Did other contributors to DT get (e-mail) a May newsletter today?

It's May 17th and the most recent item in the "News" section is May 12th - the other two items are from April.

The picture is of a family in wooly hats blowing snow.

The only other items are listing the current "On Assignment" and featured contributor - some stats are at the bottom. One interesting thing is that DT lists 47,558 images are pending while iStock lists only 35,459 (although that's up from about 20K a couple of weeks back).

What's the point of a newsletter with no current news? wouldn't something about the price and royalty changes have been a good idea?

My port is so small I usually don't worry too much about fluctuations.  But 29 DL's in April and in May only 2 so far?  That is hitting a stone wall no matter how you calculate the statistics.  Other sites are about on par for me, SS is even up a bit over last month.

Does this mean DT has the same sales but it went to other portfolios or is DT down across the board?

Me too.  Sales for May a WAY down.  But, I've noticed in the past that there seems to be a cyclic pattern ... Search engine change, perhaps?

PS:  never noticed such drastic changes in the pattern.  Wondering what part all the "testing" plays in the Ups and Downs?

This year, I had 8 DLs in January, 13 in February, 18 in March, then the upward trend came to a grinding halt with 4 DLs in April and 5 so far this month.  I'm $3.55 away from payout, and my last sale was on the 15th.  Grrrrrr.

Sales at DT seem to pick up in the last couple days of the month.
It's only the 22nd - anything could still happen.

Fine example of how the forum works ... shut up or get out.  If you can't beat 'em; ban 'em.   ::)

I have constant mixed feelings about DT, it doesnt look bad lately but still quite low/stagnated, will see next months..

Yep. And I don't think I was being rude or discourteous.

I have a Romanian friend who recently told me, regarding her struggles with sharing her feelings, that the "F*@#ing communists trained them to be strong."

I think that, and growing up under Ceausescu makes the concept of freedom of expression, a difficult one for some Romanians.
