In addition to stats not updating, I can't get the stats page to load AT ALL today.
The site is a little slow but i think everything is almost back to normal now. Stats have updated and pages are loading quicker. Sales have been quite good too
Anton, you're right, my stats are finally back and updated too. And sales were higher than expected!
And nobody said anything about the fonts?
I came back to ask you about DT!Have you looked at your ports on DT today? Have they changed the preview as well? (to a slighter lighter gray than IS)?

Stacey, don't bother coming to Caspixels defense here. I'd like to see why she chooses to as well.

You do enough damage to your credibility on your own. I'll leave you to it. you know what Lobo, a few people have kindly emailed me to let me know that pieman is you and I responded that there was no way because Lobo isn't rude or hostile, but doing his job and in general a classy guy. I'm very sorry and disappointed that this is actually you. obviously I was wrong about you, and you are definitely wrong about me. it seems that istock forum bullying follows us out to the real world too. * if this isn't Lobo, I'm glad because I'm not usually that wrong about people.
hey hoi ha - I just wanted to clarify that you are pointing your comments to pieman...his comment to me was very biting, and I waited for a long time tonight before replying to him and I hope my reply was as courteous as possible. I'd also like to share how upset this has made me. I'm not a shrinking violet, and in fairness to istock, I have been quite vocal recently. not so much about changes happening, change is very necessary, but because of how we are treated as contributors and buyers when these changes occur. I have always been a very positive, joking--and I hope--helpful participant in the forums. I have been sarcastic at times too, but usually jokingly and in a good hearted nature. my enthusiasm for istock has always been on my sleeve, and I have worked pretty hard to establish myself on the site. it seemed everyone was a good friend, including many of the admins.from almost the first post I made in disagreement with IS policies, announcements and decisions over the last few months -- I began receiving pressure from all sides. certain established istockers, who are clearly in bed with the admins, starting being very rude and overtly called me out in forums without consequence. I have been removed from admin creative networks and I have now realized that this has followed me out to this forum too.I am definitely willing to take my lumps, and anyone who knows me knows that if I ever learn of insulting someone, I am the first person to go right away and apologize. I have received so many calls, emails, sitemails from other IS users in the last few months telling me of their own experiences and how afraid they are to participate in the forums. they have asked me to keep on asking questions and not to let the pressure get to me and they have consistently told me that though I am asking tough questions, I always do it well and professionally. these are people I don't even know, who are taking the time to send me supportive messages and I appreciate it immensely.but you know what, it has been REALLY upsetting. I was actually in tears tonight when I saw that post. please excuse my language, but this kind of crap is so playground, it is unbelievable. I just hope other contributors learn from this. it isn't worth it to expose yourself in the forums on IS, especially if you plan on disagreeing with their policies or their attitudes. just do your work, upload and keep doing your best. that is what I am doing now, with eyes wide open. I agree with what you said hoi ha. this has been my experience. and as hard as it is, I see no point in reacting any further to them. I think sometimes that is what they want anyways.
iStock seriously needs to chill out. They are becoming the * of microstock, looking to silence any and all opposition. So a few people are disgruntled about their policies. So what? It was bound to happen the bigger and more corporate they become. But it looks really, really bad when their admins come onto other forums and personally attack their contributors and buyers.Seriously, WTH is going on over there with their culture and their business? It's like they've become wild animals, attacking out of desperation.
