Changed my profile picture days ago, it still isn't changed. I used a previously approved picture. In my model admin it shows the pic I want but on the site it does not. So irritating. I'm having a good booty week so I want to advertise booty!
yeah this has happened to me....it makes me hesitant to try new ones lol

Support is so odd, when it comes to this.
Mine sometimes get approved while I'm still streaming ......other times it takes a day, or 2.
*I just had a photo (Christmas related), rejected because it had text in it .
Other times my pix with texts go right through.
Weirdo site.
It was a previously approved picture, so support didn't need to do anything. I just went and changed it to a different picture then immediately back to the one I wanted. It changed within the hour. Super weird.

This happens to me a lot. Or the same like 6 people who have never purchased a show but pop in to my room every day and no one else comes in for a long time.

No matter where my placement is it's almost always tumbleweeds that's why I gave up worrying about placement . Placement doesn't really matter when there's low to no traffic most days. I barely reached 1k last week ,my time in paid is horrendous because of the traffic and same this week so you're definitely not alone :/
My cam is so pixelated and fucked up right now. It's Streamate because it's just fine on my end. No one is staying in my room.
I've been going through that. Did you get it sorted?

Went through the pixelated cam thing last night ... so annoying.
No kidding last nite SMB acted up again, i like SMB over FMLE cause i have a smallish screen (17") and the FMLE picture is too large at 75% view size and too small at 50% while the SMB window can be resized as i need here; tried them both & SMB uses less CPU than FMLE which is better of course but why after a good while it starts to drop everything & look like a mosaic?
Is it better to quit the session & start over again time to time or keep it going as one session? How u ladies do this?
I dont split for now (cams.com site is rubbish, full of people from certain countries, they will never pay but come into my room to give compliments & freeload grrr, people with money come by, look & leave or talk some crap & leave WTF??!! I think they believe i am new in the business no kidding, they try to fool me LOL)

Do you recalibrate SMB when it gets like that? I would try that first. I never have any problems with it unless my internet is acting up.

I figured out what happened with my sound yesterday. I feel silly about this because it's so simple. The volume bar on the SMB was turned all the way down. I didn't think to check that. Same thing happened today. Suddenly, guys could not hear me. I was not even touching my mouse.

i have so shitty day noone speak noone even say hi im bored im mad sad and all :((
Did not think to recalibrate to be honest, ty for pointing that out to me, i was watching the numbers & saw solid 2k plus bitrate , 1280x720, 30fps running nice & smooth then all of a sudden everything drops.
I will for sure recalibrate tonite now that my pc is fixed with the damn cpu issue i had (Ty Selena!), i can run smb at Best parameter now while before i had to downgrade it to High.
Ty for the tip xx
I had to drop the SMB down to 960x720 and not calibrate it. PITA.

Seriously? Dafuq... I was gonna log on early today. Maybe I'll spend the time with a book and a hot cup of tea instead. Thanks for saving me some frustration.
Anyone know what's going on? Or does everyone just need extra money to buy presents?

Well there's less on now but still over 1900. It's crazy! It's slow as fuck so I'm not sure why everyone wants to be on lol. Maybe everyone is having a slow week and trying to cram in hours at the last minute. *shrug*

I was just perving the front page and noticed a few gold shows looking like this:

Clicking the play button didn't do anything, and the "give gold" button was also not able to be clicked. :-\
Yep there's that and also cam2cam barely works :(

I was peeping on models last night. When I clicked on rooms the circle thing kept going around. I refreshed and the play button popped up but then when I clicked on it I got the circle of death again. I had to refresh again for the video to actually load. I stopped browsing after that because it became too bothersome to look at anymore rooms. If I felt that way I can't imagine how customers felt.
^^^ This is infuriating really, WTF is wrong with this site??!! I keep checking myself on my mobile using the other Wi-fi connection plus the mobile connection itself & i look okay here, smooth stream & sound but who knows how it really looks to others trying to enter my room or talk to me or take me pvt?!?

When I first started on SM, I'd go into the rooms to see the atmosphere and watch how the women worked their room. Stopped that after a couple months but now I find myself going into rooms again just to see if they're glitchy. I saw the botched Gold Show screens too and alot of freezing. I had to refresh over and over again and it would only fix the problem for about 5 seconds.
I'm paranoid to go on there these days because I can't tell if my room is doing that and most guys don't mention glitches. They just leave.

Ever since yesterday for some reason it takes a long time for people to start entering my room once I log on, like 90 seconds sometimes. And once they start coming in traffic is normal so I don't get it, maybe a glitch.

