Been spinning and working 5 minutes for well over 15-20 plus minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

This spinning is just a waste of time and my internet service which is DATA limited so it just burns up DATA doing nothing that I pay for each month and 123's easy upload process was thrown out the window for what may even be more piss poor then what they have over on BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got hundreds to upload and can't do a dam thing like this so it looks like time to wait till the cows come home and maybe then it will be fixed or maybe we are going to have to wait till hail freezes over???????????????????

The web uploader doesn't appear to work. I uploaded several files and then it just looks like they have disappeared.

However, when I went into my FTP client and logged in to my uploads, the files I uploaded via the web uploader were there.

After going back to the upload page and the selecting "FTP settings / Check Upload FTP Results", I get a page that allows me to "process" the files that I uploaded via the web uploader.

This "upgrade" is flawed and much more time consuming than the previous uploader. Could have used a bit more beta testing before implementing this.

You're not wasting internet bandwidth while it's "spinning", nothing is being transferred at that point. Once it's uploaded just close the page and come back later.

I stopped uploading there because of the RC system - I guess I'm glad I did!

What happened to 123rf?

- Revenue disappearing without showing any refunds (we are not talking just 1-2 dollars)
- Upload problems
- Live chat not working
- constant site errors

A large website like this needs a staging environment to test the site before applying the updates to the live website. This just frustrates people by introducing errors.

We have to play by the rules with keeping up quality. I would expect the same from the company representing my work.

Just my 2 cents. Back to work :)

I just gave their new upload a go. Using safari, I followed the steps and it did nothing. I mean nothing. After clicking the red process button it just NOTHING. Waited for hour or more. Tried multiple times.

Then opened firefox and did it - worked fine. All processed within about 5 mins.

Clearly it needs a lot more work to improve the system.

Thanks Microstock Man for discovering that it is working in firefox. It worked for me as well.

No worries. I would have hoped 123RF would have tested their new system on all the major browsers before going live with it.

Me too what a mess and I used to find uploading on 123 so smooth and easy!

As we have seen over the last few months, Chrome is still rising in popularity over all of the other browsers. Chrome is the only browser that is gaining users while all the rest are declining, except Safari, IE7 and IE6, which are all holding steady with very low percentages.

I stand corrected. I'm amazed really. I thought the majority of people were still sitting at home on their 6 year old Dell PC running IE6 and not knowing any different.

I agree. Despite all the bad press, IE was able to hang on until sometime last year. Fact is, all browsers have pros and cons. I actually use IE, Chrome and FF depending on what I am doing.

Some tools at work only work properly on IE because they are written for IE, which is completely backwards these days as IE is no longer the most used browser. So we are stuck using IE, but anything running fine outside IE we use Firefox instead, and at home everything I do is on Chrome.

I believe this is a server side process, since your files are already on their server, so don't worry you're not loosing any of your internet quota..

it worked for me, here's what I did, I uploaded my files using FTP client, used Firefox v21.0 to process the files, 5 images took almost 36 minutes.
I think the script is processing many images at once therefore returning false estimated time, give it another shot,
best wishes.

Seems some of my photos got through the spinning problem yesterday - but the titles are mangled beyond usefulness!
For example, for a particular kind of caterpillar, it now just says INSECT. For a deserted sandy beach it just says SAND. I cannot edit these titles but they will never help anybody find my photos. Clay pigeon shooting targets are similarly BREAK DISC.
Sigh...
I've sent an email to 123 but be warned...and do check!
Creative computing at work!

I'm a mac user (iPhone, iPad, iMac, MacBookPro, i'd buy an Apple car if they made one), but I dislike Safari. I use Chrome. (despite my dislike for Google, I just like to use stuff that works)

back OT, I have, for the first time, experienced what everyone has been whinging about. A hung upload process. ah well, what can we do? go and upload elsewhere I guess.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your patience. It's near Friday and I hope to report the progress on the upload system at 123RF.

As promised, we have included a time estimation when you queue files for processing with us.
We have really thrown the book at the system by queuing batches of 4000+ files from one portfolio into it and stress testing it out.
It seems to be able to queue files gracefully and display the correct error messages when it encounters any problems instead of stalling.

If you click on the "Processing Queue" tab, the reporting on the estimated time it takes to process your files seems to be correct now. And the proper errors are also being displayed here.

As for problems with keywords and descriptions, you may also opt to use the "Upload CSV" tool to help with the mapping:
http://submit.123rf.com/images_uploadcsv.php

Alternatively, you may click on the "Completed Images" tab to complete your description and keywording activities.
http://submit.123rf.com/myuploaded.php

Thank you very much, if you find the system still bugging out on you, please feel free to email [email protected].

Alex.
Thanks Alex lets hope!

But I am going to wait for others and see what happens to them.

I have hundreds waiting to go but with this new system pfffffffttttt it is and has been a complete waste of my time.

The old one worked so much easier and was so much better.

Why did you go from the easiest uploading system around to something tedious and completely backwards? For countering uploaders? Who makes these decisions? Its completely backwards thinking.

I agree.
Why not compare the 123rf upload system with the GL Stock Images one and draw some conclusion
