Yes, one reviewed and accepted on day 9, still have quite a few in the queue - but why do some get reviewed within a couple of days, hours even?   

That is something that is starting to bother me too, and not just at FT btw, will look into this.

I've always been under the impression (for reasons I can't recall) that FT reviews illustrations faster than photographs. 

In all the years I've been microstocking, my reviews there have been one-and-a-half to two days.  Never changed.  (Photographer).

Some images in review since March 27 here, never happened before btw.

48 hours review time here ( last ones were around 24h ).

FL reviews mine as I upload as a rule, often one min or less. I guess they prioritize somehow, maybe based on acceptance rate or sales?
I'm guessing mine don't pass by human eyeballs as it seems too quick to be a person receiving the files then reviewing them.

If they prioritize under thOse rules, my first 2011 batch would be under review until now :D

I had one or two batch's approved in minutes too (on the end of the year I think ). My Acceptance rate is around 50% ( :D ) and sales just "take off" this year.

But I believe that FT ( like others ) can have an special "rule" for best contributors.

Maybe top contributers just go straight through???  You should try submitting something really crap and see what happens  ;D

I usually have images appoved in minutes or hours but have just had one approved after 4 days waiting.

OM

Within a 10-day period, of 5 images submitted, all were reviewed and accepted within minutes. 7 days later, all 4 images took 3 days to be reviewed (unusually long for me), 3 were accepted and one rejected. One day you're hot and the next day you're not. ;D Try as I might, I cannot detect a pattern.
