So....  Seeing as the "grandfathering proposal" has been shelved, decided to give this a go and uploaded initial 10 on Friday night.  Quite surprised this morning (I gather reviews can take some time) to see they are approved.  Few questions:

Can't see anything in a portfolio - is there normally a delay & how long?

Can I just start uploading a whole bunch of stuff now?

As far as I know there are no upload limits on 123rf, so upload away.

I've never checked on things showing up in my portfolio on 123rf, so I have no idea about delays, but I would assume there are as every site has moved away from things showing up in real time. And yes, reviews can take a week or more, but it's highly variable.

Thanks - I tend not to look at portfolios either except at the beginning to see how things work.  Just figured out you need to go through the upload process to see stuff already uploaded over ftp  :-[

Unlike SS and DT, several other sites make you explicitly process your FTP uploads. PD, 123rf, Veer, Stockfresh all do that - and I really don't know what the point is.

Once you have enough files uploaded and approved, remember to use 123rf's "Fave" process to give a search engine boost to a subset (I think it's 5%) of your portfolio.

You know the "grandfathering proposal" was shelved and replaced with lowering most contributors royalty % right?

Hey Heywoody,

Your images will only appear in your portfolios within 48 hours - 72 hours. However, the approved images are searchable on site 24 hours after approval by our reviewers.

Indeed you can start uploading a whole bunch of stuff now.

Hope this information helps.


Regards,
Anglee

Jo Anne, Anglee,

Thanks again - must check out the fave thing.

Traveller,

Someone from Nigeria might seek work in Ireland or Greece in these times with falling pay and rising unemployment - the same person would not have been likely to move to South Africa at the height of apartheid....
