Am I the only one whose MyLot bank is frozen today?

I noticed this morning that my bank didn't move for the first couple of hours as I was commenting away and responding to some emails. I was involved in a lot of conversations, and expected some decent movement. Then it moved a penny, and I wrote a post. The post received some attention, but my bank hasn't moved since the one penny move this morning. I feel so lonely! Tell me it's not just me. Actually, I suppose I should let @GoAskAlice know. I just did, didn't I?
A random question: Do you think that when our bank moves, it's for our activity in the last hour? Or do you think there's a delay between activity and bank movement? I've never tested that one (you know I enjoy little experiments).

His username is actually @GoAskAlice.
I've noticed that a time or two, and it almost seemed to me that a discussion I'd participated in had been deleted. I know they've said that there aren't currently any penalties for deleted content, but that made me wonder about it. It seems like they would have had Alex say something if that policy had changed recently.
I think the earnings are updated once an hour for the interaction you've received in the hour immediately prior to the update... not 100% positive, but that's how it seems based on my observations.

Mine is frozen too. It caught the North American chill. lol. Seriously, we the old mylotters hardly bother. We are accustomed to getting it updated on the following day. And that may be necessary because the program can run faster instead of inserting that routine every hour or so.

@TheHorse Mine is slow at the moment, but I was working my notifications from bottom up. I needed to clear out the oldest before they were lost forever. Now I'm back to doing them from the top down and hoping to see a faster increase.

It was like that yesterday or it was slow.
Yesterday for me and a few others it was being updated every two hours.

@TheHorse I think they have some kind of problem but it seems to be fixed today. Is it working for you, today, running better.

A kick in the nuts sounds like a good thing. What's the best way to mail Alex? I have his @goaskalex tag, but should I email him? Mine is frozen again now!

I have no clue, since I don't check it but once a week. Sure, I might notice it, but I don't keep close tabs, like I did at the BB site.

@ElizabethWallace Ah, that was in the early days. I was able to surpass that on Epinions. But those days are long gone.

@TheHorse Because I had a goal. I wanted to hit about $300 per month. Here, since that isn't possible, I don't bother with goals.

I have always tried to figure out how it works and I can't seem to grasp it. But me and another person have noticed that it is only updating every two hours now. At least for us. Which I hope it goes back to an hour because I seemed to get more that way.

I'm thinking your right Anna, as I keep looking and see it hasn't moved but it didn't really register. Weird! Btw how can you get Pixabay or other photos on your post? I don't see a provision for using anything other than downloading your own?

@MarymargII I just don't bother. On Bubblews, there were certain pictures that were used over and over, and I grew tired of them. But then, I often reuse some of my favorite pictures, so I shouldn't be righteous about it.

I didn't have any trouble with the Pixabay ones but don't see how to add them here.

My earnings move so slowly that if I watched at them closely I´d feel that they are frozen.

I haven't noticed for myself and don't expect my bank to move much today because I haven't been active much. Hopefully your bank is accurate now.

@TheHorse Is your bank working now? I think mine is. I am on here usually more in the evenings.

Ya my bank gets stuck then it will jump. There appeared to be some lag between interaction and €€ adding up

I've no idea. Sometimes I'll see mine move even if I've not been around a whole day, while other times it stands still even when I'm here a lot. I don't know exactly why, and I don't think Alex knows exactly how it works either.
