Title: iStock uploads broken
Post by: disorderly on September 08, 2009, 10:39

No joy trying to fulfill my upload quota this morning.  The web interface claims my image isn't big enough.  It is; it's a full 12 megapixel image.  I wouldn't mind quite so much if their quota system didn't penalize me for every minute I'm permitted to upload and don't.

According to their website, they've been fixing upload problems.  Guess this one's still waiting to be repaired.

There have been problems for 3 days now.  I did get a few uploaded yesterday but it went wrong again today.  It is frustrating but I am sure exclusives feel worse than I do.

I tried to upload a few but only 1 made it without that same error.

While uploading with DeepMeta on Saturday, i got two errors that my files are not JPG files. I put them in the queue again and the upload was successful. There is definitely something wrong with their upload lately.

This stinks. I was having these problems last week after they "FIXED" it. Now, it is much worse. I  got one through, but I'm not sure I'm going to get any others though.

I uploaded yesterday with no problems - beyond the metadata being stripped, of course.

What is the problem with stripping Metadata? Is that a difficult problem to fix. It seems to be an on again off again problem for a long time now.
