Post by: GeoPappas on March 20, 2007, 06:43

Does anyone know what is going on at IS that their servers seem to be down?

They have decided to make a change where keywords must be entered by whacking you head against the keyboard.  If you do spellling mistakes, they will be reject and can not be resubmitted.

leafs thing to the right says they are now back up (were down a few minutes ago)

If they did come back online, they're off again now.

As I only just joined last month I only have a small portfolio with them, however I had a steady trickle of downloads, that suddenly stopped on Friday. I wondered if anyone else had experienced the same.

Things always go very quiet over the weekend, on all the stock agencies. Your downloads drop dramatically, and if you only have a small portfolio you could well have none.

For example, I currently have a portfolio of just over 600 images on IS. I can get between 15-30 downloads a day on weekdays. But at weekends this can drop to 3 or 4. Sometimes even none.

It's called 'ebb and flow'
