The ability to hide clothing with no demo in the Marketplace search
With the wildly varying quality of mesh clothing, most customers and many creators have realized the usefulness of providing a demo of clothing to test fit, skin weights, in-world appearance, complexity, and many other qualities of a given item. It has, therefore, become frustrating to see something I'm interested in, click on it, only to find I'd be gambling if I bought it because there's no demo available. I never buy clothing without a demo, and manually checking to see if a demo is available can slow down the shopping experience. Add to that the bad actors that state "Demo available at in-world store." To date I have never found an in-world demo, and am instead barraged with a maze of other items they're trying to sell to me (a good portion of which won't even fit my body and also have no demo available) while I look for said demo. In many cases, I come to doubt that the demo even exists. This is VERY poor business practice, as I already have a mental list of stores to avoid while shopping because I know there will be no demo on the MP. Vendors: NEVER make your customer jump through hoops to buy your product. This is a poor idea and just a stupid thing to do. If I am shopping on the Marketplace, I'm not interested in switching to shopping in-world. Actual clothing stores have fitting rooms that are easily seen and accessible, not hid somewhere in the back behind the restrooms. You've just lost your sale. If a filter can be added under the "Do Not Show:" category that specifies "Items with no Demo" it would speed up my shopping experience as well as allow me to more readily award those that perform best practices and provide demos for their products. I believe this will also have the added benefit of inspiring those that presently do not provide a demo, or claim to have one in-world, to actually provide a demo on the Marketplace to allow for shoppers to quickly and easily try on clothes.

Enable Notification or Webhook for Weekly Stipend Deposits to Avatars
Currently, avatars receiving weekly stipends as part of Second Life Premium or Premium Plus memberships do not receive any notifications or system messages when these L$ deposits occur. This presents a challenge for users and scripted bots that rely on transaction notifications or listeners to track and respond to incoming funds. Use Case: At SmartBots, we provide bot services that help users manage avatars, track transactions, and perform automated tasks based on L$ deposits. Many of our users have asked for the ability to detect when a stipend is received by an avatar. However, since there is no event trigger, message, or transaction notification for these stipend payments, bots and automated systems are effectively blind to them. This impacts: Accurate financial logging and visibility Triggering user-defined automated behaviors (e.g., announcements, logging, reactions) Customer support debugging when tracking deposit history Building reliable in-world systems that depend on timely detection of all L$ inputs Proposed Solution: We are requesting the implementation of any of the following (in order of preference): A notification event (similar to standard L$ transactions) that is sent to the avatar upon stipend deposit. An LSL-accessible event or updated balance notification that bots and scripts can listen for. Webhook support or API endpoint that allows us to fetch or receive stipend transaction data with timestamp. A transaction log entry (visible in the viewer or via API) that clearly marks the stipend arrival with a distinct type. Impact: Adding notification support for stipends would improve transparency, enable a smoother user experience, and allow for broader functionality in user and bot systems. It would also reduce support load by helping both Linden Lab and third-party providers verify fund arrival more easily. Thank you for considering this request — we’re happy to provide additional use cases or technical details if needed.
