SM has been having HUGE connection issues today (see the SM venting thread).
With connection issues, probably the easiest way to see if its "you or them" is to check periodically their "total models online" number at a given time of day. If models are getting hit by the site, that number will drop to half what is normal pretty quick. If its you, your ISP, or general internet fuckery, then that number won't budge much.
Keep in mind that the number can go up and down quite a bit depending on time of day, so try to get a feel just for the times you're on usually.
I heard from someone the # of models is padded by a couple hundred? Like it's nowhere near as many as they say. But I really don't know :x
do you think it's worth signing up for SM if you dont offer audio? I dont do audio for various reasons so I've been putting off signing up thinking theres no point but I could use another camsite tbh
IMO it would be very hard most of the time when i type to ppl they leave. i try to save my energy and only start talking when we get past the normal small talk before i start hustling them . normally ot goes like this
user enters room
user : hi
me: hi
user has left the room
CONTEST TIME!!!!!

To their credit they haven't done one in a minute. The last few have been BOGUS for me tho so I hope the stars align and my period comes on Monday so I can just take a couple days off and kill two proverbial birds w/ one stone.
I'm visiting the dentist June 20th so hopefully I won't be online much that day for pain or whatever other excuse I can come up with.
I'm trying to sign into streamate and its saying my account doesn't exist. I'm fucking freaking out. what happens when they terminate your account? I thought they would tell you something? I was online earlier just fine. I emailed support and just waiting now. Im fucking freaking this sucksssss
Saw you reply and tried that. Still getting same result: "The site could not find any user with that email address." I tried forgot password function also and it says same thing. Thank you for your quick response.
edit: So I cleared my browsing history and cookies and that seemed to work??? OMGGGG yesssss
edit X 2: actually I logged in once just fine and now I can't again. this is so weird... Im not so scared my account is gone now but now I need to figure out whatever the hell is going on. lol
I had that happen before with another site, something to do with cookies and I seem to remember I had to also restart my modem so try unplugging it and waiting 30 seconds and plugging back in. Something to do with the cache I think it was?
Also try another browser if that doesn't work.
I tried logging in with Safari. I logged in just fine. Then I tried logging in with Firefox and wasn't able to. I tried logging in with Safari again and then that started saying I couldn't again. Tried logging in on my phone just to see and I logged in just fine there. Went to sleep, woke up, saw your reply Laurie, decided to try logging in before I tried resetting modem and everything seems fine, even able to sign in on all browsers I have. That was such a head scratcher!! Even when it told me my email didn't exist when I tried the recover password function. I use LastPass so it wasn't like I was messing up my log in with a typo or something. Im so confused ! but whatever it works now. Crazy SM you really keep me on my toes!! Thank you for your help and quick replies ladies <3
Announcing Stronger Stream Connections for All Models
From: [email protected]

We've been working on several updates to improve connection quality and stability for all Streamate Models, and we're happy to report our progress!
Stronger Connections for All Models
We announced in March that performers using external encoders (such as the FMLE Flash Encoder or OBS) would start to see changes to the stream info that gets copied into the encoder. After some early hiccups, we're happy to say this new system is working great. Every stream connection has now been updated to improve quality and stability:
If you use an external encoder, you'll be sent the new link type every time you connect. This include SMBroadcast (your stream info is entered automatically, but you can see the new link if you open the "Session Log" widget). No change is needed, just start your stream the same way as before.
New tip for encoders! When you're done streaming, we recommend disconnecting using your encoder. Instead of clicking "Stop my Show" on the streaming page, use the Stop button on your encoder instead. This makes it easier for our system to track disconnections. Thank you!
If you stream with just the streaming page, we've updated it too! You'll get the same quality and stability improvements.
New Worldwide Servers
We've started added new streaming servers in locations across the world. You'll automatically be connected to a nearby server when you begin streaming, which will improve stream stability and RTT (Round Trip Time) for a lot of our international performers! More servers will be added over time.
With these updates, we expect to see less disconnections and quality drops. Keep in mind that streaming is a complex process and these issue will still come up. If you want to read more, the How Streaming Works help page goes into depth about why streaming errors happen.
We'd love to know what you think of these changes and hope you'll contact us! Choose the "Send Feedback" option to write up your thoughts. If you notice new or more frequent connection issues, choose "Submit a Request" and then the "Technical" topic to let us know more info about the problem. Thank you!
Streamate Models Support
Does this mean they admit they had shit going on on their end that fucked shit up for us and they fixed it (so they say)?
maybe being off for the summer isn't a bad thing:O
And the contest is over. Now we can breath :)
