I've enjoyed having my huge balance in the beta grid.

Tonight for the first time, it's only showing 6,000 lindens.

Boo hoo! Grrr!

:mad: :(

LOL, before the update I had 56.000. Now 'only' 5k. :)

What was supposed to happen was if you had less than L$5,000 on the main grid when the update occured, you'd get exactly L$5,000 on the beta grid. If you had more than L$5,000 on the main grid, you should've gotten your maingrid balance plus L$5,000. It didn't quite work out that way though. :P

If I fire up the main grid and find my real balance is 6000 - 5000 betabonus = 1000 lindens then I really will be saying boohoo and grrrr. And several other things as well. ;)

Well, let's see....

Whew, that's a relief.

Yes it was quite a surprise when I logged into the beta grid. It felt like someone raided my wallet. Granted I know the balance is only good for testing, but having a larger balance allows for more testing (at least the kind I often do on the beta grid). Hopefully this will be fixed in the next inventory update. Not to mention that the passwords will be in sync. It is a little annoying to revert to a old password for the beta grid (I recently was bit by the "we have updated our security and you have to reset your password" issue).

It's a little scary in a way.... I've always had my full balance on the beta grid in the past with previous DB snapshots, this time I don't (and what was even stranger is that it wasn't an exact number, something like L$5489). O.o
