As far as I remember this feature was supposed to go live nearly in the mid February, right? I just curious if it happened already and if it did then when can we expect to get a CD bonus on our accounts :)
Also I wonder (if it's not of any secret) how much (in terms of %) customers pay for this feature :)

We should start shipping the first cds, and crediting accounts on shipment of the cdrom .. within the next 3 weeks or so (The first cd subscriptions started selling a week ago)

Will this be in a new column on our stats page?

Thanks.

Ah cool, I was wondering about this. So will this be credited when the CDs go out, or when the buyer buys the image? So if the March CDs go out April 2nd, will we see this adjustment in the adjustments column in April or in March?

Just the same as SL's query:

Do we see the adjustment when the CD goes out, or when the purchase is made?

Good question, Jon says the credits appear when the CD rom is shipped, so the 0.5 extra can appear on images purchased the previous month. This means we get the 0.5 displayed on the previous month but credited on the current month ? how's that gonna work?

Yep, I read that it gets credited when shipped, but the collumns show on every day, so will it show as the sales are done, or erm.. gets calculated backwards? why have a seperate collumn for it then...


Still confused...

I wonder if it went live or not yet? I mean - I saw nothing by the moment for CD sales. I hardly could beleive that from 800 sales in March not a single imgae was bought by somebody who used that feature :)

I've been wondering about this too. Haven't seen anything from this either.

Me, too. I also haven't seen the new column for CD sales yet either.

One thing I did notice, and y'all might want to check out on your own "Edit Your Account" page, is that at some point my "opt in" selection changed from "yes" to "no".

I did double check that a few days ago as a just-in-case, but that was fine. I don't believe a new column will appear, we should see the additions in our adjustments column.

We will be updating the stats page to include this.
CDs are just getting out now!

(see announcement)
