   Posted Wed Feb 17, 2010 11:46AM | What's this LiveChat business about? I can't see it (why??), but fellow iStock friends can and have emailed me about it. Is this a new feature that's part of the site update? |
      Posted Wed Feb 17, 2010 12:03PM | I spotted it (up at the top of the page with a nice logo, and in the 'Need help?' support bit to the left) about twenty minutes ago when checking my stats, but it disappeared on the next refresh.
Sounds good to me... anything that can improve the site experience for buyers gets thumbs up from me  |

We're all in there talking about you right now, so it will only appear when we are not talking about you. |
  Posted Wed Feb 17, 2010 12:25PM | I don't see it either. |

That would be cool if there were 24 hour live support added. |
     Posted Wed Feb 17, 2010 12:47PM | What you're seeing (if you're seeing it) is our brand new live chat Help feature.
Here's how it works: you click on that icon and it will open up an instant message window connecting you in real time with someone from our Support team.
The icon will only appear when the service is available.
We're doing a soft test launch on this to see how it goes. After we get some feedback and see how it works in different situations we'll do a broader announcement in the newsletters.
Edit: Also, we have one known issue: it isn't working in Safari yet. We will continue working on that.

I've never seen it so does that mean you're not talking about Marisa, or me ?  |

There should be something there even when not, otherwise posts will be, "is it working?" "it's gone" "what was that", etc. ie. Live Chat: available Live Chat: not available. |

I bet Tracy can't see it either, and the discussion (no doubt) involves an elevator. |

If you can't see it you can assume you are currently the topic of conversation. |

Cool! Sounds swanky. Thanks for the 411, Andrew.

That's a conversation I need in on. Googling some hacks right now...  |
  Posted Wed Feb 17, 2010 1:15PM | I went looking and couldn't find it. I came across the "how to find us" map and zoomed in on HQ. There is some pretty bad CA and sharpening artifacts. |
