My hope is quickly leaving me.....definitely a noggin scratcher....

Does not work....search term is in both fields.

Try Elizabethtown.....check out those results, OMG. Yet I have images accepted over 6 months ago customers are being fed almost no relevant images.

Hello all,

I'm wondering about your two cents on this issue. I've photographed every major city in the USA and tons of smaller ones and many of those have been uploaded to Istock and Getty images. Lately I have noticed that the platform does not recognize many or them and will not even allow a search. For instance, Cannelton, Indiana. The system will not even allow that word to be searched and instead searches for Cannelloni. HUH?

Some on the keyword team have told me that even if they decline to add a word to the keyword system search term recognizable words it is still searchable in title and description. I was happy to hear that, but in my tests, it does not seem to be true.

Other cities, which I have images and video uploaded and approved for do not come up in a search. This effectively means I have been wasting my time uploading anything not in recognizable search terms to Getty/Istock.

The Hopkinsville area has a military base plus a major city in Tennessee close by Clarksville. The combined population of those three areas is over 250,000. Do you think that none of those people need or want any images? I'm dumbfounded. Do any of you care and if so, is there anything we can do?

PS, I care about my partnership with Getty and Istock, I know some of you do not, however, I ask that you be respectful. This is not a bash Getty/Istock post. Instead, it is a call to arm for help and support. This issue if affecting buyers and sellers of images, which I am both.

Thanks, looking forward to your constructive comments meant to further and improve the situation.

What's in a name? Since you asked, with respect, the name of the thread is ridiculous and arrogant.

Who wants you to tell them when their images will stop selling, as if you even could. For this reason, I'm not even reading.

Steve is more gracious than I, but one can read into his response just above mine. Did he ask you to do this? Did you ask him?

P.S. They will NEVER stop selling.

Good day.

Pond5 was a standout for me performing well until the take over. Now down over 2/3's.
I designed my whole life around stock. It's beyond discouraging and clearly the bottom has not arrived. Yet one company treats us well. Why don't the rest?

Hey Mat, is this a one time thing or will you ask for more later? I missed it!

Well, I could not sleep, got back up and got it working. Sorry for the multiple posts...

Again, amazing work! Thanks!

Do I have to delete Current SymbioStock theme to add new uploader fix properly?

Will I lose all my current Settings and Work or is it like a skin?

Ok, forcing myself to go to bed....

This is maddening, it was working so well, whatever was in the update that came into my dashboard automatically blocked the uploader! I've tried everything I can think of and I've been computing for 26 years since DOS on a Tandy 1000!

Uploader now shows up after trying to install fix but ADD FILES button is dead....

Oh Boy, I spoke too soon! Window is there but the add files button is not working???



I'm giving up for tonight!!!

  Now I can get some sleep! Thanks again!

Amazing Work Leo and Everyone! After three days of hard but smooth work with the help of the tutorial and threads, I had updated late tonight and uploader crashed just before bed, got her fixed again with the threads!

Leo you are a mountain mover!  Amazing!

PS, can anyone tell me how to get my sig line to show up here?

Hello SymbioStock People!

Christopher Boswell here!

Love the site, idea, and functionality.

I've just taken the plunge and joined you, much work to do. It took some doing as it seems I'd rather lurk around in obscurity,

Ajotte instructed me to come in and say hello.

HELLO!

I'll be adding many images in the coming days/weeks.

Can I interest any of you in site promotion trading as suggested by your creator?

Thanks in advance, and good luck!
