Seems very similar.  I'm not sure how long it would have taken me to notice the difference if you hadn't pointed it out.  No complaints here. 

Can't see my earnings for the current month without clicking. FAIL!

If you get a monthly payout the unpaid earnings ARE the earnings for the current month - pity DL numbers are gone though

What about the big bold earnings total at the top right??

Something's wrong. The homepage keeps redirecting me to the login page, where I have to enter the Captcha again. Then the homepage shows for two seconds and back again. But I'm still logged in, all other links are working fine 

Preferred number of downloads front and center on the home page. 
With this new system you have to dig a bit deeper.

Me too.  Looks like Bigstock now.  Except my numbers never change on BS.

Number of downloads for day and income month to date a big loss for me on the landing page. Told me in one glance what was happening / has happened on the day. Thought it was a bug or system glitch. BIG step backwards I would say. 

SS Siteboost doesn't work with that "new thing"...

I have yet to find anything more or less intuitive or useful, but I will say that I think it looks worse... just looks way less stylish than the last.

I'd agree. Seems slower too. Backward step IMHO.

Stock Performer doesn't work with it either.

As long as you make payout each month there's no change in the dollars listed.  But they should bring back the cumulative monthly download numbers.  I don't know why, but I could tell more about how things were moving by glancing at that figure than by the dollar amount.  I know I can go dig it out of the stats page, but why should we have to when it's so simple to list it on the landing page.  As to the rest, seems simple enough.  Just have to try it out for a couple of days to get a feel for it.  I agree it's not the best looking page on the planet, but do I really care about aesthetics ... nope.  Just ease of use.

I too miss the number of dl's.
I also find it interesting that under the tab 'portfolio' there is no link to your portfolio. Though there is still a link on the landing page I just find it odd.

Just came here to say the same thing, why no portfolio link? That seems crazy!

the landing page looks broken to me, perhaps there's still more work to be done.
i do like the drag n drop for uploading.

Somehow I'm lost every time I log in but that's normal with changes I guess.
DL number should return and it will if we all put in a request (here or at their support/forum)

Other then that I'll get used to it. At least they show us that they're trying to improve! trying new search tweaks, fixing bugs, update the site, promote our work, etc...
I'm already looking at a BME for earnings, DL's and EL's and it's not over yet! SS sure is something else. If this is summer slump, I can't wait for what's to come.

Keep it up SS!

It's done and over with and there is nothing more we can do about it.

I think he meant that the design is finished and will not be adjusted anymore but I doubt that, I'm sure they will add the dl's number back amongst other things.

That's it and when and if they add the DL's back the IT techs will forget a code somewhere that will screw up something else and create some dam bug that will eat away at something in the site giving everyone other issues other then the DL numbers.

That's the way the IT engineers keep their jobs.

Decent. But they got rid of the links to our portfolios in the top right corner. So now we must manually type in the page the buyers see of our portfolios. I sent them feedback about it.

No, it's part of the menu. Click on Portfolio -> Catalog Manager

I prefer the old way with a direct link, but I can always bookmark it.
