Yes in the new "Messenger" style email (which isnt at all like messenger in my opinion but whateva!) with the new system when you get a new email from SM it just falls into the same dialogue box as all the previous SM emails. It doesnt highlight it with bold text the way it does with other new emails and it doesnt place it at the top of your emails. SO This means you have to go and look for the very last email you received to see new emails.
Does this make sense of do you want screenshots? Cause I can do screenshots.

No that makes sense, although its weird that it doesn't get highlighted or shown as new. Also weird that I didn't get a separate new message like I usually do about SM news, since I keep it on "classic mode" not the messenger mode.
Edit: I actually switched to messenger mode for a moment and still, my most recent message from SM is the Bikini Day contest announcement. So apparently I didn't get the memo about the pay delay at all. Hmm.

So I just went into my Account Preferences to make me anonymous in the contest, and I noticed this option/setting which I've never seen before:
Privacy Settings: Inbox / Messenger
I approve and understand that messages are being stored for my protection
it was currently set to the "NO" setting, I think by default.
What does it mean? And what does changing it from No to Yes do?

^^ Im not sure but if I had to guess I would say that its like the christian religion. Once you KNOW about it you have to decide to join or go to hell. The only loop hole is if you never ever ever heard about the religion then when you arrive at the pearly gates you can argue that you were just naive and accept Jesus as your Savior there and then. So the default is No you didnt approve and understand but now that you have seen that message you change it to yes thus accepting that you understand that the messages are saved for your protection or leave it on NO and go to Hell.
^^^ OMG soo funny!
Played around with the settings, options, buttons but still i see nothing as the message u posted here, my last message was about the bikini contest, maybe not everyone got it simply.
I anyway have nothing to get because i did not place, i was in the first 200 when i ended my shift but when i woke up today i was way behind so yeah, i dont expect any bonus. Not a biggie, i am happy i made some money on cam.

My best nights are Friday Saturday and weds night. no matter what I do in what indusrty, those are my nights for bank sometimes Thursday.
Im on the east coast. USA. Im sure a time zone helps decide. in the beginning i would sit on cam for 12-15 hours. putting in time is a big key to success on streamate. I also cammed imlive mfc and cams.com until i could cam sm with no sites running.
....
Maybe I don't do well on Fridays nights because I go to bed too eary, so I can work Saturday mornings. Generally I do find Saturdays productive.

Maybe the email was only sent to people who will be getting the bonus. **shrugs** Do any of you have pay adjustments from prizes or bonuses owning to you from last week????

My prize for the 3 days contest was loaded on 2nd July. The one from yesterday, not yet, probably tomorrow or Sunday.

^^ Mine for the June Solstice contest was loaded but I didnt get compensated for the June Best Face Forward contest or bonus so I guess maybe this email just went to those of us who didnt get out bonuses for some reason. But it shouldnt affect yesterdays contest.
Can you please help me telling how can I see myself during private shows?
I am on chat screen and I want to see myself but other than minimizing the broadcaster screen I do not know.
Thanks for your kind advice.

You can see yourself in your SMB broadcaster, or Adobe Encoder or OBS broadcaster or in your browser (can t remember for sure if I have seen my feed in browser when streaming just from there).
But I see myself in my splitter.

You have to split your screen. I suck at explaining things sometimes, this video explains how.

Yes. When you are streaming with the built-in options you can see yourself within the browser. When you are using external options i.e. FMLE, OBS, SMB you can't see yourself within the browser. That's pretty the case with every cam site and most likely any website that does live streaming. Not sure why but it doesn't seem like its possible to embed the livestream video in a browser when external programs/rtmp streaming is used (would love to know why if anyone knows).
Thanks for the perfect explanations and advice. I stream with SMB and all the clients told me is a delay in my speak and movements. I have the best internet connection and I assume is this SMB guilty for this. I understood that I can use something else. Did not know about. ❤❤❤

Has anyone ever been banned for their username? When will the ban be lifted and will they tell me which username they’ll pick for me soon? It’s been 9 business days and they haven’t responded to me. I hope I’m not permenantly banned I’ll be really sad about it because I’ve been doing alright on there. :(

Have you tried mailing Liz? She usually answers within a day and provides more details than model support.

