Hi,

A year ago I deactivated few images on istock in protest to new User Agrrement. But recently I realized that istock is still much better than 123f, DP or CS in royalty structure and reconsider the decision.

I used "Reactivate this file" option in administration menu (week ago) but nothing happened. Does anybody have any experience in reactivating images there? How does it work?

You can ask CR to reactivate them for you and they might.
Or you can submit 'as new', which I think I've read is required anyway after a certain time.
AFAIK, there's no way you can simply reactivate deactivations.

Seems to be a different policy these days - see http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=343765&page=1 - apparently if it was deactivated less than 14 months ago you can use the "Reactivate" link, otherwise you have to re-upload.

I didn't even know there WAS a "Reactivate" link!

Thanks, that must have been what I read and misremembered. As it happened I had a file accepted last week whereupon the thum revealed a problem that hadn't shown at 100%, so I deactivated it. I just checked. If you click on the tiny thumb of a deactivated file in 'My Uploads', 'reactivate this file' is visible under Administration. That appears to exist on all my deactivated files (as the rules about people got stricter, I deactivated the files which no longer met the new standards), I'm sure at least some must be older than 14 months. NB, I haven't tried to reactivate them,so I'm not certain it would work on all the files.

I'm also wondering what happens if you try to reactivate a file which was deactivated by iStock administration for, say, property issues (e.g. castles)...  but I'm not going to try it!

Yes, I noticed the reactivate link was live on my deactivated never-was-a-castle, but I've already resubmitted as editorial and I didn't try.
Another you might like to try is the apparently-live link to become a logo contributor.  ::)
