Did you at least visit your account?
I can't imagine it being closed due to non contributing.

I haven't contributed for quite some time but I do visit my account regularly.

Must have been a real pain too. Sorry you had to go though that.
Maybe it really doesn't matter much with all the chaos in the world and finances these days but do you have a favorite and or do you contribute to those types of side gigs?
Thanks in advanced.

Here we go again.
Zazzles is updating its user agreement. Goes into affect April 1. Not a joke.

Those with regular accounts may want to read thoroughly.
Might be a deal breaker for some.

Now you have to update your store with new stuff every month or pay the greedy piper.


Not sure what I will do since I don't have the time to update all the time since I got family emergencies and other things to deal with right now.

Adobe Stock / Re: Vector Image Rejected Due to Technical Issues
« on: December 13, 2024, 00:56 »
Are you using an alternative software to Illustrator?
If so, there's your problem right there. Not all vector softwares work the same. Some have issues processing colours and gradients and when you open them in Illustrator (the industry standard) it does not display correctly. Sometimes you have other problems too. So if you find a free version of Illustrator and test your images, you may end up seeing the issue yourself.

For me that place has been the walking dead since I joined. The service was never bad but never had a sale....so far. Meh..

Just wondering if anyone knows more about GIMPshop. Now is this a add on plug-in? Or is this a app on its own?
The reason why I'm asking is, I'm looking for a temporary program that's a bit like Photoshop.
If anyone can share some info on this it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Not yet, but its probably a matter of time before we all see this kind of message whether we have stuff that might go or stay.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting article. Maybe it will change for the better after all. But I guess it will take a little time and a little touch and go to figure things out. After all, the genie is out of the bottle and we just have to use it and not let it cause too much havoc.

Like everywhere else its probably due to intense amount of AI submissions.

Just a interesting article relating to AI Training. It would be nice if this concern would spread and help other types of artists as well.

I noticed something odd as well.  The last few days it takes the site to come on very slowly if at all. Could it be the after affects from the Aurora borealis? Or just someone trying to hack. Could be an update needed or in progress? Who knows? 🤔

Has any one used this company/service called "Buy Me a Coffee"?
If so what do you think?

It feels like they do bait a bit. Might be possible? Or is it my imagination? 🤔

You're not better at PayPal either. They just raised some fees as well.  Got a letter not too long ago stating the increase in fees. Not sure if its just for us unfortunate Canadians. Over here we get taxed to death over here for everything. Probably for breathing too. ☹️

Hi, I am also Canadian.

When you withdraw USD from Paypal to a Canadian bank account, other than the poor conversation rate, are there any other fees that I am not aware of?
Not sure. Sorry. All I know is that if our account is not used for so long, they charge us a fee. New fee is for use with some kind of transaction card. I'm surprised you didn't get the Policy change notice. They stated the new fee in that updated contract policy. Sorry I'm not much help.

When I get around to it I can always post some of the notice here or you can find it at PayPal I guess.

Well its that time of year for the latest public domain to be released out into the wild blue yonder for possible exploration.

I wonder how many will do old timey Mickey mouse as a clip art and other?

Alright just got. And just in time for my birthday too. Oh joy. Like getting a cheap amount of money in a greeting card. LOL 😁😊 Oh well. I still appreciate it though! 😊

Stilll.....waiting..... I wonder if they're going by the last name?  :-\

Haha. 🤭Now watch every one flock over there to join like chickens to feed! So crazy.  I'm sure once that happens, sadly they will lower contributor earnings.
Sigh.......☹️

They must be doing a bit of house cleaning since there's only a remnant of the forums left.
I was wondering when someone would notice that something is amiss. LOL🙃

Still makes money but I wouldn't put it on a high priority list of things to do. So you may wanna try different things to see what works best and worth. Over all as always I see CA a small way of topping off that piggy bank.
I never throw away the baby with the bath water.
