Freelance Author Statistics

We're slowly working some changes into the site.  And there has been a day of reckoning for some people's licenses unfortunately.  On the author profile page there has always been a listing of how many usage, unique and full rights licenses you have sold and today some of those numbers changed.

There had been a few complaints about the licenses number increasing without the amount of earned money increasing.  After a little bit of investigation we found that items that were not paid for were being counted as licenses.  This situation happens where the customer puts something in their cart and heads to PayPal or 2Checkout to pay and then decides to abandon their purchase.  Under the old system these were counted as licenses but the writer's earned amount wasn't updated.  Very confusing.

We've updated this so that only licenses where the payment goes through will be counted and shown on the writers profile page.  But as a consequence the number of licenses you have sold may decrease a small amount.  These are customers who nearly bought; fish that got away.

There are some other changes that you may (or may not) notice.  The top authors page has been updated, so that the stats are correct. Little bugs here and there are slowly disappearing.  All in preparation for the site redesign that we have in the works.  If you have some suggestions for the redesigned system, please let us know.
