I see it as well.

Picniche should update their toolbar...

I like it! It will take a while to get used to, I was desperately hunting for things. Almost reversed...what used to be at the top is now at the bottom. Let's hope this new design DOUBLES our sales!

Off topic, but just wanted to say that I am actually having downloads this weekend...that might be a first for me. Usually weekends are dead.

It does seem to load faster.

From a style standpoint, I'm not in love with it.
The whole thing look a bit flat to my eye.
But I'm sure I'll adjust and before long I won't even remember what the old site looked like

It's the first time I saw an absolute toolbar (contributor, at the bottom) that doesn't hurt the eyes. It's much more buyer oriented while the contributor still can see all vital info at the bottom.

Thanks for pointing the location of my info, I didn't look at the bottom. I was missing being able to read my balance and I had tried to find my sales. I only managed to when I read this post.

Is there an option to change the colour scheme? I think black is good for buyers, it's neutral but it is a bit too much like the new BigStock and 123rf for me.

My video thumbnails still look dreadful, they look much better on the other sites.

Cathy I was shocked when I went and checked the site with it having been changed, then low and behold I had a sale. It's rare for me to have a sale on there on the weekend also. I hope it keeps it up. Hopefully this is a good omen.

Those rows in "my uploads" section are a bit high... I would like them more if I don't have to scroll so much. But...ok

Suljo · « **Reply #134 on:** August 07, 2010, 18:49 »

A Day before I want to bet if this thumbling thru they site will bee fully functional at all until the end of this year. Finally geeks do something but only as I see is few changes in CSS basically as I mention before.
They only "BIG THING IS TO PUT SEARCH FIELD IN LINE WITH THEY LOGO"
and put our stuff at the bottom (Wow what a big deal)
So is that all what are they talking about too much time?
In my language it is called "Fart in the pot", (let say for better hearing something which can't be loud basically and not have purpose at all)
As an old septic about them, money at end of month will say all.
See you in the next "Storm in cup of tea" pool results...

PS
If sales dont give up after they cheap CSS games I will comb hairdo of geek from "professional iStock video" on other side (of his head I mean)... Head will be in same direction untouched

I cannot say I love this new look.

The design is dull and not contributor friendly. I find it tiring after looking at it for a while.

In addition, Creative Network sounds more sophisticated than Friends. Many people in the former CN cannot be said as friends at all. Only a few have become friends. To think everyone in your CN is a friend is a bit pre-mature.

Also 'referrals' are now 'referred friends'. What up wit dat?

is it just me or is the download date column missing from the details page?
If you mean on the Details tab of the "My Uploads" page, it's just you. I see the last download date (labeled as "Last DL" column).

Oh, I see - they widened the whole page so that last column fell off my screen.

I agree with some of the comments in the IS forum (once I found it!) that there is too much white space and scrolling necessary.

I'd really like a different color scheme too. The stark black and white is too high contrast for my eyes.

I dont try to upload after that "marvelous lets say redesign iStock thing" (Are they enlarge box for keywords or it is same dimension like this when you post something here in MSG or other forum I mean 15 x 5 cm

Or it is just CCS smearing in front page and all same pain in the ass structure is stay the same???
I think old manners are never changes. If Someone is iStock always stays iStock.
I go to vacation for 2 weeks now (so all people who put me on ignore list can pop up cheese from they ears) and I will not be surprised if after that I couldn't upload anything to iStock...
Stay well is only what I can tell in (Haiku)

Funny you mentioned Facebook. After I posted the message, I was thinking about Facebook myself. I thought Istock had become a mature company.

don't Like!

ap · « **Reply #143 on:** August 07, 2010, 21:07 »

wow, they've made uploading an even more horrible experience with a gazillion subcategories to choose from. they still haven't fixed the lost exif data either! that should be their priority.

i use firefox and i need to scroll right and left, for the page no longer fits neatly into the browser. this is a real pain....

lefty · « **Reply #144 on:** August 07, 2010, 21:16 »

I like much the format, nice and neat. But I spend many minutes looking for the LOG OUT button. old one is easier to navigate. This one is a programmer intensified show how smart is designer but nightmare for user.

Lizard · « **Reply #145 on:** August 07, 2010, 22:14 »

I dont like it , too much contrast , I would like darker white

Elenathewise · « **Reply #146 on:** August 07, 2010, 22:58 »

I hate it!!!
I don't like change in general though

Why did they have to change the contributor end at all? I was so used it, it was so nice and cozy

What was the point of moving your earnings from the top of the page to the bottom? Who's benefiting from it and how? I am definitely annoyed by it...
This whole change thing is annoying. It's like you get used to the buttons on your good old tablet to the point it's your second nature and then when you want to upgrade to new model you find that they moved the buttons around. Anybody knows why they do that?...

(it's a riddle. the answer is: "to annoy me")

sweetgirll · « **Reply #147 on:** August 07, 2010, 23:13 »

This month my sales started to pick up again I was so happy....

now....I'm freaking out..OLOLOL

One interesting thing....I noticed that the images on portfolios show
the new images first in the order I uploaded. Well, I like this way
and I love that we can see 200 thumbs in one page!

Well, one positive is, it's always there. Before F5, it would scroll off the top as soon as you scrolled the page down a few lines. Now it's always sitting down there, staring at you. Not changing. Ever. (Oh, sorry, just got carried away by the virtual halt in DLs.)

i hate staring at the same number all day, every day.
