Nope just an important updates email. But keep in mind Shady is an exclusive. It's not the 3rd yet is it?  ;)

LOL - Omnishambles is compounded from the Latin prefix omni-, meaning "all", and the word shambles, a term for a situation of total disorder.

Hmm...

From Deepmeta web page:

Update Feb 1st, 2017: DEEPMETA 3 - COMING SOON
Latest info: As soon as iStock/Getty complete the unification and move over to the new ESP upload site, we will do some final testing and release DeepMeta 3.0
Keep an eye on the Download page.

First coined I believe in a UK political comedy "In the thick of it" and taken up by the then leader of the opposition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnishambles

My e-mail worked as a username with the istock password. Of course there was nothing to see once I got in.

I never got an e-mail about it.

No financial information, of course. I did see a FAQ page half-full of computer-code gibberish and a "contact us" link that redirected to an insecure page.

I've gotten no relevant communications on this, not sure what to do.  If I don't "sign up" by the "deadline," are all of my images going to disappear?  What will happen?

No email for me yet. No ESP. I can't log in to Deep Meta. I am exclusive and they said all exclusives should have got one. I put in a support ticket yesterday morning.  I guess there is really nothing to see anyway.

I am also getting
"Royalties data will not be available until your first transaction has occurred. Please try again next month."
What does this even mean?

It means there will be nothing there until at least Feb 20th as we were told in Nov.
If you can get into the forum, which you probably can since you're in ESP, check out the new top sticky (started 7th Feb) in the iS/Getty Help forum (Using ESP - Support Thread), particularly the OP of that thread.
Also another 3 ESP threads immediately below that one for other info.

Whether they'll actually manage to get the correct info there on Feb 20th is anyone's guess.  ::)

We were accepted as an iStock contributor in December 2016, we logged in and started to create our profile.

We had some other projects going on, and needed to come back to complete our "tax interview" within our iStock Contributor Account.

Logged back in in Late January - and was redirected to the ESP.GettyImages.com site

Our iStock contributor user id and password, worked (had to do a password reset) for access to esp.gettyimages.com

However we are thrown the following error:

----------------------------------------------------------
We're sorry.

Your account is not currently set up for ESP access.

Please contact us if you believe this is in error.
----------------------------------------------------------

We did get "one" reply from our attempts to reach out - but have since gone past all the deadlines when we "should" have had our account migrated.

So we are pleased to find this thread as, we cannot get access to the contributor forums without access to ESP ;)

Anyone else getting the same error as we are?

By the way, all my followup emails have not been replied to.

Cheers,

Dave | ModernPics

I have received nothing and attempted to contact through iStock, because, while the instructions state if you have questions to access through ESP - I CAN'T BECAUSE I DON"T HAVE A LOGIN!!!!

Yes, this is the error message I'm seeing as well. I emailed them on Monday, but no reply yet. Probably before the end of the month. Maybe.

*** Thanks @kb

At least I know I am not the only one is this "Boat" ;)

Hoping the best for all of us

I am just glad I found this forum, at first - I was looking for the "Contributor" forum, which is hidden behind the ESP portal which I have no access too, so that did not do me any good - hehe

Looks like these forums are better anyway.

Take care,

Dave | ModernPics
