I think that I will take vacation for few days until they fix it up.

Well, if anything they have done starts bringing in sales I am all for it, but it would be good if they work the kinks out of the upload system...

Hi Lisa!

Yep, I go along with that, anything as long as it brings in the dosh!  but Im still worried about their new search,  showing series of files, almost identical. Thats no good at all.

What I would like is the means to disable individual images, without having to write to Support and ask them to do it for us. It's a real pain and waste of everyones' time.

Hopefully this re-design is the first phase of a major marketing campaign.

Maybe I'm just being dense, but I can't find the link there to convert earnings to credits anymore   

Does it mean they are not going to shutdown after all?

It would make sense to ramp up their marketing efforts after the rebranding of the site if the rebranding was indeed planned at the time of the acquisition. We've been patiently waiting for some major changes for the better since the buyout. Hopefully this is the start of something good ...

I would take it that way. 

As far as I remember StockXpert did not do a site redesign after bought by Getty. 

A few observations after the first two days under the redesign...

1.  Uploads... at first I hated it, but ended up after a batch of six images thinking it wasn't so bad.  The auto advance feature is a nice touch to keep things moving.  But if you don't have a speedy connection, I can see how the new process could be a SLLLOOOOOOW one for you.

2.  Sales... sales for the past two days (Wed and Thurs) have been more than double those of the previous two, pre-overhaul days (Mon and Tues).  Maybe the new design makes for a better experience for the buyer and is already boosting sales?  Knocking wood....

I dono but sales from this first 4-5 days are about double on BigStock and 123rf too...
It seams that with redesign marketing campaign goes too...

I like the new design I think it looks much better than the old one with all those ugly colors . Now I hope they will also change their bast match too as I can hardly sell my new files ,which is so frustrating. also  getting rid of the 3month thing would be also nice  and of course this goes for  DT's 6month commitment as well.

I like the new site, but, for me, it won't load completely on Firefox. The images are missing. It works on IE.
