We've spent years dispensing advice and help here. After today, it'll all be archived, and we can't answer your questions directly. But...
1. Right click is your friend.
2. Clear cache (Edit/Preferences/Network tab/Clear Cache) and re-log.
3. Don't set your land for sale to "Anyone" for $L1. Name your buyer.
4. Research your potential landlord before renting on a private estate.
5. Second Life is a world, not a game.
6. Give LL your credit card number or PayPal account, or use the Age Verification system if you want to access adult content.
7. There is no real privacy in Second Life. Don't worry about it.
8. Be nice to the people you meet. Both good and bad deeds will return to you tenfold.
9. Take a break now and then and pay a little attention to your Real Life.
10. Don't sweat the small stuff. And in the end, it's all small stuff.

11. Respect the hedgehog!! (and cabbit)
edit: and, apologies to Lindal, most of the posts below this one should be taken with a grain of salt. Lindal posted good stuff, many others are being goofy. Not *THIS* post, mind you, but the ones below it. _____________________

12. Don't waste your time camping. Don't feel like you have to find a job right away. Just buy some L$ and enjoy your SL. Later on if you find something you like doing that you can make money at, then it's gravy.

13. Don't beg. No one likes beggars.
14. Be patient with vendors and send them note card detailing your problem along with the transacation history. Above all be respectful, they are people too and sometimes rl does not allow for an immediate response. |

19. Live music. Go check it out.
21. Don't ban everyone from your land just because you can. 21. Megaprim screens look stupid, even if you put a real nice landscape texture on them. 22. Say "no" to vampire bites... but if you do get bit... let it go. They don't really own your soul. 23. No talking uterus. |

24. remember, you get what you give. karma is a bitch. I thought Karma was a bunny. You're both wrong, Karma's a chameleon. Five chameleons as far as I recall. Oh, I forgot: 32. Don't offer 'friendship' just because someone speaks to you. |

33.
Computers for SL: You can maximize the life of an older pc by upgrading the video graphics card and adding more ram. When buying a new pc, buy as much pc as you can afford with emphasis on a good video graphics card and ram. Laptops may seem more convenient but have a shorter life span due to limited upgrade capabilities. here is a link to the system requirements for running Second Life: https://secure-web31.secondlife.com/my/support/system-requirements/ _____________________
