Title: Invisible Istock

Hi

Since this morning, GMT, I'm not able to see the site and the forum.
Do someone know what's happening to istockphoto site?

It was working fine all morning for me, since 0900 GMT at least, but there were reports over there about whiteouts earlier this morning, and other worrying bugs:

Thanks Shady

I'm just able again to see and log in.

It's very strange, since this morning about 11 AM (GMT) I couldn't see anything of IS and of course I wasn't able to log in.

I tray with different browser and different operative system, probably some problems for a specific area.

Now on my side all seem to be regular

Just why would you look at iStock so early in the morning?
Thats something customers do.

Thats something customers do.
To see if I got any overnight downloads. It's not like I get one every five seconds and the novelty has worn off.
To start the day's uploads, if I have any.
To see what news there might be in the forums.

I have noticed that the longer you leave those companies alone, the better they sell.
F.eks. I lately revisited a low earning company after several months.
And goddammit, it had sold for 50 dollars or something of my pictures.
Thats more than SS does per day.

So best advise is to not bother much and visit them only rarely, then you have only happy surprises.
