I usually never have to have 5 words in the title. I just get a bit creative and keep it short and to the point.

Here's a question that's been on my mind lately. Have you noticed declining sales on illustrations at your favorite MS sites? I see lots of photos being sold and uploaded but not really illustration images.
So what's your thoughts? 154

Well that bites.n Wouldn't be easier just to put a post card on sale once a year or so? Best to have something more simple. Not sure what but something you could just slap on with no layout work. I'm sure everyone will figure out that. ![]() In the mean time I don't think I'll have to worry about that right now. Maybe somewhere down the line. ![]() 156

You could still use that "new" technique but you'll probably have to sell the image as a JPG but the original will probably have to be reconfigured to accommodate a stock site's rules that's all.

I'm surprised I got one too last night. But I only have a few simple animated clips there and they haven't sold yet. The rest I have never bothered to upload because of ridiculous rejections to my property release. So I guess its just a fancy e-mail notification letting use know that they're monkeying around with the system again to squeeze every penny they can out of us.

Or it could be that real world denial of "people can't afford as much as they use to" kind of slap in the face reality. Its like this all over. Its like things or do you by food or medication or bills?

Nope! Now now no need to panic. Robots don't have emotion and therefor they can't be truly creative. Like emotion, the creativity of robots and computers/ algorithms can only be simulated. Cyborgs how ever hummmmm........ are another story.
![]() But seriously I have seen those so called artificial portraits and to me its like when movies are produced in CGI. You will somehow always tell the difference. Normally as I said before, most humans create something out of love. You can't have love produced by a cold machine. End of story! 165

If it's anything what happened to Elance when it got absorbed by another company, then good luck cause usually they don't listen to people who actually get work from those places. In other words Tough! You use it and you will like it.

Small companies are usually always slow. Also I'm sorry to say nothing is ever easy or fast with in that company. So fast removal is not going to be an easy task as so many others before you already have gone though the same way. So I guess you are just going to have to pound away till something gives.

You don't thing they managed to use a "hack program" besides the usual password hack?
Because this is exactly what it smells like to me. Helpful info: Here is one way to secure: https://lastpass.com/getlastpass1.php?n=1&mcomb=sa8Igu52I|139371278098|lastpass|e|i8rbbhb5l0|c&cvosrc=ppc.google.lastpass&cvo_campaign={campid}&cvo_crid=139371278098&Matchtype=e&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzqSJi9Pr1QIV17rACh3cMAZYEAAYASAAEgLmJPD_BwE And here is a more traditional method; Make a nice long password. Long as you can. Must be different then other passwords you have on other sites you use. make them with numbers, letters in both regular and capitals and also use symbols. The same with questions and answers. Make crazy question and answers but use plenty of spelling mistakes, nonsense words and again use symbols. Bunch some words. Have a little black book for your questions and answers and passwords so you don't forget or save them in a thumb drive. Use those double notification security functions that come with many sites. All good info till they make "a better mouse trap" in the future. Hopefully soon. ![]() 173
