Hat,

Perhaps it depends on the area of the world one is in, but did you mean Valentine Day images?  I'm seeing Valentine images here in the USA.  Surely nothing to criticize there.  I mean, Valentine's was only 2+ weeks ago.  I give FT the benefit of the doubt as maybe they're concerned about designers who are already working on next year's Valentine projects (same with Christmas).  :D

I wonder why they are all so reluctant to change front page images more often. I don't know how difficult thing that is to do (as I am not a web designer or a technician) but it shoudn't be too much hassle to give fresh looks to their front pages.

I have sold at least one picture of easter eggs every week for the last year (including selling one on dec 24 and dec 26 (but not 25th :)

I reckon I have sold as many 'hearts' etc type images since valentines days as I did before it, well it would be close anyway (I think it was those guys that got in trouble for forgetting valentines day :)

and I sold christmas decs about an 1 hour ago :)

Hey, they're not the worst...StockXpert just changed THEIR home page image (remember that dang rainbow?) that was up for at LEAST a year...and theirs isn't even animated. In their defense (I'm a web graphics designer), it is fairly laborious to select, crop, and code "rotating" graphics all of the time...and merry easter valentine's to all as well :P

I hadn't noticed Christmas images still showing up, but Valentine's yes.

This year they didn't pick any one mine for Easter.  :(
