OK, so at the top of msg, I see a message from iStock which says:
"It's back! You can add to your lightbox again on individual pages. Just click "add to lightbox" under any item http://t.co/03TiqWMc"
I've tried a random file, and I've clicked the link to the favoured/featured file, but I'm too blind to see the link.

Didn't it used to be just below the main pic?
I even ran a 'find' for the text 'add to lightbox' on that page and it didn't throw up an instance of the text.
Is it me, or is it them?
I don't see any mention of it on iStock, only on the tweet at the top of msg's home page.

Don't see that tweet by following the twitterlink.
But to prove I didn't imagine it:

Maybe they noticed it wasn't working.

hahahahahah, that place is turning into a joke. It seriously is too funny to see such amateurism displayed by a site that is supposed to be the crop of the cream in micro stock

I can't find any link either on any of my files. I have a bunch of orphaned files which have been approved, with lightbox links in their descriptions, but which I can't actually add to those lightboxes.

If the new files show up in your portfolio, sort your port by newest first and from the search results page you can add those files to the correct lightboxes (unless they broke that when trying to fix the detail page

)

Thanks for the suggestion. The only option I see on the portfolio page is "Add page". Since I have a variety of images from different shoots showing, sorted by age, "add page" doesn't do me any good. So still waiting, I guess

The little icon on the right under the picture is an Add to Lightbox button

Kelvin put together some work arounds at the top of the Help forum

I have been using the GreaseMonkey script and it been working just fine, especially for newly accepted files that have not been Indexed yet
