Title: Bigstock slow?
Post by: dbvirago on May 10, 2007, 08:42

Anybody noticing a slowdown of some pages on bigstock? Recently pages, like the uploads page, that use to load instantly are taking much longer. They're not fotolia slow, but slow for BS

They are making more money for me each month.  Might not be as much as the top 4 sites but the extra $$$ are nice :)  There are much worse places to sell stock photos.

Yep...I am.  And it appears to be the same problem I'm having with CanStockPhoto.

I just tried to process my latest upload, and the page just kept loading and loading.  When I switched from Firefox to IE, I didn't have a single problem...got right in.  As I mentioned in the other thread, I recently upgraded Firefox to the 2.0.0.3 version (from 1.5 something), so I'm wondering if it isn't a browser issue.
