geogphotos Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Sub of 5 pics. One has passed QC the others are still showing 'Image in QC'. I've never seen that before. Other Subs today before and after have passed quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Do you have a 5-star rating? If so, your images may be handled differently. Last year, I mistakenly uploaded a noisy version of an image. It failed QC -- which it should have -- but the rest of the batch went straight through, and my 5 🌟 rating thankfully remained intact (Whew!).

If it fails I will crop and remove the telegraph pole and power lines. It crossed my mind at the time but I felt that it added something to the image. Just never seen an example like this before. As you know it is usually all or nothing with QC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geogphotos Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) That Sub is still stuck so resubmitted. Not sure what happened there. As I said I've never seen that before. Maybe the electricity meter ran out half way through 🤪 ( don't suppose that reference will make sense to anyone younger than about 55 in UK - in rented bedsits you used to have to put money into the meter to get any power) Edited September 28, 2020 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had showers where you needed to add coins to get hot water, not nice when you run out, but never electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to feed a dime into the lock on the bathroom stall before you could enter. If you didn't happen to have a dime, you were out of luck. I can remember having some tense moments. 😧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've encountered plenty of those as well in Latin America. Montreal's pay toilets used to inspire a lot of colourful graffiti in both official languages, but I can't repeat any of it here. This thread is definitely spiralling out of control. I wonder how Ian's stalled photos are doing?

Alamy Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi Ian, This looks like a technical error, I've passed it on to the QC team to sort. You should get an email from them, so will close this thread for now Thanks, Elisabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
