Still on the to do list:
11/11

Done:
0/11

------------------

0.
First and foremost, someone who answers to our request in this forum

1.
Top one priority would be an API with access to most of the informations.

2.
A view of the gallery with a way to edit, delete, mass delete (and mass edit?) pictures
And have access to stats for individual pictures
(More info: there is no proper way to delete or edit images at the moment, which really makes it a pain..get image ID, go to main page, status of submitted photos, edit image by ID, etc..)

3.
A profile page to which users have access
As well as an optional description space for each photo, where the photographer can link back to collections/series and self-crafted lightboxes (Bascially a field where the user can write some text with UBB formatting)
(More info: The users should have a way to contact us, possibly bookmark the page through the site (kinda like "favorite user"), i mean where is it better to do that than on THE subscription site?)

4.
Auto-categorize

5.
Info about what keyword combination was used to buy the image

6.
Free image of the week not in the weekly top50

7.
Polling system for threads in the forums

8.
A special page that lists EL sales with the buyers name + company ordered chronologically as a list.

9.
Referrals with a gallery should be listen on top of the list with number of sales and $ gained next to the name. Something like that, while the name links back to the gallery (and on the bottom, the total earnings):

Name___________Downloads_______Earnings
John Doe__________1000______________30$
Hillary C.__________2000______________60$
MacGyver new_______-_________________-

10.
To be able to order pictures in lightbox like sets and track sales for that particular set, also while browsing the gallery the buyers should be able to check those sets (We already asked for this particular feature many times in the past)

If there's a bigger plan in place to work on stuff than this, we'd like to know. If not, this stuff should at least be taken seriously...

I'm wondering if anyone hears what we're asking or if talking about all this is just a pipe dream.

And another bump.

It would also be nice to be able to specify EL by image. There are many that I would offer Enhanced Licenses on, but a few that I wouldn't, and thus I can't offer EL on any of them.

All of these things would be excellent, if implemented into Shutterstock.
