I experienced a brief outage a few minutes ago.  It's back now but a bit sluggish...

Down for me at the moment, but I'm in Athens so maybe just my connection here?

Yep some weird problem with the local ISP here... can get into everything except IS... very frustrating!

Is it still down? I keep getting the same files in the Newest Upload section like no one has approved any photos today. I've refreshed and tried different computers and get the same thing...

Of course, wouldn't you know as soon as I post my previous message a bunch of new images got through...

I just tried uploading a couple of times, and got a red x instead my image. Is this related maybe?

My sales were down by 90% today compared to yesterday!!!! what!!! Did anyone else experience this or have they toyed with the best match again? I know the site was slow and people had trouble uploading but what about downloads?

I am really getting frustrated with IS. Some of their rejections lately have been unbelievable but I just can't be bothered to send to Scout to wait for six months.

Seems okay to me. My DLs are off by 20%+, but that's normal. Things will be better tomorrow.

Regarding Scout: you should avoid using it. If the image is approved it will be added to the library with the upload date - not the approval date - being referenced. This means that it won't show up anywhere near the top of the heap when sorted by "Age" or "Best Match".

Site has been down intermittently today and there are reports of buyers having difficulty downloading.  I would imagine any sales issues can be traced to that.

I very much doubt they have had any time to monkey with the best match while they are busy with this server upgrade, or whatever it is that has been causing all the slowdowns and outages...
