Chronic iStockphoto Uploading Disability

<< < (2/3) > >>

well i think if the problem gets big enough or if they eventually have enough things that people don't like they will definatly notice that people are taking their images elsewhere, and I seem to hear that from different place.  I as well have a portfolio at 3-4x larger on other sites.  I upload to istock periodically, but it is one of the last places I upload to, and don't often get around to it.

It's just a temporary routing issue isn't it ? It'll get sorted.

Get out and shoot some great pictures whilst they fix it :)

mnbvblah, istock hasn't even identified the problem yet.. or do you work for them and know something i don't? maybe you can make me feel better about things after you read this thread right through.. (please notice the dates)

No I don't work for iStock :)

But, in the first post on that thread which you linked to, there is reference to this probably being a routing issue. Which would certainly make sense. I've certainly experienced similar problems with other sites which were down to routing.

Routing issues are notoriously difficult to sort out quickly - somewhere between them and you there will be some computer which isn't working right. Someone brighter than me can probably point you towards a howto for route - tracing .... which would probably identify the point on the chain between them and you (or you and them - more significantly) which is causing the problem.

EDIT: somewhat ironically - I've been getting timing out issues with this forum over the past few days. The internets are like that.

mnb, maybe you could help us out by posting your knowledge to the thread yourself or informing the technicians  for us..They seem to be struggling with it and haven't made it very easy for those who want to switch ISP's - I want to know which ones to avoid but they won't tell me that either.
It's the 7th week now and the last word we heard from iStock was that it may be Canon cameras that are to blame.. It sounds far-fetched but you'll see it there in black and white. It's too late for me regardless - I'm about to lose my internet connection altogether.. I just hope that other contributors affected get it seen to before the 2 month mark. Btw, sitemails don't work either, but only sometimes..
