I just don't know why it is taking so long to fix.
Basically because they don't really care. It's not a priority. They've designed a little competition to keep the children occupied with instead.
They've
said that they are treating this as a priority, but if this is how their priorities get handled I'd hate to see what happens to "regular" to-do list items!
And on the topic of the little competition, I just got a newsletter from IS and it said that 950 iStockers nominated work for the Stockys contest. That seems like an embarrassingly small number even given the subset of total contributors that are actively submitting to the site.
I didn't submit because I can't find an ounce of enthusiasm for a celebration given the slasher-movie games they're playing with our royalties. Perhaps others felt similarly?
950 is all? crazy. I feel the same as you and didn't submit anything either.
