Title: Can't find my portfolio on ESP
Post by: stocker2011 on August 24, 2022, 17:32: It's been a very long time since I accessed the ESP contributor site and seems as if it's still very contributor unfriendly.

Could anyone please tell me how to find my portfolio on ESP?

Thanks.

I have no idea if you can access your portfolio via ESP.
I usually use the super clumsy method of searching within iS for one of my pics with an obscure keyword, then clicking on my name within the pic's page, which brings up my port.
I bookmark it which works for a while, but for some reason, the bookmark has always stopped working at some point, necesitating me to go through the clumsy method again. ::)

Open the ESP page and click on 'Upload and review content'.

Next, click the three lines icon top left and select 'Profile'.

This opens your contributor Profile page and there is a hyperlink, Istock portfolio name, in the Profile box at the top.

Wow, thanks - glad somebody knows how to use their system. I haven't uploaded anything there in years - are they still using that stupid CV or have they finally seen the light?

Not much has changed on their contributor site over the years. I use the Qhero option for uploading, and it's OK, but you still have to do the disambiguation stuff before submission.
