Worst night in a while, after two really solid nights. Shitty traffic, hardly anyone being engaging in free chat. Usually my room is lively and loud, with fun people chatting which helps me stay entertaining, but tonight was insanely boring. A couple of pity shows from regulars who weren't even into it, which is hardly a turn on. Sigh.
Thursdays and Fridays are usually really good for me, I hope tomorrow isn't like tonight. :-\

Is anyone having placement issues in a studio such as Boleyn Models?

oh no, you girls got me concerned. It's taking my whole shift to make my goal, but I'm just barely making it. No glitches to worry about, but traffic has been dead, there are times no one is in my room, and getting a GS at all is like pulling teeth. An I'm a cheap date. ;-) I know it's not my geoblock, because I've had that for a long time BEFORE the dead traffic, But placement? I just turned off my geoblock (temporarily) to see my placement.

I'm confused about placement as well....I never knew what placement I had for a long time but I assumed I was not on first pg but I still made decent $$ recently I found out I was on pg 1 but now I really don't make anything and my room is deader than ever..also I'm now using a better computer and my ranking is close to perfect (before it was dreadful) so how is it that now my money is worse??? I'm making like the same or less than my other split sites on sm

Then it's because you're in classic chat. They will send these anytime you choose classic chat over party chat because they can't send tv gold shows unless you're in party chat. It's just a notification to let you know they can't send them. Just dismiss it and go about your business.

Thanks! What worries me though is that it's also telling me I'm not using the encoder which I am. Anyway thanks a lot!
Then if u opted in for the TV shows cause u wanted to offer them u need to set ur chat type to Party chat and use the encoder with the required settings in order to qualify for TV Gold Shows otherwise u'll get these messages now & then, they are a reminder u dont qualify for the option u opted in for, the TV Gold shows. U did not explain what ur intentions were so i assumed u opted in for tv shows by mistake maybe.

Is anyone else still waiting for Payoneer to show up? I swear all the days I wake up early it takes fucking forever for it to show up but the days I accidentally sleep in until 1 or 2 its there before I even wake up. My payment isn't even pending in my payment history on Payoneer. Please tell me I'm not the only one. I got my electric bill extended for today so it NEEDS to show up quick lol.
And to comment on everything, I've noticed my placement is a bit lower than usual and had sooooooooo many free loaders they make me want to rip my hair out! Haven't been on yet today but hoping for a great turnout!!
Waiting for the payoneer too OMG i need the money ASAP!
Placement changed too, saw myself lower on page two and i am normally on page one bottom rows or page two upper rows but seen myself much lower last shift.
ETA: just refreshed the page they show as being processed!! Whoa! Freaking out here!

Hey Kat,
Thanks for the reply , I understand that but I am using the encoder that's what brought it to my attention.

Is someone willing to send me the new encoder settings? I don't know why no one is responding to the email address that was posted IN THIS THREAD lol and with placement being as messed up as it is I would like all the help I can get. Thanks!
send me a PM maybe?

So does anyone know if simply logging into your Sm account and going to the ''Start my show'' page without ACTUALLY broadcasting is considered 'activity'? I've been off SM for four-five months now to get my account released but I did go onto the SMS page a few weeks ago. I had SM close my account already, now I'm just waiting on my studio to have it released so I can make another account with Boleyn.

99.9% sure you have to actually broadcast in order for it to count as activity. You should be fine, grrrrl.

Anyone venture to guess why my stream on sm would pixelate? I will stream for a bit and it is fine and then my screen will like blink and then pixelate. This has been happening for like 4 days. I thought it was my internet so I dragged them out to my house and they did fix a few things but I am still pixelating! My lighting has not changed or really anything. I do not split. I use the c920 cam. My computer definitely needs updating, it is a AMD Hp but it does the job. Thanks in advance to any techy bbs that can help!
whenever this happens to me it is my upload speed (i run a speedcheck when this occurs and my upload drops from 30+ down to 2 or less). the side of town i live has signal issues. I have had my place rewired, modems replaced,splitters changed, lines checked multiple times within the last year and finally they traced it to my upload speed. From time to time during peak usage is when i experience the problem you described. On the encoder settings i uncheck auto adjust when this happens, i don't know if it's a coincidence that it lessens the blinking or if it's actually helping..

