Title: Help needed Istock Pay-as-you-go only...
Post by: fljac on February 11, 2009, 15:19
Hi all,
I've just started up at Istock, and I'm having a liitle difficulty understanding how the SUBS vs PAY-AS-YOU-GO only, works.

When viewing the portfolio, all images are marked with a small leve, stating thet "This file is awailable for pay-as-you-go only"

When viewing the upload list, I have all images marked as "Allow subscriptions"

Can any one enlighten me about the aparent contridiction in this?   ???

- And maybe even tell me how to actually make the images awailable for SUBS downlods?  ???

Thanks,

/ Flemming   ::)

Go into your Control Panel (link in top right). On the left side, there is a link that says "Contributor". Click on that and you will see a box on the right titled "Subscriptions" and you should check the "Allow" box and click the "All on" button.

It may take overnight for changes to be reflected, so if you just marked them to be allowed today, they *should* appear correctly after the site updates and the cache is cleared.

Thank you both.

whatalife: I tryed to do as suggested, and the seave dissapered imidiately - Thanks!

Vonkara: No I have not changed anything anywhere, related to this. The checkbox for "allow subscribtions" has been set on all images - and it still is... So aparently, this seems to work only after checking as suggested by whatalife...  Strange.... but still, as long as it works, I'm happy!   ;D

Thanks again both of you  ;D  ;D  ;D

How is it possible that I have earned only 0.15 cents for XS "Pay as you go"....

Usually that was 0,30 cents!

Does anyone know?

It depends on how much they paid for the credit with which they purchased your image. See this thread:

If you change things using a third party program like Deepmeta then it can reset your subscription and extended license settings. It's happened to me a few times.
