admin: Transaction Log Problems

So far as I can tell, this is a random occurrence of google docs. I created a test one and tried with a few friends and pretty much the same thing happened.
I need quick clarification:
a.) Can you use the new Transaction Log?
b.) Can you see the new Transaction Log Spreadsheet?
Options
1.) If you can record but not see, we can wait for Google to--whatever--or I'll keep creating a transaction log a day and when one starts working, I'll switch.
2.) You can also keep using the old transaction log.
3.) You can record transactions here.
4.) You can have your very own custom transaction log in your spreadsheet.
For four, it's very doable and I have a working copy, but as imagina and I figured out, no matter how well something works for one person, it will not work for the next, and everything starts over again. It's a fairly basic UI that would be pretty much teh same as the main transaction log, but pop up when you open your spreadsheet and select it.
It will not be ready until probably April, though I may start beta testing it earlier.

The new spreadsheets will go out staggered over the next two weeks while I integrate the pages in. It's not going to be an entire new workbook, just new pages, with the old ones renamed so history can be integrated and so I can fiddle with the scripting. Do not panic, your current will still be there and still be working while we move everything, which is more practical than creating them anew.
Allopen and Nafs (I know you emailed me! I wasn't online that one night, gah), I still need to test with both of you. Please email or message me ASAP so we can start.
If you don't have time to meet, a tutorial will be up sometime this month. It's fairly straightforward once we move all the transactions, so don't panic.
