I'm sure that some people will feel it necessary to attack me for providing information, but there are several announcements in the istock help forum about this ongoing problem, with recommended steps that you should take should you find yourself in this situation.

If anyone is interested in actual information on this topic, here is a link to the most recent thread:

I read mr lockes post but felt the need to mention it on this forum as well.I am venturing less and less into the istock forum.I obviously upload and check my daily stats but the forum has kinda died for me now.Far too clicky and back slapping by senior contributors and admins.
BDE yesterday with 13 sales ($21) 3 files Accepted and no rejections!

Okay, I wasn't sure if you were just venting, or if you actually wanted a possible explanation for the delay.

No comment on your experiences in the istock forum.

Hmmm. You were banned from the forums. Inspectors hang out in the forums. And now you have a long inspection delay?

The inspectors who hang out in the istock forum are helpfull,funny and good natured and has nothing to do with my delay on images awaiting inspection from the 12-18th.My photos uploaded after that day are getting inspected within 48 hours as per the norm.

I have a two week wait on just about all my Istock uploads. This week was a bit faster.

I just noticed this.  I have had pretty fast reviews on my latest uploads, but some from the 13th - 15th are still in the queue. 

The ones that were just approved were holiday images.  Wondering if they are looking to approve seasonal images first to catch the holiday sales season?  Just a theory...
