Title: Selective review
Post by: Dodie on November 30, 2016, 03:55
123 was always one of the tidiest agencies (IMO) but something strange is going on lately with the review process.
Waiting time was long but when finally time came to review stuff, they reviewed all files. Lately they review just a few files, some from the bottom, some from the middle and some from the top of the pile waiting.
Just an example to be more clear:
I had 60 waiting, one was reviewed but I have no idea which one, the next day another one reviewed. That makes 58 waiting. I uploaded 5 more images and the image count showed 51 instantly instead of 63. Guess what, some of the newest files were pushed (reviewed) over to approved, also some from the middle of the pile.
Anyway, none of these newly approved show up in my port yet.

Anyone else?

Yep I am experiencing the same (and Canstock too who told me files were being reviewed "at random"). How hard can it be?

I stopped uploading to Canstock years ago, that site seams to be on autopilot.

I like 123's simple uploading process and the site always worked like clockwork for me, except the long waiting time. I hope this selective review is just a temporary thing, they must be heavy with uploads so at the end of the year.

I do OKish on Canstock one of the lucky few I guess....I've always found RF123 a bit flaky software wise but always been punching above its weight for me (compared to chart on right).

They reviewed my images after I had written to them and then they never appeared in my portfolio.
I've asked them and they said they were aware of this issue and will fix it in about a week or two.
These were all Christmas images.

Lucky you :D
I sent them a message and they said "we will have someone assigned to review your submissions at the soonest". That was on 11th last month and not a single image was reviewed since :| Those were also Christmas images. One month on the queue is the new norm :p

Guess I will send this year's Christmas images to RT next October :-)

I've been experiencing the same for my last 2 batches.

Yes, I am also experiencing this! I can't tell what is being approved and then it is one from weeks ago, followed by one I posted this week. Everything is all jumbled up.

Also, for the first time in 9 years, most of my images are being rejected. I've never experienced this with this company. Something has definitely changed.
