hope somebody managed to get a screen shot....I feel like I never got what I was owed last time but had no proo of the repeated cycle.

I printed the whole list to a .pdf both this and last time.

Regarding last time, I was paid what I was owed eventually - no problems in that sense.

I have made $235.00 in the last 2 days!

I double dog dare you.

There's an easy solution, remove your portfolio.  All these problems go away and buyers can go to sites that pay higher commissions.  I'm sure I've repeated that more than 14x

Amen!  I started the removal process last month and will go at a slow pace so as not to shoot myself in the foot.  This latest incident might just hasten the process a bit. 

Is the site down now?

up, down, up, down, that´s a lot of exercise just to look at it!

what matters is that sales are still growing - stockxpert is now my best seller, and BME too

The site is probably crashing from everyone checking their stats

Would it really hurt if we would all pretend that I actually made $3k in 3 days ?

Might only hurt the one you made cheques to thinking to spend this money in advance

On the front page of StockXpert:

QuoteStockXpert is temporarily down due to technical maintenance and will be available again on Monday, December 13.

WOW, looks like it will take IS staff quite a while to sort this mess out. lol

What in the world?  Is anyone else having problems with their username not being found?  When I sign in, it takes me to a 404 Not Found page and says "The requested URL /user/login was not found on this server.".

It's not your username that's not found; it looks like they've removed several essential web pages from the site.  My guess is it's a quick and dirty way to disable access to the site while they try to unfsck what they fscked up.  Sadly, I suspect my $1000+ of sales will disappear whenever they get things running again. 

They obviously can't even lock one of their own web sites properly.

The front page has been replaced with the downtime-screen from the last fiasko and the login is not just disabled, it's literally crippled and leads to a 404.

I've seen one-man web design companies do a better job at putting a website on lock-down...

Well it looks like the first thing they need to do is get a new calender! December 13 is a Tuesday not a Monday!

Obviously, this is just a cheap and dirty way to postpone payments one more time.

IMO, it would be more than appropriate to collectively contact Joy Griffith (Senior Director, Client & Contributor Relations at iStockphoto; [email protected]) again, demanding a clear answer on when we might expect the March earnings posted.

Gotta love the StockXpert front page.  There's a statement that says the website is down for temporary maintenance and will be back online Monday December 13.   

I just wonder how long it would take till somebody starts class action suit? I am not a lawyer but maybe there is not enough people for that?

I gotta believe there are more than enough people. If anyone is spearheading this, let me know. I'd be in.

I thin something like "Getty vs Contributors" would have better grounds judging after all the ranting that happens on this forum :-) I guess unless they make one of the bigger contributors unhappy they are safe.

omg. they really did it again. it's so * embarrassing how unprofessional they act.

The site is still not working. Did anyone received some answers from either iStock or StockXpert?
