Tip #8 You don’t have to lose your Gag Circle settings when upgrading

You’ve worked hard to chalk up the hours to get up to the next Gag Circle. Not easy considering the crashes that SL dishes out these days. Anyway, you are afraid that if you upgrade your gag to the latest version (or to a Release Candidate), you’ll lose all that hard work.

No you won’t lose your Circle – you can transfer the stats over to your new HUD. Just do this:

1) Get a new gag HUD at the Update Switch at the Warehouse (either coz your gag is outdated, or SL borked your current gag and you wanna start afresh)

2) Setup the new gag.

3) Wait a while for the “transfer” menu to pop up, or you can call it yourself by hitting “transfer…” on the HUD menu. Then follow instructions. Basically you will be asked to rez the old HUD at some point.

Well, in fact, other stats like your gag position, rotation, size and even your owner list will be transferred over. So you don’t have to adjust your gag all over again.

Only thing to watch out for is that you need to give your owners the new key – each gag setup generates its own encoded key.

Have fun!

Need just 2 minutes of your time to vote again

If you’ve voted for JIRA #7034 (or not), I need your help to vote again.

The Lindens have closed #7034, explaining that calling external browsers instead of internal browsers is a *feature* not a bug, because it breaks some people’s content. This feature is going three steps backwards.

We need to vote for a feature change. We don’t want to be forced to desktop browser by default every time we click the HUD to get online help!

Vote here (you need to log in first, on the left sidebar, then you will see the vote link). Be part of the change.

Luv, Lulu.

Please Vote! Second Life Viewer 1.20 RC6 bug

Currently, with SL Viewer v1.19, if you set Preferences to open web pages with internal browser, it will… surprise, surprise… actually open with the internal browser!

But with 1.20, it opens with the external browser! This has been reported since RC5, but yet the Lindens say that 1.20 RC6 will probably be the last iteration before general release. Not good.

Why is it important? Because many of the help and information pages in the Lulu Signature line are connected live to the internet, and frankly, it’s more than a little annoying to be thrown out of Second Life into Firefox / Explorer / Safari / Opera on the desktop.

Please vote to fix this… here. You will need to login on the left hand side (don’t worry, this is an official Linden website), and then you can vote.

Luv, Lulu
