Same problem, I can open the homepage but if I click on my username or balance, only white page appears.

Search is apparently working OK.
My balance is showing as are 'my uploads'.
At least if they're doing background work, it's on a Sunday, which is almost a first.

You must be reasonably new to iStock, if you think site problems mean the site is closing immanently.  ;D

Extremely slow for me too. But like Shadysue said, it's all normal...  :P

Let's hope that those "core site improvements" that Yuri mentioned will fix the site once and for all.

For me, things work except the Forums page is empty.

If he's at least got them to do site work on weekends, that's a move in the right direction.

Why would it be 'the good one'? You're not even a contributor, or are you keen to have all the istock contributors flooding the sites you are able to sell on and taking away more of your sales?

Yeah, unfortunately site downtime is very much 'business as usual' at iStock.

Don't worry, when the site goes down they will soon give the buyers a discount code so that you make less per sale.
