Mine are back now

Looks like they pulled out the duct tape and bailing twine and cobbled things back together once again.

I wonder how long it will be before the entire site implodes.  I keep asking myself why they would pop $10 million dollars for for leasehold improvements related to SS headquarters office relocation; while leaving the SS site a mess.

If they cared at all about contributors they would have skipped the "Vanity Office Re-Location" and spent the money making their site stable functional for buyers and contributors.

Oh, be fair. If it had been another company, this might have dragged on for weeks, especially over the Festive Season.

This has been dragging on for years. The site has constant bugs that affect some contributors more than others. 

The reality is most site owners would spend the capital needed to prevent these constant site bugs in the first place, especially when they pull in the kind of money SS does.

Yes. There will always be bugs popping up, but SS fixes things pretty quickly. Unlike some other site.

I can honestly report that I have been fortunate on other micro sites.  I can not recall my port experiencing one bug elsewhere including the small sites.  My sales on DT with fewer images bring 30% more income.  I pulled my port from IS over the Google drive fiasco but prior to that had no problems there.

To the contrary over the last 3 years SS has been one long and costly string of bugs. I lost count of how many times my port has gone missing, my keywords missing or not searchable.  Unfortunately I do not have the time to go into the numerous and long term bugs that have gone unfixed for extended periods of time (months, years) and have cost sales.

If you have not experienced bugs on SS which render your images invisible to buyers, count your blessings. Because some of us have not been so lucky.

In my past life I was a site developer, SS counts on the fact that most of it's contributors do not realize just how mangled and out dated parts of the site have become.
