G... almighty... what an embarrassingly unprofessional Error Page.

What's going on now?

Allow me to quote:
The glitch monsters are at work down in the dark internety room, but they sent a note up that said: "Dear You, Me fix broken thing. Sorry for trouble. Love, Monsters."

They, and the site, will be back up soon. In the meantime, we'd like to offer you 10% off your next purchase of 50 or more iStock credits using the coupon code below.

I agree.  I'll never understand why fixes aren't done on the weekend, november is the busiest month of the year (at least for me) and these are business hours still for the west coast.  And when I click on the twitter link it says the page doesn't exist. 

Yep.  Anyone who didn't see the 'we thought it had been hacked' screen.  Check out iStock right now.

this wasn't a planned take-down... this was a crash!

Because Istock don't work at the weekend and the office is closed.

So naive! I mean there are no words for this complete melt down!!!

It says down for maintenance, that doesn't sound like a crash to me.

if it were a planned thing, they would have immediately put up a professionally designed Error Page... like they used to.....

sure they are going to say down for maintenance.... it would be too embarrassing to admit our site just crashed....

It says the glitch monsters are in the internety room; that's a crashy-washy.

They seem to have lost the CSS link.

I thought you were joking, but ... no.

>They seem to have lost the CSS link.

Lobo probably fell into the spinning gears and gummed up the crankwobble.

Will you settle for "juvenile"?

"Dear You, Me fix broken thing. Sorry for trouble. Love, Monsters."

Sheeesh.....

I now understand why istockphoto.com has had so many glitches lately... the developers are 1st graders

It is __ and a major fucky-wucky too.

What are the language 'links' at the top meant to do? Nothing, as far as I can see.

Is Jay working on it again?

Screen grab it and send it to cnet for a Headline news!

I don´t know what to say. I seriously hope the site was hacked. I´d prefer that to what I am seeing.

The competition must be opening champagne bottles tonight.

I´m already getting the first concerned emails from other members of the German forum who can´t believe that istock would be so unprofessional.

They've changed it now to something marginally less toe-curling.

"Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Much better.

On the last day of the month to, I was having solid sales today. This is such a joke, how is a site that earns millions of dollars a day unable to operate.
