I havent. Probably jumping the gun here but lately i just dont trust istock. I would like to hear that buyers were still buying and it is being recorded and contributors are getting paid for it while this so called update with hardware is in progress. they have to increase their profits by 50% at any costs 

Six dl so far.Lets see how will be for the rest of the day.
Hope site will back to normal soon.They said uploads & inspections will not be available but not downloads.Will see!

I'm going to go over and see if that means no more deactivating. I will report back.

No, it looks like deactivating is still activated. Yay.

Dowloads are disable. At least for me. Just one since last friday.

Amazing last four mounths not working for me...

 I got 5 dl's before 8am & currently at 6 dl's after.  Sales seem pretty normal.

Well, it certainly has not been a very good day.  I don't know whether the site maintenance has anything to do or not, but the stuck in agency pics may affect sales.

I noticed these problems as well. As one iStocker said: "Agency You can check it out any time you like, but you can never leave"

They are making the search incredibly cumbersome and difficult to deal with. I also noticed when I clicked to see the Agency collection (just for sh*ts and giggles) that they have stacked the search with all the old high selling images that were Vetta or in the regular collection, then moved to Vetta then to Agency, just to make it look like a hot selling collection. I like searching by 200 per page and by the third page, all the images had zero downloads. IMO, it's deceptive and dishonest.

Yes, between average, actually quite good (for this and last month standards) here

Pretty normal Monday for me...

Pretty normal Monday for me too, zero DL's.       

Seemed like a good day until I went to bed, then woke up with the same DLs as the night before and to find that my uploads didn't go through...
