Title: Anyone able to upload?
Post by: dbvirago on April 03, 2008, 08:19
Wouldn't let me log in to ftp. Able to log into site and upload via http, but finishes with errors unable to rename file. Sent msg to support but haven't heard back yet.

They have turned off uploading again this weekend.  I have to admit, I'm starting to get a bit annoyed.  They keep promising they won't have to do this anymore, and that they have hired more reviewers. 

The problem is my workload generally dictates that I shoot on the weekend, and upload to all sites Sunday night.  BigStock is too often blocking uploads at this time, so I have to remember to get back to them later in the week.  Lately, I've been forgetting or simply not bothering.

I still don't understand how this helps. Either people upload the same number of images they would have during the weekend after Monday morning, which means they same net effect, or they forget or don't bother which means they have turned away images.

Either way, how does that help them?

Exactly DBVirago.  It doesn't make sense to me either.   ???

Stupid business decision to shut-down uploads. All this does is cause bottle necks and piss off submitters.

They claim to have hired more reviewers to solve this issue. I believe they hired only two to handle the work load of six or more.

I have just stopped uploading to Big Sock, other agencies are accepting and reviewing my images in one to two days.

Go figure!
