Title: Thinkstock image search by username iStock
Post by: John W. on February 14, 2013, 18:10
It was my understanding that in order to see which iStock images are on thinkstock one could search his/her username in " ". Every now and then I check to see which of my IS images are on TS. It has been the same number for months, like they didn't add new stuff, which I was happy with. Now by coincidence I found out that a lot of my IS images are there but not searchable by username.

Is this known? And is there a way to see all my images on TS?

I remember reading that there was an issue with names on PP sites.

There is this in the Partner Program Sticky

Search using your real name in quotes.

Thanks, many more appear now. Seems my whole non-editorial port is on TS. I always thought it was just a fraction.

If you are nonexclusive, your whole non editorial portfolio is supposed to be on there.  Fun isn't it?

Nope. I always thought this was an IS bug. The only one I appreciated.

On a more positive note, I deactivated all of my files except 1 on D-Day and just searched TS for both username and real name, both in quotes, and found 0 images.

Happy day!
