Post by: ShadySue on March 27, 2015, 10:21: Seems to be up again just now. I didn't see the discount message, error messages for a couple of hours, then a short time of a maintenance page. I read elsewhere that Getty was down for some time this morning too.

Ha - back to the error message again. >:(

Maybe so (I wasn't online to see it), but you'd have thought they'd have been ready with the maintenance page as soon as the site was down, instead of hours of on/off errors and a very short time of the maintenance page showing. Bit of a fail.

you are only stating the obvious, but the notice on the top of the page was more likely 3-4 days. also, let's not forget this MSG is full of chronic complainers. it's actually a bit too much and child like. i burnt my toast this morning and it's Istocks fault.

Lucky you. My IS earnings are so low I can't afford the bread to make my toast. Bread and water sounds like a feast right now. ::)

Post by: Uncle Pete on April 16, 2015, 11:22: One more time - already? Anyone see anything on our side changing?

On Friday, April 17th at 7pm MDT/6pm PDT, iStock will be temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance.

Something about Caption and Description, but I see nothing has changed on mine. Let me clear that up a little. The Caption is Identical to the Description on all of mine.

Since about 1 hour almost all search results link to a 404 page for me. When I disable JavaScript I get just empty pages with a user logo while not being logged in. Anyone having the same issue? I tried different and with different browser.

[edit: might be a problem with my os]
