Old site or new site? In lists or on a torrent's description page? If lists, which viewing mode or is it all of them? Pictures which were previously permanently displayed or only revealed on hover?
A more detailed description of precisely what the issue, ideally accompanied by a screenshot or two, will more likely result in being able to offer advice on how to overcome it.
@sidneejmas I strongly encourage anyone who can afford it to donate at least once, regardless of having a ratio problem or not. It costs money to keep the site running, so I'm sure every penny helps.
I'm assuming ratio problems most likely affect newcomers, who are learning how things work, so consequently their up and down figures are relatively low. The more you use the site, the higher those numbers, and the less impact donating has. I'm currently on about 36TB up and 16TB down, so the donation would need to be significant to move the needle even a little.
Of course, at the moment donations are worth seven times the upload credit they usually are, so if you're thinking about donating, now is an extremely good time to do so.
Did you create the torrent using qBitorrent's Torrent Maker? If so, paste a screenshot of that here.
It should retain all the information from its last use, so all you need to do is open it as if you are going to make another torrent. Take the screenshot, then simply cancel it. Or use the example below to create a new version, if yours is a lot different, and try again with that.
If that fails, or you're confident your looks pretty much like this one ("Tracker URLs" needs to be EXACTLY like this one, not "pretty much") take a screenshot of the completed upload page, and post that here so we can see what you've filled in where.
@ianfontinell Got it. And only now, of course, do I see the clearly marked QUOTE button, right next to REPLY.
So if I was replying to @someone, using the REPLY button but wrapped your comment...
@ianfontinell I noticed that I no longer....
...as a quote, you would previously have been notified of that but now don't seem to be. And that's different to me just writing within normal comment text that " @namewithheldfornon-annoyancepurposes said he no longer gets... ". That's a mention which, I believe, you would get notified about.
Found my meds, btw, so I'll be quiet now, and go sit in a corner for a bit.
@sidneejmas Apologies. My sarcasm was obviously too subtle for you to detect.
You get upload credit for what YOU upload. You don't get upload credit for what others upload. If a torrent has 100GB traffic, and you have 4GB credit (on an original 2GB torrent) it means YOU have seeded the original 2G to get the torrent started, then a further 2GB in total. Others, as they have finished leeching - not necessarily from YOU - have uploaded 96GB between them.
Do you seriously think you should be given the upload credit for what these others have uploaded? Would you be happy if you seeded 50GB of data, yet received credit for none of it because that was given to the torrent originator? If you thought you would, or think you should, then maybe @ianfontinell 's original comment was not that wide of the mark.
The total amount of traffic is completely irrelevant. What counts is how much YOU have uploaded. Obviously you CAN upload, otherwise the torrent could not have been grabbed by others, but once another person also has even a part of your original upload, they can also be seeding other leechers.
The "decision tree" behind who seeds to who and when is a level or two deeper than I can explain to myself, let alone others, but there is one.
If you're convinced there's an error somewhere, it's fairly simple to test/check. Both uTorrent and qBittorrent have columns to display the total amount uploaded. Simply take a look at that. That is the number that should have been credited to you.
The Tracker URL is vital. That's the core bit of info. so it's likely the cause of your failure.
That will always stay the same for every torrent you upload here, and it will stay there in Torrent Creator's memory until you delete or change it. I'll type it below, so you can just copy and paste it:

