I think working out purchasing bugs should be a big priority.
I don’t believe that this is a bug with Symbiostock, but rather with the Safari browser on Apple devices.
I’m using Safari on the iMac and I never had issues when doing test purchases.
Congrats, Christine!
Here’s a promo code for the UK, maybe someone can use it on a NEW account with UK billing address: ACJLK-M9RWT-RLCY
Looks like this one is for UK billing addresses only.
We’re sorry, you’re not eligible for this promotional code for the following reasons: Your billing address doesn’t match the country or region specified in the offer details. Because you already used a promotional code in this account, you aren’t eligible for another. Your account is past the maximum age limit specified in the offer details.
Getting the most visitors by organic Google search.
BTW, I’m selling the domains stock-photos.us and stock-images.us at $100 each if anybody is interested. I hope it’s not against the rules to mention that here.
I still don’t think paid advertising is the way to go. Especially when you sell highly specialized products at a very low price. Why would you want to spend $1 per click and then sell your image at $1? And that’s only if you make a sale per click which is highly unlikely. It’s like working for Google or Facebook or Bing, Yahoo … They’ll get richer while you struggle to stay afloat.
The free ad coupons, sponsored by Bluehost or occasionally by Google and Bing, are a different story. I use them but I don’t continue the ads after their value is used up.
Thanks, ajt.
No security issues noticeable so far.
The only thing that annoys/confuses me a little is the fact that the author box is shown on the right side of the topic. It’s the only forum I know that does that and it makes reading information in context to the author harder than necessary, IMO.

I’ve decided to continue developing this version and refining it continuously — keeping it perfect and up to date. Tuesday – Friday I’d like to pull a lot of all-day-ers to fix all the bugs possible.
When things are set, I’m going to make a simple-symbio which is cloud based. It would be as wordpress.com is to wordpress.org — a simple, limited solution to those who “want something handed to them”. As things work out, it might just fund this part of Symbio which is more a more driven audience, and more independent.
Very good decision. That’s the way to go, IMO.

I didn’t do 3.1.1 bit I see that 3.1.2 is now available. Is it safe to update if I’m on PHP 5.3?
I second the question, only I’m on PHP 5.2?
Thanks, Martha.

Also, I’ve mentioned this before…at least hosting with BlueHost, there are Google and Facebook advertising coupons. You get $50 in free Facebook advertising and $100 in Google advertising after you spend $25 with them. Just scroll down in your C panel to “promotional.” There’s also a Twitter coupon, but I haven’t checked it out yet.
But surely spending $25 and getting $175 worth of advertising between Google and Facebook is a pretty good deal.
Yeah, I used the Bluehost coupons, even though my site wasn’t hosted at BH anymore at that time.
Last night I had the first sale of a repeat buyer that came back after a little more than a month.
I actually think it’s a great idea to set up the new and much easier Symbiostock, cloud based first, then self hosted for more advanced users. That’s probably the way to go if you want of reach more than just a few hundreds of stock contributors.
However, I also think the existing Symbiostock theme should be polished and finished first to give the SYS community stability and piece of mind, and to give you, Leo, freedom and time to work on the new project.
I have to say, I’m all around quite pleased with my Symbiostock site. That is until a new update comes and occasionally breaks things that worked before (like 3.1.1). Why not try to polish the few things addressed here, just like viewtopic.php?f=5&t=998, and finalize the theme to the most stable version? That can’t be so much work, compared to what you have done before.
Then you’re off the hook to build a completely new and simpler version of it.
