I just tried, too.  No luck.

How long has this been going on? What made them break their own site?

Hopefully this will not cost us sales, although it seems the buyer's side is up and running...?

They were setting it up to give us all a 50% raise and it choked their system.  So now they are going back to normal pricing and it should be working soon.

Same here.

I want a pleasant surprise when the site goes back up!

Hello everyone,

Due to an unexpected outage last night, we have taken Shutterstock's contributor site offline to help improve load time for customer downloads.  We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to have to all operations back up as soon as possible.  Once the system is back up and running perfectly, we will inform you as soon as possible.  Your patience is appreciated.

For updates, follow @ShutterstockReq on Twitter or email us: [email protected].

Sincerely,
Anthony Correia
Director, Contributor Success
Shutterstock|Bigstock

My patience ran out several years ago after patiently waiting for shutterstock.com to fix the serious site bugs that have been plaguing some but not all of shutterstock's contributors for years.

I would highly encourage you to dig down to the root of the problem and allocate the manpower and financial resources needed to finally fix these serious site issues.

lets keep it in one thread
