The 'subtract ending from starting' will only work if you are actually carrying a US $ balance on your account -- have both a starting US $ balance and and ending US $ balance - and not always even in that case.
If you don't have a US $ balance at the beginning of the month and you end up having tier due - say US $15 - then LL will take that amount from your payment method. You 'starting' and 'ending' balances would still be US $0 though because you didn't start with a US $ balance and LL did not leave you with one. So in that case, what you spent during the month would need to be determined by looking at the other values.
However, let's say you sold some L$ sometime in Dec that resulted in US $25 and you left that money on your account. Then your 'starting balance' for Jan is that $25 amount. If you then had some tier due during them month - say US $15 - then LL would take the $15 out of your account balance and the resulting $10 would be your 'ending balance'. In this case, you can subtract the $10 ending balance from the $25 starting balance and properly get the $15 that was spent for tier that month.
To continue the scenario, for Feb, your starting balance is US $10. If you again owed $15 for tier, they would take the $10 that is sitting on your account and another $5 from your payment method, resulting in an ending balance of $0. Now, again, since starting and/or ending balance is $0, you cannot determine what you spent just by looking at those two numbers.
Now after LL took their $15, leaving you with a $0 balance, even if you again sold some L$ and that resulted in $30 as your account balance, you still cannot tell what you spent just by looking at the $10 starting balance and the $30 ending balance.
Side note - the 'balance adjustment' is also the term they use when they adjust for money they took from your payment method. Here is what mine looked like the last time my Premium membership was due for renewal. I didn't start out with any US $ balance; they billed me for my membership, and then adjusted for the money they took directly from my payment method.
Ah thanks so much, that's super helpful!

I'm not a part of their moderator team, I just frequent their sim a lot and I'm often there when this user starts griefing/crashing the server/etc. Every one of his accounts has been blocked and banned by the sim, he just makes a new one and comes back. Note that the sim requires you to have payment info and be age verified.
I'm curious as to what LL can do about somebody like this. The sim owner is disabled and gets really, really worked up about this stuff. I usually just leave sims that have this problem but the owner often gets drunk and threatens to shut down the sim over this one guy and I can't imagine there's nothing LL can do.

Again, standard accounting terms. An adjustment in brackets is a negative adjustment. And yes, if it says USD, it's in dollars, not L$. If you want to know how much you spent, subtract the ending balance from the starting balance. If you want to have details, look at all the other entries.
Sorry, accounting stuff is overwhelming to me. The starting/ending balance was always 0 (regardless of how much activity there was) so I wasn't sure what to make of them. Thanks a bunch!

These are pretty standard accounting terms. So,
starting balance is the amount of L$ that you had before the transaction happened,
ending balance is the amount of L$ that you have after the transaction,
recurring mainland fees are the land fees that you are paying each month for your parcel,
balance adjustment is a correction for an error somewhere (LL often uses that category if they need to recover stolen L$, for example),
L$ Quick Buy it the amount of L$ that you received for buying L$ on the LindeX at the Market rate
Value Added Tax (VAT) is the tax that you pay to your local government if you happen to live in a place where that it relevant (like Europe)
Ah, thank you so much! It says (USD) above those terms, though, so do you mean $ instead of L$? And also, does that mean the balance adjustment is money I successfully spent, or is it money that was returned because it didn't go through? Sorry for all the questions!

I'm currently trying to add up how much money I've spent and I'm not sure how to interpret the different categories. There's...
- Starting balance
- Recurring mainland fees
- Balance adjustment
- L$ Quick buy
- Value added tax
- Ending balance
Do I just add up each number from each category and that's how much I've spent? Balance adjustment is in brackets, so do I ignore that? Thanks!

My friend is letting me live on his parcel. I don't have to pay, but I'd like to do something to pay him back and I wondered if my "free" 1024 sqm could be used to lower the maintenance cost of his place, since that's how it would work if I wanted to personally own somewhere bigger than that.

What do you need doing? I've got some experience and I'd be happy to help, depending on what you're asking for. :matte-motes-big-grin:

At least 200 prims
The cheaper the better, but L540 is the max I'd be able to pay on a weekly basis
No limitations as to what I can do with the land. So, terraform if I want, change the name, make it private, maybe use it as a store, ect.
Uh I'm really bad at visualizing the size of things, but my old place used to have an area of 1020 m2 and that was perfect, maybe that's useful info.
Just a heads up, I'll have some breedables staying there, if that matters.
Not really sure if I'm asking for too much, new to this.

I want to double check before I upload anything, sorry if I'm in the wrong place.
I'm using blender to make an avatar head and I'm wondering- If I make something with individual meshes and then export them as one collada file altogether, will SL recognize each individual mesh as being it's own face that I can retexture individually, or do I have to upload each mesh individually and then link them together in-game?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I can't find anywhere else so.. sorry if I'm in the wrong place.
Basically, I'm terible at socializing. My first ever account was made in early to mid 2013, and I somehow managed to make tons of great friends. Now I've come back with a new account in 2015 and I just can't do it.
I can't even remember how I made my old friends, I didn't approach them, it just kinda happened. It seems so much harder to do now, for me, and I don't know why :\
I'm able to make friends in other games, like TF2 and TTT, where being social isn't a huge part of it, but with SL I'm completely stuck :matte-motes-frown:

Bellisseria connection issues, anybody else?
in Linden Homes
Posted
I love having a little home area but I've found that, living in Bellisseria, it's 50/50 if I'll be able to login to my home or just need to visit a public sandbox to make avatars instead. It's a shame because I don't remember having this issue before.
I'll always prefer LL homes over commercially sold plots, I'm just wondering if it's "smarter" to go back to maybe an older theme and wait for Bellisseria to smooth out the kinks?
Could it just be the area my house is in?
