Bhandol Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Also still waiting from 20th December..... seems like submissions from that particular day may be having problems, maybe a record number of submissions or technical glitch. Parm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 If mine don't pass this morning they won't be on sale for another 10 days as I'm going away this afternoon. Been waiting since 20th Dec.

Kathy deWitt Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I enquired yesterday about QC. This was Alamy's reply: "Hello Kathy The current delay in QC is due to the festive holidays.

And that's what I'm talking about :| I think I get their point of view - "we've already inconvenienced x submitters - lets not upset any more". It's probably good management... To be fair I did suspect my upload might not get looked at for a while but the pictures were ready. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unfair that some uploaded more recently are going through quickly. And that's what I'm talking about :| Submissions will find themselves in one of several queues. As in a supermarket, if you find yourself in a slower queue, folk who joined after you (but who are in a faster queue) can be served before you. Same here . . . except that unlike the supermarket, here you can't chop and change the queue you're in. My advice? Do something else, and check again in a few days :-) dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do something else, and check again in a few days :-) Sorry, but my camera is part of my hand, never away Every day my next (ready to) upload batch is getting bigger and bigger arterra, lol I now upload in smaller batches so that for those customers who search the "New Images" button regularly see my images in there more often. So Arletta May I suggest you do not upload too big a batch and split it into smaller batches, whatever you are comfortable with, over a longer period. The other alternative is to upload a large batch but only complete keywording a few at a time to the ready over a few days. Same result. Others will probably disagree but I would be interested to see their comments. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arletta Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Allan, my batches was always about 5-20 images. Like you do, I preffer small batches, but since 20-th Dec. it got a lot of waiting and growing... I have a lot of old photos which should be uploaded long time ago. In last 2 weeks I was preparing old images and taking new (news mostly). This way I have what to upload and really would like to close this part and start new - travel around country and get new photos So, this is one time that I want to upload more in batch... and I'm stuck Edit. Thanks Alamy for review! I'm not stuck now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
