I have been posting comments all day. I have noticed that my number has not been going up! Am I getting credited for my posts or did I just waste my time today? It is saying 518 all day. I guess I will see tomorrow by how much I earn.
It might also be because I am on MyLot from my iPhone. However, this is my third day and this is the first day I am noticing this. Today I was surprised to see I only made 30 cents yesterday. I was on all morning so I thought after 5 hours I would have made more than that. I also made the same amount the day before. I thought it was strange since I don't think I did as many posts that day. Anyone else having problems with MyLot today?

Wow that is strange! MyLot must be having technical difficulties. Or maybe they changed their earning system? Hopefully we will get credited correctly. I come on MyLot first to chat secondly to earn money. But it helps that we earn money here. This is why I gave up Facebook for MyLot!

Please read the link that I have left in my response further down. You will then understand that the number beside your uhsername is not a post count and is not related to your earnings.
Be aware also that there is no increase in earnings for receiving a Best Response.

Please realise that the number next to your username is NOT a post count.
It doesn't increase every time that you post.
This discussion explains it all:
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2568225.aspx
There is no glitch,
That number is also not related to your earnings,
Realise also that earnings are based on myLot's time zone and not yours. A day for you might not be the same as a day where you are. You can see the time on the clock at the bottom of the page and all earnings are based on a day by that clock.
It is important that you understand how that number works so please take a look at the link that I have provided.

My problem with mylot is different, i have responded to discussions that have violated the guidelines and my responses were deleted. At present i am wondering why i could not see the plus and minus sign at the side of my responses instead only the exclamation point. My rating was also reduced from 9 to 8, if you may look at my star beside my account name. I really don't know why.I have been about four years in mylot though i am not active due to my workload, i see to it that i respond to discussions very well. i hope i could have the answer to all of these.

We all see only the exclamation point on our own posts.
We can use it to report our posts if there is a problem with them, for example if we double post due to connection problems.
We cannot see the plus and minus on our own posts because we cannot rate our own activity but only that of others.

I have only had a few comments deleted due to guideline violation. It happens to even the best of us from time to time. I can usually tell when it is going to be deleted and I avoid them. They are mostly newbies that don't know better or discussions started that have still have no responses hours after being started.

I have noticed it too. Mylot seems to get slower when downloading the pages. Also, I would see an increase in my earnings within 24 hours but sometimes it takes 2 days. I also received a yellow star this week. Seems like many changes are taking place.

I hope that if it is a new MyLot because it is almost a new year that it is a better MyLot. Btw, what is that yellow star you are referring to? I don't know what you mean.

I used to have a red star which means a rating of 9 now it is down to 8, its because I have made some mistakes with my posts a few days back.

That number has nothing to do with your earnings as it is NOT a post count.
MyLot don't pay a set rate for posts but for your quality participation regardless of whether that number increases or not.

Ok but did you get paid for all or just some? That is something I am going to have to try to figure out. If I make 60 posts but only get paid for 40 then that is not fair.

Hello zukichucha. Maybe it's because you are using Iphone. But one thing, Even though you have posted so many discussions and made a bundle of response, you won't be able to earn a large amount because of that. Your earnings vary according to the ratings you got from that response or discussion. You know, you are lucky that you have earned 30 cents yesterday. Me, I only earned less than that. If I make some tasks, it will help me increase my earnings. Maybe you should do some tasks to add some earnings. You should also read the FAQs so that you'll understand on how you are paid by your discussions and response. Have a nice day mylotting.

I check out the available tasks from time to time. But I only trust Sharon's tasks. Most of the others seem like they ae fishy. I do not feel right about someone trying to game the system of whatever affiliate program they are with.

I am curious to see how much I made yesterday so I am anxiously waiting. No luck so far. I feel like I did a lot of posts though. I love MyLot!
