Should I answer yes if the only images I have on TS are those forced through the recent changes?  I don't know if they are currently on TS, so choosing option 1 may not be currently correct.

Yes, that was kind of what set off this survey, the forced entry into subscriptions by IS. I'd say in theory, you will have images there? That's the second part, some people did say: "that's the last straw" and removed their IS accounts, so they get to say NO. 

Hey, you decide but please come back when you find your images are actually there and change it, or just pre-respond that they are going to be included?

I suppose that brings up another issue, which means I'll be hijacking my own survey thread?

Searching for your own images, I have found mine on http://www.thinkstockphotos.com/ under "Fname Lname" (real name!) from IS and also "FnameLname" no space, real name also. The one with the space is newer transfers from IS, the one with no space is StockXpert and IS. and yes, use the full quotes around your real name to search. Some people have claimed that single quotes work, I've found identical results no matter which way I do it. Don't know why it might make a difference to some?

Go to the search box, put your real name in quotes, and see what happens.


I've searched using my IS business name and nothing comes up. Real name, no spaces is what comes up on the iStock Contributor Charts site also, not business name.

One more month and I can close the StockXpert account, and change my vote. 

Jos�! eheh

I am on both

Soon there will be another option - Yes: from Zoonar

Cool, Zoonar can get images into ThinkStock when only IS does now? Interesting. Brings up the same question as some others. How will they know if I submit to IS and then apply from Zoonar as well. Who will sort out the Dupes?

Adjusted the poll.

I'm sure people will start posting updates when the gate to ThinkStock opens and files start getting moved in. Just in time for me to remove the small old junk I have on sale from StockXpert which will be blanketed by the new improved additions from everyone else. Might as well get out of the way because there will be a flood of better and newer images.
