Why top performers cannot be sorted by number of downloads?

madman · « **Reply #101 on:** February 09, 2017, 16:39 »

I hate that new crappy design

how can I see our image statistics? e.g. last download date, upload date, view count vs??? anyone know???

It looks like Kate Sutterstock is a robot. She visited forum yesterday and started new topic about new dashboard. At the same time there was no answer in a topic about new earning table design. A human would write, "Hey, don't worry, we are listening to you and are planning to make everything back soon.".

we surely need back followers and undiscovered images search. it's something that is good for contributors and buyers.

this redesign is not that bad, there are some helpful stats, but bring map up (most important thing that makes SS different from other agencies and we love it)

ferdinand · « **Reply #105 on:** February 10, 2017, 08:33 »

yes - I m starting to like this new look - but still - main problem - put world map on top - and it will be more or less - fine

I like the new layout, but the bar graph shows me at glance that my earnings are basically half of what they were a year ago.

to like or not to like it's just a matter of personal taste....what makes me think is that shutterstock made a substantial change in 24h vs istock taking 4-5 months to change things...

actually, there is no need to change something that works. the need is to change things that don't.
the dashboard now reminds me of all the other not so successful agencies
which make things so complicated to use,..
sort of like the first days of web-design when every site was an IT's delight of "look ma, i am so
incredible in web-designing.." which makes no sense to most plain-sense web user.

ss previous home page was just plain sensible... one look at you see all you needed.
then turn the page to see the detailed earnings, click a button and navigate ,etc..

today, it just seems to be just that, an IT's delight. hopeless for someone who wants to just
KISS (keep it simple stupid !!!)

There was a view count on SS? Old stats didn't work right, by dollars was crazy wrong disabled, number of downloads didn't sort right. I like this version much better. The portfolio count is finally the same on stats, app and portfolio view.

I miss the image statistics for each image. Maybe it will come back? Totals and counts should be on the bottom.

To you folks who like the design, I'm guessing you don't get many sales? If you get 20 or fewer sales per day I guess it's not a big deal, but if you get more than that it's a royal PITA. There are contributors who get thousands of sales per day...I can't imagine how frustrating it is for them to have to click a zillion times to see everything.

And since a very small percentage of contributors make a very large percentage of overall sales, they're aggravating the very people who bring home the bacon.

i just dont understand people are moaning over the freaking LOCATION of the MAP !!! seriously, there is complaining and there is just being anal

new dashboard says there are not new uploaded files to edit

AND there are, instead, if you use other menus (the old ones remaining)

Yes, here it says that I have had 3 rejections in the last 3 weeks. In fact there are 3 months that I have not had a rejection

what is bothering me the most right now is that
1. No longer getting emails thanking mt for submitting content
2. Under pending approval, the number is now inaccurate (less than uploaded)

Here we are. No need to design a table fitted for big numbers anymore.

outoftheblue · « **Reply #116 on:** February 11, 2017, 05:24 »

I do actually like the new dashboard design (if only it could give accurate results).

What I don't like is the detailed earnings report, especially only 20 records per page.

Justanotherphotographer · « **Reply #117 on:** February 11, 2017, 06:09 »

Am I the only one that could care less about the map? It is just a pointless gimmick. I guess if you only make one or two sales a day it could be fun to see where those people are from. As a useful tool to help me run my business it is utterly pointless.

Me too can any one explain how they use it to improve sales?

John W. · « **Reply #119 on:** February 11, 2017, 08:11 »

Don't know if it's already been said but i really dislike the total earnings in the middle of the page. Also in a ridiculous large font. It's none of peoples business in the rest of the room.

steheap · « **Reply #120 on:** February 11, 2017, 16:33 »

If the home page would remember that you had changed that to current month it would actually be OK, but it always returns to total earnings which is a useless bit of information in my mind.

I also could get used to the images sold that day if they were sorted to show the most recently uploaded images first. I don't tend to care much about whether a 5 year old image has sold and the current order is either random or the order they were sold that day, which is equally useless information.

If they get rid of it, I wouldn't care at all. It's fun for the first few times you look at it, then it becomes useless.

Probably it is a simple problem of cookie.

For a Videographer the new design is a step backwards.

If you mainly sell videos you have to click on way more buttons as the interface defaults to photos. The old interface used to show both video and photo without clicking on anything.

There's an extra click just to submit a video.
