Yes, can register fine, but the password that is emailed is totally different to what is entered.
Thanks. Comments like these will help me widdle it down. If we are all on wp 3.9 and upgraded then it will be easier to narrow it down to the cause.
Just to clarify don’t click “YES” on the pole if you get a different pass in email than you registered with.
After a few results and people replying, I’ll give a number of sites a look to find a common cause. Thanks for waiting.
Symbiostock is NOT abandoned! Not by a long shot.
Helloooooo do you see the penguin above? If there is a penguin, there is hope. Even if its a little penguin, its a little hope.
I’m not getting a clear signal from you guys. I just upgraded WordPress and my plugins — did a registration, and everything went great! However, just before that it was not so great. I’m not sure what the intermediate problem was. I read this thread a few times – I can’t see if this is a shared problem (based on the latest version)
I’ll make a little pole for you guys … viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1455
I’ve been busy on projects.
Is this a problem everyone is having? Its possible something could have broke since last update. Please chime in.

Simply “toggle” the theme. Turn it off then on again. It should run the installer which will update your emailer plugin script.
THP had actually trouble-shot this a while ago. Also AJT had made a small revision. I can’t take much credit for this!
We’ve shut down the analytics system for now (sorry cascoly!) since one of the history-logging queries is a little resource-heavy.
Before I send out a mass-email, please try this out and let me know how it works for you. I’ll be on it first thing tomorrow to follow up.
Thanks guys, as always your patience and dedication to our project is appreciated.
Its not extremely necessary. It was made for extending Symbiostock, a sort of anticipated measure to accomodate the wild marketing interest Symbiostock would generate as companies came on left and right to shake hands with you guys…
PicturEngine is the only one who utilizes it presently 😀
Future reference: You’ll have some similar functionality in the new Symbiostock.
Will have an update today. I’ll post the changes with the new download.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m retarded for keeping my port up there, but honestly they haven’t started doing the really bad stuff like Istock, so I’m allowing myself a small allowance of retardation.
What is your background?
I appreciate everyones comments. I don’t ever expect people to agree on a subject like this.

While in religous school and studying the scriptures in Hebrew. I never heard The Nephilim as fallen angels. Only in the re-writing of the bible by later early Christians did they become fallen angels.
I’m not sure where you got this from, but the word Nephilim is in the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament. The word Nephilim is actually a Hebrew word. While most names in the Bible are transliterated or translated (such as Jesus), in most Bibles this Hebrew word was left in the original Hebrew.
For example, the NIV states
Genesis 6:4
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”Here is the original Hebrew text of Genesis 6:4:
Genesis 6:4
הַנְּפִלִים הָיוּ בָאָרֶץ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וְגַם אַחֲרֵי־כֵן אֲשֶׁר יָבֹאוּ בְּנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים אֶל־בְּנוֹת הָאָדָם וְיָלְדוּ לָהֶם הֵמָּה הַגִּבֹּרִים אֲשֶׁר מֵעוֹלָם אַנְשֵׁי הַשֵּׁם׃As you can see (since you stated that you studied the scriptures in Hebrew), the first word (on the right in bold) is the word Nephilim.
The root of the word comes from the Hebrew word “nafal”, which means “to fall” (see here: http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H5307&t=NASB).
Another clue that shows that they were fallen angels is the term “sons of God” used in the same verse. This is a Hebrew term (b’ney Elohiym) that is used in other places in the Bible (Job 1:6, Job 2:1, Job 38:7) and is always translated as “angels”.
I would like to write more, but I have a meeting that I need to attend…

I’m really getting annoyed now at having the Symbiostock logo and author stuff on my home page and will probably switch to another theme. Getting rid of widgets makes no difference, assigning another page as the home page makes no difference, switching from Sym child to Sym makes no difference.
Are you using the same version I am? Most of this stuff is easily changed out of the box. Let me know if something silently broke…
AJT has helped a bit. Gonna have an update out soon.
I’d say just tolerate this version (its not bad for a year of reactionary development to the ever-shifting tides of stock photo) … the new version I’m slowly assembling will be much better.
Web stuff is annoying isn’t it! Slowly but surely I’m making the new version — a vast simplification, improvement, etc. In the meantime let us know how you evolve.
I dumped a huge part of my humanity into this present project, so now I’m sort of pushing myself on the latest version. But we do have a nicely coordinated team guiding its progress. The uploader for instance can be used on the image editing page.

I got a bit older and I learned “Oh, ok, Pharoah didn’t realy survive the flood and go back to an empty kingdom…he died in the Red Sea”…
I don’t believe that the Bible indicates if Pharaoh was killed or not.
.first, it’s not clear when the moses stuff was supposed to have happened — so there are several possibilities for who was pharaoh — but all potential pharaohs have tombs in the valley of the kings, and there are no contemporary records of any pharaoh or his army being destroyed. there are contemporaneous accounts for the period -1500 -1100 BCE that document Egypt’s conflicts with Hittites, Hyksos, peoples from the sea et al
the bible doesn’t start to have any historical credibility until much later, eg the Babylonian captivity, and even then the bibilical accounts were written long after the time they purport to describe
Now I see why your portfolio is so diverse and historic! You guys have been holding out on us.
@ ShazamImages thanks for the references. I had always read the translation “fellers” (causing people to fall, or bullying) but I didn’t realize it was also tranlsated “fallen” in other renditions. Depending on which one is correct, it changes everything!
Btw Psalms 136:25 talks about Pharoah going down with the rest of his army in the red sea.
Its nice seeing the Symbiostocker’s insights outside of Stock photo! There is a whole group of multi-talented individuals here.
I had learned that the fallen angels cohabited with women they took, and their sons were the giants – simply a larger human with a bully attitude.

We were standing in line at the movie and there were lots of older people and families with children lined up to see it. Several older people walked out of the theater about the time the rock monsters were introduced. When Noah had an flood-escapee on the ark, the sons had no wives on the ark, and Noah was contemplating killing a baby, we decided to trickle our family out to a bathroom break that we didn’t come back from 😕 My littlest son was absolutely tickled over the rock monsters battling the people trying to hyjack the ark though 😛 …I was waiting for Legolas to come out with his bow and take a nice sniper position from on top of the ark, but instead we switched over to Methusela digging for berries in the ground. When he finally found one he put it in his mouth and braced himself to ride a wave through the magic-eden-forest they had planted.
Guys if we ever make an extra $125 million on Symbiostock lets make an accurate Noah movie, and use the profits to make a few more corrected bible movies. Apparently the trend is up on this subject! But heck if we can’t rescue stock photo we are certainly not going to touch holywood! ( I hope my humor doesn’t offend )
