[QUOTE=KatM;3107332]I totally forgot the SMConnect works only with Party chat, i looked up to see if they added the regular chat and nope, nothing as an option to switch.
I cant sell my shows in Party chat, i am the model type that sells individual shows.
Went back to SMBeta so i can make some money even is soo dead, i mean i get people in my room but looks like everyone is new and dont spend?! In & out a lot, some talk and say they wanna come pvt but nothing happens, no tips either... i dont know..[/QUOTE
***Thanks for mentioning this. Is happening the sameee to me. I thought was a glitch because Im suffering since Tuesday. All of these guys are new and they don't spend a dime, before tips were flowing but now? Only 1gold tips, so annoying. A week ago or two, I was getting high tips but now is totally non existent. Maybe is the new feature of the 1gold option? Aggg is affecting my earnings. They just get in and out, I have lots of traffic but is just quantity but quality is bad. I consider that I hustle good, I try to sell hard, Im not new on this, so is not because Im not trying to convert these guys into new spenders, I swear I'm doing the impossible to get pvts but they don't spend, is so dam akward. This new traffic seems to think all is for free or I don't know. I'm glad to know that it's not just me noticing this.

I'm kind of confused as to why smconnect doesn't have a phone option yet. some of my best custies are phone guys, so it's frustrating.
My thoughts exactly.

User connection issue galore today. Not possible every user to have a bad connection. Out of 50, maybe 5 left without connection issue.

I don't think the contest it's related to March necessarily. SM runs this specific 1 week at the end of every month (almost, sometimes they have multiple short contests during that month and they decide to skip it). But look at past contests, you can see the pattern. For example, last year was 25 March - 31 March. Then for April they had 29 April - 05 May. Then May was skipped. But for June it was 24 June - 30 June. And so on. Usually, they respect the "tradition".
I agree, the contests are always around the same time each year.
Which are also historically times of the year when men are busy, not bored at home fapping.
Last year March Madness dates in Mar 13-Apr 2. The same final week of playoffs, was our contest.
Not sure what, if anything was going on April 29-May 5 (could have just been 'upgrading' the site, causing glitches, so they keep us online by having a contest)
The last week in June kicks off the summer and is notorious for families taking off on long vacations, adding in the 4th of July holiday. It's also a busy time for graduations & wedding, summer travel.
As we all know, summer is the slow-down period for camming because kids are at home. Even if they don't have kids, etc., guys are outside watching or playing sports, yard work, lots of reasons to be busy & not hunkered-down, bored, fapping like they do during the cold months of the year.
With the tracking I've done, I've noticed a pattern of SM creating contests to boost slow periods/lagging revenue. And sometimes just more glitches (I presume while programmers are testing new 'upgrades')
PS: I've also noticed that working Father's Day Sunday sucks online. Which makes sense, since dads are with their kids that day. Or, do you have a different experience?

Is anyone getting the "Internal server error" message when you try to upload videos to sell? I manage to upload a clip once in a blue moon, because it gives me that shit message all the time and I don't understand why!!! Uuuurrghhh!!

I can't either. Tried for at least 10 times, different browsers, deleted cookies, Windows and Mac, nothing. Same error. :(

They insist they turned it off, & yet it looks like it's still going. :(

Even if you request a static picture, the camera thing still lights up all the time like it is recording which it may be but it doesn't show up on your profile.

I just experienced something I have never seen before. I was in a c2c show (SM c2c beta) with a guy. Another guy popped in and sent a request to view his cam while I was already viewing guy #1. I didn't think that was possible. I told him I was already watching the other guy's cam and it only lets me view one at a time. Now I'm wondering what would have happened if I accepted guy #2's cam. Would his override the first guy? Or is it possible to view 2 cams now?

It is possible, at least if you're using the Flash program and SMBroadcast! This happened to me; the first guy requested c2c and his connection was slow so the system automatically put it in the flash window. The second guy comes in and requested to show cam, and I saw the request in the SMB window! And sure enough I was able to see both of them at the same time.

It's for "security reasons". They don't record, just take screenshots to make sure you're not breaking rules. Other websites use admins to verify models, SM just takes random pics. Have no clue how much those pics really matter or if they check when somebody makes a report.

Well I'll be darned. Next time I will accept the second request. That's pretty cool!

What the fuck does it mean when you get an Exclusive or block session request, accepted it and nothing happens?
Is this a glitch or they cancel? This shit infuriates me!!!!!!!

Not necessarily a glitch. Some people just wanna fuck around and leave right after they give the request (close the window and nothing happens). I had that happen. :( When it's a glitch, most people try again or at least come back in free chat and ask me what happened.
Besides that, full of errors today. Out of sync, C2C freezing like crap, people not showing in pvt (but me seeing them in webcam) and my list goes on and on. Support it's going to be "thrilled" when I msg them. And still not able to upload clips in my gallery.

I think that was the case today. He has never done a show with me. He came in free chat and requested block session right away.

^^^ I know right? But then we are 'suspended in the air' cause u cant do anything but wait for the room to work again, no 30 secs count down to get back online so u can either wait or stop session and get back on ... would be nice to have the Count down button for when Exclusive is not getting thorough, maybe SM will get that into consideration?!

I was logged off before the booting began but holy crap! for the last two hours of my shift my frame and bit rate would tank out of nowhere then go back to normal then tank again over and over and over again. I wasn't sure if it was the site or my internet connection.

It's happening on Twitch as well. Someone on Twitter mentioned Chaturbate had some issues too.

That's really werid that SM, Chaturbate and Twitch are all having issues. I can't think of any commonality that they all could have for all of them to be having issues at the same time but it also doesn't seem like a coincidence. How is it even possible that they all are having issues at the same time?

It could possibly be cyberattacks. That's the first thing that came to my mind.

interesting, i don't get many private block requests but i totally understand why you wouldn't want them.
the main ability i want is for the initial private request to be treated like an exclusive request, where you can click "accept or deny". i HAAAAATE how guys can just steal me away so abruptly into a private without any actual consent or communication first, interrupting whatever good vibes i have going in free chat and making all the cool wealthy guys i'm slowly hustling scatter away when they see the "i'm in a private show" screen -- even though i had no desire to be there. fuck that noise.

yes it's so annoying! I'd also love to be able to disable the c2c for privates (like they have with the phone option). I clearly state I only do c2c in exclusive and what do these guys do? try to sneak in a c2c request while i'm riding reverse cowgirl thinking I wont see it or attempt it multiple times and keep interrupting the dang show. like if I say no once, I mean it and shouldn't have to keep denying the dang thing.

YES! I don't know how long I was sitting there with the buttons greyed out. It seems ok on the desktop site, but gold/gold menu and private buttons were greyed out on mobile. I started the morning streaming using SMConnect, but had the same result after rebooting and trying to go back to SMB. I didn't find anyone else's room that was having the same problem.
ETA: I spoke too soon. More rooms are showing like this than not for me on mobile now.

Not sure how I'm making money today with SMConnect dropping my frame and bit rates constantly for the second day in a row. Even tried SMbroadcast and got booted twice. Luckily it's working in bits where people can take me pvt but wtf? get your shit together SM

03-26-2019, 04:25 PM
^^I wasn't paying attention yesterday but today I am and my bitrate does keep dropping and raising, so far it hasn't dropped enough to lower my resolution from 1280x720. My RTT keeps cycling up really high and back down to normal too.