Make your torrent again, but with that, and ONLY that, in "Tracker URLs", then select that new .torrent file in the Upload page.
Hi @supergey
First off, check what you've actually uploaded. What client are you using? qBittorret and uTorrent both have columns you can add to display this. In qBittorrent, right-click while hovering over the column titles (1). It's th same in qBittorrent, if I remember correctly. I'm sure other clients will have this facility too.
The number of times a torrent has been loaded has no direct relationship with how much you have uploaded yourself, other than the first 100% or so to get at least one person fully seeded. After that (during it, even), leechers become seeders. It's quite possible that you upload something once, and everything thereafter is seeded by others. That's unlikely to be absolute in my experience, but it's not uncommon for me to have seeded only 220% yet there are a dozen completed uploads showing. I have no idea how the decision tree driving everything works out who is going to seed what!
Once you see that figure you'll be more certain about how much you've actually uploaded and can judge if you feel it falls short. Remember that ratios are calculated from the total you've uploaded and downloaded. If these are both low, a small addition can make a noticeable difference. The larger those totals, the more it takes from an individual upload to move the needle. For example, I was seeding one continuously at 1-1.5mb/s for most of yesterday, and was pleased to notice my ratio ticked up by one percent.
Once you have that info, send details to the helpdesk via the link in the main page's toolbar. Only they have access to the info needed to look at this specific case.
Don't forget to tell them the name of the torrent, perhaps even include a link to it. I suspect a screenshot of the torrent in your client might also be useful. Thereafter, I'm sure they'll ask for any additional info they need.
@apollonius It's just possible that I managed to find this particular Seiya. Could it be https://md.gvdb.org/5670/ ? If this is the same guy, that link lists many (though I doubt all) scenes he has featured in. From that, you can see the other performers that have appeared along side him in each scene, though it's not a small task to undertake!
If not, if you're not already aware of this site, it would be a good place to start your search. The homepage is https://md.gvdb.org Note that you may have to turn off your VPN to access it, unless you use a browser via split-tunnelling. It's a newly introduced "feature" which is certainly blocking me. There is usually at least one image for each performer. The search function seems to allow multiple filters - or at least, the above was one of the hits when I searched "Seiya 2011".
Another site you might try is https://www.gvwiki.com/search though I'm less familiar with this one, having only recently discovered it myself.
As an Englishman, living in England, and happily|proudly displaying far more than a hint of Englishness, I've never once been on the received end of hatred because of that, nor seen or heard of others encountering it.
Given the ridiculousness of that statement, one has to question whether the rest of this is equally well informed.
@apollonius Glad you've moved a step or two closer. The language barrier certainly adds a whole other level of difficulty!
Is this a "stand alone" scene or a full length video? If the latter, many have the "DVD cover" shown at the start. Or perhaps there was a cover image along with the video file where you got it from?
If you can grab an image of that, and zoom in, at the bottom of the spine, or sometimes in the blurb that would be "on the back", they give a reference number in English. (Well, not English, but in Western script. I temporarily forget the correct term for this!)
If you can find that - often with COAT it starts COCO___ or, easier, COAT1234 - that site is good at listing all the performers in that title, and the other references it's also known by. For some reason, most Japanese AV producers seem to think it's necessary for the same scene to have half-a-dozen different references!
@hohp2806 Thanks for the info. Nothing leaps out as an "Ah ha!" moment.
I'd recommend sending a message to the Helpdesk from the main site. Give them all the info you've put above, and name one or two specific torrents they can take a look at. If you're also able to grab a screenshot or two - like the one I posted - and include that, that may be helpful.
The Helpdesk have access to the behind-the-scenes data, so they can compare what should be happening with what is actually happening. That's a good place to start investigating why it isn't!
There are a lot of potential variables here, so the more information you can give, the more likely someone may spot where a problem might lie. For example:
Is this happenning right now, with new / existing torrents or are you talking about traffic from a couple of day ago? There was an issue for several hours then, where information wasn't being collected in real time. It did eventually resolve itself, but if you had stopped and restarted your client during that time, you would most likely have lost any traffic data. (Though I believe that would have been both traffic down and traffic up.)
Sorry, you did say "From My Torrents page", but what link are you clicking? Both the title and "Edit" are links. I think one takes you to the "normal" page view, while the other takes you to where you can edit the torrent, if it's less than a week old.
Is there any information you can give that might help people diagnose where the problem might lay? "This doesn't work. Why not?" doesn't really give us a huge amount to go on! For example:
Are you doing this in the old layout or the new layout?
Is this a torrent you have just created or one you did a while ago and are returning to?
From where are you clicking a link that takes you to a 404 page?
Is the new torrent showing in your "My torrents" list?
Does it show up when you search the title in the site with scope set to "All" rather than "Active" (or "Dead")?
@Supergey OK, same as I'm viewing. As I said before, I'm seeing no issues. The usual checklist I go through in these circumstances is:
No guarantees any of these will have any effect, of course, but all worth a try to at least eliminate some possibilities.
@Supergey I've not noticed any issues today from my side. Is this when viewing the new site layout, the old one, or both? Have you tried switching between the two views to see if thee's a noticeable difference?
If you don't yet have access to the new layout, there's a "sneak peek" link in this thread: https://community.gaytor.rent/topic/68954/how-do-i-make-the-new-layout-permanent

I've noticed this too, and hoped that this was an issue at the site end rather than mine. This seemed most likely, as another site I seed at, to a lesser extent, is showing me seeding the same number of torrents as my own client says I am.
No doubt this will be resolved in due course, hopefully sooner rather than later if seeding records are being lost. I keep glancing at one particular torrent I've been seeding constantly at 1-1.5mb/s for several hours now, and wondering at what point I should start crying. 
@sidneejmas Apologies. My sarcasm was obviously too subtle for you to detect.

@sidneejmas Do you receive upload credit when you seed torrents you didn't upload? Why are you penalising those torrent uploaders by taking credit when, obviously, 100% of all traffic on each torrent should have gone to the originator?
