Shutterstock (Wednesday) No sales today.  This is very scary since it was my #1 earner.  I just don't quite understand what's going on.  I am very worried and just might have to concentrate on two microstock sites.  Are you cutting back on sites instead uploading?  Thanks for your time.

Shutterstock 70.7 Rating.  With all the problems with uploading and sales, how can this rating be so high. (Over Fotolia)  Am I missing something?

My Shutterstock sales have tanked.  Only (2) downloads a day when I had 20-30.  What happened?  Is there a re-bound?  Thanks.

I want to try uploading to bigstock using ftp.  I have never used this before.  Can someone please walk me through the step on how to use it.  Thanks.

Thanks so much Mr. Sharpshot.  I made copies.--Oscar Williams.

I have never been sued, but I have friends who have.  Two photographers and one attorney friends.  They seem to not ever worry about the SUE word.  They just say it's so common in the society that we live in even people in jail does it.


If you have or been close to hearing this awful scary word, how did you handle it.  I'm asking because I took some photos at a public place which were not on the radar list and my camera was looked at and my smart card was removed by security and the guy told me.  "You are so lucky, I might sue you but I won't this time." (New York wall Street and taxi cabs from the rear)


So, I guess we just live in a SUE society.  Should I be afraid from now on to go outside and take pictures at a public place?   Thanks.

Artflakes VS Fine Arts---Which one has been your best experience?    Thanks

As I think about it when I look at the Istock site I think about about my great grandparents who were african american slaves who kept a diary of the daily day to day activities on the plantation.  As slaves they were not allowed to learn how to read and were called boy and girl even though they were grown and had to answer without looking at the Massa eyes directly.  In the process of clearing out their house after the death of both I discovered these documents and have kept them  in a safe deposit box for years.


As a stock photographer for Istock for many years, I felt like I was stupid for accepting this "in the dark" punishment.  I have a choice now to leave without being taken in the backyard and whipped, but Istock is trying to whip me mentally.


I will not accept this!  Thanks for listening.

Same here.  This site is really having problems.

They should be at the bottom of the list.

Do you fellow photographers think that Shutterstock will go back to the old Dashboard that was easy and worked so well?  I had a dream last night that I woke up this morning turned on my computer and to my surprise the old Dashboard was there.


I hope that dream comes true.

My shutterstock sales are bad since the new dashboard has been put in place.  Anyone else?  Thanks.

Do you think Shutterstock will remain #1 with all the changes lately, and will Fotolia overcome them?
