Well, if sxc will not be the same you can always come to http://www.multimedia-stock.com … it is a fine community

I haven’t visited the site since the problems. I switched to Flickr (using photo credits of course) which I think builds better community anyhow.

Yes, I agree with you, Erin. I don’t like that Getty Images has scooped up my favourite image sites! They don’t show a preview of the images when you hover over them. They can at least add that feature …

Def tweet out if Uncorked responds. I’d like to hear what that might be.

Hi Lew! Sorry to hear that you are also experiencing issues. Let’s hope they work it out quickly.

Brandon: I’m glad that you aren’t having any issues but it seems like a lot of people are Lovin’ the use of the lame sauce though. It’s spicy lame sauce today!

Darren: No probs – I had received an email and thought uh oh… and well, uh oh it is. Hopefully they figure it out.

Didn’t know about the aquisition, thanks for the info.

I keep getting timed out or a page loaded without the style sheet. I wonder if they may be having some issues with moving the site to a different server?

Yeah, I’m sadden now too! I can access the site, but only if I’m willing to wait FOREVER!!! I also didn’t receive any of the error scripting you have pictured above! Let’s only hope SXC.HU isn’t completely tainted, and this is a short term issue!

Getty Images + SXC.HU = LAME SAUCE

Erin,

I’m unable to reach sxc.hu as well (Georgia, US) – it’s not just you.
