Title: Is Istock down again?
Post by: susieswe on September 11, 2007, 13:50
I've been lurking on this site so long so I almost thought I already had introduced  myself. Noticed today when I edited my profile that I hadn't, sorry for that. I've learned a lot through reading this site, so I guess I've been really impolite, getting knowledge without contributing. Not that I have that much to say yet...

I'm sick today laying in bed with a flew and didn't have anything else to do than start some public lightboxes on Istock... or at least I tried to. I haven't been able to log on to Istock for almost an hour now and I'm wondering if any of you have the same problems or if the site works for you?

Edited to say that I solved the problem by emptying my cookies folder and browser history.

They've been having big server problems since last Friday. The forums were shut down for a long time. I tried to buy two images there for a project I'm working on and the downloading did not work. My sales there have also been a small fraction of normal.

But the worst thing is that they are still reviewing and accepting images. They acceted a couple of vectors of mine which I had high hopes for, but the images will not get the views and maybe reviews they usually do when they go on line as new images. Oh well.

Still getting sales. Today a bit slow,  but otherwise not bad.

My sales are up somewhat today (Wednesday) but I just checked and my 3 newest images, which should have had several views at least and are selling on other sites, have 0 views. That is not normal.
