Title: purchase credit to rate an IS image?
Post by: hali on November 22, 2008, 14:35
i was impressed with a featured image on IS , so i went in to let the photographer know how much i like it.
to my surprised i read this thing that says "purchase a credit to rate this file".

huh??? i have to pay to let you know i like your image?
hey, that's an idea. i am going to do this on my own blog,
maybe i'll make more money than microstock.

is this some kind of another exclusive IS joke? enlighten this newbie, please!

It's well documented bug.
But of course any conspiracy theory will be more interesting than the boring truth!

Geesh. Refresh your screen and try again. Does nobody even attempt to find answers to thingslike this before suspecting some diabolical plot? ::)

"Does nobody even attempt to find answers..."

Well, it appears to me that this is exactly what the OP just did  ???

I meant take a look on the site that seems to be having the issue. (A shocking concept, to be certain!) A quick glimpse into the "help" forum at istock would have answered the question and there would have been no needless worrying about "another exclusive IS joke". But, I think thesentinel got it right, a conspiracy theory is much more interesting. It just never ceases to surprise me how quick people are to assume the worst.

gee I don't know but if i went to rate a file and a message popped saying I needed to purchase credits to do so I would sort of take istock at its word - i don't think I would assume it's a bug ...
