Title: Help me understand pending time
Post by: RH on September 08, 2008, 10:08
Hi there,

i donīt really unterstand the ETR. Sometimes it shows 2 hours for the whole day and sometimes "n/a - Image under review" going back to "hours"!!?? For a few days over ftp uploaded images, that only needs keyword etc. and then are submitted, have an instant review and the other images still waiting.
Can somebody explain it to me. Iīm not in a hurry, but thatīs not comprehensible for me. ???

Nothing to understand. It just doesn't work. Never did (I'm at DT about 2 years).
Don't waste your time looking at this useless tool.

yes, i think it does work...

I think it takes the average speed at which the reviewers are working ... say 1000 images/hour and then divides it by the amount of images left and gives you an approx. time.

If there are lots of workers working hard then the amt. of time left will be very little, on the weekend if they all stop working, it is going to jump up to a high number again.

Thanks Tyler,

i understand it, but you can call it also "false pretences". IS is much better. If an image is in the pending queue it is in the pending queue. Not in and out, in and out.
