I see there is a thread on site. It seems we are now all being paid at the lowest rate. Wonderful.

I wish I'd taken a screenshot once I'd passed my target.
Yesterday the Balance figures were all over the place, but seemed to get sorted OK, so hopefully this will too.
How do they manage to break the system so often?
Must have been trying some new tweak. But why should they be tweaking something that affects our balance, or our RCs?
SNAFU

Oh i'm sure we'll get payed our now at-a-too-low-rate royalties retrospectively; in a couple of months some small random sum will be dumped in our accounts without notification first and thats that. Whether that amount will be correct, we'll never know; that they made sure of. (there is the possibility you'd have to send a mail to support first so they can keep what they took from the ones that dont follow forums etc. It's really the same with the zero-amount dl's for those opted in in the PP).

Is that list of screwups still somewhere around here? There's plenty of things to add in the meantime (refferal links over 600 characters long that nobody gets to work, zero amount dl's on TS, this, .....)

I notice a couple of posts in that thread on the point I brought up here a few months ago. That when you transition to a higher commission level, you don't "instantly" advance to that level as soon as you reach it. Instead, you have to wait 2-3 days until the system catches up with reality. Despite the fact that iStock's website claims you will immediately advance.

Maybe they were trying to fix that problem and broke everything? 

What the. Bad enough they broke it. And then the clock-watchers just bugger off home for the weekend. Incredible. Truly incredible.

As JoAnn says, if this can happen, what other accounting messes occur behind the scenes? We need proper sales reports. But we'll never get them. Jeez I'm pissed off.

This is no bug. They are just testing a new future feature

It's typical that there is absolutely nothing that can happen to contributors that merits spending one cent on overtime to the software engineers. They couldn't care less what level of service they supply to us - after all, we only give them 85% of our earnings (80% in Sean's case, if this ends up on the list of "bugs pending action") to keep their company going.

new base rate royalty. Much simpler for accounting.

Chill ppl, they're just getting ready to implement the canister levels back again

For one brief, Pollyanna moment, I shared that fantasy.

wouldn't that be nice. I would get a raise after all and not just some new bling. it looks like a bug. we'll see what happens to royalties earned during the 'outage', at least before sharpening pitchforks ;-)

This really is absurd and sad in a way, but I'm actually happy I'm not getting any sales since last night
