New Features:
Adult Content:
Are you uncertain what Adult Content changes have been put into place? Are you wondering how you may or may not be impacted? For answers to these questions and more, please check out these links:
What You'll Notice First - UI Changes
UI Changes in Support of Adult Content:
My Land Window Changes
- The My Land window now shows a parcel's Type: (Homestead, etc) of each parent region.
- The window was also widened and the columns re-arranged.
About Land Window Changes
- The About Land > General tab now shows a parcel's Type: (Homestead, etc) and Rating: (PG, Mature, Adult) of its parent region.
- The About Land > Convenant tab now shows a parcel's Type: (Homestead, etc) and Rating: (PG, Mature, Adult) of its parent region, and the layout has been re-arranged.
- On the About Land > Options tab, the checkbox for PG/Mature content/Adult content will be greyed-out/disabled when it cannot be changed based on the rating of the estate/region.
- NOTE: After a 60-day transition period, the Options tab will no longer display the 'Adult' dropdown choice on Show Place in Search under: [possible categories]
- The About Land > Media tab options available under the Sound: and Voice: sections have changed.
- On the About Land > Media tab, the options available under the Voice: section will be greyed-out/disabled when already set at the Estate level.
Buy Land Window Changes
- The Buy Land and Buy Land for Group windows now show a parcel's Type: (Homestead, etc) of its parent region.
- The Buy Land window will show an error message when a PG resident attempts to buy land with a higher rating (Mature or Adult) than the level indicated in their Maturity preference.
Group Info Window Changes
- The Group Info window > Land & L$ tab displays a new column in the list of land parcels which shows the Type (Homestead, etc) of the region each parcel is in.
- The Area column now displays "XXXX" instead of "0 / XXXX".
- The columns have been re-arranged.
Menu Bar Changes
- The parcel name displayed in the menu bar [eg. "LindenWorld B 132,123,24 (Mature) - Main Stage"] will now indicate "(Adult)" as well as "(Mature)" and "(PG)"
Edit > Preferences Changes
- A new option on the Preferences > General tab allows you to choose your desired maturity rating (I want to access content rated:)
- This option is greyed-out/disabled before you log in, since it must be read from the database.
Profile Changes
- On the Profile > Classified tab, creating a new Classified now generates it for the parcel location you are standing at the moment.
- If on a PG region, the classified can only be rated as PG Content.
- If on an Adult region, the classified can only be rated as Adult Content.
- If on a Mature region, you can specify the new classified as "PG Content" or "Mature Content".
- If you try to create a PG or Mature classified but in the description utilize keywords which are deemed to be "adult terms", an error message will indicate which of those terms may not be utilized for this Classified, and will link to the Knowledge Base for further info.
Region/Estate Changes
- The Region/Estate > Region tab allows you to set or change the region's Rating: (PG, Mature, Adult). NOTE: This is the only location in the UI where a region's maturity Rating can be set.
- The Region/Estate > Region tab shows the region's Type: (Homestead, etc).
- The Region/Estate > Convenant tab now shows (read-only) the region's Type: (Homestead, etc) and Rating: (PG, Mature, etc). The layout has also been re-arranged.
Search Improvements
- Many controls on the Search tabs have been re-organized.
- Search is now responsive to a) your maximum maturity access and b) what you choose to see, as set in Preferences:
- Search will show an error message if you do not have Adult access but attempt to query on certain "adult terms"
- The Search > All, Search > Classified, Search > Events, and Search > Groups tabs now include checkboxes to indicate whether you want to include [X] PG content, [X] Mature content, [X] Adult content in your search.
- If you are a resident rated Mature, the [X] Adult content will be greyed-out/disabled.
- If you are a resident rated PG, the Mature content and Adult content checkboxes will not appear and the tab will simply indicate that PG Content is being displayed.
- If you are a resident cleared for Adult content but have selected a lower rating in Preferences, then any checkboxes above that level will be greyed-out/disabled.
- The Search > Land Sales tab now includes checkboxes to indicate whether you want to include [X] PG content, [X] Mature content, [X] Adult content in your search. The panel displaying your search result details will also indicate whether the Land Sale's Location is on a region which is (PG), (Mature) or (Adult).
