Why Round Off?

AffiliateHound · #1 August 3rd, 2010, 02:09 PM

Ever since their update early last week, on LS's home page Quick Stats, the figure for commissions is no longer an exact amount, but rather is rounded off to a dollars-only total.

Does this bother anyone else?

Why would they do this?

It makes this thing spin a little bit faster

I get vertigo waiting for this thing to do it's dance.

I'm not too happy about this.
What else are they going to do next time? Their new reporting was a disaster from the ground up and it's not getting better.

Does it? Mine still spins very sloooow. I hate that thing.

The "round off" makes the stats looks like it was from lead programs. Not sure what they are doing. But I really don't care. Only wish their reporting system be a little faster. Or they can simply bring the good old legacy report system back.

MayFly, for 50¢ you can have this one:

It's might be smaller, but... It's faster!

Hi AffiliateHound,

I will talk to the tech team about getting the exact commissions amount back and not rounding off. This may have been done unintentionally.

Almost six weeks later and totals are still rounded off.

Hi AffiliateHound,

I apologize for not getting back to you here, however I did notify the tech team in August. The issue should be fixed by middle of next week during our scheduled maintenance.

I am guessing that is a new avenue to save some cash
