kay Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ive submitted a few 'weather' photos to live news today and they haven't appeared after about an hour or so which is really unusual. No email or anything saying rejected. Anyone else experiencing this too? Maybe they're just really busy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just had response from Alamy to my email. Said they've been having uploading problems all day - hopefully they'll appear soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yes, they asked me to cover an incident and I uploaded via FTP, apparently successfully, within about an hour but was asked to upload via web due to FTP issues. I was travelling and then it took me another hour and half and multiple failed uploads. So all rather a waste of time in the end as the incident must have been all but over when they emailed me. It should be remembered that (if pictures are selected) they will (usually) send them to the pictures desks before it appears in the live news feed. Oh well, that's life I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickfly Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Uploaded some pics via FTP yesterday minutes after an RTA. They didn't show after half an hour so I emailed member services then checked my FTP client and they were 'stuck' on the client server side!I then uploaded using web upload and each image hung at about 40% for ages, so, the images didn't show on the site until more than an hour after the event.Sent some (weather type) pics today, same scenario, but even after failed FTP then a successful web upload... no sign of them.

fotoDogue Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I uploaded via Reportage two or three hours ago. It just appeared in Track Submissions so I guess the system is working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
