Not only the contributor site but also Shutterstock.com is not available.

The connection times out - "The server at www.shutterstock.com is taking too long to respond."

I am currently in North Africa and the site has been down for about 10 hours now.

I am able to connect using a VPN through New York.

That must explain dreadful earnings on SS yesterday. Without knowing this, it looked like they had pulled my portfolio...

Was SS down anywhere else in the world..?

No problems with access in Poland, but sales are dead.

I had trouble uploading new files here in New York using Firefox this afternoon but found a solution. I tried to upload the same 2 files four times - then I switched to Google Chrome and they uploaded just fine. I could access the site from both browsers, but uploads timed out in Firefox.

Have you tried a different browser? Hope that works for you! 

It's not working for me right now either - hope it is just a temporary glitch.

Just the news I was looking for, Sales down yesterday and today! Uploaded today just fine.

Dead in China as well.
Needs VPN to work.

I submitted some earlier today but now it is inaccessible again.  I hope the buyer side is working...

DROGA ! the stench smells of IStock before they sold it.
Really,  lower management have well been asleep at the wheel a long time ago,
(Rinderhart's thread as well as on Ss own forum, which also has 2 threads on this topic.

But who really cares,huh???  Lower mgtment, IT, Terminator Reviewers, etc their paychecks still get deposited.  ho hum !

Yup no access to the sales or contributor site

Yep Shutterstock is out here to now.

Out here in New York too no matter which browser I try

Isn't that the name of an 80's band?

Not working for me, USA.
