Now i am confused and a little bit angry. yesterday my earnings didn´t update so i though it would happen today and yes it did. I got 1 cent... and still nothing for yesterdays update. Since last update i have posted maybe 100 posts, started discussions and recived replies. i domnot answer discussions that says yes or no and i do post quality posts.. I also have posted some pics, nothing for this either, What is up with MyLot?

I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but my earnings updates were a bit wonky too. Just today, my photo postings updated first, giving me 20 cents, but there were no updates for my postings (which numbered about 35 or so). I just showed a dash "-" where my earnings should have been! But then a few minutes later, poof! My postings earnings showed up.
I didn't know before this that they updated different types of content at different times. I'm not sure why your earnings are still delayed by a day, but maybe that's what's going on - differnt thing being updated at different times.
Hope you get your updates soon! Keep us posted - I'm interested as to how fast they get around to it.

I posted 3 images yesterday an only got compensated for one maybe? They only paid me one penny for images!! And I was at it a lot yesterday with responses and I only earned 60 cents. That is what I usually earn with about half the work that I did yesterday. I am wondering if today will be one of those days that little updates will happen a few times throughout the day. I am hopeful!

yeah, I had a situation where I had gotten to my 900 ratings post, and then the next day I dropped to 870 it was quite devastating but I did not lose any money thankfully, I think what the deal is is that as they have updated the system and got rid of the older posts, your ratings will somewhat be affected, so it may not be just for the fact that maybe even if you did not answer to the yes and no questions, maybe you did but you inputted quality posts, as that is what I would do, sometimes those will get deleted and they will just affect your ratings, but do not fear, as things will get back on track soon. If not just send mylot a message and ask to see what they say!

yes yesterday MyLot's updating system was
a little bit delayed mine is updating every
10:00pm but yesterday it was dealyed for two hours!
and to my surprise my earnings is lower than
i expected. I say this because i posted more
compared to my other day's post which earned me $1.14
Hope the system will be fixed.

If you are planning to make big money, you are in the wrong place pal. It will be better to if we all post some good discussions and make this a good meeting place. Lets take the small money that we get as a bonus, not as an earning.
Cheers!!!

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Mylot sent out an alert that they are doing some tweaking, so I think that maybe things will settle down eventually. Since I've joined, I have seen my earnings go up and down as well as my ratings, but it all has worked out in the end, as I have been paid twice now. So don't worry about and just see how this works out in the end.

It gives me confidence to read your comments.
I have been here only for two days. And I am not sure when my earning will reach $10. I have been worried about the ratings.If it is too low,it will be impossible for me to get paid. But now I decided to write and post hard!

Guess you are not alone Marie. Have posted more than 20 replies and started 5 and still nothing. zilch! Wonder what is happening? I just have to wait for a while and learn from you guys.
I post lenghty replies and start really long descriptions of my new discussions and I thought quality posts matters a lot in MyLot? Maybe too long a post makes the editors lazy to read thru them?

This is MYLOT's answer for your quesries -
In preparation for this month’s earnings payout, we’ve undergone a massive “clean up” of older discussions, responses and comments that do not meet the myLot Community Guidelines. Basically, this allows us to reallocate earnings from the “bad” discussions to the “good” discussions. (The more spam we can get rid of, the more we can pay everybody else!)
As we grow, we’ve become better at addressing low quality posts near the time they were generated (with your help, of course!) The issue is with older discussions from November and before. We’re nearly caught up with addressing these older discussions. As a result, many of you have noticed fluctuations in both your earnings and user rating. Most user’s earnings have either gone up or stayed the same. A small group of user’s earnings have gone down. If we delete an old discussion, this also causes the user rating to decrease for everybody who participated in that discussion. But the amended user rating won’t display until the next time that user creates a discussion, response or comment.

My earning is getting updated and I am not facing any such problem. Hope your problem gets solved soon. The best way is to report this to mylot and hope this may work out.

Hi, I think that it's hard to manage all MyLot people and sometimes updates can have some delay. I think all it's ok with MyLot.
