Apart from that, weekends and bank holidays aside, Alamy do a great job in getting images past QC ie 9 times out of 10 the day after submission.

Sally Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I think the Alamy servers must be on strike. Nothing I have uploaded since Friday is yet appearing in AIM. I thought they might appear today after the holiday. Several uploads today aren’t showing either. Anyone else experiencing this? I emailed the Alamy team.

BobD Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I uploaded 2 small batches over the weekend. the first passed QC this afternoon. The second was stuck in processing for over 24 hours which is unusual, they now have entered waiting for QC. I only upload small batches and don't use FTP.

John Richmond Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 One batch uploaded yesterday evening has only just cleared processing and gone into QC. A second, uploaded 12:45 today was in QC by 1:30. Problems hopefully solved now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I seems it may just be me, then.... batches have varied in size, and I did upload some at several points today, so in total there are a lot of photos that appear to have gone into the ether. I'll wait and see what the Alamy team say tomorrow. (I use Alamy Lightroom Bridge to upload. news photos have been working fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Ok, 127 images have just appeared in QC, all in one submission, despite having been uploaded over 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
