✨ Feature Requests

I created a group several years ago for my store, and I wish I had the ability to change the group name (to remove brackets, change a word, etc.). I'd even be willing to pay a small fee for this (similar to changing my avatar name, but maybe payable in Lindens...like paying to partner/unpartner).

Hello Linden Lab Team, I’d like to suggest an improvement that would provide a significant quality-of-life benefit for many users, especially those who frequently change outfits and use wardrobe tools. Problem: The ordering of BoM tattoos (and classic wearable layers in general) can be adjusted in the Appearance/Outfit window under Details (wrench/key icon). However, the layer ordering is currently only saved within the specific outfit that was stored. This means: even if a user wears the exact same set of attachments and the same BoM tattoos, the ordering can still be wrong when the outfit is worn through external wardrobe tools (e.g. CTS Wardrobe or similar systems), or when parts are rebuilt from inventory. As a result, users often have to manually fix tattoo ordering again and again. Suggestion: Please add a way to save BoM tattoo/layer ordering as a standalone preset, similar to how Shapes are saved as separate inventory items. For example: A new inventory asset type such as “Layer Order Preset” This preset could then be included when saving an outfit, and also manually applied when needed Benefits: Much faster outfit switching for users with complex BoM setups Less frustration and fewer manual corrections Better compatibility with wardrobe/dressing tools that many residents rely on Improves usability for roleplay, creators, and users with multiple style variations This would make BoM-based styling more reliable and bring it closer to the workflow quality we already have with Shapes. Thank you for considering the suggestion!

We already have emojis and link formatting, it would be great if we had the option to allow chat formatting as a toggle. Whether it's Discord's BOLD , italic , __underline__, code or some markup is open for debate. Considering the 1024 character limit for chat I'd prefer to keep it simple. I do not think color support would be feasible or sensible. For one, this would break against light/dark themes. And considering chat length limits it might simply not make sense unless this is parsed into compressed RGB or RGBA bytecode before sending it to the server. THIS SHOULD BE COMPLETELY USER-SELECTABLE: If a user prefers to see the plain text as it is now, they should have an easy-to-find toggle to turn this on and off. I'd default it to off to preserve compatibility to older viewers and to not potentially break scripted chat. Considering that this is purely client-side parsing and doesn't require server-side changes, I am hoping this would not be too hard to implement. It gets more complicated if group chat moderators would like this on a per-group toggle. To begin, I'd purely keep it client-side, maybe limiting it to nearby and IM/Conference. Please note that I am NOT advocating for GIFs or "Stickers". If that would be desired I'd very much prefer to keep it separately toggle-able for privacy reasons.

Please add a function to Favorite Groups so that our Favorite Groups can appear at the very top of the Group List with a star or something to denote it has been set as a Favorite. And please make it so that a currently "Active" group always appears at the top of the list regardless of if it is a favorite or not.

It would be helpful for groups, especially those that have changed hands once or more, to display their formation date on their profiles to celebrate anniversaries.

Hear me out. If cowork can organise years and years of harddrive mess, identify and remove duplicate items, then there MUST be a way to do it for inventory items. Seriously, I would pay real money to have a LL approved and trained ai get in there and do some heavy cleaning. Think of all the storage space you could save, LL. And all the user time saved when people can find their stuff. If it was a LL initiated tool, it would be able to know things not necessarily available to users - like object creator without having to rez it first. It could know categories of things and what percentage of users delete a freebie set from 2008. If the helper ai was presented as another avatar you could talk to, it could just ask intelligent questions like, do you want all the freebies you gathered at the newbies hubs? If not easy clean, or simply moving it all into a "pre trash" folder so the user can have a look at it before the final chuck. And have it read all the notecards, figure out if there is anything important, if so categorize and if not pre or trash it. The ai could ask, you have ten years with of grid affairs notecards those are all in the past, keep and organise or delete? If this could all happen in a private space where the ai could assist with the identification and outcome for the 1000 things called object in your inventory by doing a quick rez, you give it the thumbs down, gone. Thumbs up initiated a rename where possible and it's pushed into the new organisation structure. The user would have feedback in the proposed organisation so that they can actually figure out what is what after. This last thing would require user interactions but if the ai is presented as an Avi it amounts to body doubling and more people might get further in the process than they do now 'just trying to get organised ' EVEN just some fundamental help could help, this could be billed as a one off service, or perhaps a once per year included at the highest tier. I hope this doesn't seem too far out there, because currently available tech COULD do this, it would just need the right access and implementation.

It would be nice if creators could somehow use an identification system for their folders that would insert the folder into the correct location upon unpacking the product. For example, if I'm selling clothes, it would be preferable for the unpacked folder to show up in the CLOTHES section of the buyer's inventory rather than every person needing to drag it into the correct place. Likewise, if I'm selling a bunch of textures, it would be nice to be able to internally "mark" (perhaps in properties) that my product should go into the Textures folder once unpacked. ***NOTE: Users should still be able to copy/paste/drag these folders wherever they choose if they prefer a different location.

Like the notes tab available for user profiles, a notes tab for group profiles. For say, tracking group join fee prices, for example. Or making note of why we joined that group in the first place. Or club schedules.

The bento update didn't add new shaping sliders we should at least get tail shaping sliders to make the tail longer/shorter or thicker/thinner.

SL has changed over the years. Casual interaction used to be the default, but now it’s the exception, and most people hesitate to reach out unless they’re sure it’s welcome. Established residents usually have their friend groups, but newer people often struggle to fit in or know who’s open to chat. Many residents are looking for simple, low‑key interaction, but SL mainly gives us tools to signal that we’re busy, like autorespond, unavailable, mute, and away. There’s no equivalent way to show that we’re open to interact. It would be helpful if SL had a simple visual indicator to show when someone is open to chat. Maybe something in the profile, preferences, or even a small marker above the avatar that residents can turn on when they’re in the mood to interact. A clear, universal signal like this could make everyday socializing feel less awkward and a lot more natural. Thanks!
