Ok, so I've been on SL since December 2007 on various avis and I've been building the majority of that time.
One of the most exhausting and annoying things is when you are all finished building and you get the "Link failed -- Unable to link any pieces - pieces are too far apart" message. Does anyone know what I can do besides to buy the L$750 SLinkator? All my prims are near each other and the ones that aren't are linked to ones that are.
Help!

The linking thing is good for causing headaches, small prims get less of a range than do larger ones. You can often work around the problem by sneaking an invisible prim into the middle of the set to make everything meet the rules. Making this more fun, the rules in 2007 weren't the same ones we have since Havok 4. The current ones are here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linkability_Rules

From: Mitzy Shino I went and had a read of that, and my head exploded! LOL.. I had the same reaction the first few times I read it. It's really a good article, though, and worth a read if you want to know the rules. Keep regrowing new heads and going back for a reread.

Apparently the server patch being rolled out today and tomorrow also addresses some cases where large build didn't link correctly. It looks like a bug introduced two server releases ago.
