IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING
LINDEN LAB'S POLICY ON PROFILE PICKS

The misuse of Profile Picks to increase your SL Search Rank is now against the TOS for Second Life.

The following excerpt is from: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Search_Guidelines#Search_Policies

---------------- SECOND LIFE SEARCH POLICY ------------------------------
"Any attempt to artificially inflate your rank in search results could result in penalties to your rank, de-listing from search and disciplinary action against your Second Life account. This includes but is not limited to inappropriate use of traffic bots or Picks. "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since using scripts to check for profile picks can possibly harm your SL search rank I am voluntarily removing the picks feature from all of my products at this time. It would not be fair for any of my customers to get in trouble for something they are not aware of.

As of this writing (April 28, 2010,) there has yet to be an official announcement on the Second Life blog about the use of Profile Picks. Also I have not received a response to my emails from the SL Search team.

As updates for Alicia Stella Design products without a Picks feature become available please replace your old ones with new ones. The Picks feature itself will stop working sometime very soon after new versions have been sent out. Picks feature requires external scripts that I host on my servers to work and they will be disabled shortly.
