Title: What up with thephotostorage.com?
Post by: travismanley on March 04, 2009, 10:47
Not sure if this is the right spot for this question, but is anyone else having trouble accessing thephotostorage?

I couldnt get anything to upload yesterday and now I can even access the site? I noticed they still had christmas pics up on their main page is this site going down the tubes?

is there really no one else out there submitting to thephotostorage? I have been trying to upload the same batch for the last two weeks with no luck. I was hoping there was someone else out there submitting so they could let me know if im just being crazy or there is something wrong with the site.

I can log in and everything now, but still no luck. I have emailed them but they are acting like it is a problem on my end.

I dropped that site a long time ago. If they've shut down, I wouldn't be surprised.

I only keep submitting because its pretty easy (unless you have to attach MR's). I dont think they have shut down, but I noticed the stuff I uploaded a couple weeks ago is still showing up on their main page as "recent uploads."

LMAO!!  That's not a good sign Travis.  Sounds like that place is like beating a dead horse.  Almost as bad as Fotomind...I don't know why I even bother to continue uploading.  Same deal - it's easy.  One more ftp to upload to, then one click and I'm done.  No MR's to deal with even, like Mostphotos.  All micros should be that simple.

I'll second that. These new sites really have to keep the upload process simple to keep people submitting even though they aren't getting any sales.

I just received a payment from thephotostorage.  $19.40 - I thought they had a $100 payout limit?

Well, I'm happy.

Looks like that they are down already for a couple of days. Maybe they are gone ...

Hmmm... that is strange. Not a good sign. I stopped uploading to these guys awhile ago.
