I posted this at my blog earlier today but thought it was worth a mention here to see if anyone else thought this would be a useful feature. I've never actually submitted a feature request, only backed others I thought were necessary.

My blog... http://www.your2ndplace.com/node/1187

Well about 5 minutes ago I heard that cha-ching sound like when the daily group dividend pay outs out in the wee hours of the morning. I had already gotten my daily dividend today, but looking at my account balance, and then at transaction history it seems group dividend has released funds for a 2nd time this morning. Honestly, I like that because I hate having lindens tied up in group where I can't access them if I needed to. I just thought it was weird and I don't recall ever getting my group funds twice in a single day. I have had it forget to pay me a few times. Thats stressful for sure, especially if you need some of the funds in there to cover tier, or it effects your buying power. I hope the double pay times today doesn't indicate a no pay tomorrow. But anyways it got me to thinking. How hard would it be to ad a button to group settings to release group funds? That would be such an awesome feature and save a few problems. I can't even tell you how many times I have bought land from people who had the land group deeded, and they didn't realize that the money would go to group. Several times they planned to take that money and get a new lot elsewhere the same day, but were unable to because the money got tied up in group until the next day. I'm not sure how hard a release group funds button would be to ad, but it would be awesome!

not that i am a big land baron, but i have bought and sold enough land to appreciate the delay you speak of.

i think it would be a great feature, AS LONG AS we still get the option of the auto distribution the next day if we weren't able to get online and do it ourselves, maunally.

so yeah, an option to manually transfer the funds right away would be really sweet.
