My On-Demand are way above normal too, but I'm not chalking it up to the IS factor. I think the trend away from IStock will be much slower than something noticed from month to month, but think it is happening.

Yup was delighted with the more than usual on demands yeterday, very rewarding 

OD sales have been growing in significance for me ever since they introduced them but particularly the last 2-3 months. EL's have doubled or trebled recently too. OD+EL sales now make roughly half my income at SS.

I don't really understand why SS doesn't just sell licenses via 'credits' like every other agency rather than their less-flexible 'image packs'. They seem to be very keen to keep distance between themselves and BigStock as they 'cater for different markets' so maybe that's why.

You can buy the full sizes via On Demand, if you buy the right package. See http://www.shutterstock.com/subscribe.mhtml, and op in for either 5 or 25 Downloads of the "All JPG and Vector sizes" OD subscription. Is it possible you bought the "Small & Med JPEG size only" package?
