Their site doesn't work with Safari - I get the message "Code corrupted. Insert fresh copy." in the top corner of my browser.

Does annoy me when developers can't be bothered to test in Safari just because it has a smaller market share.

Works ok in Firefox, but that's not the point  ;)

It's not a good sign for Mac users.

Doesn't work in IE 8 RC1 or Chrome, either.

I guess they figure it's no big deal if designers (many Mac users and Safari users) can't use their site. Oh, wait.. aren't designers the ones who will be giving them money for those images?

I got an invite and registered my username today. I haven't uploaded yet. Keep in mind, anyone who's joining, that VectorNexus has a 180 days online before deletion policy on all images. It's a good idea not to be planning exclusivity anywhere if you decide to try out the site.

yesterday I got an e-mail from them through my website asking me to join.  I figured it was a form letter (which, it most definitely was/is).

But I joined.  And their system is way too hard to get into.  They want you to upload your eps files separate from your jpg previews.  Your jpgs have to be 400x400.  And once you have them both uploaded, you then have to link them to each other.  Not once, but twice.  And it's not a one screen process...a window pops up which you have to highlight the folder you want to link to, you have to then click on browse, then it opens the folder where the eps files are, then you have to click on the eps file and click select, then click save.  And then repeat...you have to do that TWICE on each image.  It's bad enough that you have to reformat your jpgs to be 400x400 (like vectorstock, they make you change it to a wacky size just to make the process take longer).

The only good thing about uploading is that even though you have to upload your eps files separately, you can zip all of your jpgs together and upload them all at once.  But you still have to attach them (twice) to your eps files.

I uploaded about 5 images and will wait to see if it's worth uploading anything else...I think they only have, like, 300 or 400 images total anyway...so far...

There are less than 300 images in total, and over half of them belong to their "featured artist". I'm sorry, but some of the stuff they have accepted is just really sad. I'm also very suspicious when an artist's portfolio is all over the place in terms of style and skill.

They obviously have taken the position that they will accept anything at all in order to build their collection up. I would be very surprised if an established illustrator is going to take them seriously, and the other sites definitely have nothing to worry about.
