I had a batch of 14 images, they reviewed and approved 4. since then nothing has happened. I have submitted images after this batch and they all get approved in the usual 10 min, but this one batch just sits there after only reviewing 4 of the 14 images.

Seems to be, from what I'm reading. ESP is a bunch of foetid dingoes' kidneys. Some people are reporting files sitting approved but not on sale for weeks, even months.
Still, I'm also reading that new files aren't selling much, so it probably doesn't matter much.
Of course, that's anecdotal evidence. A few people seem to get getting through OK, but obviously people are more likely to report if they have a problem.
Contact their support, it's the only possible way of getting any help.

Yes, I am reading this too. But also for Shutterstock, Fotolia, etc.

The fact is that on the forums you generally find the unhappy people, the unsatisfied ones and the ones with some problem.
So we often have the impression that nothing works and that everybody has a lot of problems.
In reality those probably represent no more than 0,1% of the microstock users.

99,9% of happy people (the silent majority) have no reason to come on the forum to complain�

About images stuck in queue.
I have just noticed that on CanStockPhotos I have images in queue since January!
I asked them why, and they answered me that it is because the images needs a second review�
But they did not tell me why I needed to wait 5 months to get a second review�
I'm speechless�
