Forum-detour trick not working anymore for keywording??

[Anyka]

For months I used the forum-detour trick to make my keywords re-appear after uploading to Istock. 
I found that trick here on MSG and it worked great!  As soon as you notice that all keywords, title and description have disappeared, you just visit the forums for a minute and voilà the keywords are there again... 
Only, today the trick did not work.  Tried again and again.  I even logged out, deleted all istock cookies, logged back in, jumped in/out of the forums ... NO keywords ...
What's up?  The bug has a bug?

Does anyone have another trick to solve the new bug?

Do you think these bugs are breeding?

oh nooooo!!!  Now I have to re-upload 20 photos 

Thanks for the link!
I'll re-upload tomorrow morning at work - they've got a leased line there, that's 10 minutes uploading instead of 1 hour at home ...

A little update :   according to Istock the keywords will be kept for 24 hours?  Well, it's less than that : not even 12 hours!  I deleted my uploads, uploaded them all a second time this morning, and now, 11 hours later, they've disappeared again!
But it works fine if you keyword/categorize immediately after the uploading.

FWIW uploading doesn't seem to be working at all right now.  Here's the forum thread:

Yeah I just got the code 42 error thing, whatever that means.
