What do YOU do in SL?

Well, yesterday I dressed up as a blue fairy...



and then worked on the new sky home I am building for myself...





BTW, LOVE this thread!

I go for a ride:

Check out a movie with a friend:

Or try to relax and hope the giant agave doesn't spring to life and eat me:

edit: oh, rats. I'd forgotten that I'd never learned how to make links live on this message board. Guess I'll go to Search and try to find out how to do it....

I putter.

I spend a lot of time getting ready to do something and then never quite doing it.

Sometimes I just walk the roads as a bizarre something or other - or swim them when I'm a coelacanth.

I go to deserted art galleries.

I fail to navigate the event search in such a way as to actually go to cool events like concerts, recitals, book readings, etc.

I "listen" to group chat.

I use SL and windLight as a primitive 3d sketch pad for 2d illustration ideas.

I explore other deserted places - like the fantastic series of science islands.

Someday I hope to create totally alien 3D environments for people to enjoy, but that's still down the road a ways, assuming SL still allows enough textures scripts and so forth to pull it off properly.

Trying this again (fouth time?) The little info I could find seemed to indicate that turning "Automatically parse links in text" OFF would result in live links. But since I've tried that, there must be some additional change I must make. So I'll have to try all the variants of turning various things on and off.

You just need to use the IMG tags rather than the url tags if you want the pictures to display. (The little button at the top that looks like the sun setting over a mountain.)

Or, use the img tags and add a question mark if you want them to work like links, but then not everyone can see them.

I spend a lot of time hanging around and building...


Play dress up and take a lot of wacky pictures...


Party waaaayy too much...


When it all gets to be too much, I take a vacation to Costa Rica...


And if I should get hungry, I drop in for a snack...

Somehow your picture disturbed me.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a firm believer that violence belongs in movies, games, and stories, instead of in real life. I have no problem playing violent video games or watching violent movies. But there was something about even the casual acqauintance these forums provide that had me thinking, "Oh nooo . .! Don't do that to the pretty avatar. "

Maybe I'm getting old.

Just in the interest of helping anyone who, like me, is trying to figure out the Live Links protocol of this particular message board:


Clicking the little Mountain icon BEFORE posting results in a huge post with a bunch of (what I guess is) html, and does not result in what you want.

I'll now try posting the post and THEN clicking the mountain icon---which I did before, but ALSO, this time, will remember to UNclick the "Automatically Parse" button:

Thanks, Nimue--I appreciate the help! (I just changed my preferences from the lowest editing level to the highest, and am now seeing that icon.)(I'll go back and delete the extraneous posts...)

((((I forget that uncheck-Automaticall-parse box step!! So you have to do that every time? Annoying....)))))

Oh, good grief, that didn't work, either.

There is clearly one sequence of button-clicking that DOES result in a post with live links.

And I am DETERMINED to find it!



[[[[[[THAT's what I do in SL.....learn stuff.]]]]]]]

I find the mountain picture thingy works about half the time for me and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why it does or does not. It does seem to work marginally better with Firefox for some reason.

*sigh* trying again (I really will go back and delete all the extraneous posts. I just want to get this accomplished.)


What do I do in SL, besides try to do things that should be simple (hey, I've learned to post live links on other message boards...it's just a sequence of steps. But for some reason this particular sequence of steps is...arcane.)

EDIT: How aggravating. I unchecked the Parse box, but it still Parsed.
EDIT2: Well, Nimue didn't say anything about the Parse box, so maybe it does need to stay checked. (I'd just found the 'uncheck it to make links live' advice from Search. Maybe that was incorrect information.) So...trying again.....
EDIT3: Okay, I left it unchecked. Pasted the post. Then clicked the Mountain icon.
And the result: it still didn't work. I'm trying to think what other combination of things I could try. But it's coming up on an hour since I started trying to learn this, so I guess I'll delete all but one of these posts and make a thread about it, to attract some new eyeballs.
EDIT4: I hadn't understood the advice about IMG but finally figured it out...huzzah!!

Good thing I've never encountered you there like that. I'd be an utter clumsy dweeb and forget how to type.

I always seem to forget to try things in Firefox---but that's a good idea.

EDIT---Also, many thanks to Nimue for her response, too. (I'd said so earlier but it got deleted in one of those posts of mine that I just cleared out of the thread. ^_^)

No problem. I deleted the part of my response that displayed your pictures so that your post could be the one to show them off.

*giggles* Well it would be your fault if you did. I went there after you suggested the place in the jungle thread

It's really beautiful there.

That shows attention to detail!

(Thanks again. I feel like a dope, taking nearly an hour to figure this out. I think I was trying to use knowledge from other message boards here, and would have been better off if I'd started from scratch. People are funny...)

Oh my... I do a lot of things. Here's three of 'em!

I role play at HardKnock Elementary an elsewhere


I mind my store in Bay City


I try an always make time for fun

I will take over making that statement now. My 2 year rez day is coming up next month,o far, still true for me............

I just go around trying to be fashionable...

Ticket Governor Linden for parking his shuttle in a no-shuttle zone:


Negotiate with giant rabbits:


Reflect on lost features:

I let them silly tall people know what's what! =^-^=



I enjoy a good streak or two... or three.... or.... \(^o^)/



Of course... Then I grow tall and I'm the epitome of maturity. (^_^)



And at the end of the day.. I jus' chill with mah dawgs! XD
