Hi it wasnt so much a help page..but I thought about the different way I now have to purchase lindens, phoenix viewer wont let me do it now and I recalled how I had to do that, via this new payment method. So I investigated further..decided to reinsert my credit card info again "just incase", to be faced with "if you do this you may experience a break in your SL service" type message. Forged ahead blindly anyway..and was taken to a page where I had to manually "pay" my bill. After paying this way I was then told "you can now use your acount normally" (or something close to that) so..I sort of wondered if I was about to be put on hold anyway.scarey. This is different than the automated way we used to have,where they just took it from you and emailed that they had..and Im still unsure if each month I will have to do this or they will do it for me..cant wait for next month :smileysad:

Terrific

What a fandango! Who messed up tier collections? Ive had a credit card on file with LL for 4 years now..yet this month..they didnt collect what I owed them..I waited a day..still nothing. Soo I got onto concierge live chat and asked why they didnt want my cash, was told by ******scout that LL had been rather busy with roll backs and theyd get around to it, but NOT to worry as there was no problem with my credit card..they just hadnt done it yet (or even attempted too) I questioned about the problems theyd had with local payments but ****** scout was adament..sit back and wait. So I did.. 5 days later..still a negative amount showing on my account..no emails saying there was a problem..no emails saying theyd taken my cash..I was worried. So i looked up the freephone number for *billing support*, spoke to a lovely chap who although very sweet couldnt do anything as Iam a *non USA resident*..umm ok..so why have a UK free phone number for billing support then??? He gave me a number to call, which was unrecognised and unusuable ~le-sigh~ , again no mention of any problems when I asked..just theyd been "busy".. Called billing *support if youre in the USA* again to double check this number and got a REALLY grumpy mumbling guy, who so didnt want to deal with me..was told *nothing I can do for you, youre in the UK*...is this support? I wonder if now we appear to be split into two catergories of US resident who gets support and non US resident who gets nil...do we pay less ??? Eventually procurred an email adress from grunpy guy..and used it...to receive a totally confusing email back..saying I had to buy more lindens to cover the negative amount..it appears that the new payment system works this way...wouldnt it have been SUPER if all their staff knew this and could explain to residents facing this situation? Ive never had to pay tier this way and its not been communicated that I had too..eventually I wanderd the website..and happened across the new fangled way to do it merely by chance...IF I had followed the advice given to me by Live chat..I presume my account wouldve been put on hold for non payment by now, and Id be writing one of those *my account is on hold and I dont know why* posts here. Absolutely rubbish way to handle this LL..inform people of your changes..and make sure your staff on the *I only help US residents* line and the *concierge live chat* actually know of them also...basic business rules when implemeting change is to inform inform inform...keeps everyone happy :manmad:

Or at least that is what I've heard anyway. Are there warnings on these coffee machines about the the beverage temperature?" You may have found yourself a gold mine! welll it does say *beverages are hot*, it just lacks one word, that would be *scalding* :smileysurprised: (why when I try to reply to posts does it take me back to the forums lists, then I have to come back and do it again pffft) (ooo thats another complaint!) eta to fix weird spell check error

My complaint is against the manufacturers of hot drinks vending machines. Whoever decided that a fairly fragile, flimsy plastic cup was the correct vessel for a scalding hot drink, obviously has a fetish for thick gloves of a fire proof nature. Why does the machine fill the cup right to the top? You cant sip away the excess to make it safe for carrying as its likely to remove lip flesh. ~le-sigh~

However, none of us know much about advertising, and we need to hire more people. We put an application at the front of the club, we are in the search menu, and for awhile I was able to post our special events on the SL website, however I'm not able to do that anymore, and I'm told this is because I'm not an "admin" on the sim, and my boss has no idea how to make me one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estate manager is what you need to be, however this role comes with a lot of responsibility. If youre new I could understand why the sim owner might be worried about giving that permission. If the estate owner rents the sim, they might not be able to give that role anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My bosses put a lot of money into this, they bought the land, built the club themsevles, and even built a mall there (which we are still working on getting sellers to join up). When I was strugglling with my linden home, they were nice enough to build me a larger home and rent it to me.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its very sweet that you worry aboutt his, but it is the owners problem, not yours. Clubs are a dime a dozen in SL, you can always find work in one . (but I understand the relationship with the owners and how you wish to help) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We've come up with several ideas, including paying the dancers hourly (though they can only afford to pay four hours a week) and of course the dancer gets her tips too. However, we keep losing people or ending up with our djs flaking out on us etc. Any tips on where I could go to hire people for this gig? If we don't have dancers we don't have patrons, and with no patrons then the dancers aren't going to stick around....I'm at my wits end trying to come up with ideas on how to get the word out about our club so we can hire some people and get the place really moving! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I owned a club back in 2007, I paid the dancers for a session lasting 2 hours, until their tips picked up and it became more popular. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard there was a forum for hiring people, but silly me can't seem to find it. Could someone point me in the right direction, and perhaps if anyone has any advertising tips for an adult sim that would be fantastic ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .Ive seen groups inworld that supply club staff, dancers, hostess dj etc..might be worth looking for those in search. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do know many clubs are a labour of love and reap no financial returns whatsoever these days "moneypit" springs to mind thanks everyone in advance for your help! -glitter

I kick him, he's sent away then returns. All while still on the estate ban list. This is getting old. What is going on here? Are you banning him with the land options or using the estate box? If youre banning him form the parcel hes on, he can return to another parcel..just a thought

easiest solution is to ask the person who gave it to you, if it was a mistake, offer to return it. If you cant recall the name of the person who gave it to you, check your transaction history on this web site, it will show the amount & name of the person who paid it.
