Title: anyone get any dl since site maintenance today?
Post by: VB inc on November 08, 2010, 17:04
I havent. Probably jumping the gun here but lately i just dont trust istock. I would like to hear that buyers were still buying and it is being recorded and contributors are getting paid for it while this so called update with hardware is in progress. they have to increase their profits by 50% at any costs  ;)

I got 4 dls today, 3 were from this morning and one at 3:22 pm.
But I accidentally clicked on the file number and got this:

File Edit
File editing has been temporarily deactivated for all users. Please try again later.


I'm going to go over and see if that means no more deactivating. I will report back.

OMG, the site is excruciatingly slooowwwww.

No, it looks like deactivating is still activated. Yay.

 I got 5 dl's before 8am & currently at 6 dl's after.  Sales seem pretty normal.

Well, it certainly has not been a very good day.  I don't know whether the site maintenance has anything to do or not, but the stuck in agency pics may affect sales.

I noticed these problems as well. As one iStocker said: "Agency You can check it out any time you like, but you can never leave"

They are making the search incredibly cumbersome and difficult to deal with. I also noticed when I clicked to see the Agency collection (just for sh*ts and giggles) that they have stacked the search with all the old high selling images that were Vetta or in the regular collection, then moved to Vetta then to Agency, just to make it look like a hot selling collection. I like searching by 200 per page and by the third page, all the images had zero downloads. IMO, it's deceptive and dishonest.

Seemed like a good day until I went to bed, then woke up with the same DLs as the night before and to find that my uploads didn't go through...
