How long to review images?

[RGebbiePhoto]

Just wondering, going on almost nine days, plus or minus...  I'd like to get more images up and working for me!

Thanks for expanding the pending column to 50, now if you could expand it to 150, i won't be so backlogged on submissions for this site  

Thanks again!

Got a bit excited this morning when I saw one approved and the queue starting to move, but after that one, nothing... so I still have those 52 waiting...

Anyone else having this problem with the queue? I don't mind waiting, but the response time seems to have taken a dramatic change in the last 2 weeks...

I wouldn't mind so much if we could see the next few pages, then I could load up the submissions and edit them, and they would roll in whenever... but since I have to wait for fifty images to cycle, it's a bit disheartening to see the queue stopped

Have noticed the same thing.  I have images waiting approval for about two weeks.  I find this to be completely unacceptable.  The site has become so slow that I am considering removing all my images here.  I have been here over a year, have over a hundred images and not one sale.  I know my port is considered small but elsewhere I have smaller ports with many sales.  I have become very discouraged and disappointed with this site.

YAY!! Seems they are running thru the queue again!  Only have three more pending, now to upload another batch and wait again

Hoping it was a server problem or something of that nature... Any comments from Admin?  Just curious, and hoping it was a one time glitch...

I just don't understand this.  I have a grouping I sent out on the same day, they reviewed two, then none for about three days, then did another seven or so and stopped again.

Not a favorable opinion at this point. Low views, zero sales, slow to approve, small upload queue...
I don't see any reason to pull photos, but at this point, low on my list for submissions...

Hello Robert,

Sorry for the delay in the approvals, a lot of photographers upload photos and we are trying our best to get through all of them. we are also working on upgrading the system to let new photographers go through a 'pre-approval' because rejecting 'bad' images takes up most of the time.

There are also still photographers that do not seem to look at their images at 100% size, meaning they don't see any problems with their images. so soon, we hope to start changing the system so photographers that:

1. Put images in the right Main category and perhaps 1 other sub category,
2. Good quality images which can be approved 'at once' (high approval rate)
3. don't insert tons of keywords that have nothing to do with the image itselve
will get much faster approved.

We have some photographers that have an approval rate of around 100% and get their images approved almost instantly.

Again, we are going to work on upgrading the system so we can focus more on our loyal photographers with high uploads and good quality images and get their images approved at a faster rate.

Reuben,

Thank you for the reply   I was noticing that quite a few agencies have taken this time to upgrade.  Good for business, I say, although without a word from admin, it gets kinda scary kicking around alone here...

I'm hoping to see my first sale here soon.  My views have gone up, I'm hoping that's a sign.

Good to hear that.

We just came back from a 1 week holiday and hope things will move forward. new features coming soon as well.

1 I dont always practice every day. Sometimes I go for a few days without playing, which Im trying not to do. But when I practice, I never really time it. I guess I practice for about an hour or so. It depends on how things go with what Im working on.
 
2 I started playing when I was 10 or so.
 
3 Im 26 now, so its been 16 years.
