanted to say THANK YOU for SL Live Help!

I started SL in November, due to limited knowlege of computers, etc. I fumble daily, but I am trainable, hehe.

In my first month, some new friends and I were going to a dance of somekind. I wanted to look nice of course, so I, well I don't to this day know how it happened, but I put on a costume folder and became everything in it. Ended up a man Pirate type and Ugly at that! And I'm a female.

My 2 friends, also new, and I, were crying we were laughing so hard. Then it wasn't funny anymore, I had no idea how to really fix it, and was making things worse. My friends stayed with me for more than an hour, and I knew then, they were REALLY my friends. ha! We are now neighbors on a beautiful beach.

Anyway, no one walking by seemed to want to help an Ugly Pirate man, with a huge neck. I saw "live help". I had never used it, and considered it to be like a 911 emergency call. Well, this was a 911. A guy came and laughed real hard at the situation and it took another hour to fix me. I love him, whoever that was.

I help new people on a daily basis, and will always do so, due to LIVE HELP!

Hello;

I took down your name and I'll look for you in world. I can really try to help you and I have several lady friends who use my house to change clothes in. All are from different countries, so maybe we can find your language, which always helps. We love to help others, and share.

Franky Cosmos lives next door and he is like our big brother, helps us in any way we need and is a cheerful giver. He also speaks several languages, amazes me.

Feel free to IM me, and come over. Anyone else is also welcome, well as long as they are nice. LOL. I do have an attack dog, rofl.
