Nick Jenkins Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yet the other queue shot through - sounds like a problem on queue 'x' then. Hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It often results in a Partial Failure with one of the images failing due to a processing error but the other images should still pass QC. Happens to me occasionally especially if my upload has been interrupted. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jenkins Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Still awaiting pass through - the 24 hours is long past so I will sit tight and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 If I had anything urgent when this happened to me I re-uploaded them. They usually went quickly to Awaiting QC and then passed whilst the first lot were still stuck in processing. I then just delete the first batch when they eventually pass.

Nick Jenkins Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Dear Pearl, Kindly keep your 'good' ideas to yourself in future. My batch has landed on the queue with the issue so now are all waiting for 24 hours - except it won't be. One queue is now into day 3.What is Welsh for GGRR!! (GGRRIO?)

Steven Gillis Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 A batch uploaded a few minutes ago has just gone from Processing ... 24 hrs to awaiting QC! Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jenkins Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Maybe all this great UK weather is causing a bot of an overload? No big problem really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 It sounds like the problem is at Alamy's end. This happened a little while ago to a colleague's uploads and others were reporting the same. Might hold off uploading for now. Dim hapus Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaffen Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My average QC wait time is currently 2-3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jenkins Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Very weird - one pic I put up this morning has now been failed all in red. Yet whenI click on the entry number link it says passed! Somewhere there are issues and I have dropped a line to MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Very weird - one pic I put up this morning has now been failed all in red. Yet whenI click on the entry number link it says passed! Somewhere there are issues and I have dropped a line to MS. Apparently this happened once before to my knowledge. Seems QC were pushing the wrong buttons.

Zigzagmtart Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I believe it was posted here earlier that if it says 23 hours it should go to QC soon. But if it says 24 hours then there is at least one image with a failed upload and it will take awhile for someone to manually process your batch. The batch will eventually go through with a partial fail on at least one image. The other images will go to QC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it says 24 hours then there is at least one image with a failed upload and it will take awhile for someone to manually process your batch. The batch will eventually go through with a partial fail on at least one image. The other images will go to QC Correct. MS told me that it can take up to 10 days to go from "Processing" to "Awaiting QC". Once it hits QC and is checked, it will show as a partial fail due to a corrupted file (one failed image normally) and the rest will be passed..... unless if QC found any problems with the remaining files. This has happened a few times to me, I just continue to send other uploads which are handled in the normal way (provided they don't end up in the 24h queue) and the files in the 24h queue are picked up later once the system sorts itself out.

kbwills Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I am a new (hopeful) contributor. My initial 4 images have been 'awaiting QC' since 24th July. Is this part of the same issue? Or is the initial submission QC longer than subsequently? Should I just be patient? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I did my original 4 just this past Saturday. They don't do QC on weekends. They passed on Monday morning and it took about 6 hours or so for them to appear in the search and go for sale. I uploaded 2 pics yesterday and they are still in the queue. I uploaded another 4 this evening, so we'll see which batch goes through first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allison Brice Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm new and my first batch is now closing in on 72 hours. Judging by your posts I should delete and reupload? Suggestions for this newbie would be most appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions for this newbie would be most appreciated! You can't delete an upload, you'll just have to be patient. The first 4 sometimes take a bit longer. 72 hours isn't exceptional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm new and my first batch is now closing in on 72 hours. Judging by your posts I should delete and reupload? Suggestions for this newbie would be most appreciated! Welcome Allison! No, I wouldn't delete and reupload (not sure you can actually delete a waiting batch) but I would just wait and see what happens. Cheers, John.
