Title: SS desktop website reports less downloads
Post by: 60D on September 02, 2014, 10:42
Have anyone else noticed that number of downloads per images shown in mobile and desktop SS contributor websites are different? Desktop website normally show less number of downloads than what mobile site shows.

Since no one else answered, maybe a little bump will help. I don't look on my phone, only desktop or laptops.

But I will say, something as simple as my number of images is not the same in my port (where I edit) and when I go view as a search of the collection. That's something pretty simple and it's different numbers!  :) People are also reporting images that have no DLs have found keywords and some that have been downloaded, still show in "undiscovered" as no DL images.

All my photos show as Vectors, when I have no vectors. My illustrations are listed and counted twice in one place for the total images.

What I'm going to suggest is, the reporting is inaccurate and nothing to get worried about. True, it makes us ask which is the real number, but since you didn't say, I'll vote for the desktop version as better information. It's older software. How are the image stats when you look at a single image vs mobile?

Collections will show numbers for images, which one matches? Desktop or Mobile?

For a single image, normally mobile website shows more all-time downloads than desktop website. For some images, numbers are same.

So you are saying, if I login to SS from my phone, I'll see different numbers on SS than if I login from my desktop?

Or some other software for mobile vs the actual SS site.

I don't understand?

If both are the same SS site, different devices, it's just software., If it's some plugin or App, not the actual site, sounds interesting, but still not evidence of anything important.  :)

What I care about is the numbers on the payment page, each month.

This just does not add up...3 downloads? 2?
I just don't get it!

SS has released a new mobile app. Probably I should not worry about numbers in mobile website anymore.
