"Sat to work and got a laugh from the devolpers at t.co/EfNu4StT. Check their "site is down" page."

Just seems like a weird response to that page. Maybe the text is funny and I don't get it. I just thought it was missing its CSS or something.

maybe you have to be a total nerd to think it's funny...I'm only half-nerd.

And then there's the guy who said none of this is IS's fault. Say WHAT?!?!? Shocked

He must believe monsters lead by Jay run the place.

Everyone see the same. It wasn't hacked. It crashed with some very serious problems, and they are not able to pick it up from the back-up.

1979SUCKS? It's getting worse and worse. This is beyond nightmare.

"1979SUCKS" as a coupon code?

If IS didn't get hacked they really messed with a lot of serious customers - and not in a good way...

Where do you guys see the 15% off text? It's not on IS homepage.

It was on their error message page earlier, it was on twitter, and several affiliate sites have it listed. They might not be publicizing it now, as it's no longer on the error message page, but they did earlier.

I was hoping they went offline to find all the sales that I am missing, but they must have forgotten to update as it looks same as this aft.

And with what looks like all of the same problems as before. Did anything get fixed? Or was this just meltdown recovery?

I think the childish error messages show the source of all of the problems.

Unreal.

It's a pun on 'moustache', from the 'Movember' event, where people can grow a Moustache to collect money for cancer research. Apparently, Istock is participating.

They didn't voluntary took the site down to fix the problems. The site just crashed and they had really hard time just getting it back.

They did announce 48 hours ago that they were going to push through some bits of code last night and the night before to fix some old bugs. The best guess might be that they broke something important while they were tinkering and maybe had to fight to restore the status quo ante as the best option in a crisis.

I'm sure the childish error messages were just an attempt to laugh off the seriousness of the issue and downplay it.

My, how we chortled.

I get the feeling those Cancuks are completely lost and out of control and all over oDesk looking for some php coders from India to sort it out. I've been down that road and the results look consistent.

The good news is -- At least the inspectors are approving my stuff in less than 24 hours.

The bad news is -- none of the images are being posted to the main database.

Oh well... Roll Eyes
