How long does it take for images to show up in the lightboxes?
I added some yesterday afternoon, put the banners into the description, and they're showing up here as having been added, but the five I added to the Nature box aren't showing in there yet, nor do they show in my 'lightboxes' thingy in My Uploads on iStock.
Usually, if I add an image to an iStock lightbox, it works immediately.

yeah, if you add them to one of your own lightboxes it shows up for your immediatly, but to others it takes a day or two to get there.

For the MSG lightboxes, once you add them through the site here, I have to click on a button (which I just did now).  Then wait a day or two and THEN they will be in the lightbox.

Would it be better if submitter can add 5 images each month instead of once in a lifetime? Or just single image, but each month?
In this case submitter will pick up the best one, an also fresh one.
If we all limited to only 5 without any (simple) possibility to rotate them, with time we would have only old (and thus, most probably, not the best) images in Microstockgroup Lightboxes...

How do You think?

P.S. Many thanks for this opportunity to promote our images!

It is better to make more and more lightboxes on the same subject than manage only one?

Kobyakov,

I think the original idea about limiting the number of images per photographer - Leaf can correct me - was to give equal exposure to any of the participants.

I agree and respect the idea of "equal exposure". I am just thinking about future of the lightboxes.

Equal exposure is fair rule. But from the other side these lightboxes suppose to attract more buyers to our images now and in the future. To be efficient in it, they must contain the best of our images. With time (I, personally do it) photographer can return to previous subjects an made way better image, or few. And here I see two possibilities:
 - the lightbox is updated - photographer contacts Leaf, Leaf removes old stuff, photographer submits new images. Not the easiest way for the photographer and Leaf;
 - the lightbox remains unchanged. photographer is too lazy or just don't want to waist his time to update the lightbox.

In the first case there will be new images in the lightbox, and it suppose to be OK for its popularity. In the second - the lightbox would never be popular since buyers will see the same images from year to year.

Again, each photographer is different. Someone have beautiful summer images, some other - hot drinks. I am sure they both would be happy to have 5 more places in the lightbox of their best-selling subject for 5 places in other lightbox, where they have nothing to submit. And the more good images - the better lightbox.

Forgive me for being so persistent, but I just want to understand how it works and would it bring some money now and in the future.

By the way - the automatic image submission via web interface is just brilliant idea, I haven't seen such easy solution before.
