Second Life is a visual, 3D world, so it's no surprise many Residents have expressed frustration with explaining things in words, and wish they could simply show what they're seeing. Especially for non-technical folks, terminology complications add to the layers of abstraction which make it difficult for Person B to understand the problem that Person A is telling them.
Torley setup this page to help "chop the slop" and get to the point! Whether you're asking for help on the forums, reporting a bug on jira.secondlife.com, or writing a help page on this wiki, visuals can enhance or replace words so you can communicate more effectively. Save time and trouble and learn to do the following:
Take a picture
... it'll last longer.
Seriously, in situations if you're seeing a Second Life visual glitch or want to show someone where to click, do this:
- In the Second Life Viewer, click the snapshot button.
- In the Snapshot Preview window, choose Save to my computer.
- Click the Save button.
If you need to show the user interface ("UI" for short, all the buttons and controls you can click on):
- In the Snapshot Preview window, click More. (The button's name changes to Less.)
- Under Capture, check Interface.
- Click the Refresh button (right above the Less button).
Tip: You can save a snapshot to your computer with a single keystroke, Ctrl+`. The first time you do this during a session, you'll be asked where you want to save the picture. Subsequent snapshots in the same session are saved in the same location with ascending numbers: Snapshot_001, Snapshot_002, Snapshot_003, and so on. |
Then, in your web browser, go to the page you want to insert the image in.
blogs.secondlife.com
- In a blog comment/forum post editor, click Insert Image.
- In the From your Computer tab, click Browse.
- Use the file browser to locate the image, and double-click it.
- Click Insert image. You should see it appear inline in your post, then you can keep editing.
Tip: You can also insert images from certain other domains. |
