With normal uploading and indexing, you can change the default to no.  It will usually stay this way for a couple of days then change back without warning.  Several people have complained about this, but they may as well have been pissing into the wind.  You just have to keep an eye out every time you index.  Better yet, don't upload anything that will get rejected.   

As for the app, I'm not familiar with that so can't help you there.

Did anybody get payment or we are just a small group who didnt get it yet?

Must be a small group.  I received my May payment (via PayPal) on the 7th.  Located in U.S.

I'll take back my small group comment.  Apparently this is somewhat widespread.  Several people over on the SS forum are commenting about the same thing.  Hopefully an administrator will pop in there and clarify the issue.

I've been paid as early as the 7th and as late as the 9th.  This month, with the reporting delay caused by the Turkey issue, it may go slightly longer, but no later that the 15th which is their stated drop-dead date.

So I had a sale today and under the ID of the sold file, there is some new line: ---> via "ID and link to a design with sold photo".

Is thios something new or I just haven't had it before?

Like this:

04. junij 2016    MALEiEvsbUZk
→ via MACC1Hd7XkaI

Nothing new.  That's the sale of a "template" which is something someone has made that incorporates one or more of your images.  That's one of the nice things about CANVA.  Someone can buy one of your images (and you get paid) and use it in an original composition; then, put that composition up on CANVA as a template for others to buy and use.  Whenever anyone subsequently purchases that template for their use, you get paid again for your image(s).  I had a couple last month that used three of my images for a single template.  That template was then used by others three different times and I received nine commissions for those three template purchases (3x3=9).

Edited to add the image number listed after "via" is not the finished composition, but rather the template that someone made up using your image.  Someone else then purchased that template to make up their own final composition.  Thus MALEiEvsbUZk is your original image and MACC1Hd7XkaI is the template that was made and was purchased by the end user.

As I noted elsewhere, relax.  All to do with the payment problems in Turkey.

Same in the U.S.  Memorial day.  Unofficial start of Summer.  Nice long 3-day weekend.  Back to the old grind on Tuesday, 31 May.

Did it have an I.D. ear tag visible?  That's typically the reason they reject livestock images.  Otherwise you just hit one of their many clueless reviewers.  Just resubmit.

After months of daily sales, everything suddenly stopped 7 days ago.  No sales what-so-ever.  I checked my port and all looks OK. Nothing obviously wrong.  Anyone else seen this dramatic of a decline recently?

The handwriting was on the wall when they lowered the minimum payout from $100 to $35.  They knew full well then that earnings were going to drop drastically due to whatever changes they were putting in place and they needed to make the change to keep the lower earners mollified.  Otherwise it could be months or longer between payouts for them.  They also needed to do that to keep their accounts payable numbers at a reasonable level for accounting reasons.

Stats Looked strange this morning.  I had a sale that showed on the map and was recorded on the monthly income page (just a record of the sale and which image it was) but the commission value was not shown and the cumulative value did not reflect anything.  Later, everything appeared correctly and it's been fine since.

Once upon a time, iStock being down felt like a major disaster.... not so much now.
Anyway, it seems to be working for me now.

Yes, there was a time when checking IS stats was important.  Definitely not the case anymore.  These days I only look about once a week or so just to see it there has been any activity.  Things seem to be back to normal this morning ... at least what passes for normal.  Some sales during the preceding week, but only subs apparently and only sporadic.  Nothing more or less than I had expected.  Continued disappointment. 

I had payments from SS, 123 and Canva successfully this month.  Nothing yet from IS, but I don't remember when they said they would send payments (account zeroed first of the month).  The PayPal site was acting screwy this morning, but finally allowed me to transfer money to my bank account.  Don't know if that has anything to do with the problems with Pond5 or not.  I never bothered to sign up with them.
