Same here

I guess theirs servers are not syncronized and some are more uptodate them the others.

Yes this has happened a lot in the past but it all goes right after a little while

Yes, there are some problems. First sales show up, and then dissapear. Also earnings dissapear. But they will eventually show up again. But it takes some time.

But these are stats in the same browser on the same computer. When I looked 1/2 hour ago my earnings page showed two more sales than earnings by date, but just now, earning by date shows two more sales than earnings�but both still show fewer sales overall than I had three hours ago.

Yes, it happens to me too. But even if you are in the same browser, each time you refresh a different server will be targeted. SS does not have a single server. Maybe the discrepancy is also being caused by a backend process they are performing (backup, server migration, etc...).

The most important is what Dumc said, the sales must show up again later on!

OK, it's out of control...I've had 35 sales appear and disappear within minutes. And I can't upload vectors. 

The whole system has been acting up in the last 2 days. Can't upload and sales are disappearing and reappearing.

same with me, sales appear and disappear

Totally crazy. Money total increases with an ODD but no ODD showing in sales. Then later the ODD shows up in sales and the money total reduces to what it was before the ODD. Fortunately the amount with ODD was a pallindrome and I screen snapped it with time code so I have proof. 

Edit: 10 minutes later and it's back to where it should be!

Hello,
me too !

I 've sent an email to SS.

Well, sending emails to SS is a BIG JOKE! Sorry dude, u need to wait month or two for any answer :/

the solutions is to stop checking your stats every five minutes.

Yeah.  Stick your head in the sand so if your getting boned you don't see it happen. 

I get all nostalgic remembering when SS was among the highest functioning sites......

Stats Looked strange this morning.  I had a sale that showed on the map and was recorded on the monthly income page (just a record of the sale and which image it was) but the commission value was not shown and the cumulative value did not reflect anything.  Later, everything appeared correctly and it's been fine since.

Everything seems to be back to normal.

Sales disappear at our end and emails disappear at SS's end. NOT A JOKE!

That was before it was "improved" and given new functionality.

It is like this for all the sites improving their functionalities*� (somebody call this "progress")

* Improving functionalities: a way to f..k deeper the contributor

Confucius famously said :
 'If it's not in the bank then don't bank on it'.  He later amended this in 2009 with 'unless it's in a Cyprus bank in which case don't bank on it at all'.

Awfully sloppy Month. I find it hilarious and quite depressing at what we get used to as compared to 3 years ago. And "ALAMY" is now #2???  Wow.

I think someone it's trolling Alamy or Alamy trolling us. All you need is a few accounts and a few fake votes to push that number up. I highly doubt it's real. The rise was too sudden.

I think Alamy as number 2 is real.  The rise is probably because people from their forum have put their earnings in the poll.

I think your right about that, but it still doesn't exactly make the numbers real.  If people don't contribute to the (other) micros, and post only one site in a microstock poll, its gonna skew the results.  Wasn't that the reason istock exclusives were given a special category?

And 123RF being number 9 is not real. It is much better agency. I know it varies for everyone, but for me, it's number 3.

I think a realistic and truthful position of Alamy would be about number 10. Its sudden climb cannot be taken seriously.

I just do photos and 123rf are usually my 4th best earner although some months Alamy overtake them.

Also, i'm not Jeff Lebowski .

This past year so far SS has been a fraction of what I'm earning on Alamy (net, not gross) due to both a significant increase in my earnings at Alamy and a sharp decline on SS. My SS sales the past couple of months have been at an all time low - about equal to when I started and had a fraction of the images I have now.

I was happy to see an uptick in SS stock and an uptick in earnings, but the fact that the uptick in number of files online is a multiple of earnings growth does much to explain why many people are seeing a drop in earnings there. To be frank, I've also been concentrating on adding new work on Alamy while my SS portfolio hasn't grown much at all. RM and higher end RF just seems like a better bet to me right now, though I'd still consider putting American editorial images on SS over Alamy as they seen to do better there.

Alamy is also growing at an alarming rate, but a few good sales each month can add significantly to your earnings there while good income on SS relies on volume. I've never seen so many days on SS without a single sale than I have the past couple of months.

Fotolia is growing but it's not "on fire" yet for me.

I'm not on 123rf so can't comment there.
