The most recent are messed up. It is a big mess.

whatever there doing It's GREAT! for me. best sales Month in a few years. July was the worst In Years. August is red Hot. Like the Old days. Now...If this could stay and,,, get back the SOD,EL and Footage Im a Very Happy Camper. Almost feel Like saying Im sorry.

I noticed that my (new) files with id higher than 43000000 not sale anymore. From 1. aug. 2016. my sales decreased for about 70 %. This is my verified data.

This is a fact. In Aug 2016 for the first time my small DT portfolio beat big SS portfolio.

I send ticket to SS, waiting for an answer.

Best regards,

Stockman

Maybe Aug is a month for typical fluctuation. Who knows?!

lol rinderart post a couple days before -post found :
rinderart: "now, wait for a new bunch to come in here to say, "what problem??? i just had my bme!!!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!+1000

What a mess this whole business is. really sad. And I totally Believe they have no Idea."

Funny

Yes they are a great company when they are selling MY FILES.......human nature of course but hardly an objective measure

still in the first week in this, I can see that popular images are getting downloads as usual, while some old files are getting dl's too, after a long time. However the overall impression is that downloads are somewhat the same but you can't really tell, because it could be attributed to normal monthly fluctuations.

before 2012 search was activated by accidental, you'll be back to recent in no time.

Looks like the "Most Recent" is back to the way it should be.

"Popular" is still broken..

Seriously!?  It's the Shutterstock forum.  Take a wild guess. 

Anyone else noticed, that some of the sales don't show on a map? I had 1 sale yesterday and 1 today, and neither of them showed up on a world map.

... yes randomly - and now my last 3 sales does not show on map

They would say map is for just fun...

My map (last 8 files)  frozen yesterday  too.  I have 30 new sales but not shown on map.

Map stopped working yesterday, my most popular now seem to be what they were a year ago, my top-selling images have suddenly been pushed down the page in the most popular results by random images that have nothing to do with the relevant keywords, killing sales. And now even fewer "new" images are selling...the newest selling now go back 6 months.

It's very sad to see SS going this direction...they were the stock site I could count on for years. If I uploaded decent images with good keywords in current niches, I could pretty much count on sales rising. No more.

The map is working fine for me.......however sales are a disaster...I know which I'd prefer to be working well.

Decent August so far but SS is still one giant screwup and I really fear they are on a dwindling slope to nowhere.
