They don't know what to reek themselves on. (which is local for 'they don't know what to do')

I think this is related to another thread here on the change to the "Most Popular" match. It seems they've removed the old "Most Popular" match (which was really just "by downloads"), and replaced it with what used to be "Fresh Match".

That seems to be the case and if you allow the files data to show it is obvious. Searching my own lightbox, images with no DLs come before some with many DLs. Also images with hundreds of DLs are bested by more recent image with just 10 or 20. Unfortunately this is killing my best selling images. My Vetta with 600 Dls just keeps falling further away and seems to be penalized rather than favored while others of mine in the same search rank high. All that said I am having the best week of the year with buyers somehow able to find and buy my older but best sellers which are still as good as any in those searches.
