(g): Click on “Settings” and then click “Restore”
(h): When the HUD tells you to rez the backup-unit, please do so and follow the instructions on-screen.
===============================
2: If your old HUD is older than version 3.0,

Question: Can I hide the hover-text?
Answer: Yes! Just click the HUD button, then click “hideText” to hide all the hover-text. Click on “showText” again to enable the text again.
Question: Can I hide all the avatars that is offline? My screen is so cluttered with all the offline avatars!
Answer: Yes! Just click the HUD button, then click “Settings” and then click “hideOffline”. To show the offline users again, just click “showOffline”.
Question: When I use /3 + name command to add people, the avatar does not get added. What’s wrong?
Answer: Be sure you write the full name without any spelling errors. If you still got problems adding with the command, you should use this alternative method instead:
1: Teleport to where the avatar you want to add is located.
2: Stand within 96 meter of the avatar
3: Click on the HUD button on your screen and then click on “Add” command in the menu.
4: Click on the desired name to add in the popup menu that appears.
Question: The email-notifications seems not to work properly, what’s wrong?
Answer: There are various things that might be wrong:
1: You have mis-spelled your email address. please double-check your spelling.
2: Your email has a spam-filter that prevents the alerts from reaching you. Many popular web-based email accounts like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft Live etc seems to classify emails sent from Secondlife gadgets as spam by default. Please check your spam filter, and also make sure you have whitelisted the secondlife-address in the filters.
3: Sometimes the Secondlfie email server stops working in a particular SIM/Region due to extreme lag. The current only way to fix this is by requesting a SIM-Reboot from the SIM-Owner.
4: If all above fails, I recommend using the HUD’s built-in log-file system instead, or if you got a iPhone, iPot Touch or iPad you can use the HUD’s built-in iPhone Push-Message alerts instead. Generally the iPhone Push-Message alert system is much more stable on long term than the secondlife email system.
