Tests so far, While you have a submission in QC, new submissions also go to "QC- holding pattern", once you get to All clear, straight through until your number comes up again for random QC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 After my recent flub, I reverted to overnight QC. Now I'm back to instant QC, so thankfully the new system -- be it automated or manual -- appears to have some built-in forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickfly Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I've been steadily uploading for a couple of days and the images seem to pass as soon as they leave my FTP client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Stirling Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Mine is 5 star, hadn't noticed before the mention. Photos in the past would come through as passed late afternoon, now anytime and much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I've only now noticed it because of a rare delay, but the database update has also been more reliable of late enabling images to be live extremely quickly. Hopefully somebody is working today to flick that switch as I have a number of election night overflow images waiting to go on sale. They threw us out of our local elections not long after the results were announced so I didn't upload too many on the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 For months before the 5 star thing, my news pics went on sale seconds after I uploaded them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't surprised if that was one of the reasons for the culling of news contributors, with uploads needing to be 110% accurate with the images available for immediate download. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned in my post above, the noise was very obvious (even more embarrassing). Just done a similar thing late this Friday night! (Friday 13th!!). Sent through 2 images which I had intended to delete within a batch of about 14!! Looks like QC have picked it up - still stuck in it this morning. As you say, good to see QC works, but could have done without it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be back on instant QC now, and I'm still a five-star general despite the recent flub. So there probably isn't much to worry about. I'm going to be extra vigilant from now on. Best of luck.

MizBrown Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'm curious. Does anyone have four stars, or is it either three or five? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I just uploaded 75 illustrations - I've got 3 stars one fail earlier this year for the first time in many years - other stuff has flown through here within 24 hours the past few weeks, so fingers crossed. They've all made it through a couple of nit-picky sites, but I really don't know how illustrations are judged. I got on a tear and made a ton for Christmas and New Years which I have uploaded too late but for web use it's still possible to get a last-minute license I guess - and a bunch for Easter which I'd normally try to get up by January so I'm early.

Marianne Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 All my illustrations uploaded late last night passed this morning and my QC rank is still 3 stars, so not immediate, but fast enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandyAppleRed Images Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Noticed I'd gone from 3 to 5 stars recently (assuming coloured in ones are good, not bad!). Hadn't read this thread before this morning so did a quick upload of 8 and it went in instantly. From upload to keyworded to on-sale - just under half an hour - cheers Alamy, I'll settle for that!

They'll still need the database update to occur before they're actually on sale, but still, loving this new super power 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
