Process Credit - Second Life

How do I sell L$?

First of all you need to make sure that your Second Life account has a billing age, which is an age that starts from the moment that you first make a financial transaction.

So if you have bought L$ through www.secondlife.com, have a premium membership or placed a positive USD balance "credit", onto your Second Life account you should be able to sell your L$ and process them.

The process is relatively simple. Go to www.secondlife.com, and if you log in, then scroll half way down the page, you should see your L$ balance on the left hand side. Just below the L$ balance, you will see the options "Buy L$" and "Manage". If you click "Manage", you will see a collection of options drop down, with the title "Manage your L$".

You will see the option "Sell L$", if you click on this, you can see the opportunity to place the amount of L$ you wish to sell. You will see the fields "Estimated Value" and "Estimated Proceeds". The finance you will receive in USD is the "Estimated proceeds" value. Linden Lab take a small portion to help maintain the servers and technology that allows you to make the L$, that you're current selling, so don't worry.

Once you have sold the L$, if you go back to your "Account Summery", you will see half way down under the title Linden Dollar Summery, the field "US Dollar Balance", where you will see the USD that you have just been given.

Do you remember that section of links under "Manage" ? Well if you go back to them, you will see the option to "Process credit". If you click the link, it will take you to the appropriate page, with details and information of how to transfer the USD balance to a Paypal account.

At the bottom of the page you will see the "Paypal" written in green, in the table. If you click on it, you will be taken to the page where you can enter the Paypal address and the amount of finance you wish to send to the Paypal account you want.

Is it really that complicated? Yes.

Rock on peeps!

Remove Second Lifes Typing Animation

I've just started using Second Life, and one of the most annoying things about it, is the default typing animation, that everyone starts with, when inside of Second Life. The first question posed is, "How do I remove the typing animation in Second Life?" Well the answer's remarkably simple, because it's just a command inside of the Second Life viewer that's set to "true".

1) Open the Second Life viewer, and log into Second Life.
2) Once inside of Second Life, if you press Ctrl+Alt+D, you will get the Second Life advanced menu, appearing at the top of the Second Life viewer.

3) Click on the Advanced menu, and then select "Debug Settings" near the bottom.
4) You should now see a small box appear within the Second Life viewer, called Debug settings. If you click the drop down arrow in the first box, you will see a large collection of Second Lifes commands, but for now the only command we're interested in is "PlayTypingAnim".

5) Once you have located this command, you will see a breif description of what the command does, and the word "TRUE", which if you now change to "FALSE", and save. You will see that the typing animation in Second Life will now be stopped.

So jump back into Second Life, and have fun. My avatars name is "Nightfaller Aeon", for those who wish to know.