- If you are a resident rated Mature, the [X] Adult content will be greyed-out/disabled.
- If you are a resident rated PG, the Mature content and Adult content checkboxes will not appear and the tab will simply indicate that PG Content is being displayed.
- If you are a resident cleared for Adult content but have chosen a lower rating in Preferences, then any checkboxes above that level will be greyed-out/disabled.
- The Search > Places tab now includes checkboxes to indicate whether you want to include [X] PG content, [X] Mature content, [X] Adult content in your search. The panel for your search result details will also indicate whether the Place's Location is on a region which is (PG), (Mature) or (Adult).
- The ability to choose "Adult" as a category of Places to search for will disappear after the 60-day transition period. Any places still categoried as "Adult" at that time will then be migrated by Linden Lab to the "Other" category.
World Map Changes
- A new icon has been added to the World Map Legend to show Adult events, as distinct from PG and Mature events
- If you are a resident rated Mature, the Adult events icon will be greyed-out/disabled.
- If you are a resident rated PG, you will see neither the Adult nor the Mature event icons.
- The World Map now shows land for sale (yellow) only when the land is rated at or below your Maturity rating.
- In other words, only Adult residents will see yellow indicators on the World Map for Adult-rated Land for Sale.
- The tooltip over any region on the map will show the rating of that region, appended as "...(PG)", "...(Mature)", "...(Adult)"
Teleport Changes
- A Teleport error message will appear if you attempt to teleport to a region with a higher maturity rating than your rating.
- If you are not cleared for the higher (e.g. Adult) access, the message will direct you to the Knowledge Base for more information.
- If you simply have set your personal maturity Rating too low (in Preferences), the error message will include a button that will allow you the option to immediately raise your maturity Rating preference.
Region Crossing Changes
- Attempting to walk/fly into a region which has a higher maturity rating than your rating will result in an error message.
- If you are not cleared for the higher (e.g. Adult) access, the message will direct you to the Knowledge Base for more information.
- If you simply have set your personal Rating preference too low (in Preferences), the error message will include a button that will allow you the option to immediately raise your maturity Rating preference.
- You can choose to suppress this error message in the future, but you will always see a blue notification "tip" appear briefly & fadeout as you fail to walk/fly into a prohibited region, to make sure you understand why you were denied access.
Claiming Land Changes
- Attempting to claim a parcel from a region which has a higher maturity rating than your rating will result in an error message.
- If you are not cleared for the higher (e.g. Adult) access, the message will direct you to the Knowledge Base for more information.
- If you simply have set your personal maturity Rating too low (in Preferences), the error message will include a button that will allow you the option to immediately raise your maturity Rating preference.
Additional UI Changes:
- When you right-click on another avatar, the Pie menu now includes an option to Report... abuse from that resident. The Abuse Reporter will then come up pre-populated with that Resident's name.
Camera Changes
- Edit > Preferences now includes a new camera option: Camera View Angle
- The camera option Camera Follow Distance now affects the camera more comprehensively/intuitively; setting the persistent distance the camera follows behind your avatar at its default position when you press ESC to reset.
- The option Camera Transition Time has been removed from Edit > Preferences > Input & Camera.
- The option Camera Smoothing has been removed from Edit > Preferences > Input & Camera.

- The Edit > Preferences > General > Show Search panel in overlay bar option has been moved to Advanced > UI as a menu item.

- The Edit > Preferences > Communication > Include IM in Chat History option now more comprehensively suppresses IM text when turned off, and will no longer display the text of incoming IMs in either Local Chat or the Chat Console.
- Unused options from the right-click menu at the top level of My Inventory have been removed.
- The minor cardinal directions (NW, NE, SW, SE) on the Mini-map will no longer display when the mini-map is sized to a very small window.
- The People Chooser has been renamed "Resident Chooser" for consistency. It has also been remodeled and organized into three tabs - each representing a different methods for choosing a resident:
- Search for a resident by name (no change)
- Choose a resident from your list of Calling Cards (no change)
- A new tab that will automatically list those residents who are Near Me. The scan range can be set to any distance from 5-40 meters from your avatar.
