MicrostockGroup

Just for your information :
Work fine for me :  Shutterstock, Istockphoto and Dreamstime.
Do not work :
- Fotolia (custom)
- Canstock (worked until last week, don't understand why it doesn't work now)
- 123rf (I expected that, this won't work until they change their login system)
- Graphicleftovers :  temporarily no uploading this week, they're working on their backlog

Still, I'm happy as long as Istockphoto keeps on working!

Borg, I think that means it is not working for you either.  When it was working my images showed up in a few minutes, never more than an hour.

Still broken for me too.

I confirm the problem, still investigating

Hopefully will find this solution before Sunday.

Hi David

Hope the trouble shooting is going well! Can you let us all know when you think this will be fixed. I have a large stack of images that I am holding back until it is clear which sites they will be distributed to.

Lightburner is one of the few services in microstock that I would definitely pay for. I upload to about 22 sites and having the ability to just send my files to one location and see them all distributed to all sites is a great service. If you could extend that to some video sites, it would be awesome. Have you thought about starting to charge for anything above the main 4 sites, perhaps and building up the support team? I, for one, would pay monthly for this service.

More good news!  I spoke too soon :  Istock just received all my uploads, so may-be the others will follow.
That 'll teach me to be impatient.

I tried an experiment tonight with one image - it got uploaded to 12 sites (not 123RF, nor Fotolia, Veer and a host of other sites). I have asked this of support in the past - is there a limit to the number of channels you can upload to?

As I said before, I would really pay for this service, but we need to know what its limits are.

I was testing the system this weekend, was switching off the automatic distribution.
So some of your images could be uploaded when I ran my manually tests.
Now I put the auto-distribution back, looks like all images for all customers are being distributed.
Will take a few hours to empty the queue.

Fixed a few things related to distribution.
As far as I can see the queue is gone, how it looks now?

Tried it tonight. All channels - both default and custom - worked perfectly (except ClipDealer, but it's probably a problem on their side since I can't even FTP directly). Thanks.

Great, happy the issue is sorted out.

Steve,
No, there is no upper limit on number of channels you can have.
If you still have problems let me know what channels do not work for you.

David

The working ones are:

SS, DT, BS, Canstock, Yay, Panther, Cutcaster, iSign, Zoonar, Most, Photodune

The ones that don't work are:

Crestock, Veer, Clipdealer, Fotolia, Scanstock, Deposit, 123, Stockfresh

Some of these I set up as FTP, but appear to be connecting fine in the Channels section, except for 123 that never seems to connect at all.

Graphic Leftovers didn't work but I think their FTP is down.

Thanks David

I've changed my channels for the sites you now use FTP for, and I noticed that I didn't have the "automatically submit on upload" button checked for Scanstock and Stockfresh - my mistake!

I'll test again now that I have hopefully fixed the issues.
