Any news on this? SY

Finally got straightened out today.  Seems like they are having some major issues with the site again, slowing down and lot's of little bugs.

Of course when having a few beverages and facing these issues, the lips become a bit looser 

[DNF-Style]

still waiting !!9!! days now.
They tell me (Frenk) they don't need any inspectors but the reality seems otherwise.

Anyone knows what is going on?

Also LO is starting to fall down hard in our sales list. Even slower then they were before. In numbers Crestock has passed LO already. In financials we are waiting for CS to pass LO.

[domencolja]

Same here, all sites have surpasses LO (and I've been there the longest). Still hoping they'll recover.

p.s.: The review times are very slow, true. On top of that some nasty slow downs occur (sometimes I just give up uploading and try another time - editing submitted images is a pita) and errors are present (like "phantom images" in the submitted and waiting area that noone sees and I can't delete).

[sshaw75]

Is anyone else having difficulty getting on LO?

[nicemonkey]

Yes it seems to be, I cant get on either. Its a shame I really like LO but recently the sales have really fallen off and the site has been very slow to load. Also images are taking such a long time to me reviewed.

[sshaw75]

Hopefully they are working on getting the bugs out.  I have a bunch in the ready to edit section, but even yesterday I could get maybe 2 - 3 done before it started slowing down so much saving the inputed data, I just gave up

From the Lucky Oliver Blog:
After some consideration and dialog with some of our loyal Carnies, we're pleased to announce LuckyOliver's new payout structure.
To kick things off, we're giving everyone a chance to cash in on Valentines Day. Carnies with at least $1 in their account can have a payouts sent to them via Paypal or moneybookers!
Starting in March we'll also be lowering the payout to $25. Payouts will continue to be processed at the end of every month.

Great News that means I get my second pay-out there earlier then expected!

Well I will try again registering on LO via your referral link Sybille. Last 6 attempts were in vain. But the guys in our slavic corner say LO is having bad days in terms of sales... 

[Syates]

In February I had 3 sales so far, but all were sideshow sales with an average commission of $3/dl for me  Outperforms a few other sites I submit to. SY

[sshaw75]

Good to hear.  Playing Devil's Advocate here... I wonder if this is to try and keep people, and keep them happy?  With all of the issues they are having with the site, uploads and so forth, and the recent departure of Jill.  Anyway, I think it's a good idea for them to reduce the payout levels 

[Syates]

The lower pay-out limit also proves that there is enough money in and behind LuckyOliver and disperses some gossip regarding that point  SY

[domencolja]

Sounds strategic, yeah.

p.s.: Even if honestly doesn't make that much of a difference getting 25 or a 100 dollars. But it does mean I won't have to wait four years to achieve the later, that's true;)
p.p.s.: In three months there I earned 10 bucks. That divided by the time spent "uploading/waiting for system slowdowns while entering desc/keywords" equals surely the lowest income per hour on earth, literally. Not even enough to buy one pizza here (I'd have to beg for a glass of water)
p.p.p.s.: They should really rethink the whole site "personality". It sounds different, but I'm pretty much certain this isn't working the way it should as things stand right now.

Btw: if it wasn't for the "friendliness" emanating from LO, it's admins and especially the inspectors, I'd quit uploading after one month.

I totally agree, sales have really slowed for me lately and reviewing of images has stopped. If it wasn't for the friendliness of the people and reviews I would have left along time ago. shame
