Wondering if anyone else is waiting this long? 

Mine are videos, though. Has anyone else UL'd video clips and gotten inspected? How long did it take?

The last batch I had reviewed took about that long, they were photos though. I think they tried to review the people trying to make the 150 cutoff before the end of the year, so maybe others had a longer wait?

I don't think they were trying to pay ppl more

They definitely are prioritising members trying to get over the limit of 150 approved images to keep the higher commission ... they have just done that for me.

^ Congrats!

I suppose that's what must be happening. I suspect it will delay the start of their offering video clips, as I'm sure there must be people who UL'd an initial batch to see how inspections went before UL'ing "everything".

But it will all get done eventually, I'm sure.

good for you, wish I'd noticed that announcement earlier. would have enjoyed to challenge of pushing myself to 150 in a week.

I just checked and all the videos I uploaded weeks ago have now been reviewed and accepted.  So it looks as though they are working on the video clips backlog now.

Yes is this a norm this is by far one of the longest waits for a review going i believe.

I should update this thread and mention that my queued videos have now been inspected as well (late last week). The oldest were just under 2 months old, but as promised they reviewed everything waiting in the queue, no matter how recent.

I just checked and noticed that a small batch (6 photos) I uploaded two weeks ago (Jan 25th) is still pending. It's not typically that slow at 123rf, at least for photos.

A batch since 6/2... Editorial.

At least You should give some priority to Editorial content. Almost all agencies check my ( and others ) editorial images withing 24 hours...

yes 5 weeks is a record.... but not a big record. my average pending time (for photos) is around a month... and sometimes they get reviewed in a shorter time (3 weeks)

My uploads typically take around 5 or 6 days to get reviewed. 

Photos from Feb 3rd still pending... zzz

Slow for me too lately

And 123RF isn't an exception. I have notice that 123RF, IStock, CutCaster aren't... reviewing files at all. I sent same batch to all agencies ( same day ), and SS, DT, YaY, BigS, PM, CS are reviewing faster. Even Veer is reviewing files faster than those 3 agencies.

ETA: It's just 123RF. IS and CutCaster as clean the "queue". Still, timings aren't the best.

SS and Dreamstime relatively slower for me but not so much as to bother me. I've always found Yay very quick

Having coffee with 123rf from the February 2 ...
I guess Alex was referring to this when he said "'you've got 10 months to build up a solid portfolio'" ...

In the end it was 3 days shy of 10 weeks; how's that one for a big record?  I've waited longer at iStock though -- up to 3 months (exactly).

Still Pending.

Alex knows, 123 knows, they knows. 

At least I understood why my Editorial images took so long on queue.

I sent it trough prostockmaster, and those images go always to "normal" queue. After finish upload, I need to check each image with "Consider Editorial if refused" option.

"123RF" says that Editorial queue is faster than normal one. Need to pay more attention in future.

( Thanks Alex )