So... is the website down? I can't get it to load in my browser, neither streamatemodels nor streamate.com. I was just about to stream too, got as far as the broadcast page before it wouldn't load anymore.

Well,now that explains the placement being all over the place.Just got an email in my sm account saying that they created a support team for Europe.In the email is also mentioned that they are testing different options to give europeans more exposure.That sounds promising but we`ll see.

That's unfortunate for me. I keep getting a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" error. Well, I'll just have to try to work it out while I'm live on adultwork. If anyone knows anything about how to resolve it, hook me up.

Strange question maybe? I sometimes check my placement, feed etc. from my members account. I am checking today and I am the number 2 girl on the site ;DI know I am not number 2 for sure. So my guess is that SM is tracking who I visit and put me at the top based on preference. Anyway to reset that? And I did not favorite myself. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, it will do that if you're constantly checking your stream and on your page a lot. I'm always the number 1 girl on my member account, and no I don't have myself favorited lol. It actually places me before my favs since I'm in my own room the most.

I know right? Oooopsie, i too was shocked! Now what? What is going to happen next? Looking forward to some GOOD changes for us the models in Europe, means local paying traffic maybe? Cant wait, i hope these changes are not made for nothing!

Well FML exclusive is not workingggggggg neither is phone. I just literally lost 60 dollars from a block session + another exclusive that seemed was going to be long. SO PISSED SM SO FUCKING PISSED
To my surprise i realized yesterday SM deleted many pages of my messages, i think i had 10+ pages in Inbox, 4-5 in Sent, looks like they 'cleaned' my messages data base, all i have now is 7 messages in Inbox, 2 in Sent messages and that's it! I was thinking it's a glitch but no, it's displaying the same now. Never they did this before, i was cleaning my old messages myself and kept one of each member just to have a way to write them but now everything is gone. If i want to write a mass message to all my members i had in my list, i have nothing to work with. Might have to do with the creation of new European division, what are they doing with our accounts, separate us from the main site & start to wipe messages in inbox? But why? How? Thoughts?

Nothing changed but remember the studio is favorited.
I was wondering last night when they sent the email about the changes they make for Europe now ,wtf is all about,I am puzzled ,if they are going thru changes and working already on bringing europeans more traffic why did they move their higher placed europeans to the U.S?
Anyway,you can always use a VPN to change your location,I would say that might bring a suspension at some point but it would be unfair to suspend one model for using vpn to swich location but let a whole studio deceive members.

Omfg, there are so many glitches this morning and it's a horrid time for it to be happening because I've had more people in my room today then I have had in months. Every Exclusive has been kicked out but one, c2c just makes a purple screen, my audio keeps cutting out and the phone option isn't working.

i just brought an i7 laptop today. its working beautifully and clear with the new hd720 settings but im still having the same problem before with my old laptop. My bitrate is dropping. I looked on my ranking and it went from 1087 to 966, should i upgrade to a faster internet speed or get a new router? has anyone had a problem with this?

I've been booted from privates where I immediately end up in free chat...like I had no 30 seconds to get dressed... NOT SURE what happened... so crappy. Then I did a gold show the other night and the countdown was over but it actually froze.... All guys stayed in the gold show after the countdown was over. There was no way to go back into free chat until it did it on its own. Then I finally got booted from the gold show i did back into free chat but then someone immediately took me into exclusive ...crisis averted. Seriously...I'm not crazy. What's going on?

Is it within the realm of possibility that my super shitty round trip times for the last 2 days are a SM glitch? I am running a wired connection from the west coast. My current download speed is 18.09Mbps, upload speed is 21.64 Mbps ... The last two days have been a total fucking nightmare with my round trip times vacillating from poor to average, placement tanking, no traffic. I'm trying to troubleshoot this with very little technical knowledge with a hangover and am seriously on the verge of tears right now.
