Could someone please contact 123RF and describe the following problem:

"I have opened the Site Mail since it indicated 3 new messages. There were none in the Inbox, but in the Sent folder there is more than 1500 almost identical messages entitled "123RF Matters " or similiar. Could you please have a look at this, since I am sure I haven't been spamming any of the 123RF members. Maybe this is a bug, or maybe I do not understand something, but I would appreciate someone having a quick look."

I tried to contact 123RF, but the website insists that the security code is incorrect - which is BS. At any case, I can't contact them directly.

My member name at 123RF is "leszek".

Regards
Les Scholz


Correction: this was not over 1500 messages, but over 1500 pages with messages. The problem seems to be rectified now, after logging in again, although I could see some changes in the contents of the Sent folder after every click on the "Sent" tab. Looks like a bug.

123 stopped receiving video? I am uploading a video, different, but it is only in processing, it is not available for editing. Is anyone uploading a video there?

They no longer accept video.

They didn't even tell me. They had a period when they did not accept it, but six months ago they began to accept it again. And now everything works. But the ftp server is working.

I stopped paying attention to 123RF, but I just noticed that I have photos pending review since September 2022 and footage pending review for the past few years.

I also had a batch from last year.  I emailed them and two weeks later they rejected all of them for copyright. They were wilderness landscapes.

I gave up uploading to 123 last year.  If they stopped taking videos and they rarely sell anyway - I'm wondering if I should remove them.  These days dead galleries look like questionable data set distributions waiting to happen.

I'm slowly selling videos on this stock.

I received a response from 123. They write that they accept videos. At the moment, the authors have uploaded a lot of videos, and the system now processes it longer.
So I will wait and continue to upload the video.

Yeah longer, indeed!
My oldest pending video is from September 2019! 

Just chiming in here guys to let you know that after 3 attempts of trying to contact 123RF including not being able to join their discord server support group. I finally got a response from [email protected] saying that they were looking into why my videos were pending for months. And after around a week my videos finally got accepted.

A few months is a great result for you. On this site, you can wait six months or even 1-2 years for verification. And letters don't always help.

I take it back, I wont be submitting there anymore. Did a quick search and the overall quality of videos is pretty low and the search isn't that accurate either, but what did it for me was that they are selling both HD and 4K at the same measly price of 30 credits (1$ = 1 credit), I swiftly deleted all of my 4K videos.
