    No they didn't - that order is still in your analytics and therefore is still in the database. That is why it's still affecting your gig stats. CS, by the way, is trained to be a human shield between us sellers and managerial level - y'no, those people who can actually *do* anything about any of our complaints. No point blaming them - they're doing as they're told.

    Wow! That was rude. That confirms it: Fiverr's broken clock isn't even right twice a day ...

    "In today's dynamic digital environment [...]" - no one even scanned that article for the blindingly obvious ...

    @Yoav.M, when it comes to Fiverr webinars, past performance *is* indicative of future performance. These webinars tend to the basic, not really offering anything new or radical in the way of information. They seem to misunderstand the difference between "reassurance" and "clarity". They are, by the way, neither ... although I'm prepared to accept they're well intentioned. @emmaki's questions are reasonable, show a depth of understanding - and worry about - Fiverr's increasing use of AI. I like to think I'm pretty tech savvy, as well as knowing enough about AI to be dangerous. Emmaki's knowledge of AI vastly outstrips mine. And possibly yours ...

    To be fair, Fiverr has always been an hour out for as long as I've been here. Sign up for a webinar, supposed to start at 2.00 BST and it will start at 3.00 BST. Same problem with GMT. Fiverr just doesn't recognise that the UK actually *has* its own time zone, but thinks it should have the same one as France.

    Resistance is futile ...

    They were divorced shortly after that ... maybe Wendy's time off for good behaviour ... ?

    If you eat a meal in a restaurant and leave a tip, it's generally in the form of folding money. The server slips the whole lot into their pocket, smiles, says thank you and y'all move on with your lives. If, on the other hand, you don't want to or are unable to leave folding money, you add an amount to the bill when presented and pay with your credit card. This probably doesn't get noticed by the server. They're taxed on it, since it shows up in their pay. And the restaurant probably takes a cut, too. Moving on to how Fiverr deals with tips. It's the latter method, rather than the former. There's no way for a seller to be paid in cash - that would be communication outside Fiverr, which would be a breach of TOS. Fiverr takes 20% of *all* transactions. That's clear from TOS. Their margin is a good deal less than working through agencies, which margin is generally around 35%, only they don't tell you about that usually. Also, Fiverr is not a restaurant.

    Thank you. @emmaki - that's going to be really useful

    According to Moz, Fiverr has a 47% spam score. One wonders how it managed to stay indexed ... Still, google hasn't finished the core rollout yet, so there's more to come ...

    It's interesting timing for this announcement. Fiverr has 30 days to follow through, which takes us to May 3rd - 6 days before Q1 results are expected to be published. Today's market cap is just under $805m, so $100m is a significant portion of the current value. Are they really expecting share price to rise as a result of Q1 results?

    Thanks for this, @emmaki - great job!
  13. coerdelion
    Me, too!

    @emmaki- you may want to add a bit into your ebook about not using the same password for everything. Particularly Fiverr and their payment method.
  15. coerdelion
    Well, *that's* 🤮 I was joking - but the more I think about it, the more I'm behind that idea ...
  16. coerdelion
    I would certainly be willing to pay, say, $5 for a copy of that, complete with dissemination rights ...

    I just visited your profile and noticed the new order has, unfortunately, been unkind to you. Very sorry that happened to you. However, I looked at your gigs and noted that as @vickiespencer said, the reviews for each gig are defaulting to most relevant, with an option to change that to most recent. Ditto on your main propile. The reason the options you mentioned have disappeared is that they are now only available to Seller Plus members or TRS

    I suggest you familiarise yourself with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) under ADA. Here's the link: https://adasitecompliance.com/color-blind-website-accessibility/ Litigation under these guidelines is increasing, according to the compliance people and is costing companies a great deal of money every year. Ignoring the guidelines during the design process opens your clients up to being sued. Who do you think they will blame if they get sued due to your design not taking colour blindness into account?

    As you say, that's not a popular choice with those paying the bills. However, excluding 8% of the population out of ... let's say "determination", isn't a great solution either.
  21. coerdelion
    Yes, Userway solved a lot of problems

    I get it that you're proud of your design idea - agreed it's lovely. It is, however, fairly straightforward to adjust for accessibility - I had a fairly popular gig to do just that when everyone was panicking about ADA a few years back. For visual issues it's often just a question of increasing contrast, reducing flashing and movement, adding texture, differentiating saturation levels between colours and making interesting use of shapes. Frankly, the whole emojis thing could easily be solved by going back to stars ... Adding a screen reader doesn't hurt
  23. coerdelion
    Similar saturation in all the colours makes the buttons appear a uniform grey to those with colour blindness. This is not a personal criticism of you - or even your design, really. It's important to me, however, that visual impairments of all kinds are taken into account in design. Colour blindness, like deafness, is not often considered in design of anything. The reason I think about it is a result of various male relatives who are colour blind - their world is grey, so it's texture and movement that brings it to life. Also, accessibility in design for all folks with all kinds of challenges is important these days - ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) still exists and people are still suing companies under its terms.

    Colours are a great idea ... except for people who are colour blind - there's a lot of that about. Much of the confusion could be sorted out by making the emojis bigger, so that people could see more clearly what they're choosing!

    Having had three of them, I can only agree ...
