 Description  « Hide
The Calling Card List is usually not required for searching for yourself (i.e., it is quicker to get your Profile via the pie menu and you cannot IM yourself), but it would be very useful for group land management. If your own card was automatically placed at the top of the list then you could easily select yourself as the avatar to sell the land to (for transferring land from one group to another).

Original Description that the first two comments relate to follows:.

When transferring from one group to another (esp when nearing tier limit and adding group tier might trigger a price increase) it is common to sell land to yourself of 0L$. However, the only way to do this is to search for your name, while I can select others via Calling Card. I have a premium account called Jenn Masala and had two non-premium accounts. On searching for Jenn Masala I found a Jenna Masala. There was too much risk of clicking the wrong name so I upgraded one of the alts to premium, even though Jenn Masala was only a few months into an annual contract. I would not have needed to do this if I could have selected Sell to Self.

I think this is mitigated by the dialog that pops up right before the parcel sale window is completed, asking if you want to sell the land to <person> for <price>.

Lex, you have misread the proposal. It is that you can select anyone in your calling card list, but not yourself. Your own account has to be done via a Search. When handling group land sell to self is a common practice, so this has ease of use implications as well as security ones.

Your comment about the dialogue is fine but take my example how many people would automatically click Yes because all but one of the letters in the Avatars name was correct.

Edited title and description to make this a request to have your own calling card at the top of the calling card list.

Nothing happening here, so back briefly in JIRA to close it.
