Today 'Admin' showed up on the StockXpert forum after a long absence. He gave brief noncommittal answers to a couple of long-standing questions about licensing and subs - but carefully stepped around the big thread at the top of the forum about 'no views on new images'.

Just totally weird.  It's like some goons from Getty took control of the office and herded everyone into the back room.

They have been doing great for me all along.  I am not bothered about low views on new images, they still sell lots of older ones.

Likewise - I never bother about views - I just watch out for sales!
StockXpert has also been doing really well for me.

Due to the recent changes thay cranked up the infrigement policies, got this e-mail today (totally justified by the way)

OK... Seems fair from them.
A question for all:

What if such image is marked as EDITORIAL?

I hear that they have made some strict shedule about payments... My payout is also still pending since May 18, 2009. But, since HAAP Media is in Hungary and they are in EU - no problems with Moneybookers expected from me.

Several sites have had delays with moneybookers in the past.  They sort it out after a few weeks.  I could avoid the delay by using paypal but I still prefer MB.

I was paid last month through MB in two or three of days, StockXpert was the fastest of the four (StockXpert, IS, DT and MP).

after months of steady decline (actually on a number of sites), I'm looking at BME on StockXpert this month, kind of amazed actually.  (also looking at one on DT & BigStock - 4 els in 1 day )
