Post by: Microbius on March 14, 2011, 04:25

(or in a way that's actually understandable, is anyone else missing the link to the upload page?)

I wonder if it's related at all to this....

Something's not right. It feels as if the entire site is about to implode.

Maybe, or maybe another site bug?

It almost seems that their entire IT team just got up and quit. There's so much stuff that's broken just within the last month or so it's as if no one's even bothering to mind the store anymore.

I managed to track it down by going to my_uploads then clicking edit on one of my existing files.
It shows up on the left where it should be then!

Mine is where I usually find it -- from the bottom left link under contributor tools.  But the "My Uploads" page is screwed up yet again.  They're messing with it almost daily now.  With so much broke on the site, I wish they'd leave the stuff alone that is at least working, or find a dev environment to play with rather than the working site.

Don't bother if you want to upload editorial images. There's some sort of bug which is causing <No UBB characters to be used in caption> errors, even if you don't have any UBB characters in your caption. And I guess it's still another four hours 'til work starts for the day in Calgary.

Added: and that includes the resubmission I had to make for not having a comma between the month and the year. Of course that wasn't what the rejection notice said. The rejection notice said I had to put month-date-year.
I am totally hacked off with inaccurate rejection notices.
I am totally hacked off by the way they didn't design an upload form that made all these stupid caption rejections unnecessary.
One of the first editorial submissions I made was rejected because there was 'limited commercial use in RF' for the image. Given that it was an editorial submission, I would nope there would be NO commercial use. We'll see what Scout says.

Use the myUploads_fixes script listed here: http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=297012&page=1 (http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=297012&page=1)

It will add the left column back in if missing.
