I noticed that my earnings on MyLot have remained at $6.87 since Saturday. Has this been happening with anyone else? I guess it must be as loads of us around the world are also having problems with not receiving email notifications.
What on earth is going on?
I mean, I've had the 'notifications' thing before but I reckon the earnings per day not being registered is a new one on me.
I probably wouldn't have reached payout this month anyway but - well, I just thought I'd mention it to see if others are having the same problem.

If you are active you will see earnings added to your account. if you are not then there will be no earnings when the updates take place.
At the bottom of the earnings page it states that earnings were last updated 1 day ago, and those were for our activity on Monday, myLot's monday. if you were not active then there will be nothing added to your account.
The next update will be for our activity on myLot's Tuesday, up until midnight by their clock so you should see something added to you account when that update takes place. For the days that you were inactive, you will not receive anything.

At the bottom of my earnings page it says:
"participation and referral earnings last updated 1 day ago" and as I did not post anything (except PMs) on Monday, I was not expecting any earnings to appear. As there are none I presumed it was for that reason and not because they are stuck (like most other things right now ).
Seems to me that the only thing functioning here is Alex!

This must be another glitch like the email notifications not coming in. I also have not gotten any earnings update in two days. It says that on the bottom of my earnings page. I have to assume they are having some issues. But like I said in a previous post about the email notifications, I think they should have a section here for members to visit for any issues and or updates. I know it might be impossible for them to answer every email they receive. But if they had a section like I mentioned then I think that will help everyone understand whats going on and feel better. Worry free.

Yes, it's the not knowing what's going on that irritates me..and then the suspicion creeps in due to the lack of communication on the site itself.

I hear you on that. But I do no not see any signs that MyLot is going anywhere. It probably is a glitch or maybe a problem due to weather. I know communication is almost non existent here, but every time I send admin an email, i get an automated response basically saying that they will contact you if needed. And they also say that they may not contact you at all. I take this as they are aware of the problem.

The thing is, these used to be updated each day without fail, that's my argument in all of this.

Yeah, mine haven't been updated since Sunday. I guess they have their hands full trying to get the notifications hitch repaired.

Well, I just got 19ยข for using the search, and it was added, but I guess that's an automatic thing, whereas the regular earnings from posts has to be scrutinized.

Just continue being active, and it will eventually update.
Last time this happened, I think that it took like three days before the earnings had updated. That actually did make me a bit antsy, because earnings usually update within a 36-hour time frame.

The timing is a bit off if you ask me. I wouldn't mind so much if it was at the start of next month but near to the end everyone is trying their best to reach payout..and they can't because they've no idea how far they have to go to get it.
There..I've gone and confused myself.
Not difficult.
Haha!

I thought it was just me because I wasn't so active since sunday although I've been asnwering 4 or 5 discussions only so I didn't bother. But now that I read your topic, then it's just not about my activity here. I remember after the holiday first week of january, the earnings were updated every after 2 days, so I guess this is one of those moments.

To be honest, it should be updated every day. I do realise that there are time zones to consider, but, even taking that into account, my earnings SHOULD'VE been updated by now. It's been the same since Saturday and I cannot get my head round as to why.

Try to be active and try to post discussions and try to do discussions and most probably the earnings will be active very soon. Sometimes it might take couple of days to update earnings, but they will be updated and if you are active most probably you will reach payout very soon.

It doesn't affect me so much as it takes 2 months or so to reach payout anyway..so if this drags on until I won't be happy.

I am having the same problem. I haven't received any email notifications and when I went to my earnings page the last one was for Sunday. I am sure that admin will figure it out, but it is a wee bit frustrating.

Has it been sorted since you posted your comment? It seems to have with me. I've received notifications plus my earnings have been updated too. I hope that has applied to everyone, of course.

Hi Janey, I think there may be a glitch on the site. I have not received an e-mail notifications of friends' discussions for several days and my earnings have remained static also. I have been with myLot a long time and this sort of thing has happened before but has always righted itself. So I expect everything will sort itself out in time. I hope so becuase I find it much better to respond from my email box than coming on site and trawling through discussions. _Derek

Hiya Derek. Thanks for your reassurance.
I do know what you mean about the emails. I'm missing those more than anything. My inbox looks so bare with the MyLot notifications!

Hiya MandaLee. The thing is, if we can't track what we're earning each day how do we know if it's all going to be added up on another day? You see what I'm getting at? Basically, typing for nothing.

I'm experiencing the same thing. And I've read mysd's first response here so I went to my earnings page and looked at the bottom of the page. Mine says the last update was done 3 days ago.
I thought that the problem was general so I wasn't going to mind it and just wait when it gets updated. But if it's only a few of us that are experiencing this, then maybe it IS a big thing.

I've never known it affect so many people from so many countries before. At other times it's been limited to a few individuals..but EVERYBODY? Something definitely isn't right but I trust MyLot admin to sort it out...I think.
I don't know what to think anymore!

Yes even I have noticed it. There may be some internal up gradation of Mylot site may be going on. Many time such things have happen in past. Don't worry all your earning will get added to your account.

It is weird this lack of communication though. I'm not used to that.

My earnings has also not been added since Sunday. This happens to me a lot of time and suddenly my lot adds your earning for two days so by tomorrow I would have earnings up to Tuesday. Sometimes we get pissed because we want to see our earning increases everyday since it bolster our confidence to spend more time here. I'm on $8.38 and I too believe that I have to wait one more month before I can receive my first payout.

On average, it will take me 2 months to reach payout but I've been used to that and accept it, as I'm not as active on here as I used to be.
However, this new thing of not updating earnings every day doesn't impress me at all. Yes, we come here for a laugh and to learn things and all the rest of it..but, the vast majority are here for the money and if that money isn't updated each day..they will leave and go elsewhere.
Perhaps this is what MyLot wants, who knows?

In the past MyLot Admin would let us know if there was 'maintenance' going but we haven't had that either.
It's all very odd and a tad worrying I have to say. I don't mind it happening so long as there is an explanation for it..but..nothing.

Same is going on with me. My earning are not up dated since Saturday. I don't know what is all going on. First the notification, then the profile picture thing and now the earnings? What all is going to be down more? I have been waiting for it, i thought they will update it in a day or so but now it is going to be another Saturday soon. What the heck is going on now.

I wish I knew but I don't think anybody knows other than MyLot Admin, and they're being very quiet on the subject, from what I can gather from other members.

I believe most of us have been in here long enough to trust that the admin will make things right after a while, even if we do notice the lapse in update.
Just hang on and contribute more, a sudden increase in the earnings (because of a delayed update) can be quite a motivator sometimes.
Hope that you are not overly dependent on the delta amount to get by day after day.
I have noticed the delay on several occasions, all I can say is it is all good. cheers!

No, I'm not reliant on the money (such as it is) but many people will be.

It seems to happening to everyone, regardless of where they live. This is unusual as (in the past) some would get notifications and others wouldn't. Also, I've never experienced earnings not being updated daily, not for this length of time anyway.
