Thankfully. I got scared everyone migrated over to TS.

A glitch no doubt but it is possible your earnings there will go up. Buyers don't want to leave IS altogether, so they're finding what they need over on Thinkstock. Some of you do have the exact same images in both places, no?

no, that's not possible.. duplicates were taken, there was no point to keep the same pictures..

Wishful thinking....could they be clearing their books of sales not reported throughout the year by some error. My sales were so poor since they took over and I would have expected more. Again, just wishfully thinking

BTW, I requested a payout just in case.

Unfortunately there is a pattern of repetition. For me its a pattern of 88 image downloads being repeated over and over. So I know that my true figure is $22 not $286. Take your total and divide by 13 and that will most likely be what your correct sales total will be.

We passed 13 a while ago. I'm on repetition #18 of my 75 sales.

When I checked my numbers this morning, I was like "Oh! some partner just woke up and sent on year's worth of sales to close the yearly books." But, err, it is in my case the same 45 sales repeating over and over...

Must be Getty's way of making up for iStock contributor shortages.

also, don't forget most sales happen in the last quarter of the year at Getty

Crazy 2000 and counting, sad and funny at the same time this must be a small glimpse into what a guy like Yuri must see every day, but come on fix it already!

lisafx · « **Reply #211 on:** December 10, 2010, 12:38 »

Crazy that just as the search engine at IS is getting fixed, the reporting system at TS gets broken. It's like the Getty IT folks are losing some crazy game of Whack-a-mole. Completely absurd!!

Make you wonder how the "buyer end" is working?

Yeah, too bad it's unsustainable.

mtkang · « **Reply #214 on:** December 10, 2010, 12:51 »

are all you guys had get confirmation it is a glitch?

the past sales in stockxpert/thinkstock is all reported at same days, same time. It wasn't a glitch too..

Karimala · « **Reply #215 on:** December 10, 2010, 12:52 »

Despite the glitch, I still earned about 4x more than I've earned at TS in previous months. So at least that's something to smile about!

Is this real? are they clearing the books, or is it just a pipe dream?

Getty Leaks!

cathyslife · « **Reply #219 on:** December 10, 2010, 13:36 »

I can't believe no one has started a thread about on the IS forum yet. IT might not even know there's a problem yet!

Pipe dream. If you look closely, you'll see that it's the exact same bunch of images being reported again and again. My first batch of 75 starts at 4:14am and finishes at 4:25am. Then that same bunch of 75 repeats from 4:27am to 4:37am. And again and again, a total of 27 times so far.

It might just speed up the inevitable if one of you with the repeating sales reports it to IS support. Incompetent though their IT is, they'll figure it out eventually.

I find mistakes with earnings to be really, really worrying though. We've had the EL problems, subscription sales that were delayed more than 1 day, the rounding error in subscription sales for certain royalty levels and now this. It's bad enough they can't lay out a web page straight, but the money has to be right.

Mine starts at 4:14 a.m. as well. Someone must not have slept well last night.

Done. We'll see how quickly they respond.

Is this the first time the error's been in our favor? That's how we can tell it's a real bug; features always favor the house.

With so much misreporting (or no reporting), how can one tell if it's in our favor or theirs?
