Event listings on GridAffairs are Free!

While we try to be as inclusive as possible, we also had to tighten the rules, as people using GridAffairs because they can easy find the quality Events on the site or in our Inworld HUD.

We actively exclude Events/Event Organizers which:
- knowingly promote IP Rights Violators
- are of deceptive nature
- use bots to manipulate traffic
- don't follow our submission guideline
- are of low quality content and presentation

This means: You CAN'T just buy in to get your events listed - you have to earn it!

We believe SL events should be fun, interesting, focused on quality content and topics.

Another reason can be that we just didn't knew about the event and will gladly correct that as soon as you let us know.

And last but not least - we are humans only and some event maybe just slipped through our fingers. Should you notice this, please let us know as soon as possible, so we can fix it immediately.

You can filter the events by categories. using the drop down or search for an event title by typing the name into the textbox and click on the search button

Simply click on the event flyer image, the event title or the teleport button.

Go to your inventory

Right click the object GridAffairs HUD V ** and choose “Add” from the context menu

Alternatively you can also choose “Add to HUD” and choose your attachment point. Preferably you choose one of the corner attachment points like: right top, right bottom, left top or left bottom, as the HUD is designed to work best with those attachment points.

After attaching you will see the GridAffairs HUD icon on your screen.

A click on the icon will maximize the HUD and you can start using it – it’s that easy :-)
If you want to move the Hud to a different position on your screen, please follow the easy steps below:

- Right click the HUD
- Choose Edit from the context menu
- Use the arrows that appear to move the HUD vertically and/or horizontally

Unfortunately there can be situations when the HUD isn't working due to script- or settings issues.

Please follow these steps, which might get it back on track:

1 - Detach and re-attach the HUD: If there is no spinning sign after re-attaching go to next step
2 - Go to a Sandbox Region like the Ivory Tower Library Sandbox and try again. Still not working?
3 - Get a new HUD at one of the Kiosks listed here. Still not working?
4 - Check the media settings in your Viewer Preferences. Try with the settings shown below.
