Haven't been able to log in this afternoon.  Keep getting message to check my login details to be sure they are correct.  Tried both username and email address with same results.  Re-keyed in password with no success.  Anyone else having (or had) similar problem?

Once upon a time, iStock being down felt like a major disaster.... not so much now.
Anyway, it seems to be working for me now.

Yes, there was a time when checking IS stats was important.  Definitely not the case anymore.  These days I only look about once a week or so just to see it there has been any activity.  Things seem to be back to normal this morning ... at least what passes for normal.  Some sales during the preceding week, but only subs apparently and only sporadic.  Nothing more or less than I had expected.  Continued disappointment.  :'(

We're already on the 25th of the month, and for the month, I've had the same number of credit sales as I used to get on a good (not excellent) day before they introduced subs. And it's not as though subs are increasing (not for me, anyway).

My month's sales are about half of what one ordinary day would have produced a few years ago and both PP and subs are dwindling. My total earnings from all iS sources last month were not much more than 10% of my BME (across all sites, my return is about 25% of what it was at its best - happily, I've set up other income sources to fill the gap).

^^ Bang goes the theory that involuntarily undercutting indies are scooping all the sales.

Not my experience - yes, total sales are down over what they were a few years back, by maybe 25%, though I've made that up from other sources, but April will be a BMY (although admittedly not on a very good year so far), March was a subs BME (by a small amount), PP is much as it ever was (not a lot) and GI for March was poor but then it always varies wildly so I'm not despairing on that.

But this is all OT.  The site isn't down.

I had the same login problem.  Deleting the (firefox) istock cookies seems to have worked.
