My image "_DSC6523.jpg - 2DBMAH3 Uploaded on : 17 Nov 2020" isn't on the database yet. UK time

 

so not even all of the 17th, yikes.  not good.

I'm also thinking that when i submit live news, i should submit also a couple images through stock at same time so they are up while the LN submission sits in Limbo if this is going to go on.

Or in my case the 16th, they're clearly short of a good Operations Manager - if I was a few years younger I'd send my CV in!

Fully up to date now, including yesterday's work.

I've lost track a little but it's either two or three days behind again. Being as it's the core of Alamy's sales income you would have thought it would be a priority to get a database that works as advertised.

 

Yes. What I'm noticing is if I update some keywords, spellings in caption etc if I click through to the image the next day the update is there, but the updates are not searchable until perhaps the day after. It's not so good for keeping up with moving trends or tweaking images to match common searches.

 

perhaps unrelated but I'm also seeing that at least one keyword phrase (which doesn't just pertain to my images) returns literally 0 relevant results, almost as if that keyword phrase is being shadowbanned/blacklisted.

i wonder if the server full update is just later now.  Maybe the work set up still affects it.

 

My blue number is up as of noon London GMT, but image still not available for sale

so updates from yesterday seems to have been done already.  images are up.

 

 

also based on test i seems the cutoff is still 1AM GMT to make the cut, for image that had gone through QC

Three or four days behind again. Weekends seem to be an issue and then a few days of human intervention required to get it back on track
