Slurl Me!

Hey guys guess what it is FRIYAY! That means we have all survived another week! We are super busy here at Amaretto working on top secret update stuff! Enough about us lets talk about you!

It occurred to me earlier today that we do have some community members that do not know how to make a slurl!

SLurls and landmarks serve the same purpose. The main difference is that a SLurl is simply a text link, while a landmark is an inventory item type which can only be used inside of SL.

You can post a slurl in spam, in note card, or even an private message! If a Amaretto CSR ever answers your ticket with the reply please send me a slurl, I want you guys to be ready!

How to use and make SLurls
To use an existing SLurl:

Click this example SLurl.https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Here
On the page it takes you to, click Visit this location to open it in Second Life.

To make a new SLurl:

Move your avatar to where you want to create the SLurl.
Click the place name in the location bar (near the top of the Viewer window) to convert it to a SLurl. It’ll look like http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Here/128/128/44.

Right-click and Copy the SLurl while it’s selected, or use Ctrl+V.

Paste the SLurl where you want it.

Alternatively, you can also use the WORLD MAP to get SLurls:

Select World menu > World Map.
Click Copy SLurl.

You can also enter another place on the map, then click Copy SLurl to get a remote SLurl.

Converting a landmark to a SLurl (and vice-versa)
To convert a landmark to a SLurl:

Select Me > Places.
Right-click a landmark and select Copy SLurl.
Paste the Slurl where you want it.
To convert a SLurl to a landmark:

Click or otherwise use the SLurl to get to its location.
Select World > Landmark This Place. The landmark is saved to your inventory.

So this is a great secondlife tip i use all the time! Hope this helps some of you guys that didnt know how to make a slurl. Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!

Points Of Contact!

Hey everyone guess what its Thursday! I wanted to take some time today to talk to you about something I am very passionate about and that is that you as a customer of Amaretto can always find help or talk to someone if you need help!

There are a few different ways that you can get in touch with Amaretto!

If it is within normal business hours you can go to the main horse store and see who is online and use the paging system to speak with someone.

Another way that you can get in touch with Amaretto is by filing a ticket! We answer all tickets, even the ones that may be considered silly or not ticket worthy. So we will respond to any ticket filed. This is a great way to communicate because you can access your tickets anytime on our support page and it also keeps a record for us!

Everyday during the week the Assistant Manager of Amaretto Mrs. Jaymee Caproni holds a Q and A time at the main horse store watch for her in the groups telling you when she will be there, head on over and say hello!

Also located at every Amaretto location is a suggestion mail box, so if you have a great idea that you want to share with Amaretto you can put it in a nc and drop it in any mailbox!

On the last Wednesday of ever month, Amaretto hosts a community meeting where everyone is welcome to attend, and the floor is open to discuss any issue you may be having with your breeadble! Also you might learn some secrets if you attend!

The last resort way to contact Amaretto would be sending a notecard or a message to a Amaretto staff member, for instance if you can not sign into the support website and need some help you can send Avalon Crystal a notecard and I will get back to you ASAP!

Wait! I almost forgot probably the way that most of you guys talk is the Amaretto groups during business hours staff is always in the group during the week. If it is a weekend or the middle of the night we have moderators that are online and a ton of community members that will help you as well!

With all these different ways for you to be in contact with Amaretto, you should have no problem getting any help if you need it! Also if you would like to tell me about your experience with Amaretto good or bad you can send me a notecard thats Avalon Crystal! Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!

Favorite Trait Revealed!

Hey everyone its another Terrific Tuesday! I hope everyones fay is going well!
Last week I had asked you guys to send me what you think your favorite Amaretto trait was.

I got several note cards from the community! Some had some excellent suggestions for future traits, which we always appreciate. Let me share with you some of the top entries before I tell you all what the winning trait is.

Here is a list of the top Fav traits currently available for Amaretto Horses!

Wild hairs
Walkers
Wings
Opal
Saddles
Eyes
Bridle
Horn

Now when I think about my favorite trait it is just so hard to pick one! I mean i love saddles, wings, and socks! So which trait was the favorite amongst you guys?!

