The way you speak of 'switching it off' has me visualising a contraption at their end with bakelite switches.

I thought it was done by a rotating mechanical thing powered by a watermill.

LOL!  I thought it was powered this way:

I figured the hampster just needed a rest

Apparently it used to be the hamster's job but he was one of the staff members they had to 'let go' a few months back. Too expensive. 

That explains it! 

Umm... I too see that my Istock total jumped up a few days ago - is there a place to see the Partner Program total for the month? When I go to PP link on my Istock account it just shows me my files with total downloads (both PP and Istock).

Yes. 

1. Click on your balance at the bottom to get to your stats page
2. Scroll down to your contributor stats and click the month back to April
3. Change the "daily" drop down to monthly
4. Your PP are the green bars.  Place your cursor on the green bar for the month and it will tell you what the total PP is for that month (it will give you current as well while PP is still being tabulated for that month)
5. You can also click the CSV icon and download a spreadsheet of the sales.
6. PP does not give you a summary of which images provide the make-up of your sales.

Hope this helps.

...Anyone get paid through the end of April?  My stats show the 28th through 30th still aren't there.  Do we have to wait another week just to get paid for the last three days of the month

I have the same thing you do - missing 28-30th.

I had also thought they were firing up the image transfer process after about a month of nothing. Friday and Saturday 50 or so images got transferred but then nothing.

It's like one of those cars that backfires and bucks and can't get over 20 miles an hour except on a steep downhill stretch...

They managed to get the PP royalties up to the 20th over a week ago, now, this past weekend, they only made it to the 27th?

Same here

I have nothing for 24 - 30 April

me too ... but port is small and not getting sales every day.

I'm a small fish on PP with only 80 images.(3d)
Here is my graph:

 

April 28 - 30 still missing...

My PP sales appear to have finished the month of April.  They are showing through the 30th now.  Not even a weekend!

finished here too I guess.. after 8 months over/close to 200 downloads, I have dropped to 175

Since February 2012 that my PP sales are dropping... but otherwise non-pp sales are increasing ( mean photo+ files ).
