I start searching from the bottom, and work my way up !

yeah - perhaps they should be linked to a profile page instead, but they search for the users images, which is what they were meant to do, although perhaps that is confusing?!

Ok here's what you need to do to solve the problem. Go to dreamstime and just head right into your management area and click the online files button. Now click on the title to sort files by downloads. The next thing you should do is select all the images with no sales .... now delete them all. LOL your DPI will skyrocket 

I think that's a pretty solid plan. I tell ya what since you and me are tied for DPI at DT you go ahead and try it first and then let me know if it works out.

I think it would actually work but only for some people. Like on DT I know that even though my DPI is only 2.5 about 80% of my sales are all XL, Max & this week I'm seeing TIFF sales (btw, are those new or something because I've never seen them before) anyway my point is my sub sales are around 10-12% and small-med is maybe 5% and large 5% of the total sales. So if I removed all the 0 sales then chances are I would lose a lot of higher-credit sales so there's a greater risk involved ... I know I've heard others talking about getting crazy sub sales like over 60% .. if that was the case then I would definitely think removing a lot of the 0 sales would be a good idea because they now have a better fighting chance of eventually getting closer to making a dollar per download.

I don't know .. I'm not brave enough to take the risk on something like that. After all it only takes the right person to throw a shot with 0 sales in their public collection one day and then you suddenly get a couple 50 credit EL's from it out of nowhere ... that and going through and deleting files seems like a lot of work. I have to force myself to upload as it is LOL

It would be good if USER could also be sorted alphabetically !?  If I want to see how well U are doing I have to search (from the top of course

Also the Rank dropdown doesn't seem to size very well, when I increase font size !? 

because I was fiddling with the system again and broke things.  It is fixed now - your stats should be displayed correctly and should be updated correctly too.

Yea thanks!

Sorry, I could have made that more clear.  It's not the search vs profile page I was pointing out.  It's that on the iStock rank page they link to searches at Dreamstime, not iStock like one would expect.  i.e. Why search for SJLocke images at Dreamstime.

 

Just looked at the ranking for iStock and found one guy who has 637 images online but no downloads, according to the rankings, but if u click his name and go to IS it says he he has >6700 downloads !?

How can this be    Surely this makes a farce of the rankings !?


p.s. got my first sale at IS yesterday and still no guage under my avatar !? 

NO !! not here anyway !?  Only the DT one

I look forward to that !  

Just noticed there's nothing showing on your IS ranking for <10 d/ls !!  is that the start point !?

?? all the istock sales numbers are rounded [down?] to hundreds - eg i have 698 sales, but it displays as 600.  the portfolio numbers are exact

bug or feature?

your gauge is now live.  I found a couple more bugs.  thanks for the patience.
