ok my bad, i was searching videos!! DOH. i see them now.

Last question, how can we tell which sales were FT or AS? ive looked at my commissions and it doesnt say.

Hi

Ive read a lot on here about fotolia and adobe stock, but (ok i know im late), i still cant tell if my port automatically gets added on Adobe stock or not.

Does it make a difference on the setting on Fotolia for DPC, which ive just switched on ON?

I did a search on AS but so far cant find any
thanks if you know anything

We are an intelligent bunch of people, it would not take much to setup a dedicated independent central body we all subscribe to that looks after our rights and acts as a central go between, between contributors and resellers.

Microstockgroup is half way there is terms of popular and independent.

Another poll, would you pay $10 a year to subscribe to a independent agency that looks after the rights on microstock contributors?

10k people join = $100,000 revenue to run it. Its pretty simple stuff.
100k people join = �1m a year to run it
that's 100k people with one voice, that's powerful.

The thing with a boycott in submitting for 1 week or 1 month, means its not harming the contributor, you haven't pulled your whole port, its not harming SS... massively.

The great thing with it is, it shows force in numbers, it shows cohesion, and it shows we are willing to come together. At the moment its totally fragmented.

I would be very happy to have a boycott period, to help us come together as a single force. Its a bit like a one day strike for national workers, its not going to affect anyone dramatically, but it gets headlines, it gets people together for the common good.

We deserve some respect. YOU deserve some respect.

Can you image in the headlines when SS didn't get a single upload for a week? or a least the headlines when new uploads were 50% down in protest?

I wouldn't expect massive payrises, but id want a proper dialogue and to see some sort of plan some justification. If all this happened in a physical workplace, employers wouldn't last long.

Remember, they are nothing without us, we are something without them.

Hi

The figures I see on SS for Enhanced licences currently are (UK), and contributor cut are...

EL
2 Pack �119   (20%=�23.80, 25%=�29.75, 30%=�35.70)
5 Pack �269  (20%=�53.80, 25%=�67.20, 30%=�80.70)
25 Pack �1019  (20%=�203.8, 25%=�254.75, 30%=�305.70)
I don't know how this works (never checked) in terms of pack numbers, if I have one image in a '2 pack' sale, do I get half of �119?

I don't know if those EL costs are before or after any change though, and then there's the exchange rate...

? You seem to be calculating what the percentages are of the total paid for an image pack. You need to divide the figures by the number of images in the pack for each EL sale.

So for 25 pack from your figures at 20% you will be getting (1019/25)*.2=�8.15 per EL

Hi

Yes I thought that might be the case, how did it work before, we got $28 for each image in an EL pack?

Hi
Who else knows the date selector on the "Remuneration overview" page doesn't work.
It doesnt work AT ALL on a MacBook, even if you type it in.

Ive reported it since January (may and Oct) to Panthermedia, they say "we know its broken but its not a priority"

Great answer.

Anything that makes a site more difficult, is just another reason not to use it.

Did this affect you?

If seasonal is a factor, compare with same time last year and year before etc.
Seasonal is one of many various factors, and everyone's experience will be different

Thanks guys, its just a mess (probably on purpose), which for a top 4 provider, is a surprise.

Hi
Is it just me or are istock profile stats not working?
My balance goes up, but the stats for Feb are not showing since about 3rd Feb

thanks

hi Les
thanks for your detailed reply, i might not use the hydration pack as i often need hot drink as its usually cold weather.
i dont think ill bother with taking it to a store to get adjusted, i cant see them being to pleased with that lol, as i bought it online.
Will have to adjust and test.
I think theres a market for a hip flask shaped water bottle or flask as that shape would fit better in a side pocket of a back pack. Can only find cheap rubbish ones that i tried which failed not long after.

personally I backup everything I can, but delete what is rubbish first. inc raws, tiffs, PSD's anything.
My upload speed is about 8mb/s. If you have upload of 1mb/s online backup is going to be painful, unless you really limit what you are going to backup.

Hi
Im about to backup online, but theres alot of choice, alot of pricing, and alot of difference features.

I used Backblaze for a few months only to find out if i delete a folder from my PC, 30 days later its deleted from my online backup!
I looked at crashplan only to read in the small print, they will only ship a HD with your data (for a price) to the USA. I'm UK.

You really need to read the small print with these things as its not a thing you want to change very often.

All input welcome.
