I think the pledge total was necessary when we were planning to have the max/limit apply to that before payment processor fees and carry-overs, but with the new approach discussed in the "How the limit works" thread, I agree this subtotal is not necessary. > * items that did not contribute to a months spending can be omitted for > clarity.

Notifications can be used to communicate all details. I strongly disagree with this. I think omitting this information creates lack of clarity. I think we should assume that users will rarely look at the history, but that when they do, it's because they want to understand where their money went (or didn't) and why. That includes knowing that it where it did *not* go that they might have expected it to go, e.g. to a suspended project, and knowing why they were *not* charged that month, i.e. because balance was carried over. > * I also like keeping the history tab consistent with the running months > matching tab. I do not think consistency with the main dashboard view should be a goal here. They have very different purposes. The purpose of the main dashboard view is to show your limit, your current pledges, your amount available to crowdmatch others, and especially the *relationship* between these. This means it makes sense to use a lot of space to make the relationship clear. In contrast, the purpose of the history is to clearly and concisely show and explain a historical record of transactions. A familiar format like an account statement, that makes efficient use of space is much better here, in my view.
