    Are you still having problems?
    Do you have Kaspersky's 800# for support? (I had to dig for it)

    I wouldn be surprised if it is Kaspersky.
    I tried them at someone's recommendation, but it has so many settings & buttons to push, controls that need fine tuning, that I just switched back to ESET, which is easy-peasy. Not being a computer programmer, I don't need more shit to do so I can cam, or bank, or any of the other pre-set options K has =p

    I haven't had any issues with BitDefender and it's on par with Kaspersky as security programs go. Might be worth a try on their 30 day trial to see if it works better.

    No. I was just thinking about this the other day,( when my check never came either). I got my other 1099's from other cam and pso companies.

    I haven't gotten my 1099 either. I still have my envelope from last year's 1099 and it looks like it was postmarked January 23. So hopefully we'll be getting ours soon!

    My new model status is about to run out. I've consistently been the first placed new model and top two rows on all models (apart from when my broadband is being silly)

    It's going to be a shock when new model status goes isn't it.... Am I likely to fall off the first page altogether you think?

    nah, your placement should stay the same for a bit and then if you aren't pulling the numbers you will start to drop.

    well, earning while on can keep your placement up, and normally just being in the "poor" category for a little while won't hurt your placement. I've been in the "poor" placement for about a month since taking a couple of trips and so far my placement hasn't been effected.

    Nah, you'll be fine as long as you keep a consistent schedule and put in the time (~20 hours/week is a good goal). I was in the same position as you when I started, and three years later I'm still in the top 3 rows. The only time my placement dropped was when I took tons of time off over the course of several months. And even then, I only dropped a couple of rows.

    Anyone else get this - I just have to ask because I've notice it been happening since about 2 weeks ago. I'll be sitting in freechat with everything being fine on the broadcaster stats - the bitrate maintains between 2000-2600, and then when I finally get a pvt/exclusive out of no where the member will leave mid show (reg or new guy) and then you see the bitrate on the encoder start to go down to 1200-1000-800-600-etc and then slowly go back up? The custie will come back into freechat and tell me they were kicked from pvt/exclusive, and this is all I have had for the past 2 nights. I emailed support to ask them about it over a week and a half ago when I first noticed it happening, with the typical generic reply and then sent in all my tech info and a blood sample - and they said they would forward it, I have now just emailed Liz about it because I can't make money like this. Anyone else notice this happening to them too? thanks. Prior to this happening things were banging and back to normal and now it seems that its up to its old tricks again, using FMLE to broadcast I get complaints of black screens, freezing screen in pvt/exclusive, pixelation, etc, and the broadcaster seems fine and dandy while in freechat but when it goes into pvt/exclusive THIS has been happening every SINGLE time. Frustrating!!

    Yes, when i beta tested the broadcaster for three weeks in october i made a ton of money and had ZERO problems. Then they updated it and i cant use it. It spikes my round trip time and freezes me constantly. The encoder on 720x1280 has been acting up for weeks now also. Customers get kicked out of privates repeatedly. Im also having an issue where every now and then my frame rate spikes (higher is supposed to be better) from 30 to 99 and i end up on the second page for an hour. I have issues with both the broadcaster and the encoder since they switched to 720 making it impossible to even strream some days or weeks. Thank God my husband works otherwise we'd be in trouble because ive been working about 15 hours a week because im tired of having issues. ive had multiple open tickets with support only to not figure out the issue. liz has been very helpful but tech support just hasnt fixed the broadcaster bugs and whatever is going on with the encoder.

    This happens to me all the time. I'll be in a show and the min I see vid bitrate reset my feed will look horrible and my custie will leave shortly after. My placement will then take a nose dive when I return to guest chat

    I've been experiencing the same bitrate drop issues and it's becoming fairly ridiculous.

    I've gone through this on and off for several months due to my internet provider (a small local company who is the only option in my neck of the woods) taking on too many customers for his limited bandwidth and illegally capping download speeds 24/7 with upload speeds dropping during 'peak' hours as well (bye, bye, night shift!). That's magically started to straighten itself out the last week or so, however, and my upload speeds are back in the 10-15 mbps range where they belong more or less all the time, so when this most recent string of bitrate drop issues started to crop up last week I figured it was on my end.

    Nope, not even a little. My speed tests that I ran as soon as I saw the drop (and throughout it) were at a consistent 12+ mbps and, more importantly, customers never DCed from my chat suddenly when the bitrate dropped before on me as a result of an issue on my end. When it was my internet fluctuating into the 1-1.5 mbps upload range, it was obvious from reports of freezing that would then go away and it happened in both free and paid chat equally often. Now it's only in paid and as soon as it happens the customer stops responding and, within 15-20 seconds, ends the private. Top it off to mention that when I'm in a C2C session, right before the bitrate drop I notice that their cam will just shut down entirely instead of freezing.

    Apparently, I just can't win where my bitrate is concerned these days.

    Fix your shit SM! And ISP, don't you dare pick up their glitchy slack when they do or I will have to conclude that you two are in cahoots!

    Reading your post just reminded me of the issue I have. I can sit in free chat throughout the day with little to no problems but soon as I enter into paid chat that's when the freezing and encoder starts acting all wonky. I'm not a techie so I have no clue what it could be.

    Yesterday I was randomly clicking on a few models rooms and some of the feeds would briefly pixalate and flash green. But again, it would only happen briefly. Who the hell knows anymore. *sigh*

    you find those things in your "ranking" On your dashboard top right. Click "My Reports" and from the drop down menu click "my ranking"
    I look at it every now and then while streaming. My items there stay within the "Excellent" range while I'm streaming.
    I still use the encoder on recommended 720 settings from last summer, and have had no complaints only compliments.
    Hey, if it ain't broke

    In this particular instance I'm referring to the running bitrate and stats on the bottom of the broadcaster while streaming, when the custie is kicked out of pvt/exclusive you will SEE it go down from 2600-2200ish range to 800-600 range then slowly crawl back up, the bottom bar along the broadcaster that shows what your bitrate/fps/etc is all running at while streaming.

    bitrate.PNG

    Obviously it doesn't show now because I'm not broadcasting but when you are it will show what your bitrate is while streaming and your fps, this is what I'm referring to, not the bit rate or roundtrip under my rankings.

    I went online to run a test stream and got a picture of it.. its right here:

    bitrate2.PNG

    Thats the running bitrate while streaming, when I have a custie go into pvt/exclusive they will stop talking, and leave, and you will see it go down to 1200-1000-800-600, etc, then stay there for 30-60seconds while back in freechat then slowly go back up. It is ONLY happening while in pvt/exclusive and it happens right after the customer is kicked from the chat. This is literally all I have had with every single pvt/exclusive the past 2 days. So bummed.

    I'm in the habit of.. whenever someone takes me EXCL I open up their notes.... and leave it open. If they pull that crap, I flag them with a note so I know to ban them next time. It has helped immensely.

    The bitrate thing happened to me yesterday while using the FMLE at the office I am working at. I had to switch to working at my studios office which has time warner business class because of the speed issue I am having with time warner at home. Since this is business class, there should NOT be a bitrate issue since it is a consistent speed all the time. The issue then is on SM's end.. yet again, they refuse to take responsibility. It's always the model or customers fault. If there was another site that was like Streamate that was worth anything, I would not even hesitate at this point. I have been putting off signing up for Loveshook's website because I've been so busy but I gotta make time for it soon!
