It has occured to me that I have a tendancy to ramble on so if you really want to get to the point of this post, scroll down to the last paragraph. Possibly even the PS. *giggles*
One good thing about all the changes in Second Life is that it makes a fairly new faerie feel like a veteran with all that I've seen in 3 months! I can't imagine the differences those who've been around for years have seen!
Previously I had figured out how to attach multiple objects to the same point because a bow for your hair just ain't that cute if you can't wear the hair to go with it! Bald is beautiful but in a world where anything is possible, I'd like to reserve that option thank you very much. *adjusts hairdo'*
The old method required searching some kind of "multipleobjects" setting under the debug menu. Worked great! Enable it and attach away. Good times.
After my recent inventory fiasco I had uninstalled SL and downloaded the new viewer, 2.2. So far so good (I haven't even looked at the beta version...I'm all about the babysteps!) until I "detached all" and then realized that I wasn't able to wear all the gadgets I normally prowl around in! I can wear hair and other things in the same place but my HUDS just didn't want to co-exist. It was pick or choose time again - wtf? So I remembered my recent SL resuscitation and realized that my settings had probably (obviously) defaulted. Fine.
Only.....there was no more "multipleobjects" bug thingy!!!
Sure enough, google around, discover that this hidden little gem is gone for good. *pouts*
So, there is a lot of info out there on attaching multiple objects. Some videos seem waaaaaaaaay too complicated. As far as I can tell, all you have to do is right click the object from your inventory and instead of wear it, you "ADD" it.
Problem solved! :)

PS.....I've been playing around and it doesn't seem that bad. But if you find yourself having problems, try this "add" button!

Inventory Issues - Advice when panicking over inventory loss.
They're back. *triple checks*
Yes! They've come home! All of my lovely little goodies. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *happy dance*
*knocks on wood*
When the problem started I had posted for help but then deleted the post when I cleared my cache and things "appeared" to be ok. I should have known not to celebrate too soon.
At first it was 4 folders missing items. The only things that remained in these folders were items that were saved as part of an "outfit". I went to the secondlife wiki (again, it was full of outdated information! Grrrrr.) and tried all the tricks. From the majority of the responses in the forums a simple clearing of the cache normally works. Most of the time.
If, like me, you've tried everything and still nothing - TRY THIS!!!!!
Normally, you clear you cache as follows: Advanced > Clear Group Cache
THE ADDITIONAL STEP THAT HELPED ME WAS THIS: Me > Preferences > Privacy > Clear History
I am trying not to get too excited but for now, things seem to be ok on the homefront. Now I am going to research how to back up my inventory. I'm not sure if this is possible....but I'll find out!
What a day!

Inventory Issues - help?!
Ok. Something is definitely going on.
I thought all was well when I cleared my cache, relogged and waited 5 minutes for my inventory to load fully. I checked the one hair and one wing folder where I knew items were missing and they had returned! Thankfully.
I later discovered I have another hair/wing folder that is missing items! The only ones that remain are those that happen to be part of a saved "outfit".
To make matters worse - the hair that I recovered yesterday is now gone again!!!!
What is going on?!
Yesterday I deleted a good 1,000 items and now have a total of approx 8,000 items.
If anyone can give me any tips on how to back inventory up or make things reappear I'd be forever grateful!!!!!!

Fancy Feet
True to form, I spent all afternoon deciding which of the Stiletto Moody styles I wanted to buy - it's so hard to decide!
I had seen a picture of the "Katherine" in Midnight and even though there are so many other beautiful shoes, I ended up going with my first choice. After all that! And practical as I am, even at 70% off (see my previous post regarding the sale) I had to get them in black so they would match more outfits! *giggles*
Here they are! I also purchased the add-on with the tattoos, charm bracelets and polish colors which was also 70% off. Even with the discount, these are without a doubt the most expensive shoes I own. Proudly. *smiles*
One thing I love about spending some extra coin is the extra-good service you get for it! (Most of the time.) At Stiletto Moody you can have items "redelivered" if you've purchased them before and have lost them for whatever reason. This was not only a nice benefit but almost became a life-saver when I returned home to unpack and realized a good chunk of my inventory was gone! Panic ensued. After several relogs, a couple of restarts and a little bit of googling I tried clearing my group cache and thank Buddha - my stuff returned! Whew!
Each shoe also comes with a notecard that explains how to best wear your new shoes. They come in 3 sizes and you can resize the ankles and change the skintone to match your own. Awesome! They have some really decent default shades but the best part is that you can tweak them to match the exact color of your own skin!
There is something called an "RGB" and it's a number (ie...123-456-789) that is designated to a particular shade (pardon my amateur lingo!). I was a little frustrated that 99% of the information on secondlife.com pertains to the old viewers and the ability to find your RGB seems to have disappeared with Viewer 2.0. You used to be able to find this "show color under cursor" thingy but that seems to have gone away.
But you can still do it! Here's a tip - take a picture and use a personal program to get the color. If you're not sure exactly how to do that with what you've got, I found a sweet little FREE download that serves the purpose perfectly. Download http://www.linxexplorer.com/colorpicker.html and get your personal RGB so you can match your feet to your legs. What a concept! *laughs*
I probably won't be wearing these a lot but they are great party shoes! And on that note, I'm heading out for a night on the town - I feel like dancing!
