2013 Payment Schedule - Discussion

As an added convenience we have created Google calendars for each of the available payment methods. The time coordinates with your own calendar time zone so if you are in New York City (EST), you will see 11a as the cutoff time as opposed to 9a MST. If you are in London (GMT), you will see 4p.

1. In your Google Calendar, drop menu down for Other calendars and click Add by URL



2. Choose your preferred payment method (you can add more than one) and paste the appropriate link below and click Add Calendar. The calendars are already public, no need to check the box. The links below are iCal format so you should be able to use that link for other calendar formats as well.

Now that it's added to your list of calendars, you can add notifications and reminders for yourself. Drop down the menu next to the calendar's name and choose Calendar settings. There is even a notification function that lets you know if we change the date. Hopefully that won't happen, but we all know that there is a possibility of delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

This looks good. It is great to see something positive for the site today. Thank you.

hi everyone - we have this stickied in Help forum.

The at-a-glance calendar will be updated each month but the thread link itself won't change.

Thanks, very nice


 

This is a beautiful thing Dawn & Lobo, thanks!

This is bordering unbelievable. Thank you to whoever came up with this initiative. You rock. Seriously. Always felt so 90's to have to check that PDF, not to mention it was full of errors and incomplete.. dropped there and forgotten..

Speaking of which, hopefully a few hours of development time can be invested to replace the link that points to the old 2012 calendar on the Contact Us page (where you go to request payment). Not everyone reads the forums ya know.

nice one! thanks

The change to the link you are referring to will be updated shortly. We're just excited to share the new set up with the folks who participate in the forums first.

It was well past the time to replace that PDF. Let us never speak of it again.

You can all virtually high five Pink_Cotton_Candy for the design work. Ain't she a peach?

It looks very nice, but I am just curious - for those of us who don't have google accounts, is there some other place the info will be posted, or do I just need to break down and create an account if I want to view the info?  Thanks!

Would be great if this could be loaded into smart phone calendar apps somehow.

If you use Outlook or probably most others you should be able to import the iCal file into your calendar application of choice.

^ I added the calendar to Calendar app on my Mac and I can see it just fine on iPad and iPhone. I suppose it should work similarly on Android...

I believe there are a number of google calendar sync applications out there.

Great feature - thanks!

Click on the quick calendar links for individual calendars.

Look how much faster I am than Pink_Cotton_Candy.

use the "Quick Calendar Links" at the top for this. It takes you directly to a calendar page. ETA: this does not allow you to add notifications.

and as Jason said, the long link for you to copy/paste is in iCal format so anything that uses that format should work. I'm afraid I have no experience using that for any other calendar than Google.

Nice. Great work! Thanks!

Thanks so much!


 

Looks nice.

Thanks - the Google calendars especially are great.

Now how about applying the same straightforward, clear and innovative approach to the major problems that are currently plaguing the relationship between iStock and its contributors?
