To submit images to these lightboxes, please go here
http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?action=istocklightbox

The images submitted to the lightboxes should be clearly related to the subject.

Don't know if anyone is reading the old thread so will post this here as well:

Regarding the lightboxes...

Can one remove an image from the lightbox and replace it with another...ie rotate the 5 images, or even just remove them if you wanted to?  I forgot you could only put in 5 when I initially submitted them.

Guess you are still reading the old thread

I have to do it manually (perhaps i will make an automatic thing in the future)
If you want to delete an image from a lightbox, send me a link to which image you want deleted.

Are the lightboxes upgrading correctly?
It seem that there are the same images as yesterday. There is only 1 of mine of my 5

i think so

Istock sometimes takes a day or so before the changes are made public.  Say which images are missing for you and i can double check?

Hi, I was adding my vectors to the lightboxes and a thought suddenly occured to me... is it ok to add vectors to your lightboxes? Or you need photos only? If you don't accept please remove my vector. I'm new at this lightbox thingy and took days to figure out how to do it. Haha!

Hi leaf,

I tried to add some images to the Nature lightbox, but I get a message telling me the banner is not in the description field. But it is.
Is this something you could verify? Thansk in advance!

Images are: 6347880, 6285255, 6047941, 5433121, 6267119

Keep up the great work!

it looks like you have a few extra characters in the code.  Try replacing the code (copy and paste) using the code that the tool gives you (when it says the code isn't there).

Let me know if you don't get it to work.

I was able to add them 
Thanks for the help!!

Arjan

Hi Leaf,

Love the lightboxes with the list of them all including the code.  Just had a question.  If I already have images in existing lightboxes, how do I get them to show on the page with the lightbox list?  Can I just add the image ID into the desired lightbox and hit submit or will that mess you up because they are already in there?

Thanks,
Stacy

no, that is the best way.

Just 'add' them like they were new images and things will work out.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Great idea for showcasing onse images and promote Microstockgroup at the same time: I've been in stock photography for a little over a year and found this forum only last week.

May I suggest one more Microstockgrou iStock lightbox - "Tavel" for all those images from the exotic locations.

EDIT: Is it possible to make "Insert Image" text in the upper left section ("Istock Lightboxes") into a link, which points directly to http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?action=istocklightbox ?

 
It is working.
I had two DL on two files (one on each) I have just add to the summer lightbox.
I am quite sure it is thanks to the lightbox.
Thanks again leaf, hope you are all having great time in Malta.

Leaf,
images number 4218368 and 6147928 still missing in the tech lightbox...

I'm new to MSG and I'm trying to contribute to the lightboxes. Thanks a lot for this chance and, especially, for the automated script. It works like a charm. Brilliant work.

Hi Leaf:

I added the following images to the related lightboxes and am not sure if I did it correctly, please advise.

Thanks much,

Stinky,

You have to add the banners in the images.  Get the proper codes here:
http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?action=istocklightbox

Only images with the banners will be added.  Anyway, Leaf is away and I think he has to do some trick before your images appear in the lightboxes.

Regards,
Adelaide

Hi Adelaide:

This is what I did:

1) I click on the image and select "add to a lightbox"
2) in the new lightbox section, I type in the lightbox name, copy and paste the url code into the description box, and click "add"

What am I  missing?

Thanks in advance,
Stinky

Ok, i think things are up to date again now.  Let me know if your images are missing or there are other errors.

Sinkyjess, you have to add the image numbers using the tool located on this page
