Offer not working? Troubleshooting the tricky ones

So the offer is not working?

Well, in 9 out of 10 cases, it is. You may just need to give it a little punch. Here's a couple of 'common mistakes'.

In all cases: no need to get huffy :0)

Give things some time to rez, at busy places this may take 30+ seconds. During that time, your HUD may lose its connection to the server, so there may be a delay in registering TP locations, picks etc.

Check your HUD status

Your HUD is your friend, it will most probably tell you what to do.

Especially in 'combined offers', for example a pay4visit that requires you to visit the offer location, and additionally requires a pick:

'Waiting for teleport' : You are not at the offer location, or your HUD did not register that you are.

Make sure you used the correct landmark; try teleporting out and back in.
Something in your cache may have gotten your HUD confused. Not very common, but this does happen. Try clearing the cache (Menu: Me / Preferences / Setup / Cache Location / RESET), and then retry the offer.

'Waiting for your pick' : Offer requires you to add the location to your picks, but the HUD does not register the correct pick. Try using the landmark you received with the offer, right-click on that and select 'create pick'.

'Waiting for action' : No offer selected, or HUD did not register any selection. Chances are that your HUD does not work properly at your current location, most probably because the parcel you're on has inhibited the use of scripts. Try visiting a different location where there's scripts allowed, and retry selecting an offer.
