I think the last real improvement to the contributor experience there was about 2008.

Since then it has been nothing but exciting news.

Maybe the improvement means rolling it back a few years....

(ok. Wishful thinking)

I miss the global sales map. I guess that's a part of history now.

It's gone?

Oh no, it's still there and they added a +/- so you can zoom in? Still looks terrible and why do I want to zoom in on a useless Blue Dot? Scroll down.

You also now have to hover over a blue dot one at a time to see what sold and where. Previously they were displayed as thumbnails on the map and in a "most recent" list on the right.

Ah I see the map now. Though mine doesn't show the whole globe. I also get broken thumbnails when I let the cursor hover over the blue spots - probably because I closed my photo port on SS.

It's a pity that this map doesn't show video sales because that's all I sell on SS these days. Also, I'd like to see my sales info on the main page as well instead of having to go to another page to learn about the details of each sale. This main page is now just mostly wasted space.

Yes to that and all of the above. We have to hover over them one at a time and the globe is not the full width of the box. But they added a zoom? What happened to seeing what we sold, oh "sorry that's not available"

But they found room to spam up the entire top of the page with hints, tips and promotions?

It is there but you do not get a visual representation of what sold where unless you click on each dot. Which means trawling through them all and remembering what had already sold and where. The list of sales doesn't state where it sold any longer.

That's the experience on the mobile version.
