Tony Green Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have been occupied for the last six months with a book project, hence have not submitted any images. But I submitted one image ten days ago and just had it approved. Is that the normal wait period now? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm sorry, Tony. I'm not familiar with this term . . . "normal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Time to get back to normal again, Ed And Tony, the ten days are not so abnormal if you end up in a slow queue. Normally I wait from 2-4 days, but it varies to a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 12-48 hours is "normal" for me these days, unless of course... That's a fast track past the sin bin, 4-5 days is more normal for me, but occasionally longer. Very occasionally, where several batches have been submitted over a number of days, the last lot will go through in 24 hours. Had some failures in the early days, but never actually experienced life inside. No doubt my time will come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My recents have taken 2 to 5 days. Haven't checked whether this includes weekends. I have no idea what is normal but based on comments on the forum it is variable. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gaffen Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 There was a recent glitch with Alamy upload, which resulted in photographers making duplicate uploads, because the numbers were not being reported properly. eg a delay, or not at all. So that probably caused a bit of a backlog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I put 39 up after I was "un-celled." They passed. I put 30 more up yesterday . . . now I've got omertà . . . the Golden Silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addict Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 What has changed? Usually when one fails you don't get the failed notice until 30 days later. I uploaded one yesterday and got the failure notice today? Does it mean I have to wait 30 days to upload again. That is - it will be 30 days until I get a pass or failure on anything I upload today? Have they changed their procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastrega Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think you only have to wait 30 days if you are actually sin-binned. As Alamy have already given you the fail, you are not in the sin bin and you can upload more. I've failed, then uploaded more and it just took longer for the next batch to pass, but still within a week. I don't know if this is new - I haven't been here long enough to know if things have changed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Palmer Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It is mid summer and a lot of people go on vacations with their kids. Maybe some of the image reviewers have gone on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they changed their procedure? A, I suggest you test the situation by uploading one image right away. Make it a safe one and see if that passes . . . then you are good to go. If you've never had a QC failure before then QC has probably not given you the 28 days in the sin bin. Is this your first QC failed image?

Allan Bell Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 If you have seen James latest webcast he talks about new tools to expedite contributors upload of images from upload through QC and keywording. Perhaps the early notice of a fail is part of the possible changes to come. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that you can start uploading again whenever you like. But please don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
