When terraforming land, we currently have a squared target area and at nearly 20 years on the grid, it's the only one I recall having. Is it possible to have a circular option for softer land sculpting in addition to the harder lines we have now?

I have been to a few music venues that use dance-pads and the animations are just very smooth and I really, really would like to know a way to identify where to purchase them. The Animation Explorer does show the animation and where it comes from, but it does not give any information that would help seeking its real origin. I suspect that it may be to avoid IP infringements somehow. However, I initially think that if just creator name and animation name and/or description were available, it could help those who want to get the product without really putting the creator's work in jeopardy.

Add a button that links to the user's Marketplace wish list to their profile. That way anyone looking at the profile can easily click through to the wish list without having to construct the url themselves. This would benefits users (easier to gift items), merchants (more sales) and LL (more mp commission income). The less hurdles between a customer and a purchase the better.

In-world movement is typically controlled using the arrow keys or "WASD" keys on the keyboard. I suggest a new method where holding the left mouse button allows the avatar to follow the mouse across the landscape. As long as the button is pressed, the avatar would turn and move toward the mouse pointer. Alternatively, single or double-clicking could indicate where you want the avatar to go, but this approach offers a smoother, more intuitive way to guide the avatar using only the mouse.

Hi, I like to script for Second Life. A lot of my background in programming comes from learning LSL and it has been a very useful tool for me. Around 2020, I had a very bad set of circumstances that caused a rapid development of cataracts that left me with full blindness. It took me nearly half a year to have this rectified, during this time. I was physically incapable of using the platform due to a lack of screen-reader support. Third-party viewer options (such as Radegast) were impossible to use and left me extremely confused while trying to use them with a screen reader. It would be really nice if LL could offer accessibility features for visually impaired/blind users, starting with implementing screen reader support for their viewer. As even though I do have my sight back, I do still struggle with focus and sometimes do still use a screen reader to help.

Ability to move any pop up window ei. chat inventory group notices off the viewer and to another monitor or even the same monitor to give a cleaner in world experience

Sometimes you just want to log in without anyone on your friends list knowing you are online. Put a button on the log in screen that will allow a user to log in and be invisible to anyone on your friends list for that session or till you change it.

Please create a "Region Offline", "Region Restarting" or "Region About To Restart" warning prompt in the login screen which detects what region you're attempting to log in to, including your Home, Last Login or from a specific region name. Then if the requested region is "Region Offline", "Region Restarting" or "Region About To Restart", the log in screen should suggest an alternative online location where it is currently safe to login to. This would prevent the frustration felt by people unable to log in to Second Life at their usual or last location, or lack the ability to log in by manually elsewhere by typing in another region name.

I would like to suggest some potential enhancements to the functionality of double-clicking items within the inventory in Second Life. While the current defaults have served well, providing additional options or flexibility could better accommodate diverse user preferences and needs. These are my thoughts with respect to each inventory type based on what is filterable in the inventory. Animations: Consider allowing users to specify playback location without an extra step beyond opening the animation floater. Calling Cards: Providing the option to initiate an instant message conversation directly from a calling card could enhance user convenience. Clothing Items: A quick edit option directly from the inventory could streamline the workflow for clothing creators alongside the existing "add" or "wear" functionality, which is assumed and not user-configurable. Gestures: Allowing users to directly play gestures from the inventory without entering the editing interface could improve usability. Landmarks: Offering a preview option or opening the map for safer teleportation could mitigate accidental unprepared teleports to locations. Landmarks do not show maturity ratings, after all. Materials: The current functionality of double-clicking materials to open the material editor aligns well with user expectations. Notecards and Scripts: The efficiency of opening editors for notecards and scripts directly from the inventory is commendable. Objects: The ability to attach or detach objects is intuitive and functional, with the action of "add" or "wear" being assumed and not user-configurable. Textures and Snapshots: Opening a preview floater for textures and snapshots provides quick access to visual content. Environment Settings: The current process for adjusting environment settings can be cumbersome, especially when compared to the ease of use of the old Windlight system. Rapidly switching sky or water presets now requires multiple right-click menu interactions or opening and closing multiple environment edit floaters, which can be time-consuming and disrupt immersion. Providing a more streamlined method for users to apply multiple environment settings consecutively, perhaps through customizable presets or a simplified interface, would greatly enhance user experience and efficiency. In cases where ambiguity in user intention and existing defaults may differ, I would encourage the consideration of customizable default actions. These use cases are not necessarily intended influence the overall defaults, but to encourage reconsideration into what the existing defaults provide to users. While predictable and consistent defaults are important for the majority of users, offering a form of customization would uplift others without sacrificing predictability. Thank you for considering these suggestions. I hope that this inspires further feedback from the community.

Highlighted Filter box when a filter is applied to avoid confusion if we forget we have a filter applied. Sometimes after we apply some filter to Inventory we forget that we have that filter active and we may get confused when not finding items. So I propose that whenever a filter is active (other than All Types) the Filter drop down box is highlited somehow, maybe with a yellow background, as a warning that a filter is active. ..
