	* '''Trash''' - To empty your Trash folder, ~~login~~ to the [http://www.osgrid.org/ website] go to My Account and a link is on the left side of page to empty trash. ~~You will also want~~ to ~~Empty~~ trash in ~~your viewer at the same time~~.		* '''Trash''' - To empty your Trash folder, it's important to clear it '''both''' in your '''viewer''' and on the '''OSgrid website''' for full inventory consistency. Login to the [http://www.osgrid.org/ website], go to My Account, and you'll find a link on the left side of the page to empty trash. Remember to clear your viewer's trash/cache as well (usually in Preferences > Network & Cache > Clear Cache).

	* '''Regions''' - If ~~you ever need to remove a region~~ you are no longer running~~, login~~ to the ~~website and select Account > My Profile~~ you can remove (purge) ~~regions registered~~ to ~~your avatar~~, and ~~this removes them from~~ the ~~map~~.		* '''Regions''' - If you are no longer running a region that is still registered to your avatar and appears on the map, you can remove (purge) it via the website. Login to [http://www.osgrid.org/ website], select Account > My Profile, and find the option to '''purge regions'''.

	* '''Partnering''' - ~~If you want to~~ partner with another avatar, login to the website ~~and~~ select My Account > Profile, scroll to "Change Partner" add ~~your partner's~~ name and they will ~~get a notice sent~~ to ~~their email~~.		* '''Partnering''' - To formally '''partner''' with another avatar within the grid (this adds a "Partner" label on your profile), login to the [http://www.osgrid.org/ website], select My Account > Profile, scroll down to the "Change Partner" section, add their avatar name, and they will receive an email notification to accept the partnership request.

	* '''~~Don´t know where~~ to go ?''' - LBSA Plaza is ~~OSGrids~~ social ~~lounge, generally people hang around~~ there at ~~any time of~~ the day. (Did you know you can click on any of the plaza's ~~in the~~ login screen ~~of your viewer, and it will make you login~~ there).		* '''Where to Socialize?''' - '''LBSA Plaza''' (often simply called '''LBSA''' in chat) is generally considered OSgrid's primary social hub. You'll often find friendly residents there ready to chat at various times throughout the day. '''Tip:''' Did you know you can click on any of the highlighted plaza images or names directly from your viewer's login screen to automatically teleport there after logging in?

	* '''~~Need new clothes / a house / other stuff~~ ?''' - Wright Plaza is where you ~~want~~ to ~~visit for shopping. From there~~ you ~~will find~~ many ~~more~~ places to visit~~, as it is also~~ the ~~home of the Travel Office~~.		* '''Where to Shop?''' - For shopping, '''Wright Plaza''' is a major destination where you can find a wide variety of items like clothing, homes, vehicles, and other goods. It's also home to the '''Travel Office''', which can help you discover many other interesting places and regions to visit across the grid.

	* '''Need a ~~place~~ to Live ?''' - If you ~~have no~~ land ~~to place your~~ home ~~here yet~~, you can apply for a free plot at one of our Resident ~~Plaza~~'s. ~~Tutorials~~ on the main wiki ~~page will explain how to run your own simulator~~, but ~~mind~~ that ~~is a bit of a learning curve~~ to ~~run~~ a server~~, if you have never done so before~~. ~~Free~~ land ~~offered by~~ hosts ~~and individuals~~ can be found in the [http://forums.osgrid.org/ OSgrid Forums]		* '''Need a Place to Live?''' - If you're new and looking for land for a home, you can apply for a '''free plot''' at one of our '''Resident Plazas'''. These are managed plots and are a great way to get started with land ownership. If you're considering running your '''own simulator''' (a private region), tutorials are available on the main wiki, but please note that this requires some technical understanding to set up and maintain a server. Offers for '''free land''' from individual hosts or other residents can often be found discussed on the [http://forums.osgrid.org/ OSgrid Forums].

	* '''~~I have no place to unpack my~~ items ~~/ i cannot seem~~ to ~~rez~~''' ~~- OSGrid~~ has various sandboxes, ~~running~~ different physics engines, ~~that you can use to build & test~~ your ~~items. Just open~~ the ~~map~~ and ~~type~~ Sandbox. ~~There~~ are ~~many~~ public ~~sandboxes as well~~.		* '''Cannot Rez or Unpack Items?''' - If you're having trouble rezzing items from your inventory or unpacking boxes, you might need to be in a '''sandbox''' region. OSgrid has various public sandboxes designed for building, testing, and unpacking items. These sandboxes may run different physics engines. To find them, just open your '''map''' in the viewer and search for "Sandbox". Keep in mind sandboxes are public, and items might be automatically returned after a period of time.

