Is this a joke?

hmm.. looks like the cue is moving slowly

Not sure what is going on but I had some that said 76 hours and they were reviewed in 2 hours so I think it must be some sort of glitch.

Moahaaaaaaaa!! I have 776h on my last one. Aren´t they on a fieldtrip? Get back!!!!!

my newest file just has 855 hours to be reviewed,hehe I guess I need to be patient

When uploading on Monday, I had 9 hours, meanwhile these photos are 319 hours. Holidays? Long-sleeping?

I've stopped uploading to them and in 6 months (the time I'm required to leave my images) I will make my decision whether to pull my portfolio from there, it's nothing to do with going exclusive anywhere just as a result of some info I received.

my guess is that it is based on the last 24 or 72 or so hours of review and perhaps they had a down time in their review software or did an update or something so that number went down to basically 0... which would make the average reviews/day pretty low.

I have quite a few sitting in the cue so hopefully it doesn't take too long.

RT do share for goodness sakes or PM me! My journalistic nose is on high alert. I do love a good story and especially anything to do with pony-tails if you get my drift.

There are at least 2 threads about this on the Dreamstime boards. It is a software glitch, and the true estimated time is 5-7 days from upload date. Don't pay attention to the ETR for now.

Ed,

I'll PM for a chat anyway, but to stop others PM'ing me the info is only relevant to me personally and was regarding the way I want my business to be perceived by being related with DT.

Glitch ? Maybe. But my last upload had ETR of 17 hours, which looked OK and more than acceptable. It was counting down to 5 hours, at which time it was reassessed as 70 hours. Three days later it was down to 6 hours - and again it went up to 30 hours or so. 10 days later the pics have been reviewed and accepted. So - I am not sure it is a glitch.

fotografer · « **Reply #14 on:** May 02, 2008, 10:08 »

I had some approved yesterday that were uploaded on Sunday so they only took 4 days.

melastmohican · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2008, 12:44 »

You are lucky I got messages that it will take 36 days an 7 hours which is 871 hours

Bateleur · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2008, 15:12 »

Bizarre ...

I had some that were 'ticking down' and had only 7 or 8 hours to go. Then they suddenly jumped up to 200+ hours.

My latest ones, uploaded today, say 800+ hours. That's over a month!

I wonder if their inspectors have gone on strike.

That will make some good editorial pictures

Did they fix it today while the page was down? Cos in the morning I had 500h pending time on some files and now its 140h.
