You don't remember that one day where the sky fell, and... uh, but it... oh wait... never mind.

Post by: sharpshot on November 24, 2009, 04:06: Mine never went away but they are well down on previous months, so perhaps they have done something?

Post by: lisafx on November 24, 2009, 18:29: Glad to hear SS is offering OD to customers again. I was still getting a few trickling in from credits already purchased, but it will be nice to see them pick back up.

Post by: eppic on November 24, 2009, 19:58: I love the OD's; such a nice reprieve from the paltry subscription royalties!

They actually did. You, me and many others didn't notice, because we were still getting previously purchased downloads. They were about to be gone because I was getting less and less everyday.

Good that they will pick up again!

Post by: fotografer on November 27, 2009, 03:06: What I meant was that I have had more OD sales this month than other months. I have so far made 40$ more on OD sales than I did last month so I didn't notice any change for the worse. Saying that I guess that it would have been even better without the changes.

Post by: cidepix on November 27, 2009, 07:42: Could have been better without the changes, I agree. But what I meant was better or not, had SS not brought them back, all of us were doomed to have zero ODs, very soon.

Post by: mwp1969 on November 27, 2009, 14:06: I just got an OD at my new commission rate of $2.48 so I am very happy that they appear to be here to stay at least for now ...

Don't know, nothing ever changed for me. I get subs and ELs and that's about it.

Post by: lisafx on December 02, 2009, 11:20: I have seen a big upswing in OD sales this week. Before they had slowed to a trickle.

I'm very glad SS has started selling them again. :)

Post by: Karimala on December 03, 2009, 21:06: I hope next time SS conducts an experiment like this, they do it when there isn't a major gift-giving holiday the next month. All those missing OD sales means less money for Christmas. :(

Good to see the ODs are back!

Post by: goldenangel on December 04, 2009, 15:22: It's great to see they are back and more than usual for me. I even had the same picture sold twice OD on the same day :)