So a SM Whitelable stole one my videos that I sell for tips in Gold Shows and I sell on Manyvids and he posted on a Tube Site! This isn't a recording from my stream! This is a video I made for Manyvids and my site and yes I sell it on SM for Gold but that doesn't mean they own it and can use it for promo on Tube Sites! WTF :( :( :( It has a watermark for the stupid whitelable and everything :(
I emailed support and liz with screenshots to prove I sell this video on Manyvids and I own it. I really really really hope they remove it ...
totally crying right now over this ..... wtf

Manyvids should be able to help you too
ppl use my clips from c4s all the time and I successfully have them taken down. One went viral but thats ok, its still on the web 8 years later v
Set up google alerts, every little bit helps
Streamate will also remove videos.
Content rights pertains to content you live stream or place in the free video section or any photos used. Anything uploaded to sm servers. This wasnt uploaded through them, not on their site, its used in your room as promo and Im sure you send them a link that is not provided by sm.
I had to have the tv guy come and figure out why my tv had snow in the channels. He said he'd reset the modem too. I was all hopeful that would fix the chopped feed. nope.

Last night I asked a friend to sign up for a free account on SM just to check and see if my feed was glitchy I picked a geeky friend who could offer some advice if so. Apparently it didn't kick him off, but he gave me a very technical answer (which I did not completely understand) but he explained that my stream could look very slightly fuzzy on some screens even though I'm streaming in HD with a Logitech C920 and my both my upload and download speeds are much faster than needed for SM. He said that could cause the affected customers to repeatedly click the refresh button, which might look glitchy to me. Idk though. I've had a few guys get kicked out of paid chat in C2C and I could clearly see that both hands were nowhere near a mouse.

My response is to the last part..cam2cam. There's always gonna be a slight delay. The delay depends on fast their internet package is. Just because you didn't see them click off doesn't mean they didn't. If the stream is wonky you are only seeing the delay before he took his hands off his peen to end things.

SM Broadcaster keeps freezing. I will hit the red "Stop Show" and nothing happens. It just lags. I will have to shut down via Task Manager. Tried reinstall and still does the same thing.

WTF is wrong with SM? I get disconnected constantly, it's the 3rd time in maybe an hr? I was in free chat 1st using SMB-> i got cut off directly then in pvt with FMLE i got cut off again, luckily the guy returned, now in free with FMLE i got cut off again, what the f...g f..k??!!
All looks ok here!
Anyone else?

It's fucking up like crazy for me. Customers keep complaining about how they're being kicked out of my room. It's too bad because there seems to be traffic and lots of new guys interested in shows.

Every time I go on lately people are telling me my sound is way delayed... I'm still making money but I think I'd make more if my sound weren't so delayed. I did a speed test and have 5-6 upload speed.
When i watch myself from a different connection than the one i use to cam with i too see a significant delay regarding video and sound arrrgghhh

I was having a lot of glitches as well. It's really shit because I know I have lost at least a few exclusives.. Things will be great then suddenly no one will stay and regulars will constantly be getting kicked out and they eventually just give up. They also tell me about the video/audio delay

I noticed this this weekend when I tried not splitting with other sites. I closed my 2 other sites & just worked SM alone in HD with no problems. I got more traffic & more shows than I was when I was splitting before. They guys were saying that my sound was better & stream. I've read on here that SM doesn't work well with other sites for some reason ;/ in terms of splitting. I guess I'm just gonna work SM alone for a few hrs at a time then move on to my other sites. Sucks but I guess SM doesn't want us splitting blah .

Well, I've been doing this for 3 months and I just found the first video of myself and I am so upset. Not because there is a video because it does appear to be a white label and I knew SM does this, but because of the video they chose to put up. It is my first ever gold show and it looks horrible! It is super awkward, the angles are horrible and unflattering, and it was when I was camming super late at night so I look dead tired. I mean, WTF! Why don't you actually put a good video up? I knew there would be videos that would end up circulating, but to actually see one and have it be that bad is so upsetting, I am practically in tears right now. I feel like it is going to cost me business when people see that. I mean, really, who is going to want to pay for that awkward shit???

Maybe someone else can chime in but I don't think they actually review the gold shows they post? And TBH, even if the angles are shit and you aren't on your A game - there is someone who is cumming hard AF to it. Just like the shows where you do everything they ask perfectly and are on your A game and then they turn around and downrate you. They likely won't even see it as awkward. Actually they are probably fooled by your wicked good acting skills...if not they DGAF cuz they are just happy to see a hottie.
I'm not trying to invalidate your feelings but I don't think you should cry over it <3 hugs

Thanks, Sweetie and Adriana. I guess I should just use it as a learning experience and try to do better. Maybe I will eventually have before and after videos floating around, like look how much she has improved lol. I usually get 5 star ratings (when they actually bother to rate) and I have a few nice comments, so I guess I can't be that horrible. I just need to suck it up and get over it and try not to let it destroy my confidence. Thanks again for your kind words! <3

this is what i'm thinking is happening to those of us that have constant log ins/log offs , they come and go before our feed even loads. everything is fine but nobody can stay connected and the connection problem message with users doesn't always show either
