You can still get to "upload" but clicking on "My Account" in the bottom left, then click on "Contributor Tools" and it's right there. no need to go to sitemail for it.

So intuitive! Besides, "my account" doesn't do anything when I click on it. Is it a pop-up window that my blocker stops? Or does it just not work in Firefox?

it is supposed to pop up - it does for me and I'm using Firefox, both on windows and mac.. latest version of it.

I seem to remember her asking me if I wanted a little cheese with that whine when I complained about a rejection for a different reason altogether following a resubmit of an image! Probably 2004 or 2005. She became an inspector, briefly, I think. But that was back in the days of Peebert and a somewhat more wild west atmosphere
Sounds like me.
And yeah, I was an inspector for a while. It was definitely a different place way back then.

whoa! I didnt recognize you Kate, didn't realize you had changed your handle to "yawning dog" --- reminds me Niilo. Yeah, those were the good ole days when just the mere mention of purple would set off a flurry of NSFW posts.. lol! good to see ya -- tho I'm sure you don't remember me as I was usually too afraid of peebert to ever post much.

I remember you.

just stumbled on your blog (yeah, I follow people's links)... good reads!

I can't find that in the bottom left - where is it?
I only see the Shop iStock links at the bottom left.

Are you thinking of contributing to other stock sites?

Peebert...ah yes, I remember well. After hearing a few of his "special comments", I stopped visiting the IS forums regularly. Lobo took up where Peebert left off.

I am pretty sure they took that side navi away so that the My Uploads page would fit better in the browser (width-wise). You can still get to "upload" but clicking on "My Account" in the bottom left, then click on "Contributor Tools" and it's right there. no need to go to sitemail for it.

Nah, it's just a bug. They specifically put all that stuff in the left column for the redesign.

a bug, seriously?! geezus. this is getting beyond ridiculous. perhaps they need to call Terminix rather than relying on the programmers.

Tx.
I'm still not used to that fixed bar! When someone says 'bottom left' I automatically scroll right down. Brain drain (again!)
Thanks

Nope, I'm getting out of stock altogether. Will take a while longer to get to the payout for DT & 123, those sites are waaaaay slow for me.

It's sure nice to see more familiar folks from the forums in Istock's glory days here on MSG. Welcome to both dogs and to Ray too

Sorry things have gone the way they have on Istock, though.

Next think you know Peebert will be here and the world will be right again

And any clever clogs who is thinking of pretending to be Peebert will really have to crank up the rhetoric - Peebert made Gostwyck seem like the church lady!

LOL! I don't think anyone could make Gostwyck look like a church lady

But I know what you mean. I found Peebert really intimidating, but also got some of my best laughs from reading his posts. It was kind of like watching a Friar's Club Roast or Ricky Gervais hosting the Golden Globes... you sympathize with the victim, but it was just so funny you couldn't help but laugh.

So hear Pete on Pete, Pete on the joys of the holiday season, what the wild west forums looked like - including use of heart heart unicorn rainbow - here and here.

I just spent a bit of time wandering through old threads - not civil or G rated, but lively and lots of entertainment value. Anyone thinking about a "return" to civility in the forums perhaps isn't thinking about returning to the way the forums actually were. There's a great book about this tendency, I think called The Way we Never Were...

Edited to add one more link - Peebert on complaints from trad agencies about how micrsostock was ruining their business.

It certainly is priceless - but you also got to appreciate the irony about who the f*ckee was then and who it is now

Video canisters are wrong. Black diamonds with less than a 1000 dls and mine says silver but I don't think I've even hit bronze yet.
