Linking To Your IStock Work Within IStock Using UBB Links
There are often times when you need to direct someone to your work elsewhere in IStock by placing a UBB link in the IStock Forum, from your IStock Member Profile, or from the description section of an image.
The examples shown below are intended for linking to your own IStock work using UBB format links, but you could also substitute the details of other members, lightboxes set up by other people, or images that aren't yours.
The following colours and naming conventions are used in the examples shown below:
- ImageID - The 6 (or 7) digit reference number of your image
- LightboxID - The 5 (or 6) digit reference number of your lightbox
- MemberName - Your name on IStock
Use the UBB link generators shown below to create links to lightboxes, profiles, portfolios and images on IStock at www.istockphoto.com. For HTML link generation see the HTML IStock Link Generator page.
UPDATED: These links now work with the new IStock V8 released 09 Jan 2006
