The word "parish" has different meanings, including secular ones (which admittedly evolved from the original religious meaning). In this context it is equivalent to "A division of a county for administrative and local government purposes" (Chambers Dictionary). When I vote in local elections, I vote...

Time for a progress report. Various discussions inworld have convinced me that a 3x3 region is viable. So yesterday I created a new 3x3 world, currently the metered variant. I'll switch it to unlimited at a later stage. Paislee, Sherrie and I were discussing possible names for the world. I suggested...

It looks as though it was another instance of a 4-star review being interpreted as a negative one by the merchant, instead of the positive one that the customer thought they had left. I do hope we can establish more widely that ratings of 4 stars are very good! They are not an insult or an indicatio...

Good luck, both of you. Thank you for all the work you do.

Unfortunately Firefox and Chrome have broken the Kitely plugin (and lots of others too). From now on we all have to log on manually, as described in this article: How to Enter Kitely Virtual Worlds It's a real nuisance, but not one that Kitely can do much about. :( I've been able to log in by going ...

When I finally managed to log in after the update (I found that using a fairly simple world for initial entry seemed to help), I opened up the world map to TP to one of my other worlds.

The update has brought lovely new map tiles. Look at this:

Apologies for the double post, but I wanted to add that Sierra's proposal for 1- and 2-star ratings is a good one. The 2-star rating gives space for the merchant to try to put something right; a 1-star rating is available for customers to use if the merchant ignores the problem. So that would change...

Just a note to say that I will be adopting the following understanding of the star ratings, and will paste them in product reviews. If others would like to use them as well, click "Select all" to quickly grab the text, then copy and paste as usual: Star rating: 5 = Outstanding; 4 = Very good; 3 = Ex...

Would changing the words used in first two categories help? So: 5-star: Outstanding 4-star: Very good 3-star: Exactly as advertised 2-star: Not as advertised, disappointed 1-star: Not as advertised, extremely disappointed I realised that we don't need to wait for the implementation of a pop-up defin...

4-star: really nice!
3-star: exactly as advertised
2-star: not as advertised, disappointed
1-star: not as advertised, extremely disappointed

These definitions make sense. They are simple, clear, easy to understand and use, and hopefully hassle-free.
