Broken money balances

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some residents have had L$ incorrectly added or deducted from their accounts. I have a list of those affected and I'll be fixing the balances accounts tonight. The few people that were inadvertantly pushed into a negative balance will get a bonus for their trouble.

If by 8:00 tomorrow morning (Pacific) you think your account has not been corrected please send an email to [email]andrew@lindenlab.com[/email] and I will investigate.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Whats your trouble? Are you just yelling FIRE in a crowded theatre? He said 1. He had a list and was fixing it. 2. If you weren't on the list send him an email.

and again; Sheesh!

Well I can tell you are not familiar with technical information. all im saying, is that what Andrew just said means a Database failure, and therefor they need to restore data from an older version.

If you are confortable with that maybe you are the one that needs the pipe.

Kyron -

Yes, we've been told that its been problems with the databases all along...

To quote Eye-gor from Young Frankenstein: "Could be worse.... Could be raining!" *cue thunderstorm*

If they said "Sorry we lost everyone's Inventory", THEN you could panic. But the sky's not falling, dude - all will be mended in time!

Take care,

Edit: Kyron - there are different levels of DB failure. And they have RAID and redundant systems. They have claimed before that no serious data loss occurred. This is TRULY a minor loss of information, compared to what it could have been!

There have been widespread problems with Linden dollar accounts before. They have always been fixed, at least for me.
