Make sure your mesh body has BOM (Bakes on Mesh) enabled.
EDIT OUTFIT
Right-click your avatar, go to Appearance, then Edit Outfit.
CHECK THE ORDER
Always use the order from bottom to top: Body Skin → Face Skin → Applicators / Tattoos / Details.
MOVE A LAYER
Hover your mouse over the wearable to reveal the small movement arrows, then use them to move the layer up or down.
TATTOOS / DETAILS
Tattoos, makeup, eyebrows, beard, scars, freckles and similar details should stay above the body skin and face skin layers.
LAYER ORDER
Bottom → Body Skin Above Body Skin → Face Skin Top → Applicators / Tattoos / Details
EXAMPLE
If your body skin, face skin or tattoo layers are in the wrong order, the textures may not display as expected.
QUICK TIP
If something looks wrong, first check if BOM is enabled on your mesh body, then verify the layer order in Edit Outfit.
This is a general Bakes on Mesh guide for common wearable order in Second Life.

PRIVACY
GRIDLY respects your privacy and aims to collect only the information reasonably necessary to provide and maintain its features.
FAVORITES
Some directory Favorites can be saved locally without an account. Signed-in Favorites, including Job Finder Favorites, can be stored with your avatar account for synchronization.
Local-only Favorites stay in the browser. Job Finder Favorites require sign-in and are private to your account.
PLACE RATINGS
GRIDLY uses a browser-generated identifier to help prevent duplicate ratings and allow an existing rating to be updated. The identifier is transformed before it is stored by GRIDLY.
Rating records may include the location being rated, the rating, a pseudonymous identifier, and related timestamps.
GRIDLY does not intentionally store your IP address in its ratings database and does not associate a rating with your Second Life username, email address, or real-life name.
Human verification for ratings may be provided by Cloudflare Turnstile. Cloudflare may process technical information necessary to provide its security and anti-bot service according to its own privacy practices.
Job Finder professional ratings are linked to the signed-in avatar so each avatar can manage its own rating.
SUBMISSIONS
When you use the Submit to GRIDLY form, you voluntarily provide information that may include a Second Life username, event or location information, SLURLs, websites, social media links, images, and any additional information you choose to submit.
GRIDLY uses this information to review, manage, verify, and, when appropriate, publish or maintain listings on GRIDLY.
Please only submit information that you are authorized to share.
Place suggestions and general submission forms are processed using Tally, a third-party form service. Club registration and ownership requests are processed directly by GRIDLY and linked to the Second Life avatar used to sign in. GRIDLY records the submitted profile, ownership review and acceptance of the club rules.
ACCOUNT LOGIN
Sign-in uses your verified Second Life avatar. You may optionally link a confirmed email for login codes. GRIDLY stores that address privately with the avatar and sends the address and code through Cloudflare Email Service. The address is not added to public profiles or team lists and is not used for marketing by this login feature. You can remove email login in account settings.
Sign-in cookies can last up to 60 days and renew while you use GRIDLY. Signing out, revoking access, deleting your account or clearing site cookies ends the applicable session. Email codes expire after 10 minutes; GRIDLY stores a protected digest, not the readable code.
LOCAL STORAGE
Some GRIDLY features use your browser's local storage to provide functionality such as Favorites and rating identification.
Information stored locally remains on your browser or device unless it is removed through your browser settings or otherwise cleared from that device.
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
GRIDLY may use third-party services to provide certain features, including Tally for submissions and Cloudflare Turnstile for security and human verification.
GRIDLY also contains links to Second Life locations, websites, social media platforms, booking pages, event pages, and other external services.
These third-party services have their own privacy practices and policies. GRIDLY does not control how external websites or services process information after you leave GRIDLY or interact directly with them.
PLACE REPORTS
Problem reports are visible only to GRIDLY administrators. We keep the reported place, issue, description and review status to maintain listings. A temporary pseudonymous network identifier helps limit spam and is cleared after two days on the next report submission. Do not include sensitive information in reports.
JOB FINDER
Job Finder stores your avatar identity, published profiles and opportunities, private applications and work records, optional agreed prices and dates, Favorites, notifications and conversation messages. Participants can read their shared work and conversations. GRIDLY moderators can review reported conversations. Work statistics are private. Deleting your account removes its linked Job Finder work records and conversations; personal calendar entries belong to the account that created them.
Private chat stores read cursors to count unread conversations. Temporary activity signals support typing indicators and optional online status. Online status is off by default, requires active Premium for both people, and reflects activity on GRIDLY. Reply-time averages use messages within the shared conversation. Turning off online status hides it; signing out invalidates the session activity. Unsent drafts and open chat tabs stay only in page memory.
Direct website chat requires an explicit, revocable preference from both participants. Notification sound is optional; its preference and recently announced notification identifiers are stored in this browser for the signed-in account.
DATA RETENTION
Information submitted directly to GRIDLY may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to review, publish, maintain, or manage a listing, respond to a request, maintain site security, or operate the relevant GRIDLY feature.
YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
You may contact GRIDLY to ask about personal information you have submitted, or to request correction or deletion when applicable.
