I am running level 3 missions and on about half of them I would get bounties for the ships I killed. When I clicked on ship info the amount of bounty would appear to the right of the red "WANTED" label.
Since early yesterday I have run approximately 30 missions and not a single ship has indicated any bounty amount. At first I thought I was just getting the wrong missions, but this morning I just ran "Pirate Invasion" which I know used to give bounties because I noted the bounties I got from the different ships, some of which were over 100k ISK.
Surely if ship bounties had been deleted there would be a good deal of squacking on these forums, but I have looked and seen no mention of it.
Why do I no longer see any bounty amount for any of the mission ships I kill?
Thanks for your help.

Are you fighting against drones in these missions? Are you fighting against another faction in these missions?
Neither gives bounties. Instead, drones drop alloys (sometimes special drone parts) in their cargo hold as the payment for the kill. The faction ships (like if you're fighting against Amarr, Caldari, Minmatar, or Gallente) instead drop insignias as payment, which you can thereby use to claim items at the LP store, sell to other players or NPCs.
I've been getting all the bounties I've been expecting from ratting and missioning.

Also Qaija, you know that all your bounties are added together and delivered as a packet every 15 minutes? As in, you no longer will see "120,000 for killing Pithi Executor" insead you'll see something like "[r]2,400,000 for killing Pirates in Motsu" or whatever.

The individual bounty amount is also printed in the Selected Item window when you single click the rat.

Yes, you are right Ulstan. I just went back and checked and I did gain ISK. Was there a recent change within the past few days where you no longer see the bounty amount when you click info on a ship? I used to do that all the time to determine the amount of bounty.

Yes. They changed it to some 15 mins to lessen the stress on the database. Now the client does not have to access teh database everytime you pop a rat, but only in 15 min cycles.

hmmmmmmm
Well, there seems to be a difference of opinion regarding whether bounty amounts are still listed among ship info. I don't see how including this info would slow down the servers noticeably as it is just a small amount of alphanumberic data..... and I do know that it takes some time (didn't know it was exactly 15 minutes) to show the increase in ISK. This has always been the case since I began playing just before Christmas. The fact that I can no longer see what the bounty is for a ship is new, for me at least, within the past day or two.... Nm as I have submitted a petition.
Thanks guys for your inputs!

Pirate bounties are displayed when you pull up the info menu on the pirate.

Rat bounties still show up in the "show info" option on the rat, unless its faction/drone of course.
Your wallet is only updated every 5 minutes or so with a lump sum, although you can mouse over it to see a (partial) list of the rats that make it up. generally it gets truncated if your running missions.

Bounties are showing up on my overview. Not sure what your problem is. ---------------------------------------

Well I'm probably the only one stupid enough to not know this...... but I'll post it here in case anyone else ever has the same problem.
I finally determined that I had inadvertently "pinned" the "info" window. I don't understand (stupid, remember) exactly what pinning does, but I suspect that whenever I went to info a ship it showed me the same ship every time, which, of course, did not have any bounty.
Once I unpinned the window, the bounty amounts were there once again.

You should bug report that. Pinning a window should lock down its size/position only, not its contents.
