Yes. Not the same kind of down though. I'm not getting the standard Firefox can't connect or the Dreamstime error page. I'm getting a network error connection refused error. WTH?

Already flagged in this thread : Dreamstime sales not showing. Should be around four hours but seems to have run over that now. Regards, David.

Great. Hope they aren't "fixing" their search engine, ala istockphoto, so as to manipulate everyone's sales.  ::)

It's almost six hours now (european working hours).  Well, I'm not happy.  :-\

In some threads Serban/Achilles frankly wrote - they are doing this ( moving photographers up and down in relevance search results). But for this they need not to switch of their server, it is usual action!

From what I can make out, the programming changes to introduce the new pricing created problems with the contributors' part of the site. The downtime is to repair or rebuild or whatever they have to do to put that right, nothing to do with the search.

The site's back up but doesn't seem to be any better off than it was. Long delays going from control panel to profile and sales numbers are still not consistent. It does show the latest upload now though.
