LL Curently provides the ability to download an excel spreadsheet of each day's transactions for an avatar, and keeps one month or so of back data on-line via the website. This is a fine thing, but the service needs improvements:

It has been noted that if you have a long transaction history for a given day, you can't see all of that day's transactions. This is a serous bug! I haven't yet had that many sales, texture uploads and other transactions in one day myself, but that needs to get fixed! You should be able to ALWAYS get a full record of a given day's transactions, and not lose data.

The default name for downloading transaction data is "secondlife-transactions.xls". No date stamp. It needs a date stamp, so you can DL multiple days without having to manually add your own date stamp to each file as you save it. For example, "SL-Transactions-2006-03-12.xls". That isn't that hard to code.

The ONLY option now is to manually download one day's data at a time. PLEASE allow users to specify a date range, so they can DL a weeks worth or two weeks worth or a full month's worth of files all at once!

PLEASE allow for a DL of a single spreadsheet that includes the data for the above specified date range, instead of an excel file for each day!

Please allow the website to retain the last 3 months data, and not just one month.

As a merchant and builder who is trying hard to make a living in SL, I would be most appreciative of these changes. It will be very helpful to me for keeping decent business records.

Last I checked, the website goes back quite a ways. I think it contains ALL records, but I'd have to check that.
Nevermind, you're right. As of right now it goes back to Feb 24.
