25th now and still can't upload photos.
And the worst thing is that it still lets you go through the upload process before giving you the "not processed" message. If they know it's broken can't they just switch it right off until they get around to fixing it? The lack of communication here (or on their Facebook/Twitter pages) doesn't help matters. Regards, David.
And it's still broken! There was a brief sign of life this morning when it suddenly worked perfectly and I managed to get 5 images uploaded and submitted to the rejection queue, but then it went again -back to the Not Processed/Unknown Error message. Ryan did respond to an email some weeks ago saying they were "working on it". Seems their IT section goes at the same speedy pace as their reviews. Regards, David.

Your welcome! Sorry, should have posted that link in the first place - I guess everyone's getting a bit confused when there are two sites with the same (rather odd) name. Regards, David

Thank you for responding, David! I am on Veer. Veer is partnered with Pocketstock.com.mx (I think the mx is correct) and I've read that it is a different company. I checked their website and I couldn't read anything on it so I don't know where it is located.
I wrote to Pocketstock.com yesterday and had a message today from a gal who is new and said she would check with her manager since she had no idea what was going on. Her honesty was appreciated! Still waiting for an answer though...
Sue - Veer appear to be partnered with both the Mexico site called Pocketstock and the new UK site with the same name (just to keep things simple!). I'm pretty sure my images on the UK site are from Veer -the file numbers are all prefaced by VE. In the thread (linked below) Trek says (post 4) that he found his files there with his Veer only user name. Regards, David. http://www.microstockgroup.com/new-sites-general/pocketstock-rip/

How did my photos get on their site without my help! The ones I've seen seem to have come from more than one place and I haven't uploaded anything to them.
Are you on Veer? Pocketstock is one of their partners if I remember correctly. Regards, David.

Just checking: that wording seems to suggest you don't accepte editorial?
Correct, we do not offer an editorial license at this time.
Thank you for confirming.
In best Duncan Bannatyne mode, "And for that reason, I'm out!"
That would be me too as a large proportion of my port is editorial. Kelly, is that something you are considering or would consider in the near future? Regards, David.

on FAA, what does "Dimensions and Price (Originals and Non-Print-On-Demand Prints)" mean and I would think that it would pick this data up from the camera. I certainly wouldn't want to put that info in manually for every one of my images. And it looks like you have to upsize if you want more money. I'm shooting a D700, 12 mp.
To answer the first part - As I understand it, that is only needed if you are selling an original piece of work (for example a painting). You're telling potential buyers the physical size of the painting/sculpture etc and your price for selling it. Just ignore that bit if you are uploading images for print on demand. Regards, David.

Well, we were wondering about the change of name........
Seriously, good luck sorting it out! Regards, David.

Thank goodness! Thought there was something wrong with my computer (or me) as I have had the normal version all day and now suddenly this weird one. The "shout" messages (for premium members) is missing as well. I'm sure it's just a glitch and normal service will be resumed soon. Regards, David.

Hi Brett,
Welcome to MSG -what took you so long?! You have an excellent port which, in my opinion, would sell across all the major agencies. Only you can weigh up whether the drop in commission at DT from leaving exclusivity while you build ports elsewhere is viable for you.
It might be worth knowing that you can get accepted at Shutterstock and build up a portfolio before your exclusivity ends (you have an "opt out of Shutterstock" in your account -which keeps your images offline until you opt back in).
Best of luck and a happy New Year to you to!
Kind regards, David.

Working fine here in the UK (IE9) using both the links in this thread and the one under "low earners" over on the right. Until Trek mentioned it earlier I hadn't realised they were a Veer partner site -all my Veer port is there under the Compass Premium RF badge.
Might be worth mentioning that I am seeing prices in GBP and their offices are in London. Are there perhaps regional sites for Pocketstock? The UK one working and others not? Regards, David.

Have a great one and a brilliant 2013! I look forward to all your interesting, informative, (and sometimes provocative and just downright annoying) posts in the coming year. And special good wishes to Tyler for making this all happen.
Kind regards, David.

The Individual Image Licenses can include an option for Sensitive Use but that doesn't automatically mean they are being used in that way. Here's a link to a Shutterbuzz post about the subject http://www.shutterstock.com/buzz/individual-image-licenses-updateKind regards, David. Edit to fix wonky link (I hope!)

Yes but has anybody really hit the jackpot and got a sale on cutcaster this month???
That was me! A 1977 B/W shot of Morris Minor cars at an autocross event ($1.84 commission). Regards, David.

I'm still waiting for the thank you email sent to contributors after the IPO

I registered via Fotolia.co.uk and (last time I looked) one credit was equal to 0.75 GBP, which strikes me as being a better rate than those getting US$ (though things can obviously fluctuate all the time). Regards, David.

Canstock, at this time, do not take editorial images. There are a number of us that really wish they would and we post in the forum there saying that from time to time. It's not something they have ruled out forever I think, but not at the moment.
Along with Fotolia they are now among the minority of (bigger) sites not to take editorial. Keep hoping! Regards, David.

Err, not sure she meant that -you don't get an email alert for flagged keywords (well I don't anyway!). Isn't it the service for buyers where they send you an email if there are new images matching the keyword/s you're interested in (e.g. frogs). I'm sure I've seen that on their newsletters but can't find anything on the site. Or is that another agent? Age brings confusion.....Regards, David.

The upload limit was increased recently.
Non-Exclusive Upload Limits
Default now 28/week (was 18)
Bronze now 30/week (was 20)
Silver now 40/week (was 24)
Gold now 50/week (was 30)
Diamond now 60/week (was 38)
Black Diamond now 70/week (was 40)
Really? That's news to me. Can't find any announcement about that and my upload limit (non exclusive) still says 18 per week. Anyone else know anything about this or have a link? Regards, David.

I thought the hit last year by Aloe Blacc "I need a dollar" was a pretty good microstock theme song. Made me smile every time it came on the radio.

Yep, uploaded a batch of 5 (via the web site uploader) but they weren't there when I went to the edit/submit page. Re-uploaded the set and still nothing. They all (both sets) showed up after an hour or so though. Just submitted the 5 and deleted the dupes. Obviously, just a bit slow on the processing - probaly due to the overload from everyone creating galleries (see other thread). Regards, David.

Sad to hear that. I always hate to see magazines and newspapers with a long history disappear from the newstands. Had a few stock shots used in Newsweek back in the day (nothing glamorous like front covers or anything). Saying that, when did I last read it? -my subscription ran out a long time ago - and these days I get most of my news from television or the internet. Still, I'm not all bad -won a Kindle last year and it's still in the box. Just went on holiday to Greece and went out to buy REAL books to take. How can you read a Page Turner when you can't turn the pages  Regards, David.

I find the first attempt fails, then the second attempt goes through each time. Odd, but at least it is possible to upload.
Gave that a try -but, no, just keep getting the unknown error message. It's about time they turned that into a known error -and fixed it. Regards, David.
