Title: Application for new contributors closed!?
Post by: biedy on December 06, 2008, 17:17

Hi,

today, I have seen that istockphoto has disabled the application form for new contributors (both photos and illustrations). Do they not accept new contributors anymore? Any information about that?

Due to some server issues we have disabled the application process until further notice. We will keep you updated as we have information for you. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

There are forum threads on this at IS, and they are usually pretty quick to post updates on their Front Page Blog. No reason to think there's a shutout forever.

Ok now it's a glitch! But I was wondering; what if?  ;D

Well the macros do it, meaning close off contributors. I believe (I heard) Corbis is shut off at this time and is directing new contributors to SnapVillage.

I would prefer that they re-direct buyers to SnapVillage!
