   My PP sales are not showing yet. Anyone sees them or they didn't start processing?

No, nothing here yet

Looking over at the iStock forums, it seems there's a thread about this on the Partner Program forum each month, and last month it started on August 27th.
IIRC it used to be about mid-month but has crawled later and later.
I'm not sure what you could expect this month after the shenanigans with the cash sales messup, when they can't even report iStock's own sales properly.

The longer they delay the payment, the more money for them. I don't expect them to pay more promptly in the future.

As a somewhat related aside, this week I saw about 90 more files from my older images make it over to Thinkstock (after a few months when nothing was moving from the backlog even though new images mostly made it over)

I'm noticing some "selectivity."  There seems to be someone (or a group of someone) reviewing files just for Thinkstock.  And, it doesn't seem to be based on quality.

?? You mean someone is reviewing only files that certain exclusives may have directed to go solely to TS, not to iS?

NO... I don't know anything about exclusives.  I'm just saying that of 20 of my accepted images at iS, maybe 3-5 are seen on TS.  There seems to be specific criteria.  I just don't know what the criteria is.

I think it's just the luck of the connector. It's the same with exclusive images being, or not being, mirrored on Grtty.

AFAIK, they're not inspected again for TS.

lol criteria lol

The connector doesn't work correctly but they don't care too much just as long as they get a few thousand a week new photos on there to keep the subscription customers happy enough to not go to shutterstock

   Now the we has passed and absolutely nothing for me...
   Strange, the past week  was a slow down in sales, and now I don't have views. Images approved for a week with 0 views. And I checked older images and waited 2-3 days-no views. Anyone noticed something like this?

I don't submit to the PP, but again there is not word that the PP money has started to come this month. You might have to wait another two weeks.

And if you are talking about no views on iStock - it's one of many breaks and bugs that have unsurprisingly happened when they introduced Cash Sales and haven't been fixed in the intervening two weeks.

Keep reading the bugs thread:
http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=346751&page=1 and various other posts over there.

   Yes, I'm talking about no views and no sales at istock. After a good first week of september, now it's dead.

   I've checked again: absolutely no views. Now I wonder if the files cannot be seen, or the views are not listed. And so I wonder if any eventual sales aren't listed as well...cause it's curious how I am not selling anything.

Commissions posted at StockXpert (Hemera Collection); not sure how that relates to iS PP postings?

They can be seen, views are not being recorded via iStock or DM, but I think I've read about an app or a Greasemonkey script or something which reords them.

That said, I've had six views between the 18 files I've had accepted since everything got broken, but I did notice that at least two of them were viewed directly after acceptance, before they were visible from my port. So maybe somehow if they're being viewed from 'recent acceptances' these are being recorded.

Honestly, loads of things are broken. Check out the iStock forums. It looks like my port is totally hidden except for one dollar bin/value collection, which has suddenly hit a hot spot! (I know that's not literally true, I checked when logged out and the files are still there.)

Good to know.  Probably means Istock PP sales will begin to show next weekend.
