If it�s rights managed, the agency should be responsible for collecting payment. That�s what they get paid for.

Apparently disabling Java Script then allows posting.

What does that mean in English?

in your browser click on settings and under privacy and security you will find java script just add the forum address to the blocked sites for java

Yes, I was able to post from my ipad by going to Settings>safari and turning off javascript. It worked! I just turned it back on when I was done. Thanks for that tip! Looks like people have started posting the secret there, too. SS will be busy fixing that, I�m sure.

I�m magical.

Not so fast

I can't test because I'm banned, but can anyone non-magical post? Only Sean's post is newer than Tuesday afternoon at the moment

I checked this morning. I am not banned. When I try to reply, it won�t let me type in the reply box. It�s filled with gray. PS I am not magical.

Just heard back from 'support'. Apparently if I use my web browser rather than my mobile I will be able to post on the forum and pigs may fly. I will give up now or I may have to contact the Samaritans.

Not true anyway. I only log in from a browser and if I try to reply to a thread post, I get this (after I'm taken to the top of the page):

Yes, I just tried to post in the forum and I was not able to. The reply box is there, but you can�t click in it because of that gray fill. Safari browser on ipad.

Cathyslife, don't understand what your full stop in your replay is supposed to say.

My hint that my images are still on google with the link to Shutterstock after deletion (even if clicking on it leads nowhere) means that this is some kind of advertisement for Shutterstock. At least the name of the company is there visible. Advertisement for Shutterstock with my deleted images? Is this ok?

You can�t delete posts, so if you change your mind about saying something, all you can do is put a character in the box. That�s what the period means.

Your images will disappear from Google in time.

Actually, I think the API for images has been that way for a long time. I deleted all my bestsellers when I found out that was happening, and that was quite a while ago. There�s probably a post about it here somewhere.

edit: here�s a post from 2017, post #5 talks about it.

Fantastic job by some of the members, with images/clips donated.

Hi,
after deleting my images one by one, my portfolio now is empty. However, when I look in my account in the column �View all top performers� there are still images showing up, that are offered by Shutterstock as �Get this image for FREE. Download this image now with a free trial. ...�

Furthermore, I find (all) my images, that I had on Shutterstock and which are now deleted, on Google images linked to Shutterstock. Doesn't Shutterstock have to make sure that these pictures are no longer there?

I think your images will show in searches for awhile, but if you click and follow them to SS, and try to purchase them, it will say they are no longer available or contact support, or something like that. Also remember that the contributor agreement allows them to sell your images for a certain period of time even after you have deleted or disabled.

How self-centered do you have to be to really think a WORLDWIDE pandemic or the news-coverage of it has anything to do with your lousy US election ?
You know, the rest of the world is suffering from the pandemic as well, it's all that is in the news all day here in Europe and we have no upcoming election and could not really care much about your US election. So, you think Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia (you know, these huge pieces of land across the ocean?) will stop covering Covid in the daily media too once your election is over? Do you think all the restrictions that are put upon us in our daily lives in Europe will be lifted once your US election is over? Do you think all microstock content is sold to the US market only? because I can guarantee you that it is not. You do realize that the US is only making up 4.23% of the world population? And you think the remaining 95,77% of the world populaton will stop experiencing, suffering from, and covering Covid in the medie once your election is over?! Seriosuly? Like, SERIOUSLY?!

Good grief take a pill. All that worrying and stress over a virus that most recover from is going to give you a heart attack.

😉

I�ve seen a couple more tweets the last couple of days of SS buyers not being able to buy an image they need, and SS contacting the contributor to re-upload it/turn it on. Yes! It�s working! 👍
