Title: Fotolia down?
Post by: PowerDroid on December 16, 2009, 12:10

Anyone else having trouble seeing Fotolia today?  Seems like for the past two hours I've been able to see the site about 1 in 10 tries.  No error message or anything, just a blank screen.  If buyers are seeing the same, there goes today's dl's!

Yes, I had the same problem.  Clearing my cache, cookies, etc. seemed to help for a bit, but now I am back to not seeing it. :(

Now I'm seeing it again.  Maybe I just had to vent and it magically was fixed.  I wonder if between FT and BigStock experiencing downtime, maybe the sites think this is a good week to do maintenance, anticipating lower activity from customers.  But I'm seeing the opposite... this is my BWE so far!  I hope the downtime on the sites is kept to a minimum, at least for customers!

Same problem here, but when I can see the site, sales seem to be good for the day. Maybe it's just a contributor thing...

Same here, only saw the site early in the morning. They must do some big maintenance after accepting two of my files (from a serie of 30...) ;D ;D :D

It's been down again for me for a while... but it just came back up, and it appears I had another 6 or 8 downloads during the time I couldn't see the site, so I guess the good news is that at least some buyers can see it and the downloads are being tracked through to my account.

For me it is still not working using Firefox. Internet Explorer works fine though.

Odd. Thought it was me. I couldn't see it on IE8, but could on another computer running win2k and ie6. I then tried the UK site and it loaded on IE8 and after that it worked fine.

Just happened again. I couldn't get to http://www.fotolia.com/, (http://www.fotolia.com/,) but I could go to http://en.fotolia.com/ (http://en.fotolia.com/) and after that http://www.fotolia.com/ (http://www.fotolia.com/)

To answer Peter, reporting tech problems to Fotolia isn't something that has been a pleasant experience in the past. They can figure out their own problems
