Obviously I meant 32mgb of ram...It's a typo. No computer could run on 32 miiligrams. There has never been a computer that could...:-)

I totally agree with you too and now I am posting in 2014 and having the same prob. I never had this prob on my old imac with 256 mb ram on the graphics card. i just spent a huge amount of money on a new Imac with 32 mg ram and 4mb of dedicated graphics and I have the problem the first time on FS and it is driving me crazy. Frankly i don't think i can spend more on a computer if I tried.... I don't believe it is my computer. And if I am stuck with it, lol, then i see no reason to pay over $300US for a private sim to watch the problem on it. I think SL needs to fix this. Perhaps things have changed with this prob since 2013 when this message was first posted - I am posting now in 21014 but I have never had this prob before and, as i say it is driving me crazy.I think something else is going on here. It's a bug ....

At the end LL admitted it had gone wrong and gave me $L1000. I can't tell you how insulted this made me feel..After 3 months of about 50 cries for help to support, countless days worrying about how to get money, having to buy Lindens out of world at a higher price, not having access to my credit card, pay pal or any other kind of SL payment method, using up thousands of RL dollars of my own RL time trying to fix this. I think the the word BETA is being used very loosely here. It's not actually a BETA at all. They brought in a new payment method for 'international' users. Right from the start it didn't work. You could call it a failed attempt. Sounds nicer to call it a Beta.The problem is that when they were aware it was not working they did not close it down and put me back on the main payment system (which i am now back on again).Because, hey, it was a Beta not a failure. Support was no help. Eventually I realised that Support could not help. On one support ticket they actually suggested that I, a resident of Australia, ring the Isle Of Man in the UK, to speak to Payment Support. That was their only solution. Finally I managed to get an email address for Payment Support but guess what, they couldn't help either. And when I saw yesterday that my house had gone on to a 'BETA ' as well you can imagine how I felt. My question is: how many 'BETAs' does an Avi have to endure? And in case you are wondering - I am paying the $1000 back. I don't want LL's money.This is not a money issue, I only quantified my own time like that to try and get through to the folks involved here. What I wanted was respect, consideration and to be treated like everyone else, who had access to the payment system

3 months ago I was, without my knowledge or consent, put on a beta payment program. This meant I could not buy Lindens for 3 months. Then a month before my Premium membership was due I was taken off the beta so that my credit card could be charged :) Now I suddenly find that my LInden Home's control panel has gone on to a beta and yes, it no longer functions. Why doesn't anyone at LL understand that a BETA program is an experimental one that the user VOLUNTEERS for. So far none of the BETA programs I have been forced onto have worked and no one cares. I guess my house will be on BETA for he next 3 months. I am giving it back now. I can't wait.

Well 3 months ago I was, without my knowledge or consent, put on a beta payment program. This meant I could not buy Lindens. I wrote to Support for 3 months. Nothing. Then a month before my Premium membership was due I was taken off the beta so that my credit card could be charged Now I suddenly find that my LInden Home's control panel has gone on to a beta and yes, it no longer functions. Why doesn't anyone at LL understand that a BETA program is an experimental one that the user VOLUNTEERS for. Will I complain to Support about this? What would be the point? It just wears me out. It will be far easier to give up the Linden home and then - what is the use of having a Premium membership?

Ok thx Ishtara I'll try that - but i am not sure local payments include International. But thanks for the advice.I appreciate it. I doubt, from their track record so far, that support can even do that though.

[RESOLVED 8:58 AM] Issue with Local Payments has been resolved, and billing has returned to normal processing. No they have not!!! It has been over a month since Payment servers have refused to process my perfectly valid functional credit card and despite trying to re-link it this morning after this announcement the process still times out due to the servers' problems admitted to by Payment support. I am quite desparate. I can't buy LIndens at all, except thru a 3rd party xchange (they can process my card!). I am worn out trying to report these probs to support - who then try and get me to ring the Isle of Mann from Australia, instead of fixing the problem. It is very sad when a hard working 4 year old avi who has contributed a lot to SL is considering leaving because of something like this. I can't stand this anymore. As an international user in Australia I feel I am being discriminated against and left out in the cold.

You can buy LIndens from Virwox.com and others.Yes I 'd prefer to buy them form the Linden exchange but atm some folks like myself can't. There is a systems problem with the LInden payment servers etc etc which has been going on for months now. No one seems to really care about the folks like me who have been left penniless, are unable to buy LIndens inworld or on the SL webpage and have had to resort to buying from 3rd party xchanges.
