I'm not panicking at all. But yesterday I said there were some changes going on, and some said nothing was being changed. Turns out people have been having issues for months...my problems just started showing up all of a sudden yesterday. I guess I was lucky!

I just tried a search with "deer AND road" and got 158 results. Maybe you should reset your advanced searching options in case you have something unintentionally changed.

Well, resetting the advanced search won't hurt to try when the search isn't working as you expect it to. As Andrew (rogermexico) said in a previous post sometimes the advanced search settings will change if you click on a lightbox link from another user (it's a glitch they said they are working on). Even if you never use advanced searching it can apparently still be changed ... like it did in your audio settings that Lobo found.

Re: TS dig...that's funny! Thanks for the compliments, Tom.

It wasn't aimed just at you. Every time someone can't access a site we start to see "XYZ is down, I can't login...", "Uploads are broken at ABC is the site down?" which in the bigger Internet picture, happens every day. 

As for IS, I've been seeing strange things for two weeks. One day it's one flaw, the next day another. WHole sections and toolbar buttons, come and go. My search was working fine until I went to your portfolio and looked to see if it had downloads showing, and then my Advance settings mysteriously reset. How's that for strange?

There are things going on, but probably programmers making adjustments. When you go back and hour later or a day later, nothing has changed.

Thus a general message to the forum = Don't Panic.

Speaking of A, B or C being broken, did anyone else notice that uploading was deactivated? I know they were having some problems with the categories, so I assume that's the reason.

Here it is:

Uploads will be turned off on Wednesday, June 23 from 8am until Thursday, June 24 at noon (all MST). During that time Contributor Applications, Moo Cards and Prints will also be unavailable.

The downtime is necessary for us to replace some of our servers. The team will work hard to make sure it runs smoothly.

Beardless and yesterday mutated kid and too early baldy guy with wanabee stilish hat are talking about search-find-buy dilemma.

I think some of iStock bosses want to dig money out from iStock for invisible redesign so they "hire" kid to pay them provision crumbs for nothing and then he will transfer real mony in they pocket.
BTW that they will bee thousands of bugs and glitches how we will feel that something is going on there.
After all result will be zero  

You may need to adjust your seach settings by clicking on the advanced search and selecting the relevant Show/hide file details tickbox.

This also reset for me last night, so I guess its an indication they're playing with something on the site. I'm hoping that goes some way to explaining a poor weekend of sales...

Suljo, maybe you are just too old

It's very well visible on the video. The kid with the 70-ish hairdo is obviously very nervous as a tech guy not used to public performances, and Rogermexico talks him through in a very supportive way.

The remake of the IS sitemap looks very good, giving the buyer more screen real estate. The usability study was obviously very thorough, observing buyers in real time. The only remark is that submitters will need more clicks to get to their stuff. Of course, buyers should be the focus and not submitters.
I wonder why IS didn't give submitters their own page, submit.istockphoto.com. In that case, you don't have to make compromises on the landing page. It works well for Shutterstock.

I always like fake puritans and soul keepers.
So what if he is nice guy, it doesnt mean thay you must bath with him and pick fart bubbles together.
I dont have nothing about them, I just have my opinion in which amateur way is video done from the "best stok site".

@FD-regular
On they "redesign" I only see that they move search window in line with logo 
Maybe site map was flat so if they change few things that dont be called redesign and they will be payed less.
I agree with concept buyers in front but that means that for us will be more painfull.
Why they are not talking about that they will keyword our images and put them in they fairy tale CV, or dont reject our images for few wrong keywords for they 80% of royalty from us?
Everytime is story how to screw us more.

If they make home page for submitters they will drop down in top 500 ww by factor of 2 or 3 on the list and they of course dont like this idea 
Anyhow they will drop down in SEO after redesign and I just can imagine how many bugs and glitches will be after that wannabe "redesign".

Michealo stay well and hold soap well too. 

Yep.


It will be at the bottom of the page. No scrolling necessary.
