Nothing's happening yet. Just check your advanced search settings.

So it looks like they have started the changeover...and as far as I can tell, I can no longer see how many downloads an image has. Anyone else seeing changes?

Just rub your eyeballs - I can still see all image downloads, mine and others...

OK will do, but I haven't changed anything. So why is it different? I would post an image of what I am seeing, because I'm sensing you all think I'm nuts. I don't know how. Can I get a little help with that?

Go in the advanced settings after doing a search. It's next to the Best Match sort. Then under show/hide, you will see downloads. Check it back. Hope it help

It seams that I will have everyday peewee in dream until it will happened with that famous design...
So we are waiting for Peewee. Maybe incontinence images are also niche...

C moan geeks you can do it........
Biggest thing is how to screw "legal" share sites who shared our images and you and other agencies rape us with more than 70% in best way while you are doing nothing eg producing cosmetic changes on you site?!.....

Here's what I see:

And this is definitely different than what showed before. I didn't change any settings, they did. The big arrow to the next page is gone! I remember when they added that, it caused problems for about 3 days.

Go take a look at the IS forum...plenty is changing already.

It has always been like that for me cclapper, that is, always when i'm on the mac... on the PC sometimes (randomly it seems) it displayed the downloads also.
I've been wondering about that before...

Nothing's changing. You just have your options off in the advanced search.

Yep. We haven't changed anything on the search results page in six or eight months.

That doesn't include the "secret" changes, right?

FWIW I have been seeing the same as Cathy, but randomly.

I am not sure, but I think it is happening when I click a lightbox link. But when I search my portfolio the normal way I still see all the DL and other info.

It has been going on for a couple of months as far as I can tell.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #39 on:** June 22, 2010, 10:48 »

Various links can turn things on and off in the results they return.

See that bit about @showDownload ?

Yeah, the biggest problem right now with the advanced search is that your settings can get reset without you doing anything. Sometimes switching between different kinds of searches (keyword to lightbox) can trigger it. Not every time, but sometimes.

Explain to me how, all of a sudden, those options are turned off when I didn't turn them off? I notice no one is answering that question.
I click on my photo in the top left (as I have always done) and click on view portfolio on the right side of my profile page (like I've always done) and this page comes up.

I'm not even searching or doing advanced searches. I have NOT changed any of my settings...all of a sudden yesterday everything appeared different. Something has changed on istocks end. And people on the forum are reporting all kinds of things going on. Go to the Help topics and look for yourself. The first 4 topics out of 5 are about problems.

But OK, I'll play the ostrich game with you.

I'm not even doing searches. All I have been doing is going to my own portfolio. As if just moving around the site is changing the settings. I just did a search for corn and it came up with 0 results.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #43 on:** June 22, 2010, 11:42 »

As mentioned, random links can turn options on or off. Again, just open your advanced search and turn them back on.

The settings at Advanced Search does not only show/hide file details in the results of a search, but also what you see in your portfolio.

It's has happened to me sometimes that my settings got reset without me doing anything. Just as explained above. When that happens I just go to Advanced Search again, choose my options, and save my settings. That's all.

Thanks for the confirmation this is happening Andrew

. It's not that big a deal for me. Usually just resets without me having to do anything, but nice to know it's not just me and Cathy experiencing this.

Personally I would be happy if the DL's from each file were never visible to anyone but the author. But that's a whole different can of worms...

Yes, I did that yesterday.

My briefcase icon was gone last week. I couldn't see my uploads, downloads, dates Etc. Now it's back.

Today I looked and the advanced settings were reset, so I turned them back on, including downloads.

Uploaded a file this morning and I can't access Categories past the one I clicked.

I suspect they are making small changes and the code sometimes has fits and temporary errors.
