'''Welcome to the Buddy Center!''' 


Welcome to the Buddy Center. 


*The Buddy Pagers or wall of boxes are connected to each Mentor Buddy's profile.  This enables each Buddy to customize their own profile picture & thus customize their Buddy Pager. Your profile picture is what is displayed on your Buddy Pager when you are logged into Second Life.  So if you would like your name to be visible then you can add your name on your profile pic.  If you are offline your Buddy Pager will be black. 
In the {{simpleslurl|SLVEC|93|49|22|South of SLVEC}}, you'll find two huge 'Find a Buddy!' huts filled with Mentor Buddy pagers. <br>(You can't miss the fireplace!)
*the east hut contains pagers for Buddies whose first name begins with '''A''' through '''L'''
*the west hut contains pagers for Buddies whose first name begins with '''M''' through '''Z'''


*If you change your profile picture please note that the pagers on SLVEC update once a day. Probably at 0:00 SLT. 
Information about the panels can be found at the following sites:


*If you update your profile pic and by the next day your Buddy Pager does not update please check the following:
