In my quest for searching the Pricing/Payments chart, I came a accross many typos in the website and some broken links...
Here is one from the about us page the HREF links to http://www.dreamstime.com/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.dreamstime.com/sellimages%E2%80%9D

Which is wrong, its a double repition of the sytax.

Fix it, it makes DT looks really lame and the typos are even more shameful..
There are some in the FAQs page

I'm guessing you meant 'syntax' instead of 'sytax'... :)

And 'across' instead of 'accross'

And 'repetition' not 'repition'

And, while we're at it, 'Fix it please' would be more polite. :)

Ok... Please! are you satisfied? :)






BTW, my post wasn't intended to the epitome of English grammar... Sad you put it up in comparison to your corporations website content. very childish! :) Whose text do you think the millions of visitors read YOURS or My Forum Post? :) Huh? :)

If you think it is ok to have typos and broken links, don't fix it! :)
And if you don't then don't make a mockery of someone who is pointing a finger at you! and even more so DON'T run a Suggestions and Policies Forum. :)

Should I put in some more smilies to soften it up, or do you get my drift? :)

We have to be happy that there are people who wants to help !!!!! and take the time to point out those bugs and mistakes !!! And if it is going a bit wrong because those people do not know the english language good or forget to type "please "..... Be happy and say thanks.

Greetings from Jacky7... please

Clearly.

Do you not see the irony of someone highlighting errors on the site, with a post which is littered with errors itself???

And a little politeness goes a long way, in my opinion.

So chill out, read a book or something. No need for all the dramatics. I'm not an admin here at DT as I think you were suggesting, I just browse the forums correcting peoples spelling!

And use as many smilies as you like. I only use them when I mean it.

I was about to write similar comment, Stuart. You are not alone here.

I think it's a very kind act to help a kid across the busy street. But if you are intending to do it with a punch and shoot: "Go, you moron, go!!", it doesn't help anyone.
If you want to help then help, if you want to berate then berate, you can't do both at the same time.
But I'm pretty sure, the problem it's not about typos and broken links at all...
Niloyd, we still love you, and welcome to Dreamstime!

EDITED TO ADD: and me too, I'm not an admin and I don't run this forum, I'm just a contributor like you, who has its opinion. And I don't usually speak English. :)

Hey I have an idea. . how about we suggest a new message board category called, 'Gripes and Grievances and Nasty Come-Uppins' Then we could have all the drama and third party chastisements in one, easy to access, place. :)

LOL that was funny...
... and I always think after I have pushed the Post button, I should have kept my mouth shut... sometimes I write the post and then delete it, didn't manage to do it this time... I suspect many of us think the same way right now...

oups... I mixed the meaning of 'always' and 'often' in my previous post. ;)

Dear admins, can you move that thread to the place where we usually keep all complaints and gripes and grievances about refusals, please?
Of course after tech guys have fixed those broken links on About us page. Thank you!
