Several of you have noticed that changes at iStockphoto have caused the UBB Helper not to work. To you, I say: It’s fixed!

There were a couple of issues that came about, presumably as a side-effect of iStockphoto’s most recent redesign.

• Q: No sizes other than thumbnail or ginormous are showing. How come?
  A: Cuz iStock removed the intermediate sizes. Now, they are not presented as options in the UBB Helper.
• Q: What does “scrape” in the lightbox toolbar do and why can’t I make it work?
  A: Cuz when iStock changed their markup (for the better, I might add), the scraping code could not find the page elements anymore. That’s now fixed. What it does is, when supplied with a lightbox ID, grab the thumbnails for a bunch of images and display them in groups, three across. You can edit from there.

So, now you might ask: Are any new developments planned? The short answer is that I can either program or photograph. I think photography wins out for now. But stay tuned…
