Both show on your profile: your IM status in the Details section, your places in the Favorite destinations section. They're part of the free experience, so you don't need Primfeed Pro.

Open your profile settings

1. Go to your own profile.

2. Click Edit details, at the bottom of the card that holds your Details and About sections.

This opens the Profile tab of your settings. You can also reach it from the account menu: choose Settings, then Profile under Account. The tab has a Details section for your IM status and a Favorite destinations section for your places.

Set your in-world IM status

1. In the Details section, open the In-world IMs dropdown.

2. Pick the answer that fits you:

   • Happy to chat: anyone is welcome to send you an IM.

   • Collabs, Commissions, Job offers, Bookings or Customer support: IMs about that topic are welcome.

   • Rather not: you'd prefer residents don't IM you.

   • Not set (the default): nothing shows on your profile.

Residents then see an In-world IMs row with your answer in the Details section of your profile. Where there's room beside the label, a colored dot goes with it: green for Happy to chat, blue for the five topics, and red for Rather not.

Add a note

Once you've picked an answer, a Note field appears. Type a short line, up to 100 characters, for example the hours you're usually online or what you are looking for. The note shows in grey under your In-world IMs row.

The link to your Second Life profile

On a personal account, the Details section also has a Second Life link. Clicking it opens your profile in the resident's Second Life viewer.

Choosing Rather not removes this link, even if you've also hidden the In-world IMs row. Your Second Life username still shows on your profile; only the link goes away.

Share your favorite destinations

Favorite destinations are up to three places in Second Life you'd like residents to visit, such as your store, your gallery or a club you love.

1. In the Favorite destinations section, click Add a favorite destination.

2. In the Create a favorite destination dialog, give the place a Name (up to 36 characters).

3. Paste its SLURL, the maps.secondlife.com link to the place, for example https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Region%20Name/128/128/25.

4. Click Create the destination.

The place appears as a tile in the Favorite destinations section of your profile. Clicking the region opens the place on the Second Life map, ready to teleport.

Once you have three destinations, the Add a favorite destination tile goes away. Remove one to make room for another.

Remove a destination

1. In the Favorite destinations section of your settings, click the × on the destination's tile.

2. Confirm with Remove the destination.

Removing can't be undone, but you can add the same place again at any time.

Details and destinations for a store page

Each store page has its own IM status and favorite destinations, separate from your personal account's. The page's owner and its managers can change them.

1. Switch to the page in your account menu (see Switch between your personal and store account).

2. Open the page's profile and click Edit details, or open Settings and click Profile under Business.

While a page is selected, your settings list your account's tabs under Account and the page's tabs under Business, so Profile under Account still edits your personal account. A page has no Second Life link, so Rather not only changes the IM row on its profile.
