 Nice to have lots of other sites to keep me busy, this must be driving the exclusives crazy.

I keep reading on here that it's quiet everywhere. Is this not the case? ;)

I really didn't think it took any longer to upload. Yeah, those extra keyword terms are annoying and not really necessary, but like most of the uploading process, I just turn my brain off and click on the buttons.

Very true!

On a positive note I've just had an email from Istock heralding the arrival of the new design and offering a discount of 25% off all credit packages until Monday 16th. Hopefully that will help to bump sales.

After working for a while with the new template, I have to agree with the critiques. The underlying functionality didn't change of course, only the navigation and the skin. It's just too spacious. I have to scroll much more. Less thumbs on a page. I CTRL- as much as I could (rendering the fonts in an ugly way, but still readable) but the old skin just gave more info on one screen without having to scroll too much and the fonts were still pleasing.

I also don't like the "friends" thing at all. It must be spill over from the whims of useless sites like Facebook. It's a creative network, so why just not call it like that?

Of course they won't change since they put too much effort in it and they hailed it as the next best thing next to the invention of the wheel. But I wish they had the old template back. I find myself going less and less to iStock and I wonder whether it will have the same effect on buyers.

I found a new name for the template:
iStockphoto's carpal syndrome template.

I did what you said Ctrl -
but the page only go small but the Logout is not there.
I have to clear cache to see Log In. So I hope that mean I log out.

How to find Logout? On old one it is so easy.
I hate this one, sorry.

I think the buyers like it.  Today is the best Tuesday I've had in a while...

We'll get used to it, and eventually accept it. Most of Istock's innovations were never fail to meet the expectation, like Vetta or the increase in price not long ago. So we gotta be positive on this one too. For now let's keep encouraging more buyers to the site in anyway you can :)

 :D Oh, I'm sorry... Yes, this is my first post, but I've joined the site several months ago, never active until today. Never been in any forum whatsoever. Where and how should I start then?

Sort of, but nobody really knows. It's top secret. Istock employees claim they don't even know.

Tuesday was a pre-May normal day for me. I've had three days like that this month. The rest have been the apparantly new normal.

I think this is the most vague assessment of sales I've ever seen.

My earnings depend on the downloads I get. Maybe this helps.  ???

Glad to help. Let me know if you need vague assessments on anything else.  ;)

Tuesday wasn't bad for me - problem was the rest of the week tanked and so the overall result was pretty grim. Guess its time to upload some more images now that I have 120 slots that I can fill...

Is there no longer any upload success percentage available to view?  The page where I found it before is gone and I've poked around for it on the new version and haven't found it.

Yes, it looks like it is not on the page it used to be on.  You can find your approval rating by clicking on the "not an exclusive photographer" link on the upload page.

If you mean the Acceptance rate percentage, it's still on the 'upload' page where it always was. You just gotta scroll down to see it.

Thanks.  I found it.

I can't find the files that I have processed and are now pending review.  Anyone know where they are now?

Unless I'm answering the wrong question with the obvious wrong answer... login, click on your name, on the lower left you will see "Uploads" and there they are.  :)

Stats, the briefcase, all the old data, is still available, pretty much as it was. Financials Etc. unless it has changed for some people and not for me?

For some reason (probably too much alcohol)  I couldn't see the "Upload Date" column earlier.  Clicking on that brings my submitted files that haven't been reviewed to the top.

But I can't find my unfinished files anymore... And having the "friends" list showing first when clicking on a profile is a little childish
