Before anyone says this, yes I know and I am contacting LL as you type. So no worries.

Now, I'm just curious if anyone else has stopped receiving their weekly stipends? I am a paid user in good standing, and I just relaized I did not receive my stipend last week and it has not yet come this week (which makes it late by the previous schedule). Anyone have any information/experience with this?

I'm just curious, not trying to start up trouble, I promise.

I think there have been posts not much time ago (around 1 month, maybe?) about stipends not getting paid.

Guess it's one of the many SL... glitches or whatever.

It's happened occasionally when the system got backed up, but I'd get the stipend eventually that day. I've heard of a couple of cases of the stipends not getting paid to people, but that was before the general forum closed.

If you haven't received it, my suggestion is that if you don't get an answer in a couple of days to an email, then call them. Repeatedly, if it tells you to leave a message. Be persistent, because you are paying for those L!

Make sure to check your transaction history, stipends are paid silently (and if you happen to be logged on at the time they're paid, they may not add to your balance until you relog).

I've talked to a few people who thought they weren't getting their stipend, but didn't realize it would just show up on their balance and they never noticed.

The whole query is actually based on my transaction history. When I realized it hadn't been paid yet today (also based on transaction history) I went through last week's transactions and realized it wasn't there either. I'm never online when it gets paid, so I don't rely on that for information.

It's troubling, but good to know I'm probaby not hallucinating the entire issue. I will pursue support.

I'm a Basic account, Two and a half years in SL, and they haven't missed a stipend day yet. Upon Logging in this morning or yesterday, the Log-in message had to do with Linden Balances Not Immediately showing or Updating. Could this be a Cause?

Last night I'd noticed my stipend had arrived. This morning my history tells me it was 400L$ I think that might be two weeks as I didn't notice it last week.

Also last night my RL buddy who's also Premium exclaimed his balance keeps going up each week. I explained stipend to him and asked if he hadn't read the whole account blurb when signing up.

He hadn't LOL .. he's a System Administrator for chrissake!!!
