A vector illustration of a red driverless sports car was refused by Adobe Stock because of an intellectual property violation.

They were not specific. There are only two reasons I can think.

1. Driverless technology is owned by a company, maybe Tesla.
2. Red color sports car is owned by sports car company, probably by Ferrari.

New Sites - General / ArtStation
« on: October 27, 2022, 20:48 »
Who here has an experience with www.artstation.com ?

I just recently signed up with them. Uploaded just one. Will probably add more in the coming weeks. I would probably use ArtStation as portfolio primarily, as most other site users are doing.

General - Stock Video / Who is doing 2D animations?
« on: October 27, 2020, 04:40 »
Who is into 2D animation? How many animation videos do you have? Are you earning regularly?

I just need inspiration if you guys are doing good with animation. I currently have 16 videos, and 8 of them are animations. I have had these videos since 2016. I halted my animation uploads, because I lack the motivation because it's still not earning a single cent.

Anyone here who has experienced both?

iStockPhoto.com / iStock payment question
« on: February 26, 2015, 18:25 »
My money in January was 99$, then this February it reached to 180$. But I still see my earnings on my account now that is already past 25th of the month?

Would I receive my earnings at the end of next month March?

iStockPhoto.com / iStockphoto search
« on: February 10, 2015, 20:33 »
I searched using keyword "3D" http://www.istockphoto.com/illustrations/3d#145697c4

About 20% of the results are not 3D. It's so frustrating even with other keywords.  :'(

Symbiostock - General / A must read for all Wordpress users
« on: April 12, 2013, 22:41 »
If youre running a WordPress site, now would be a good time to ensure you are using very strong passwords and to make sure your username is not admin. According to reports from HostGator and CloudFlare, there is currently a significant attack being launched at WordPress blogs across the Internet. For the most part, this is a brute-force dictionary-based attack that aim to find the password for the admin account that every WordPress site sets up by default.

HostGators analysis found that this is a well-organized and very distributed attack. The company believes that about 90,000 IP addresses are currently involved. CloudFlare, its founder and CEO Matthew Prince told me earlier today, thinks the hackers control about 100,000 bots. As for the scope of the attack, Prince says that CloudFlare saw attacks on virtually every WordPress site on its network.

If somebody guesses your WordPress password, thats obviously a big problem, but attacks like this then open up ways for the hackers to take over your server and thats what whoever is behind this attack is clearly after. The CloudFlare team believes that the attacker is currently using a network of relatively low-powered home PCs, but the aim is to build a much larger botnet of beefy servers in preparation for a future attack. Home PCs can be the staging ground for a large denial-of-service attack, but servers have access to far more bandwidth and can hence push out far larger amounts of traffic.

This currently attack is similar to an attack in 2012 that was also aimed at WordPress sites. That attack, however, was looking for outdated versions of TimThumb, a popular PHP-based image resizer that is often used as the default by many WordPress templates.

Both CloudFlare and HostGator, as well as a number of other hosting providers, have taken measures to protect their customers. Besides choosing a very strong password which is always a good idea you can also install a number of WordPress plugins that limit the number of login attempts from the same IP address or network to put a stop to these brute-force attacks (though as WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg notes in a blog post this afternoon, changing your admin username to something ab it more obscure may be your best defense given that the hackers do have 90,000 IPs at their disposal). If your site is hosted on WordPress.com, you can also turn on two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security.

I would like this category http://cheapvectors.com/image-type/miscellaneous-images/ appear on my homepage.

I personally prefer the gallery on my homepage.


I've tried some samples I found on the web, but it seems it did not work since the category page is custom made by Leo (I think).

I uploaded the child theme.

And I got this result:

Unpacking the package

Installing the theme

This theme requires a parent theme. Checking if it is installed

The parent theme could not be found. You will need to install the parent theme, SYMBIOSTOCK, before you can use this child theme.

Theme installed successfully.


Anyone here have this same problem?

I tried re-uploading both the parent and the child theme, still the same. Reuploaded it using FTP. Still the same.

In the Themes page:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name   Description
SYMBIOSTOCK Child   The parent theme is missing. Please install the "SYMBIOSTOCK" parent theme.

Symbiostock - Suggestions / Buyout Purchase Button
« on: March 18, 2013, 23:38 »
Okay, I already have posted this suggestion in the first thread.

It would be cool if there's a buyout button for logos, or for even illustrations or photos.

Similar to TemplateMonsters' Exclusive option: http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/43791.html

I've attempted something like this in Illustrator, but I failed.

Shutterstock.com / Still requiring Passport for Contributors
« on: December 04, 2012, 21:50 »
Just a minor rant or sadness.  :-\

I've always wanted to join Shutterstock, but the passport requirement does not allowed me too.

Well, I live in the 3rd world country, so going out of the country is a luxury only for the few.

I hope SS accepts me, make me richer and process a passport (so that I could go out of the country).

Newbie Discussion / Hi, new here!
« on: December 04, 2012, 21:37 »
Hi my name is Jeffrey.

Looks like a busy microstock forum. I signed few years ago at microstockforum.com, but it was too quiet there. So I would probably have more time here.

I started doing microstocking at iStock in 2005, mostly vectors, then submitted a few photos too.

But recent changes at iStock made income really slow. So I decided to submit to other sites like Fotolia etc, and also putting up my own Wordpress powered stock site.
