Title: Why isn't 123RF "submit" page working
Post by: ichiro17 on March 10, 2007, 14:08
Call me crazy, but its been forever and I can't access the submit page on 123RF.  Am I doing something wrong?  It keeps telling me to come back in an hour

Because even with the best intentions 'migrating' doesn't happen in one day...
They encountered an unexpected  big hitch that they are still trying to solve, see this thread:

Some people must be quite nervous up there.

also if you have an old link, it might be the problem.  I had a link that didn't work.. then it went to plain old

www.123rf.com and managed to get in.

Same as Leaf, my old link no longer worked. Did as Leaf said and set up a new one. No problem getting on, however, much else doesn't work.  My 25 approved pix still aren't posted.... AND,  it seems that my March sales aren't registering in my account area.  The pictures show downloads that do not appear credited to my account.
    I'm not getting upset yet as obviously, they are having problems with this migration. I'm giving them time, they seem to be trying to make this a class operation.    8)  -tom

I was able to upload this morning.  I hope they do well, they are the easiest site to upload to.  Looks like they now will have FTP, even easier!

FTP worked before already. But now I always get a "server is busy" message when I try to upload through FTP ...

All the best,
Michael

I was told they expected it to be up by Wednesday.

Note taht the February final payout for subsriptions still hasn't been calucated so there might be a few more cents there.

uploaded 40 eps files to 123 thru their website but no thumbnails are being generated so impossible to keyword and their FTP isn't working at the moment.
 :'(
Only good news the reviewed my submissions from the beginning of March  ;D

FTP not working but the Java uploader was successful (thumbnails and all)

Still have not had images reviewed since the migration.

This site is more like a yo-yo than a microstock agency:  It's up, it's down, it's up, it's down.  This is why you use development servers to work out bugs before porting an application to an application server.

The forum is back up if anyone wants to post a question.

Note: I had to re-log in to be able to post (I just did a test one as I didn't think it was working properly, not anything important).

My 25 approved images from February 6th,  still aren't in my portfolio...  march sales as seen by the downloads on the pictures still aren't in my account.    ???????  this migration sure isn't going very well.....  I'm starting to rethink 123 myself.  I'm only going to hang on a little while longer, I may bail out..............    8) -tom

I had problems with eps files not being rasterized so no thumbnail to keyword yesterday morning.

Admin were very prompt and supportive though the problem didn't sort itself out on my computer until the evening.

Hopefully they won't be trying to change the site again, at least they didn't decide to start using categories and expect us to do all the work.

As long as the upload process runs smoothly I will continue to support them