SO this is the new SM browser version for broadcasting. Didn't tried it, though. I'm with the "if it works, why change it?" unless they give us the block button for people who left the room, then yeah, I'm all over it :)

It's not too bad...makes the chat much more pleasant to look at (it looks like text bubbles). It's still in the early stages though, so it's missing too many features for me to use it every day. I tried it and I'm eagerly awaiting them to improve it so it's usable. (also this is to help get rid of the flash interface since flash is fading out)

I just have to ask - Does SM not even notify you that you sold a video unless you check for it yourself in your sales?

I guess not (i dont sell videos) because they not a clip site but mostly a cam site, they just recently implemented the videos to be sold on their site.
Would be too much to notify everyone for every single video sold on their site considering there are thousands of live cam transactions, cam models sales, videos and all.
We just have to check on our own :)
Just seen the new earnings report page, they list sales by 3 categories now and not just by date.

I wish they would at least list which video sold! When you sell a video, it just says "Video Sale". I'd like to know which client is buying which type of video so I can make more of those types of vids or upsell them on a camshow :)

Same. I wish under every clip you would have your buyers, so you could keep track easier. What you sold the most, who liked what. Otherwise it's a pain in the ass to keep stats on your own. I try to list my videos different prices, so I can have an idea what sells the best, but is always hard to remember who bought what, without a lot of scrolling.

Could you please provide a screenshot of the new earnings report? I don't have it. I checked everything in my account and it looks the same as before. How new is this feature? Thank you.

Sure, here it is! (when i enter earnings report i see this text in green with the link then inside the new version the drop down box with the 3 options, see below)
ETA: i saw it approx. two hrs ago when i looked up after a pvt.

Oh they dont tell u details about what was sold and the client name?
This is not good then, i get u guys and when i read 'notified' in the other post i understood 'notified by email' eventually not that they dont give any details or notify u what was sold.
The word 'notify' was too generic. Ok, got it :)
innocentindian
07-10-2018, 06:08 PM
They tell you the client name, but only that it was a Video Purchase and how much you received. No video titles. Even if they can't change it, it would be nice to see how many times a video has sold on the Video Gallery page to keep track of what sells well and what doesn't!

You don't get notified. If you check your earnings and notice an increase, you can go to the details for that day. It will give the customer name then "Video Purchase" then the amount.

Thanks for the feedback yall -- I agree, it's pretty dumb that I can't even get a message to my SM inbox stating I sold a vid, or at the VERY least, let me know which video the custie bought in the report. Just seems silly not to let us have access to that information but I've already sold a couple clips on SM so I'm enjoying the new feature and it appears that we're getting more than 35% for them, looks like 50% to me, that's really nice.

Thank you for the update! Yes, it must be new (as in beta). Don't have it yet in my account. They are working on a bunch of things at the same time, no wonder we have all those errors going on.

I tag the customer when the videos are purchased.
The new earnings is great!
I love the fact I can see what is bringing the money that day and what field to play in. Someways Exclusives are banging. someday privates are making the money. It shows difference between gold show earnings and gold tips.
Its annoying to look at the current earnings report and put everything in order.
I do this nightly and some nights can turn into a few days of not tracing then I lost the vibe of the week. I always said I would keep track while camming, never happened.
As far as smconnect, when I read some features not functioning, I pay no more mind.
Now yall have me wondering :D
^^^ Yes to what u said and about SM connect it took me 3 pages back so it's affecting placement!!
No sound at all, nothing, not when u get gold or are taken pvt, cant work like that not to hear a thing, cant stay with my eyes on screen all the time!
No ty, wont use it like it is now, i will send feedback about testing it.

The main thing that annoys me with the current broadcasting layout is that the video/live stream doesn't show in the browser when using external programs, is this the case with the new layout? I'm hoping the new layout will allow us to see ourself instead of having to have the external program and browser side by side.

I just recorded a video using my SMbroadcaster and I want to post it to the site to sell it but how do I get it from flv to my Vids for sale? Is there a thread on this? I couldnt find it. the SM help page doesnt tell me how to process the video just how to record it
What program are you using to process the videos?

So, the last two days the broadcaster has been acting up... anyone else having issues with frame rate dropping/CPU usage skyrocketing and causing laggyness? Idk if it has to do with the new SMConnect. I tried the SMConnect and it completely distorts the image to the point where I can't use it.

SM fucking sucks. The "men" on that site are a bunch of losers. I was on it for all of 2 hours. I just couldn't do it much longer. The in and outs. The insults.
