I was checking my stock sites when I noticed Adobe took the threshold down to $25 via a little pop up.  Just wonder why there wasn't an email to contributors about this?

This has been happening to me off and on all day today.  That area at the right of the top of the main page I now have to click on a little arrow next to my name to see my stats?  What's the point with that aside from to be annoying.

It's not my illustration but it is a stock illustration that someone used to show their political views.  I called them on it and they seem to think that images are public domain.  I told them otherwise.

Here's the URL. I don't know what website they pulled it off of (I'm not talking stock image site but who edited the image) so not sure where a DMCA would be sent.

They think it's cute to steal from the artists because they think it's free because it's on the internet so they can do with it what they wish.  I really feel bad for the illustrator as they obviously didn't get paid for their work.

I have a thread going on at http://www.symbiostock.org but if you're not over there I'm posting it here as well.

Last week I noticed my contact form wasn't replying to the email of the person that sent the contact message using Contact Form 7.  In fact no contact form that I've used all day (including a standard html+php stand alone) will let me reply to the sender.  When I click reply it wants to reply to my email address and not the one that was placed into the text field.

I then deactivated all of my plugins except for contact form 7 and tested it.  I behaved as it's supposed to.  I then went about activating all my other plugins one by one and found it was the SYMBIOSTOCK - Emails and Notifications plugin within the SY theme that's causing the problems.

Others have seen the same problem on the other message board.  So I'm likely to believe that it's an SY issue since I have a different theme running on my main site and have WP and CF7 updated to current and that one works as it should.

Any insight on how to fix this issue since I can't have the SYMBIOSTOCK - Emails and Notifications deactivated.  I'm running SY version 2.5.6 with the Child Theme.

Thanks,

I'm starting to put up zipped sets for sale.  I'm just wondering about pricing strategies since doing this is rather new to me.  Is there a baseline standard as far as price per image in the set or is it priced based on what the set is?

I'm wondering because I don't want to underprice nor do I want to overprice.  Any personal insight or links to articles would be most helpful.

Thanks.

Looking into start marketing and rather than dragging up an old thread from late July thought I'd start a new one.

As independents I know it's on us to do our own marketing.  Has there been anything that's worked or not worked since this was last talked about?

I was thinking about running a Craigslist add but I'm not sure if potential image buyers would even think about looking at a site like that.

The strategies we build now will help those thinking about getting started get a head start after they finish with building their site.

I don't know much about marketing and any links to good, thorough articles from trusted sites would be most helpful.

Thanks.

I was thinking about doing that last night.  I have a main site where I have all of the other things that I do on it then the SY in a sub domain of that site.

The way I have my main site set up makes it hard for me to do updates to it properly with having to edit a ton of pages just to add new links.  I figured WP would make that a lot easier for me.

Are there any disadvantages or issues to having two instances running?  I just want to make sure before I tackle it.  This will also make my BlogSpot blog redundant but I'll deal with that at a later date.

Thanks.

Tried to do a test purchase on an image (I took it offline until I can figure this out) I set all the price values to $0.00 I went to go purchase it to see if that would work for me to test and a paypal page came up stating that there's something wrong with the sellers email address.

I swear it was working fine the other day now I can't figure out what happened.

Anyone with insight please let me know.

Apparently I'm extremely thick headed at 2:10am my time.  I can't seem to find a direct link to the Word Press blog.  I want to put that in my footer but for the life of me can't find it.

I also have a weird issue on my image pages there's a vertical line running down the side.  I don't have any widgets on the side of my image pages and the only thing I can think of it's in the css somewhere.  It showed up when I was working on my footer.

And while I'm thinking about it do I need to update network stuff after I'm done publishing images?

Thanks.

All was working fine up until around an hour ago.  Received an email symbiostock_network_update and my site reverted back to a previous version before I got back online this week.

I don't know if it's a dns issue or something else.  I looked through the forum to see if anyone else had this problem and didn't find one.  I'm pretty well clueless if it's going to correct itself or not.

images.mddu.com has the Symbiostock logo on it now and no other images.  I had it all nice and fixed this week with my logo and some of my images.  Just got another network update and it hasn't reverted back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what happened all was working well yesterday now when I click on an image either on my portfolio page and image category page comes up with 404 not found errors.  The only thing that seems to go to the image pages is on the front of my site under newest images.

I don't know if this is a temporary glitch or I've messed up royally.  Anyone had this happen and know how to fix it?

Let me know if you get the same error images.mddu.com

it seems to be adding this ?r=http://images.mddu.com to the end of the image url.  When I delete that part out of my address bar the image shows up.  I'm baffled because hovering over the image doesn't show that extra bit at the end only after I click on it does it show up.

Thanks.

Not sure how to go about doing that (gotta do something while I wait to actually really get started).

I couldn't find a widget that controls that so a point in the right direction would be most helpful.

Thanks.

Checked my sales on DT and something weird is going on.  I got a sub sale today the next one under that says I had a sale on the 20th and the one under that on the 24th (Everything below the 24th is ordered correctly).

Anyone else notice anything weird like that?  Makes me wonder what's going on behind the scenes either they had an issue or they don't place it as sold unless the buyer checks out?