By a landslide it was hands down the Wild Hair trait!

I always say that the wild hair trait is like the cherry on top of a sundae! It can bring a project all together! It is so exciting to think about all the new traits thats will be coming in 6.0!

Until then this is Ava over and out! Happy breeding everyone!

Hey Everyone!

Markus and I have been super busy (yet again) 😛

A few weeks back we did a connection on The Amaretto Family website and explained about its features, well that website really laid the groundwork for this new website we are showing you today (they are joined, you can login with your TAF Account, or create a new one).

But first let me explain that these sites are in no way run by Amaretto, but by myself and Markus. We are sharing this with you thanks to Josie for giving us permission to do.

https://www.theamarettofamily.xyz/

TAF Classifieds is a new way to advertise your animals that you are selling, it is similar in some regards to other website platforms out there already available but it does have some interesting features that we hope you will check out!

It lets everyone post adverts for free!

PS we plan to add more features in the coming months!

For more in-depth information on the features of the website you can check out this article here: https://www.theamarettofamily.xyz/index.php?/forums/topic/4-website-features/

If you are interested in checking it out, sign up here! – https://www.theamarettofamily.xyz/index.php?/register/

Whats your favorite?

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone is winding down there week! I have had something on my mind that i wanted to talk to you guys about.

We are currently working on 6.0 update for the horses!!! Man do we have some great stuff jam packed in this update! There will be lots of surprises!!!!

Now here is where I need your help! I want to hear from you, I want to know what is your favorite Amaretto trait?

Is it a breed? A horn, wing, saddle? I want to know what it is you love about your Amaretto Horses!! Thats right fire up those notecards and let me know! Please send all notecards to Avalon Crystal named My Fav Trait!

I think this will be interesting to compile and see if you guys have more in common or more eclectic taste! I will announce the results in a following connection!!

I want to hear from you! Happy Breeding Everyone! This is Ava over and out!

The Amaretto Family

Hey Everyone,

As most of you already know about The Amaretto Community website (https://www.theamarettocommunity.com not ran by Amaretto but by myself and Bazza) today I want to tell you all about a NEW website that Bazza and I have been working on over the past few weeks!

The Amaretto Family (https://www.theamarettofamily.com) is an extension of The Amaretto Community.

So why the 2 websites?, Well let me explain why.

Firstly, The Amaretto Community (TAC) website is not going anywhere, It will still be used for sharing new traits/showing off the goodies you get in-world and keeping everyone up to date. However, the “community” features of the website were relatively complicated and not very clean and easy to use for the average user, and this showed by the lack of community features, it also was buggy at times with registration and also password resets. So we have taken the decision to disable registration and the membership mechanics on the TAC website. If you had an account on there you will no longer be able to log into it.

The Amaretto Family (TAF) website is a separate platform to TAC. TAF uses software that is widely adopted across forums and communities. The official Second Life forums run on this very software. It is much easier to register, adjust profiles, reset passwords and take part in the community.

One very useful feature is full integration with Discord – We will be taking the step to rename our Discord channel to “The Amaretto Family”.

Secondly, to bring the community closer together we have integrated the folks over at AMOC (Amaretto Market Owner Coalition) into this ecosystem. (AMOC’s previous website had similar issues in regards to communities as TAC did). So if you are an avid AMOC user you should sign up here and grab an account as you will need it to register here for future AMOC events. AMOC’s Forum: https://www.theamarettofamily.com/index.php?/forum/5-amaretto-market-owners-coalition-amoc/

This platform is years ahead of the previous so we encourage you all to sign up and join in! – We are still working on adding everything so keep an eye on this site over the coming days.
We also have plans to add some exciting new features to the platform over the coming weeks/months!

On that note our in-world TAC signs have been readjusted to show the changes to the site. So if you have an old one out you should probably pick up a new one (for free) here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sushene Seven/219/161/21

We also have a new sign for TAF which can also be picked up for free at the same location!

A special thanks goes out to Josie for letting us post this 3rd party community on the connection. <3

Hugs everyone, Marku <3
