I noticed that I only have 8 photos in my portfolio. I did not make any sales and every dis I make a sale. What is going on?

I did not actually find my photos through the search engine, meaning the clients can not find my images.

Yup. 90% of my port is gone. Searching by "new" is screwed up...shows images from last year. what. I really do think they hired away iStock staff. Breaking things on a regular basis during the busiest time of year.

I have 500 images, apparently (should be 2,200-ish). Plus, a search I do often that has about 28,000 results now has just over 4,000

Calm down everybody!
As they are making changes on the site it is probably a temporary glitch.
Don't worry, they have backups and backups of backups

It's not just that there is some glitch, but that it happens mid-day on the East coast and it will affect sales. Adjustments should be made on a Saturday evening.

Has anyone figured out why some clips stayed online?

By the way, i currently have a sale of one of my "deleted" images, so i think that it is not big problem, the problem is just related to how our portfolios looks to us, but images are still active and selling...

Why are they tweaking and fiddling with the actual site instead of using an offline test version?

Because beta testers cost
And we are free beta testers

Not mine, I'm still dripping and soggy.  :) I have one page for my entire portfolio. No matter which sort I click it's the same page. Oh wait, it's back, all I needed to do was wait a few minutes. But best match is now popular, best sellers first, popular is some bizzaro collection of never sold images, new is actually new. Two out of three ain't bad. Meat Loaf is dead. SS is just broken again, like usual.  :-\

In protest I'm not uploading anything new, until tonight or tomorrow. That will have them scared. I bet they quake in fear at the NY office when anyone says, I'm never uploading again, and then an hour later is crying about how their latest 40 uploads didn't work right.  ::)

So what did happen here then? Do we have lost sales, what was the glitch, why has this happened again? Will SS ever answer these questions in a transparent manner we can perhaps never expect from coorps??

Why does this issue of ports vanishing keep on happening??

That would explain why I sold 3 clips in a row that had no sales before.