	* '''~~Sometimes my teleport fails~~''' ~~Many regions are hosted on peoples desktop machines. These~~ might not ~~always be online~~, and your ~~mileage may vary qua performance~~, ~~depending on their connection / hardware~~.		* '''Avatar Appearance Issues''' - Sometimes, your avatar might not load correctly, appearing as a default "Ruth/Roth" avatar or a simple "blob" shape. This is a common glitch! Common first steps to try fixing this include '''re-baking''' your avatar (often found in the viewer's Advanced or Develop menus), '''clearing your viewer's cache''' (in Preferences > Network & Cache), and '''re-applying or replacing your outfit'''. If these quick fixes don't work, don't hesitate to ask for help from experienced residents.

	* '''~~Where can i find active regions ?~~''' ~~If you login to [http://www~~.~~osgrid.org osgrid~~.~~org]~~, you ~~can see where your friends are located online. Also online there~~ are ~~various directories like [http://opensimworld~~.~~com/dir opensimworld]~~		* '''Understanding Teleport Issues''' - OSgrid is a decentralized grid, with many regions hosted by individuals on their personal computers. Because these might not always be online or have varying internet speeds and computer hardware, sometimes teleports can fail, or regions might load slowly or have performance issues. This is a normal aspect of decentralized grids, and your experience ("'''your mileage may vary'''") can depend on the host of the region you are visiting.

	* '''~~How do i keep up to speed with inworld activities ?~~''' ~~For that~~ you can ~~best join~~ the [~~https~~://www.~~facebook~~.~~com/groups/119228381495337/ Facebook community Group~~]. ~~Everybody~~ can ~~announce it~~'~~s inworld events there~~, ~~and also all~~ OSgrid ~~organised events are always posted there 1st~~. ~~New releases are announced via twitter and appear on your viewer login page, and grid announcements are posted via~~ [http://~~news~~.~~osgrid~~.~~org news.osgrid.org]~~		* '''Finding Active Regions''' - To see which of your '''friends''' are online and where they are located, you can login to the [http://www.osgrid.org osgrid.org website]. You can also use external '''OpenSim directories''' that list active public regions across many grids, including OSgrid. [http://opensimworld.com/dir Opensimworld] is a popular example.

	* '''~~Are there more places on the web to find Opensim / Osgrid related information ?~~''' ~~Sure. Try this "~~[~~http~~://www.~~symbaloo~~.com/~~mix~~/~~osgrid startpage~~]"		* '''Staying Updated''' - To keep informed about what's happening in OSgrid:
	~~Especially with troubleshooting, mind that since the platform exists~~ for ~~over 10 years now~~, it's ~~important to always verify the data~~ your ~~read is not very outdated, stuff might have changed~~.		** Join the official [https://www.facebook.com/groups/119228381495337/ OSgrid Community Group on Facebook]. This is a great place for residents to announce their events, and official OSgrid events are always posted there first.
			** New '''releases and updates''' are typically announced via OSgrid's '''Twitter''' account and often appear directly on your '''viewer login page''' under announcements.
			** Official grid announcements are posted on [http://news.osgrid.org news.osgrid.org].

	* '''Are there ~~also~~ places ~~within Osgrid to~~ find ~~useful information~~, ~~scritps or tools ?~~''' ~~Sure~~. ~~LBSA Plaza and Wright Plaza are good places to start chatting -asking questions / shopping / finding info~~ and or ~~goodies~~.		* '''More Web Information''' - Are there other places online for OpenSim/OSgrid information? Yes! You might find this "[http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/osgrid startpage]" helpful for collecting various links. When looking for help or tutorials online, especially for troubleshooting, it's very important to '''check the date''' of the information you find. Since the OpenSim platform has existed for over 10 years and is constantly evolving, older guides might contain outdated instructions or information that is no longer accurate.

	(~~under~~ construction, more to be added later)		* '''Getting In-world Help''' - Don't hesitate to ask questions or look for assistance directly in-world from experienced residents. '''LBSA Plaza''' and '''Wright Plaza''' are excellent starting points for chatting with others who can often help with basic problems (like avatar glitches or getting started), shopping, and finding freebies or information centers. Residents are generally friendly and willing to guide newcomers.
