Title: Unable to login to istock
Post by: PixelBytes on June 26, 2009, 16:08
I have been trying to login to istock and keep getting sent from the login page back to the opening splash page and back again.  Anyone else experiencing the same?

It's fixed now!

Thank goodness.

Hope the problem doesn't take a chunk out of my already low sales today... :(

Friday was my worst weekday at istock in a long time, and I can only figure it's because of the search problem (search wasn't working for a while and then afterwards a cache issue kept things buggy for some people). Late Thursday I was looking for images of a woman using a laptop, and didn't have time to wait for the search function to get fixed so I went to StockXpert instead. I have to imagine a lot of buyers had to do the same thing and sales at istock suffered for it.

The sort dropdown still doesn't work, and I am still getting an occasional zero search results return today.

I know istock has the most complex search system in microstock, but that also makes it the most prone to bugs, and when it goes down it really goes down hard.

I didn't have any trouble logging on yesterday and my sales were about what they usually are, but this morning I kept getting zero results. It was super annoying. I had some credits left at DT from the last time I wasn't able to purchase, so I had to go there again.
