OneWay Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hey, this is like the good old days when we sat for 28 days waiting to get our QC results. The "24-hour" glitch in the system (which Alamy acknowledged) delayed my August 1 submissions until August 12. Four more submissions from August 13 and 14 are waiting in line behind Niels' and Kathy's, and Alamy shuts down for the weekend in less than two hours... Oh well, maybe Monday?

Stephen Haunts Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I am new to Alamy. I passed my first 4 images on Monday. I uploaded 12 more on tuesday and it went to Awaiting QC. It stayed like that until this afternoon (friday). I was convinced I was going to fail QC on something stupid, as this was only my 2nd submission. Thankfully I passed, they must have just been busy with a backlog :-) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave No, you have a chance early Saturday morning Danish time (you are 9 hours behind or something on your old steam clock). Very often my batches have been QCed during Friday night (Danish time), don't ask me why - and with a bit of luck your images will be on sale Sunday - as weekend server updates have been frequent, too.

OneWay Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just looked...all submissions from August 13 and 14 passed QC with 1/2 hour to spare before the weekend. For some reason, everything seems to take longer from my location in Vancouver. A fellow contributor from a suburb of our city gets faster service. I don't believe I have received QC notification on a Saturday, although a few sales have shown up ! Thanks, Alamy. I can now get down to key wording.

Ed Rooney Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I've been waiting a week, unusual for me. Could this be my very first QC failure? It could happen. I suggest we begin each day by singing the opening number from Rogers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma: "Oh what a beautiful morning; oh what a beautiful day; I've got a beautiful feeling; everything's going my way."

davidhu Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just an endorsement for Niel's comment. I had batch go through QC early this morning, Saturday. Quite a regular occurrence for my stuff. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libby w Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have noticed that the pics I uploaded yesterday went to processing 24 days. I usually get 23 days then soon after goes awaiting qc. Does this mean anything untoward? Libby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Coombs Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I uploaded last night (Sunday). Started out at 23 hours, but I see it has changed to 24 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm now going into a third week of Awaiting QC since my uploading of Aug 11. I'm assuming that I have an image or two that have failed QC . . . but I don't know. What happens next? I'm not sure about the step-by-step here since I've never had a QC failure. Well, until now. At some point is Alamy going to contact me with the bad news? Edo, in some confusion in Lower Manhattan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sorry, I can't remember either. You have to wait until it comes through, I think. Considering your record MS might look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks, Mark. You may recall when I emailed MS about the NEX-6, and the unhelpful answer I got. I'm not inclined to contact them and ask them to be helpful about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point is Alamy going to contact me with the bad news? Edo, in some confusion in Lower Manhattan My last rejection has been 4 years ago, before the "extended delay" policy has been put in place. Back then you got an email that your submission has failed, online you could find out which was the rejected image, remove it from you batch and reload the whole batch. If you have more than one batch in the queue, all of them will get rejected. I suppose the procedure is the same today. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks, Vlad (the Impaler?). None of that has happened. I'm just waiting (or Awaiting QC). I must say I'm not upset at all with Alamy QC, and I'm okay with waiting for their next move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sorry, I can't remember either. You have to wait until it comes through, I think. Considering your record MS might look into it. Yes, you will get the email they (sometimes) send or when you check in Track Submissions it will say failed. I can't remember exactly how it goes but I think you click on the failed notice and it tells you which image failed and why. Been a long time for me (fingers crossed). A bunch of us seem to be answering at the same time -- all saying basically the same thing. You will eventually know why the image failed if an image failed.

Steve B Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Are there still a lot of people with their uploads going straight to 24 hours. As I noticed that my first 94 submissions went straight to 23 hours with the exception of one upload..but my last 4 have all gone to 24 hours and seem to take a long time , to to go through QC, with one upload going to 23 hours then 24 hrs then back to 23 hours it then passed QC then it went back to 24 hours even though the images had passed QC were online for sale ( work that one out ) I am guessing that there must still be a problem going on..it sure makes it hard work...

It just took a little longer than usual. God, am I getting paranoid, or what? Good luck with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
